This is a tough and annoying platformer, that happens to be highly enjoyable. The levels are expertly designed, allowing you to zip through them or sometimes play at a methodical pace. A nice touch is all of the levels can be completed without the aid of another Kong.
Donkey Kong’s move set is minimal and the challenge mostly comes from the platforming itself. As tough as the game is, it is fair. The classic vehicle levels adds variety, but the highlights are the “relic” levels. These are unlockable, extended levels with numerous obstacles that will test your skills, patience, and reflexes to the limit. They must be finished in one go or you restart from the beginning, but are immensely satisfying once completed.
This game was slightly too long and will often drive you crazy. But, it is rewarding, has a lot of charm, a nice soundtrack, and challenging platforming that shouldn’t be missed.

Found it harder than DKC Returns but it was also easier to keep a stock of lives in this game. The only big issue I had with this game were the bosses, as they took too long to beat sometimes. The wait times for the cycles to finisher were long as hell sometimes
Did not realise retro hasn't made a game since this. Hopefully its been actively working towards something and nintendo hasn't been wasting the time of one of the most talented studios alive on Switch Remasters
