It was the best platformer I've ever played.

I especially liked the shadow levels and levels where the environment is falling apart. 6-6 was extremely my poo poo. World 3: Bright Savanna in general was my favorite thematically and musically. Grassland Groove's second half fits the gameplay perfectly.

Dixie kong was my favorite assist because she makes it really easy to get extra hang time and height to your jump.

I'm not sure I'm good enough to 100% it though

Namaste and keep gaming

DKC returns is also good but it just doesn't have very memorable levels. all the minecart levels were great but the rocket levels were total rear end and mirror mode was a dumb idea.

After reading what people have said about the final boss I have practically lost all will to play. I was really enjoying Tropical Freeze before that, too. I was getting all the letters and doing the KONG levels, which owned.

I thought the final boss of DKCR was impossible, and yet I beat him. Keep your will strong, and you'll defeat any challenge the game throws at you.

the game is really, really good. the final boss isn't abominable but it's a drag, he does a string of attacks that take a long time to complete before he lets you hit him, it's very easy to gently caress up during the vulnerable stage and then he repeats the exact same attacks over and over again.

as he gets hurt, he just adds more to the pile of attacks and you're sitting there dodging the same poo poo over and over.

assuming you are talking about the world 6 boss, I beat him in 6 lives. honestly I think I had more trouble with the water world boss. he was a bit disappointing in that his moveset is very samey, but yeah boss battles are consistently blah in the game.

at least you can unlock a bonus world after beating him

the water levels are just terrible

rayman origin's swimming levels are good because you can turn on a dime and they were designed with speed in mind, the underwater sections are relatively effortless

in DK freeze you have a loving oxygen meter for no reason

I think the original DKCR is one of the greatest platformers ever designed, with the only real negative being the shake controls. Then Tropical Freeze got rid of shaking but re-introduced swimming. gently caress swimming.

Also don't even gently caress with the co-op in either. The levels were designed for one monkey to bounce through, not two.

i ended up dismissing every DK game that came out between Rare being bought out by Microsoft and the release of DKC Returns because it like that nintendo had no idea what to do with the franchise

Is it closer to SMB or DKC, OP. I find DKC kind of... slow paced I guess, or it's just not as graceful perhaps.

I thought, all things considered, the swimming levels were pretty good as far as swimming levels go \:shobon:/

Although yeah, basically the marathon of them in one world was kind of bad
