How is Donkey Kong Country remotely like Sonic?

Only /vr/ oldfags will remember this thread

0/10 awful bait

does sonic have a run button now

>The fact that so many gamers still name Donkey Kong Country as "the greatest or most significant or most influential" video game ever only tells you how far video games still are from becoming a serious art. Video game developers have long recognized that the greatest video games of all times are The Legend of Zelda and Super Mario Bros., which were not the most graphically advanced or acclaimed or best sellers of their times, let alone of all times. I myself rank the highly controversial Super Mario U.S.A. over video games that were highly popular in arcades around Japan. Gamers are still blinded by good graphics. Donkey Kong Country had better graphics than anyone else (not true, by the way), therefore it must have been the greatest. Music enthusiasts grow up listening to a lot of music of the past, film enthusiasts grow up watching a lot of films of the past. Gamers are often totally ignorant of the video games of the past, they barely know gameplay mechanics. No wonder they will think that Donkey Kong Country is anything worthy of being played.
– Shigeru Miyamoto (1995)

Sonic wishes he could move as quick as mine kart Donkey Kong.

When this guy can make games better than hideo Kajima or Yu Suzuki maybe I'll listen to him.

But listing mario 2 as best Mario is kinda based.

>50% of the face buttons make him run
>sonic the hedgehog
>100% of the face buttons make him jump
Explain this.

>>7097737
66.6% of them make him jump. Have you even played it?

>australia kun was the fake miyamoto quote spammer schizo
Why am I not surprised

>>7097716
Rare was only good on the ZX Spectrum, much like how Trashure was only good on the Mega Drive.

>Rare's only good game on Speccy, Jetpac, is also available on N64
OH NO NO NO NO AUSTRALIA-KUN ON SUICIDE WATCH

Despite this being an old meme attempt that never worked, what's ironic and funny is that the drastic art direction change that happened with Sonic 3 was likely because of the DKC impact.
That said, I love both games and I remember how much I enjoyed them back when they came out in 1994.

yawn. Sega is great, but not because of those jews.

I hated Donkey Kong Country long before I ever played it. The box art is plain disgusting. The worst of the worst, in fact. It was so creepy my 18-year-old self was immediately repulsed by it - forever dooming my opinion of this game to negativity.

>>7097716
Not true.

>>7100302
Have you played Sonic on Master System? It's just as good as Mega Drive.

And yet DKC is superior in every way

>>7100369
The thing is that DKC is not trying to be anything Sonic lol, if anything it picked up many elements from SMW.
This is an old troll who has been doing this same thread for years now.

Start pauses the game, it's not the run button.

>Sonic
Poor-man's Super Mario.

>>7097727
Shiggy is a master of his craft but this was just sour grapes. DKC is still a kick-ass platformer and definitely worthy of being played.
