Web Wood is the worst level in this entire game,, bar none. It's got that ugly piss fog, a terrible color palette, boring gameplay, a bonus level whose annoyance far outweighs the clever thinking behind it and worse of all, an uninspired DK coin placement at the very end of the level that only exists for 8 frames (according to AGDQ) and you only get one try at it before having to slog through the entire level again.

I think the hilarious thing about how bad Quawks is as an animal buddy is that he didn't get named until after Donkey Kong Country 3. Both the guide for DKC2 and DKC3 just list him as "Squawks' purple cousin". I mean, I don't get the point of him at all. Was Rare trying out different improvements for Squawks and settled on the one we ultimately got, but then some random asshat just could not let go of Quawks' abilities for some reason and they decided to appease said asshat? I'll give credit to DKC3 for trying to do something more with him, but we'll get there when we do.

Anyhew, I like Web Woods as well. Yes, I agree that it feels way too long and the bonus levels are hidden behind some hot bullshit, but I enjoy it. Gusty Glade, on the other hand, can go choke on a bag of dicks. Mostly because of Rattly and how wonky he is to control with his bouncing for me.

Someone came up with the idea for a Squawks level where he wouldn't be able to truly fly and then they changed it to purple because it would be confusing and unintuitive to make the player have to learn whether or not Squawks can fly each time he's encountered.

Good, now it's almost time for me to vehemently defend DKC3 at every turn.

I think Screech's Sprint might be the only level to actually require that midair roll jump? Don't quote me on that but it definitely tripped me up a lot as a kid, not realizing that mechanic existed. And yeah I love almost every part of that K. Rool fight but the final hit is kinda mean. That dumb magic blunderbuss is amazing tho


I've been playing through all three games and uh you might just have a compatriot

K. Rool is still the cartooniest thing in the entire trilogy, though, so...

And you know what? gently caress that noise.

DKC3 has always been my personal favorite of the original trilogy. Maybe it's because I could actually beat it as a kid, unlike DKC2. Maybe it's a healthy dose of nostalgia, combined with the level gimmicks making them more memorable. It's not wrong to say that DKC2 is better in just about every objective measure, but I know which game I liked better as a kid, and I hope this playthrough means as much to you as it does to me.

Hell yeah.

Cranky Kong is obviously Roshi, not King Kai.

The mountain/canyon level theme is the best and is one of the best pieces of music in the series.
