Sorry this isn't a Sega System thread

Proves why this IS the very best 16 bit SNES platformer and it ain't made by japs.

>>9457523
It's Japanese in spirit

>>9457523
The very best platformer of all time*

>>9457569
Battletoads is better. But DKC is still up there. Easily top 5.

>>9457523
It's not even the best in its own series.

>>9457593
Battle toads isn't purely platformer though. It's like a mix of different things. It can't really be included in the category

>>9457523
Sonic 3 is better

>>9457303
LOL!

Who loves how moody DKC's soundtrack is? It's so spoopy for a game about a gorilla fighting crocodiles over bananas.

>>9457649
People always compare sonic to Mario, but I think DKC is a more apt comparison.

>>9457303
>Gorilla
>His name is Donkey

Wtf did the japs mean by this?

>>9458389
David Wise is awesome

>>9458389
Yea the soundtrack is pretty great.

>>9458405
he dumb

>>9458405
Miyamoto thought "Donkey" was a synonym for "silly" or "goofy" because of people insulting each other in English with "jack-ass" or just "ass"

>>9457303
don fifon

>>9458389
the moodyness is what makes it so great

>go on a trip to Atlantic City with some friends a few years ago
>staying in a hotel near the casino
>spend most of the day getting drunk and high, playing slots and blackjack, then go back to the hotel room at night
>four of us hanging out in the room, take out my laptop and start playing DKC on Snes9x
>my one fat friend starts watching me play
>play up to the first water level, my one friend starts to get tired and falls asleep on his bed. we decide to start starting trash, bottles and cigarette butts on him, seeing how far we can go without waking him up
>cover every inch of his body in a massive pile of filth
>we've had our fun, start to fall asleep, water level music still playing on the laptop, never bothered to turn the game off.
>after about 15m, my fat friend gets off his bed, takes out his phone, puts it up to the head of the guy we stacked trash on and starts playing gay porn at full volume
>turns his flashlight on and makes it strobe, pressing it directly against his closed eyes
>he does this for 10 minutes straight, pounding him with the sound of gays fucking and a strobe light flashing while DKC's water music plays softly in the background
>we have a good laugh and go to sleep
>the guy wakes up in the morning and brushes all the trash off and says he was so drunk that he has no memory of what happened the night before, but that for some reason, it was the best sleep he ever had
whenever i see DKC it makes me think about that night. good game.

The visuals in DKC are awful. Here everything is dark, dirty, and brown. It makes it hard to see your character or figure out which monkey you're even controlling.

>>9457523
2 > 1 > 3

>>9459338
I remember that. Do you think the guy is still around? If he's a troll, then he's good.

>>9457303
Is DK down with the sickness?

Sorry to ruin the mood by mentioning a bad game in here, but I'm wondering how my bros would make DK64 to be good.

>>9459395
make it a crash bandicoot clone

>>9459370

>>9457303
lol op

>>9457523
You are correct that the best 16 bit platformer oddly wasnt Japanese, but it isn't DKC either

>>9460012
>heh, it was a troll all along, I'm definitely not a 60 IQ ape that got btfo'd when I made that thread

>>9460052
Sorry, wrong

>>9460012
Never give up on your dreams. One day, you'll tell the monkeys apart.

what did he mean by this?

>>9457649
Sonic 3 isn't on Nintendo.

>>9462236
It's a new universe every time they remake the DKC series. Cranky is simply Donkey Kong from the past iterations, forever doomed to repeat the events of DKC 1 and missing the next two.

You'd be Cranky, too.

>>9459278
I understand Fun With the Boys, but what the fuck.

Is this a Disturbed thread
