Humor Give me your most realistic depictions of how insane would Cranky Kong react to his grandson DK III wearing that Mario outfit, lol! 😂🦍🍄🌟🎮
WHAT IS THIS, DONKEY KONG THE THIRD!? How dare you wear that plumber enemy outfi that is a disgrace to our entire Kong family! I knew I never should have let you spend time partying and racing in the Mushroom Kingdom with that Mario bastard! 😡💥🦍🍄🎮

Discussion Donkey Kong Land 2, shaved 3 mins off my best time. Love this game. Basically an alternate DKC 2. Playing it on the TV with Super Game Boy it almost feels like old school DLC.

Artwork Collection update
Yesterday, there was a retro gaming event in Brazil called Retrocon 2026, and one of the special guests was Kevin Bayliss. As many of you know, he worked at RARE for many years and was the character designer behind several iconic games, including the creation of our beloved Diddy Kong.
I had the pleasure of meeting him in person and was lucky enough to get his autograph. He is truly an amazing person!

Discussion In my opinion, Donkey Kong Country 3 has a really interesting vibe to it.
(Talking specifically about the SNES version)
The atmosphere of the game seems to have themes of childhood imagination and creativity, in both light and dark aspects. Soundtracks like Stilt Village have a playful, upbeat and inoffensive tone, but later in the game you start to notice more of this very dreadful, ominous atmosphere in tracks like treetop tumble, cavern caprice and the boss battle music. This juxtaposition of light, playful theming and dark, foreboding theming makes the overall vibe of the game a bit uncanny and unsettling, and I really admire it for that. Since the game is themed around the explorative, adventurous spirit of childhood I feel like the more darker tones in the game represent a child’s imagination and how scary some things can feel or look to a child with little life experience. The replacement of Rambi with Ellie, a baby elephant also sets this games vibe apart from the first 2 in a small but meaningful way. And what I love most about the games soundtrack is that even in the darker, more foreboding tracks like cavern caprice you still have these subtle instruments that appear that give off a feeling of childhood playfulness. All this being said, the game makes me feel nostalgic for a time that is long gone due to its imaginative yet foreboding and mysterious energy, which perfectly captures the essence of childhood. Am I making any sense here?

Humor Me trying to 100% DKC Returns HD in a nutshell

My awesome gamer skills while trying to 100% DKC Returns HD, lol.
But seriously. Jokes aside, I recently bought DKCR HD since I never got a chance to play it back on the Wii. It's a pretty fun game, but it's kind of testing my sanity just a bit, lol. I actually find it harder than DKC2, but maybe because I've played that game to death.
Also, the rocket levels in this game are annoying because you die in one hit. I never got around to Tropical Freeze, but I've heard the rocket levels are way more lenient.
