tl;dr this fangame is great, and if you're a DKC fan you owe it to yourself to play it. Here's the Internet Archive link for it (uploaded by yours truly), comes in 3 languages and has controller support. https://archive.org/details/dkc-the-trilogy-ver.-2.1

Wow, this was simply amazing and one of the best fangames I've played. Being a Donkey Kong fan, we're very passionate about the franchise, but the most we ever get with fan driven content outside of art are romhacks of the original trilogy (and it's usually DKC2 that gets that attention). Lo and behold, I stumble across this game while looking at some crazy Japanese romhacks for DKC1 & 2. Upon hearing a name I thought it was some elaborate romhack that combined the three games into one, but it was actually a fangame that remixes alot of elements and mechanics of the original trilogy, some elements from Retro's duology, and some new mechanics entirely.
This fangame was a labor of love made by an incredibly small team within the span of 7 years which is insane to think about. It has some tiny quirks here and there as expected, but the feel is really damn close to the original 3 and once you click, you click well. The levels are all designed in challenging yet fair ways, and there's 40 of them! That's crazy! Not only that there's a reward for 100% and I think that was really sweet for them to go out of their way and do.
Some are a bit easier to complete with a certain kong more than the others, but that's the beauty of it. You can still complete any level as whichever kong. This fangame rewards your mastery of the game's levels much like the Country series already did.
If you're a fan of Donkey Kong Country, please check this game out! It definitely deserves more attention for being such a quality fangame which doesn't come often for us at all. Bravo, André Productions, fantastic work.

YOU NEED TO PLAY THIS GAME.
As far as fan games go, this may be the best fan game I've played so far. It is not perfect, but the amount of work put into it makes every problem seem like oddities of an awesome project that is way too good to be true.
