Donkey Kong Country has long been regarded as one of the best-looking games on the Super Nintendo, and part of that can be attributed to the designs of former Rare artist Kev Bayliss!

In a new YouTube video, Bayliss revealed a number of early sketches for the game, including designs for Donkey Kong, Winky, the Kremlings, and more.

It's a fascinating look back at the design process, and it should be of equal interest to those that played the game when it released in 1994, and those that just discovered it last year when it released on Nintendo Switch.
