I have an old Raspberry Pi 1 (!) still going strong with Batocera Linux running NES, SNES and Mega Drive (Genesis) emulators.

I’m looking for easy multiplayer games that can be played with a 5yo. Non violent and ideally co-op, bonus points if somewhat educational.

    first one that comes to mind is Donkey Kong Country.

    Ooh. Good call!

    For OP, I was confused by the multiplayer in Donkey Kong Country (SNES) the first time I played it.

    If I recall correctly, the second controller doesn’t do anything until the first player gets hit, then second controller takes over as the other Kong.

    I think there’s also a button the active player can press to switch out.

      Either A or Select. On DKC 2 and 3, A gets the other monkey on the 1st’s back, so you can throw them at an enemy or on a platform. 2 and 3 also feature a 2 player “competitive” mode, with each player going 1 life or 1 stage
