Rabbid Cranky is the second new character in Donkey Kong Adventure who also provides some fun, new abilities to the party. Coupling this with his ground pound attack means that you can make short work of enemies in no time. On top of this his weapon is a boomerang that allows you to hit multiple targets at once, and he has a special ability where he plays the bongos and nearby enemies are drawn to him. Another level design choice that is obviously inspired by Donkey Kong is the fact that he can pick up blocks off the map and throw them at enemies – useful when the blocks have effects such as honey or bounce. This can also be used to throw enemies out of bounds. He can throw team members across the level – useful for approaching and avoiding enemies. Donkey Kong can also climb up the terrain without the use of jumping on another team member or using a pipe.ĭonkey Kong himself has numerous abilities that make him seemingly undefeatable in combat, or at least by the time I finished the game I never had him die once. There are numerous Donkey Kong exclusive jump pads scattered around each level that allow him to move across the levels at ease. Each level feels like it is designed solely for Donkey Kong in mind. (Although Rabbid Peach’s healing abilities do come in useful on occasion). The gameplay still retains the same strategic elements of the base game, but it has shifted to feel based solely on Donkey Kong and the abilities that he possesses as opposed relying on all three characters. You soon discover that Rabbid Kong is running amok in this dimension and it’s up to you to knock him down a peg and restore order to this unusual world. Rabbid Peach and Beep-O are returning characters who are accidentally transported to a different dimension via a malfunctioning washing machine, where they meet their new companions – Donkey Kong and Rabbid Cranky. Offering up a bizarre new story that could only work in the Rabbid universe. Related reading: Our review of the base Mario + Rabbids game
