Looking back I can still remember my first time playing Super Nintendo. That system has such a library of video games spanning a multitude of genres. Donkey Kong Country happens to be one of my favorite series because it has survived the test of time. People can still look back to those games for the harmonious music, captivating background scenery, and unique levels which were squeezed into the 16-bit era of gaming.

Having originated from Japan there are still many East-Asian fans of the Donkey Kong series. But this is also true in western audiences where the Super Nintendo was a big seller. I went through Pixiv and put together a beautiful gallery of Donkey Kong Country artwork. All of these are fan-made pieces inspired by real scenes & characters from the 3 original DKC video games.
