Not bad for a port.
Most emulators have somewhere an gba graphic fix option which gakes the saturation out. Still does not look as nice as the snes ports but a lot better
At first i thought this is way to hard with all the speedrun cheevos for funkys flight and diddys dash.
And I say that with most other donkey kong country sets mastered.
In the end after sleeping about some cheevos they could all be done and were sometimes fun.
This also made me realize i could never beat some levels without die before.
What i cannot agree on some is the points. Some levels on diddys dash took hours and easy 100 retrys to finally beat. There should be some consideration to raise points to 25.
Same for funky flight. They could be easy 10 for some of them.
The most horrible in the end is the bag a bug one. Feels like playing the lottery.
Overall fun set. Can recommend but if you can start with the easier snes one first.
PS: Would be great if some more cheevos can be added like getting all kong letters per world or beating the game in hard mode withour continue barrels.
This would enrich the set more.
Diddys Dash speedruns were very difficult, which i really enjoyed. Of course i had frustration here and there. The hardest levels were from the lost world, "Klobber Karnage" was very brutal!
Funkys Flights was OK too. At first, it was difficult to fly, i hit walls everywhere. Its actually easy, you just have to be careful when flying and use the controller sensitively.
Everything else in the main game mini games was fine. I expected the worst and it was not so ;)
Because DKC 1 Candys Dances was the worst i have ever done!!!
At Bag a Bug i was lucky after 20 minutes, this mini game is just bad.
DKC 3 GBA is all thats missing, then i will have mastered all SNES and GBA Countrys.
Thanks for the set โฅ
It's one thing for a GBA port to be inferior in a lot of ways, but my god is this (relatively) bad.
Like, I really wanted to like it. The music is mostly good, the additional stuff is great, the mini-games... are inoffensive.
But then you have the gameplay.
I know this might sound like "old good, new bad" but it's just all sorts of different, and rarely in a good way.
Rattly's movement and grabbing on hanging stuff (Mostly noticeable in Chain-Link Chamber) are good improvements.
But then you have the plethora of issues hanging over all that.
Rambi is uncontrollable, and some sections don't work properly now, at least not without finagling.
Squitter lost a lot of his jump for some reason.
Enguarde can't handle the surface. I won't even elaborate.
Barrels are a complete crapshoot, pun intended. How far they shoot you is different, some of them shoot prematurely, the list goes on and on. This leads you to not make shots the way you're intended to, nor how you want. Somewhat miraculously it still works out, but it FEELS bad.
Fiery Furnace is the best example. The SNES version has an achievement to collect every banana in the level. I'm not sure if it's even POSSIBLE to do this.
There's one section somewhere with a Dixie barrel that you'd use to get a coin or something. Uh, you just get it now. By doing nothing.
The Kong movement is mostly fine, but either as a consequence of the screen crunch or them having more height, there's several places that work differently. Notably the Arctic Abyss jump at the start is really easy, and there's multiple instances where you're supposed to use team-up to reach a thing. No need for that.
Water rising and lowering is also weirdly broken in places. In Lava Lagoon, it raises too early to let you get to the Warp Barrel the normal way. In Clapper's Cavern, as well as Slime Climb, there's sections where it raises way too fast.
I could probably go on, but thank the lord we have 2k character limits.
