Works also on the 2Ds.

Basically, all 3DS games also work on the 2DS. However, in some games there are places where the use of the 3D effect is advisable. The only example I can think of is some of the cloud levels in Super Mario 3D Land, where you can't really estimate the depth in 2D mode.

I don't know if something like this happens in DKCR, but I think it's unlikely.
