***Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest*** (also called ***Donkey Kong Country 2*** or ***DKC2***) is the second game in the *Donkey Kong Country* series of video games and the second game in the original *Donkey Kong Country* trilogy, overall. It was released for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1995. It is a sequel and direct follow-up to *Donkey Kong Country* and was followed by *Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!* in 1996. This video game was developed and created by Rare, Ltd. and published by Nintendo.

This game was later re-released for the Game Boy Advance in 2004 and for the Wii's Virtual Console in 2007. On November 25, 2012, for reasons unknown, *Donkey Kong Country 2* and the other two original *Donkey Kong Country* games were delisted from the Wii's Virtual Console worldwide except in South Korea, but on October 30, 2014, the games were relisted only in Europe and Australia. Around the same time, the games were released on the Wii U's Virtual Console in Europe and Australia, in Japan on November 26, 2014, and in the United States and Canada on February 26, 2015. For handhelds, *Donkey Kong Country 2* ported exclusively over to the New Nintendo 3DS's Virtual Console in March/April 2016. It was made available for the Nintendo Switch Online on September 23, 2020.

*Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest* is the sixth best-selling Super Nintendo Entertainment System game, with its predecessor being the third. A similar Game Boy game was released a year later, in 1996, *Donkey Kong Land 2*.
