The game was very successful, since it sold over 8 million units and spawned a sub-series in the Donkey Kong franchise making several sequels, the Donkey Kong Land trilogy, Donkey Kong Country 2, Donkey Kong Country 3 and Donkey Kong 64. This allowed them to have more detail in animations, for a 16-bit console, which was revolutionary at the time. The graphics were made with expensive Silicon 3D graphic models and compressed into two-dimensional for the SFC/SNES. The game is known for being the first game to use pre-rendered sprites, creating a three-dimensional effect throughout the game. While Rare had made some popular games in the past, such as Battletoads for Famicom/NES, Donkey Kong Country is credited with making them well-known in the industry. The popular game is credited for its successful spin-off debut of Nintendo's very first game antagonist Donkey Kong from a decade before the game's release, as well as starting a new franchise entirely based around new characters and gameplay.
