Donkey Kong Country 4 - The Kongs' Return (Demo Version 2025) - PC Fan Game Gameplay | Nimaginendo

Yesterday, on the same day as the anniversary of "Super Mario Bros. Wonderland 87", was also the day of the release of the newest 2025 demo of the fan game "Donkey Kong Country 4 - The Kong's Return". I've been involved in this project for about a year, collaborating with some sprites, sharing one of the sounds I made for my Kiddy Kong's Showtime and others exclusively for DKC4, and even sprite concepts like the bees that fly in the ice stage, and the new crocodile dogs for which I made the first frame (and model, without using any 3D tool), and Edu Buiu Alves (in the same way) continued my work by making the frames. He did all the movement of these concepts of mine.

He already made other sprites himself, both concepts and models and frames. And these "flying pigs" from Donkey Kong Land are the ones I shared with the project. They've already made their debut in the Lost World of the fan game "Kiddy Kong's Challenge", a challenge fan game I made and released last year, which Buiu also collaborated on with concepts and models, which I continued with the sprite frames he created and others I did myself.

Today, on this special day (since it's my birthday now XD) I decided to make this unexpected gameplay video playing this new demo of DKC4. The Donkey Kong Country series and Super Mario RPG are my favorite games of all time, so why not celebrate with something you love so much?

The new Donkey Kong Country 4 demo contains two levels... one on ice, the other underwater, featuring a new seahorse buddy animal exclusive to the fan game.

This project doesn't have a specific release date yet... but stay tuned! Follow my friend-brother on his channel and stay well informed about any updates on both the DKC5 project (entirely created by Buiu) and DKC4 (created by "Fernando Kalango") and even sometimes on Kiddy Kong's Showtime itself (created by me but also in collaboration with Buiu). This is his channel:

The download is also available on Buiu's community posts and on the Donkey Kong Country 4 project page on Facebook.

Also in this same video, I show other projects that I'm also developing, such as "Kiddy Kong's Showtime", "Corumba Land", which also has a reference to Donkey Kong, "Donkey Kong Country - The Arena Rivals", and of course, one that I still intend to make some changes to in the future, even though it's one of the few most rejected projects I've done XD... Kiddy Kong's Challenge!

See you next time!

This fan game is not made by me or even created by me... it is a project created by "Fernando Kalango" and "LeoCore" from DKC4Team. I am just collaborating with the team.

This video and the project are non-profit. Made by fans for fans to enjoy.
