How to Unlock Hero Mode in "Donkey Kong Country"
Initially released for the Super Nintendo in 1994, "Donkey Kong Country" was ported to the Game Boy Advance (GBA) in 2003. The gameplay is largely unchanged, but GBA players can unlock a special variation of the game called "Hero Mode." While playing in the challenging Hero Mode, players control Diddy Kong, who is sporting a yellow shirt instead of the usual red, and must play though the game without Donkey Kong or checkpoint barrels.
