Donkey Kong Coconut Crackers is a new puzzle game exclusively for the Game Boy Advance. Take control of Donkey Kong’s coconuts as he drops them onto the playing field from above. Once the coconuts hit the ground, they break open and fill the squares with colored paint. The game’s objective is to form rectangles and squares with paint of the same color to score points. You’ll have to be on the look out for a Kremling who occasionally stomps all over the game board, shrinking it. However, if you create enough shapes from the paint, you’ll get help from DK’s jungle friends.

DK Coconut Crackers will feature various modes of game play, including an adventure across Kong Island, boss battles with minions of the cruel Kremling Empire and even challenges issued by that crotchety old ape, Cranky Kong.

Donkey Kong Coconut Crackers will also feature a 1-4 player mode with the GBA link cable, enabling you to go head to head with your friends.

North American GBA owners can expect to play Donkey Kong Coconut Crackers in November. No word when it will be released in Japan.
