Playing it new the complaint was they visually changed everything for the worse. DK coins weren't fun to collect anymore. DKC2 felt like it had more stakes and while the overworld was nice the world and level theming were much more generic feeling. Kiddy Kong was lame but that had nothing to do with it being a bad game.

It's been a while since I played it, but I remember enjoying its art direction. Everything looked so vivid and colorful, without leaving aside that touch of darkness that characterized these games. Also, I don't mind Kiddy Kong. Donkey Kong is obviously cooler,but Kiddy was fine too. Also, seeing this >>10181387 for the first time was funny.
Funnily enough, I don't like the art direction of the new games. It's too bright and colorful. I imagine it was a limitation of the technology, but I miss the black shadows that characterized the first three games.

Well, Diddy was supposed to be DK Jr. before Nintendo told Rare to make him a new character.
I honestly think the original idea of the DKC trilogy was to show the lineage of the Donkey Kong family through the years. DKC starred the new generation of DK. DKC2 starred young lovers. Kiddy in DKC3 was probably supposed to be a result of Diddy and Dixie's "victory celebration" after the last game, making him the new DK Jr. analog, but Nintendo probably told Rare "no just turn Dixie into a babysitter she shouldn't be a mom." That's why the manual almost makes it sound like they were living together.
I'm very confident in this theory, has anyone asked the Rare guys what the idea was with Kiddy?

Dixie was portrayed as a child in 2's animations and there's an elementary school theme. I seriously doubt they had her monkey womb in mind considering the nigga is twice her size with him saying the project was rushed, has nothing to say on kiddy except his size and that he might be inspired by some baby comedian, and goes on about how ideas would be instantly approved, they were flying by the seat of their pants, etc.

Kiddy isn't even the same ape race as Kiddy. He's like a baby orangutan while Dixie and Diddy are chimpanzes.

And considering all his gameplay abilities are based on his size and strength, if it ever was any different, it would have been during the initial concept phase of the game before anything was actually developped and when tons of different ideas are thrown around.
