North America
The North American design sees DK flying up from the bottom corner, with a determined look on his face. A bunch of foes extend into the jungle backdrop behind, really selling the game’s setting. Of course, the bongos make an appearance down the bottom, too — how could they not?
Europe
The European cover is similar to the North American variant, but way more… yellow. The titular jungle is gone from the background, replaced by a bright yellow that really brings out DK (now complete with a feathered outer glow) and his red-eyed pals.
Japan
The same DK and enemy PNGs reappear in the Japanese design, though the background has swapped once again to a grey-blue, partially obscuring the foes. Everything is moved up a little to account for a large camo cutoff, too. And where are the bongos? That small message at the bottom just doesn’t cut it!
Thank you for voting! We’ll see you next week for another edition of Box Art Brawl!
