'''''Donkey Kong Country Returns''''' with the classic side-scrolling play that made the original so popular, now rendered with new levels and vibrant 3D environments. When Donkey Kong's banana stash is stolen, he goes on a quest to get them back. This time, Diddy Kong joins the adventure, opening up the franchise's first opportunity for co-op play. Diddy can hop on and off Donkey Kong's back any time, giving rookies a chance to ride along when the going gets too tough.

=== Trouble Connecting 2nd Wiimote ===
{{Problems|{{#vardefineecho:problems|
The game fails to detect the second Wiimote most of the time if you boot the game with both Wiimotes already connected to Dolphin. To avoid that, boot the game with only one Wiimote and connect the second Wiimote only when asked (eg. in "Connect Player 2's Wii Remote" pop up when you select "2 Players" from the main menu).


=== Z-Order Issues ===
Some graphical elements don't order properly and are drawn on top of the player. Disable Fast Depth Calculation to fix this issue.
{{image|DKCR Z-Order broken.png|Wrong order}}

=== {{s}}Super Guide May Die{{/s}} ===
 
The Super Guide may fail or die because the game and Super Guide recordings fall out of sync. Fixed in {{revision|4.0-2729}}.
}}}}
 
== Enhancements ==
 
===HD Texture Pack===
 
There is a high definition texture pack for Donkey Kong Country Returns on the Dolphin forums.[https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thread-wii-fhd-donkey-kong-country-returns-hd-textures-mod-v1-4?highlight=donkey+kong+country]
 
=== Remove 4:3 Borders ===
When the Wii Aspect Ratio is set to 4:3, the game will add black borders to the top & bottom of the screen to remain in 16:9. The game was designed only for 16:9 display, but the following Gecko codes will remove the borders from it to allow proper display based on the Wii settings:

''Notes: The 7th code is the X-FOV and the 9th one is the Y-FOV for the 4:3 setting; The 11th code is the X-FOV and the 14th code is the Y-FOV for the 16:9 aspect setting. There's also some minor graphic issues for blast effects and the projection plane with Donkey Kong in it.''
 
 
=== Disable Bloom ===
This titles bloom lighting renders incorrectly /w resolutions above Native. This code disables the bloom effect.

{{testing/entry|revision=5.0|OS=Windows 10|CPU=Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 @ 2.4GHz|GPU=NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 Ti|result=At default settings, the game runs at 75~90%. Interestingly enough, the game runs at full speed when underclocking the CPU down to 50% (Config --> Advanced --> CPU Options --> Enable CPU Clock Override) at the cost of other benefits (longer loading times, slow downs in overworld map, etc). In my case, I underclocked the CPU down to 25% (182 MHz). Anything lower than 25% will slow down the game, same when overclocking past 100%, so I would suggest values between 25 and 50% for this game.}}
