DK: King of Swing for Game Boy Adv

It takes a steady hand to wear the crown in Donkey Kong: King of Swing. It's a big day in the jungle - a new king is going to be named. Only King K. Rool has stolen the special king's medallion.

This platform-puzzler hybrid features stages that play like puzzles brought to life.
