Donkey Kong: choose the jungle adventure or the arcade challenge
Start with Donkey Kong Country in the Country group for that adventure series, or choose Classic for the arcade beginnings. Returns and Returns HD are a version choice, not consecutive campaigns.

The groups describe eras and styles; they do not by themselves establish a separate universe for each kind of game.
Overview & recommendation
Donkey Kong's games ask for different kinds of movement. The arcade challenge, Country's platforming and rhythm-based experiments are related through their character, not one compulsory sequence of lessons.
Country provides a focused route through the jungle adventures, while the other groups offer alternative starting experiences. A revisited edition can make an older adventure accessible without becoming another chapter after it.
Choose the play style you want, then follow the named series if you continue. For Country Returns, select an edition rather than planning to repeat the campaign simply because HD appears later.
Arcade roots, Country and other approaches Product families rather than proven separate histories
Classic, Country, Spin-offs and Modern Mainline organize the represented games. The broad placement of titles is useful for browsing, but does not settle every character or narrative relationship.
Classic Era (4 entries)
Donkey Kong's arcade and early-game roots, an alternative playing route to the later jungle adventures.
Country Series (7 entries)
The represented Country-era adventures and related platforming, including Returns and its HD edition alternative.
Spin-offs (3 entries)
Rhythm, puzzle and other experiments outside the core Country route, with individual play and story context.
Modern Mainline (1 entry)
The represented modern standalone mainline adventure outside the Country grouping, not proof of a newly independent fictional universe.
A series you can settle into 15 entries
Country begins with the original Donkey Kong Country. The arcade titles offer another route, not required story preparation before entering that jungle.
