How to play Donkey Kong Coconut Crackers on Mac
Game summary
Donkey Kong Coconut Crackers is a canceled puzzle game for the Game Boy Advance and a Donkey Kong spinoff title. The game was developed by Rare Ltd., and was originally planned for a November 2001 release date. It was likely postponed ahead of time due to the forthcoming acquisition from Microsoft in 2002. However, the game was eventually converted into It's Mr. Pants, released in late 2004.
Some of the planned modes included various challenges around Donkey Kong Island, challenges from Cranky Kong, and a multiplayer mode.
Play Donkey Kong Coconut Crackers on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Donkey Kong Coconut Crackers on a Mac is through Parallels, which allows you to virtualize a Windows machine on Macs. The setup is very easy and it works for Apple Silicon Macs as well as for older Intel-based Macs.
Parallels supports the latest version of DirectX and OpenGL, allowing you to play the latest PC games on any Mac. The latest version of DirectX is up to 20% faster.
Our favorite feature of Parallels Desktop is that when you turn off your virtual machine, all the unused disk space gets returned to your main OS, thus minimizing resource waste (which used to be a problem with virtualization).
