Personally I don't hate it, I just find it lacking on all fronts when compared to the previous installments. Especially DKC2. The soundtrack is utterly forgettable, Kiddy plays like shit, the art direction feels completely off, the bears get old really fast and it's a bit too collectathony for its own good. Neat overworld, though, and I'll always have a soft spot for Baron K. Roolenstein.

No one would believe that; that's the joke.

Jokes aside though I hope you do realize that there are real shills out there. It's not always something one can categorically dismiss.

And on an another note, it just occurred to me that I have no idea why King K Rool stole all of DK's banana hoard in the original DKC. Like what the fuck does an alligator want with a bunch of bananas? Does anyone know?

I'm with OP, I like 3 best. I love the music and level design, which is absolutely gorgeous. The overworld collecting stuff is an amusing addition, which gives the overworld a whole different value. I think people hate on it because when you replay it it gets annoying as you already know where the caves are and just have to do the simon says part.
Also I love all those "gimmicks", there's literally like one gimmick for every level. I'd played DKC2 before, and I loved the gimmicky levels, since you got to have some new obstacle to overcome. DKC3 had this for like every single level. How can people hate on that? That's fucking awesome! No level is predictable, every level you have to learn something new, and you even get a great learning curve for every new gimmick. And then it starts combining different kinds of gimmicks. Brilliant.

DKC3 is GOAT

Take DKC2, for example. You can hate the soundtrack all you want, but you can't tell me it's mediocre. It's great music that's simply not to your taste.

Nope. They're smooth and precise. Even more than in games like Mario World.

>- It can't be solid because it controls so poorly.
Controls are perfect for precise platforming and speed running. Level design has a good variety of elements, offers a good challenge and makes use of the animal buddies very well.

>- Those characters are so bad, DKC ruined the DK franchise entirely. It was a massive mistake to let Rare have their way with such an important IP, and DK has never recovered from it.
That's funny because they have been generally praised since the first release and have throughout the years appeared in many other non-DKC games.

The vanilla overworld track, Roolenstein's leitmotif and the third one you posted from the rock climbing/mountain stages are the only ones that I could recall without listening to the entire OST.

King K. Rool had a trade agreement with the Kongs, industry was brought to the island in a small, manageable fashion. The Kremlings took the bananas in exchange for the industrial infrastructure.

Well apparently Cranky Kong, former Mayor and Plumber assassin, was annoyed at King K. Rools constant mining expansions, and said the next shipment would be limited.

K. Rool needed the bananas, see, because they were a delicacy and were YUGE sellers at the Kremlings Amusement Park.

So in his rage he sent his soldiers to raid the Hoard in the middle of the night, leaving the Kongs with nothing. Of course, the lazy and generally laid back Donkey Kong was not part of his thought process. D.K loves his bananas. And without them it send him into a diabetes fueled rage.

Stilt Village is weird. Definitely not as moody as the rest of the soundtrack and seems out of place. Wasn't there a rumor years ago about it being adapted from one of David Wise's unfinished DKC2 scores? It would make sense considering it sounds nothing like anything from the rest of the game. The rest all seem fairly balanced and consistent, but don't have the same showtune vibe like DKC2.

There aren't any obviously weak tracks in DKC2 that I remember. The boss themes are probably the worst, but they're still plenty good enough. The rest are all pretty great.

So yeah I like both games a lot, but probably 2 just a bit more.

Yeah, I don't know why they toon-ified it even more. While the original is obviously stylized, it still draws heavily from a real bee and has a naturally menacing look. The other looks like a cartoon. Guess it was the start of the transition to the 3D era Rare style. I don't have a problem with it, but I don't think hyper cartoony meshes quite as well with DKC's darker and more realistic BGs.

Dixie rocks. I grew up with the girl next door back in elementary school. She was literally my first friend and we used to spend endless afternoons together with DKC2's 2P mode. Sit was comfy. She eventually developed boobs and forgot all about me, but it was fun while it lasted.

I can relate to this. Except that she never actually played DKC2 with me (though we talked about it) and she reminded me of Dixie in various ways: the beautiful long blonde ponytail, her vibrant green eyes, her sweet face... even her clothes used to abuse of the color pink and she often chewed gum. She then moved away from our town and I've never seen her again. Life sucks.
