'''''Donkey Kong 64''''' is a 3D platforming/adventure [[video game]] developed by [[Rare Ltd.]] and published by [[Nintendo]]. It was originally known as '''''Donkey Kong Country 64''''' in development. It was released on November 24, 1999 for the [[Nintendo 64]] game console.<ref>[https://www.gamefaqs.com/n64/191702-donkey-kong-64 GameFAQS]</ref>
The game was packed in with an Expansion Pak that added four megabytes of extra RAM when installed in the Nintendo 64 console and this accessory was required to play the game due to a game-breaking glitch that was somehow remedied by the usage of the Pak.
DK64 represents a stark contrast from the 2D [[Donkey Kong Country]] series of games, and the game more strongly resembles Rare's other 3D platformers such as ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'', since the main emphasis of the gameplay is collecting various objects to make progress within the game.
The plot involves King K. Rool, the primary antagonist of the game, creating a ray called the Blast-O-Matic that is intended to blow up DK Isles, the residence of Donkey Kong and the rest of the Kong family. K. Rool has built a mobile and electronic version of Crocodile Isle, and it gets stopped and the Blast-o-Matic needs to be repaired. To buy time, K. Rool has his henchmen capture Donkey Kong's family members and steal his Golden Bananas (the main collectible of the game) and Donkey Kong is required to go out and find them, initially recieving help from Cranky Kong.<ref>''Donkey Kong 64'' instruction manual</ref>
