To add to the Mirror Mode's difficulty is that Donkey Kong only has one heart, which makes it harder to survive. In Mirror Mode, players can't use inventory items, nor can players use Diddy Kong. It's the first entry in the Donkey Kong Country series since Donkey Kong 64 in 1999, and the first side-scroller since Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble in 1996. The treasure found in that temple is a mirror, which unlocks Mirror Mode. Donkey Kong Country Returns is a 2010 platform game produced by Nintendo and Retro Studios (of Metroid Prime fame). If the Kongs get all the pearls from the eight temples, they'll have access to this temple and its secrets. Afterwards, a Golden Temple will appear on the island.

After going through a tough fight, the Kongs prevail, and they retrieve their Banana Hoard along the way. After traveling through various parts of Donkey Kong Island, Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong soon encounter the leader of the Tiki Tak Tribe, Tiki Tong. Donkey Kong reunites himself with Diddy Kong and the two apes head off to the Tiki Island to recover their precious bananas. Donkey Kong breaks his front door open and immediately sets off for adventure. Donkey Kong stares at the Tiki and kicks him out of his house. Luckily, the Kongs seem immune to the Tikis' mind powers. Under their control, Donkey Kong is robbed of his Banana Hoard. For unknown purposes, the Tikis hypnotize the local wildlife ranging from elephants, giraffes, zebras and squirrels by using their music to bring them every Banana in sight. Some new elements introduced here are collapsing platforms, buttons and switches. As its name states, the levels take place at an ancient ruins. It is infested by the Tiki Tak Tribe and located on Donkey Kong Island. One peaceful day, the volcano of Donkey Kong Island erupts and reawakens the Tiki Tak Tribe from their slumber.
