Starting in 2007, nostalgic fans were able to relive the original SNES experience through the Wii Virtual Console, and since 2014 on the Wii U.
The GBA version, although it simplifies the graphic and sound aspects, provides some redesigned levels and a multiplayer mode that make it attractive in its own right.
In the case of emulations on Wii and Wii U through the Virtual Console, the experience remains faithful to the original SNES, with the advantage of being able to use classic controls or those of the corresponding console.

History
The adventure begins on Kong Island, where Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong enjoy a quiet day collecting bananas. Suddenly, a group of Kremlings led by the evil KAOS kidnap them and take them to the Northern Kremisphere, a frozen land full of dangers.
Dixie Kong, Diddy's girlfriend, and Kiddy Kong, her little cousin, find out about the kidnapping and decide to embark on a dangerous mission to rescue them. Along their journey, they will traverse lush forests, icy glaciers and smoking volcanoes, facing a horde of enemy Kremlings and solving ingenious puzzles.
Along the way, Dixie and Kiddy meet old friends like Funky Kong, the inventor who provides them with vehicles to get around the Northern Kremisphere, and the adorable Kong animals who offer advice and help.** They also meet new allies, such as the mischievous Parrot and the fast Rambi Rhino, who join them on their adventure.
Using their unique abilities, Dixie and Kiddy overcome each obstacle. Dixie can use her mane to float like a helicopter and perform powerful attacks, while Kiddy can roll on the ground and reach places inaccessible to Dixie. Together, they form an unstoppable team.
After an arduous journey, Dixie and Kiddy finally arrive at KAOS's hideout. There, they face a series of epic battles against the most powerful Kremlings, including KAOS himself in his giant robot. With their bravery and cunning, they manage to defeat all the enemies and rescue Donkey Kong and Diddy.
The heroes return to Kong Island as celebrations. Donkey Kong and Diddy thank Dixie and Kiddy for their heroism, and the entire island is filled with joy. Peace has returned, and the Kongs can once again enjoy the tranquility of their home.
