14 DAY TRIAL // Nintendo's upcoming new Donkey Kong game, Donkey Kong Country Returns, will have the same special Super Guide as last year's New Super Mario Bros. Wii, in order to help players that can't finish certain levels in the game.
For those not in the know, Nintendo introduced late last year, with New Super Mario Bros. Wii, a special option, called Super Guide, in order to help players that were struggling with certain levels or stages.
After players died at least eight times during a level, the Super Guide option was made available.
With that option, Luigi, one of the two brothers, appeared and traveled through the level, and players had the chance to stop him at any time and resume playing on their own.
Now, with the upcoming Donkey Kong Country Returns, Nintendo is once again implementing such a system.
This time, players will be helped by a new character called Super Kong, which is just like Donkey but with a silver fur and a blue tie.
As you can imagine, Nintendo won't actually allow the Super Guide to be used by lazy people or cheaters.
Super Kong will take the most efficient route through the level, but won't use any secret pathways or shortcuts, which must be discovered by the player by his own.
Also, any scoring items collected by Super Kong won't be added to the total of the player, and the levels completed with the help of the Super Guide will be shows as red dots on the game's map, so people can't brag to their friends about completing the whole game.
As with New Super Mario Bros. Wii, the Super Guide is only available in the single-player mode of the game, and won't appear when players are going through the game using the co-op mode.
Donkey Kong Country Returns is set to appear exclusively on the Nintendo Wii on November 21, in North America, December 3 in Europe and December 9 in Japan.
