It sees the character exploring and traversing increasingly deeper layers of the [[Underground World]] in pursuit of [[VoidCo]], a villanous group of primates who have stolen his [[banana]]s.

The game centers thematically on rocks and minerals, introducing a host of sentient rock-like creatures. While some act as enemies, one such creature is friendly and assists DK throughout his journey.
