Donkey Kong Country 3 was better than DKC1 and DKC2. It's the best DKC platformer out of the three and is basically a perfected formula of the DKC franchise. The music might have been a little hit or miss, but the tunes still hold up.

Disagree.
Correct.
I would even go as far and say:
DKC3 > DKC1 > DKC2
>Donkey Kong Country 3 was better than DKC1
Ehhhh
>and DKC2.
Hell fricking no
>It's the best DKC platformer out of the three and is basically a perfected formula of the DKC franchise.
Hell no. Again. So many damn gimmick levels and a lot of them were terrible
>The music might have been a little hit or miss, but the tunes still hold up.
>a little
I mean I don’t haaaate it and like some songs but coming off DKC2 does it no favors. The only song from DKC 3 I’d say that’s on par with something from DKC2 is the underwater theme.
Also frick kiddy. Went solo Dixie whenever I could help it. And completely frick that shitty elephant for replacing rambi.
>The only song from DKC 3 I’d say that’s on par with something from DKC2 is the underwater theme.
That's only cause you're comparing it to the underwater theme in DKC2 (which sucks btw).
Nah DKC3’s water theme is genuinely good imo without comparison. Continues the trend of DK underwater themes being great.
If I had to list off the songs I thought were decent I’d say the tree top levels, factory levels(killer instinct vibes), final boss theme has that rare feel that makes me nostalgic, canyon levels mainly for the mining melancholy remix, the Christmas variant of the bonus stage theme, the inside the castle walls remix……think that’s it.
Hell no. The boss battles were shit and Kiddy Kong sucked balls.
DK3 has too many unfun gimmick levels and auto scrollers. 1 doesn't overstay its welcome that 3 does.
2>1>3
3's not a terrible game. But it was pretty weak in the series.
>DK3 has too many unfun gimmick levels
DK2 had its fair share of those too
Did 2 have an underwater level where your controls are reversed tho?
>it's bad cause I suck at reverse controls
Just admit its a skill issue
Some ideas just aren't good dude.
By your logic, a level where you don't want to have to eat your own shit is a "skill issue"
>I suck at reverse controls
cope
Git gud
Seriously
Dude that was fun.
They are all pretty close to me, I like the atmosphere in one the best but it lacks the polish of the sequels, besides that Stilt Village song I liked Eveline's music in both one and three.
I had no issue with that one, in my mind pressing backwards on the dpad was just me turning on their propeller and suddenly it was as easy as if the controls were normal.
I'll take any DKC3 gimmick over slow moving lava balloons or those slow track levels in the first game, they aren't hard, just boring.
...yeah they kinda are.
None involved an elephant being afraid of rats
None involved that wonky rocket barrel
None involved fricking rng lightning strikes
Didn’t mind the reverse controls, low gravity, snowball boss fight
Most of DKC2 gimmick levels weren’t overly annoying to play. Main gameplay wise. Lost world stuff though could be a genuine pain, but still feel fair. Somewhat.
>None involved an elephant being afraid of rats
>None involved that wonky rocket barrel

>Didn’t mind the reverse controls, low gravity, snowball boss fight
All of those were kino.
Meanwhile, in DKC2, you have a parrot that only knows how to go down as a level gimmick
If we’re playing that card there’s a vurning rope level that only goes up. Not that I hated either stage.
>elephant being afraid of rats
Basically just a different take on a minecart level
>rocket barrel
Valid that stage sucked shit
>lightning
Filtered. The lighting strikes are clearly telegraphed.
>Basically just a different take on a minecart level
but I never hate mine cart levels. I don’t get the comparison. I hate Ellie so much.
I’ll offer a more uncommon complaint. The new enemy designs were fugly.
Bro if you wanted a DKC thread you didn't have to start with a shitpost. All DKC games are incredibly well done platformers, each with their own strengths and weaknesses.
DKC generally had strong but basic level design.
DKC2 great level designs that varied between horizontal and vertical movement but suffered from some annoying partner levels and a character that trivialize the traversing of said levels.
DKC3 Had the most unique level design where levels were built to be traversed by the kongs in game(i.e. Kiddie being able to roll on water, Dixie's glide) but is marred by an increased amount of pet levels and autoscrollers.
All are great in their own ways, and each has elements that prevent them from being perfect.
That being said DKC2 is my favorite due to it being a nice middle ground between 1 and 3.
BAAAAASED
2 is my least favorite, it makes me think only parroting homosexuals who didn't even play all 3 love it
2 is overhyped for sure. Even back in the 90s, I thought DKC3 was a good sequel to the series. DKC2 never got this overrated until the parroting started
>rpg bears
>Kiddie is kawaii and funny monky and Dixie can fly
>boats
>swanky's sideshow (2 had a gay ass boring quiz)
>collecting the bonus coins and banana birds
>don't have to pay to save like 2
>a bunch of different map areas where 2 pretty much just like a jungle, lava, and gay pirate shit and that's it
>good bosses that were unique and aren't just hitting them 3 times which was fricking boring moron shit
>best secrets
>3 had the most content and variety
3 IS THE BEST ONE EASILY. 2 IS THE WORST. PERIOD. NO TROLL. IF YOU THINK 2 IS THE BEST ONE YOU ARE LITERALLY A FRICKING WRONG homosexual moron WHO DIDN'T PLAY ANY OF THE FRICKING GAMES NOT EVEN 2. EVEN 1 IS BETTER THAN 2 BY A LOOOOOOT!!!!
Agree.
I replayed both recently and DKC2 is still better. Not having an aditional world once you get the helicopter was a travesty, granted the gba version fixed it.
>gba
We do not talk about kerosene or whatever. Nor his randomly erect nipples
Most obscure vidya figurine?

Pirate shit was gay, evil scientist K. Rool is the best K. Rool.
>black woman on cover
It was woke sjwshit.
Elephant mount is stupid and Kiddy feels worse to control than DK. Kiddy is literally unplayable.
And dixie was bad enough in 2. To remove diddy in 3 is just pain.
Diddy is just OP.
DKC2 is by far the best. DKC3 seems dumbed down and I didn't like special-needs-kong. DKC1 is also good though.
All 3 are different enough that I don't even feel like they're comparable. I enjoy them all for what they are.
What's the point of being a contrarian? I genuinely want to know.
It makes me feel special to have an opinion nobody else has.
It's called I beat all the games and 3 > 1 > 2
