>worst music
>some uglier stages
>No DK or Diddy
>a lot of gimmicky stages
Still a 5/5 like other 2 though.
it's not that it's necessarily worse, but that DKC and DKC2 are so great. only worse by comparison, but as said, still a fantastic game
Does have some great songs but DKC 1 and 2 set the bar in terms of music. However stages are way more consistent and varied in DK3 along with better overall bosses. People just can't stop sucking DK2s wiener cause some youtuber lists it as the best in the DK series when really it starts falling apart around the bee level going forward. Play a drinking game how many times DK2 throws a Plankon, Spiny combo at you, It's starts getting real lazy on how to challenge the player towards the second half.
>BUT YOUTUBER
Youtubers have come up defending DKC3 more recently.
Musician diff
World theme just isn't as interesting as pirates.
It's my favorite
IT'S GOOD BUT NO AS GOOD
It just baffles me that they made Kiddy instead of just using DK.
they should have done an adult DK JR or something, that would have been cool
Anon, DK is adult DK JR
BUT THATS JUST A THEORY
A GAY THEORY
Modern DK is Cranky's grandson, DK JR is Cranky's son. JR has been missing in action for a while though.
DK mounting on Dixie would look weird.
It seemed like a joke that just escalated out of control and no one was brave enough to stop it.
>What if we uh, made one of the main characters... a BIG DUMB BABY LMAO
>YEAH HAHAHA THAT'S GOOD
>Months later
>What the frick have we done
It's because donkey kong carries barrels over his head so they couldn't have donkey and dixie in the same game
The level design felt way more gimmicky and less varied and interesting than the previous ones, in 1 and 2 I can happily stroll through a level quickly, but in 3 a lot of levels feel like a chore to complete
Because Reddit and Resetera say so
KAOS?
the baby has shit mechanics, shit design and every time you have to use it you wish you were diddy but ywnbdk in dkc3
I hate the spider boss
3 had the same plot as 2
Not enough David Wise
Northern Kremisphere had less soul
I remember it startled the frick out of me when the crocodile mouth opened up in the DKC2 Lost World.
I can say only by myself, but I didn't like the music, the general level design is worse than 2 and it doesn't have Rambi.
In compensation, 3 is prettier than 2, and it's probably tied with Yoshi's Island as the most beautiful game on Super Nintendo.
Kiddy is relative. I dislike him because he's technically a Donkey Kong from 1 but worsened and with an annoying voice.
it's better than 1
I am probably not the only person who feels gross/repelled at the sight of over long pantfoot things on a baby monkey being stretched loose and floppy past the feet. Surely that's generally something that human beings instinctively balk at given how many cultures practise a certain mutilation
It's Donkey Kong Country on Canada, and as always on Canada, it's beautiful but unremarkable.
I wonder if the rest of the family looks at Banjo weird for hanging out with a Breegull all the time.
i live in the pacific northwest so i found it EXTRA boring
oh boy its like when i go outside my house, how exciting
after a jungle and then pirates it was just so lame
I live in somalia so i found it EXTRA exciting
clunky slow controls
Too many gimmick stages
the mountain world was fricking sick.
Comparison with Songs, in pretty similar stages
>DKC2: Snowbound World
>DKC3: Frosty Frolics
This should be enough.
>Music is a straight downgrade, Eveline Fischer cleared tried her hardest with it and she had some great tracks with Treetop Tumble, Nuts and Bolts, and Rockface Rumble, the OST as a whole pales in comparison to the near perfection the first two games had thanks to David Wise.
>The game is thematically all over the place. While DKC2 had its clear theme of pirates, DKC3 is torn between a mountain ranch-like aesthetic (Northern Kremisphere's overworld map and all the different country bears), a Frankenstein-esqe cybernetic body horror aesthetic (K. Rool, KAOS, and a number of enemies), and a toddler aesthetic (the intro and Game Over screens, Kiddy Kong as a whole, Rambi getting replaced by the baby elephant) without really choosing to focus in one on, making them all kind of feel half-hearted.
>While 1 and 2 had a nice contrast between the two playable characters (one has quicker movement while the other is a bit more slow and has some extra abilities to make up for it), there's no quick, Diddy Kong equivalent in DKC3 which leaves both player characters feeling too similar to one another in most regards, making Dixie feel like a strict upgrade to Kiddy in almost every regard.
>Frick that shitty ass lightning level.
I'm sure there's more but that's what I can come up with off the top of my head. DKC is one of my favorite franchises of all time so I still think it's like an 7-8/10 game but I think it missed what really wowed people to begin with from the first two games. Makes sense too when you considered it was done by the Rare B-team while most of them were getting ready to work on stuff like Banjo and Goldeneye.
Kiddie Kong + the level suck + the music sucks + you're gay
I hated the fricking setting. It all takes place in some odd hillbilly side place and compared to DK isles or Crocodile isle, it feels out of place
What the frick was up with Crocodile Isle anyway?
I just realized donkey kong country was made by westerners wtf
Rare was on top of the world from 1994 to 2002. The DKC games were even popular in Japan which was unusual for western platformers.
no because i love that game. It's my favorite of the trilogy.
The GBA soundtrack but with SNES quality as an option would be nice cause its basically proto Tropical Freeze due to David Wise
The ice level song and mountain songs on GBA suck dick compared to SNES though sorry david
Kiddy
Different art
Kiddy
No DK or Diddy
Kiddy
Eh music
Kiddy
I liked all 3 equally.
2 > 3 > 1
The first one was the worst one.
