Bravo to the entire team, this is an absolutely incredible game. The song playing during the end credits is beautiful! As DK is heading back home. This is such a fun game you just smile. Seeing Diddy and Dixie again is wonderful! Having them tell Pauline about how they went on an adventure to save DK is awesome!

I honestly wish we had even more references like that! We did see Lanky Kong in the poster, but… Come on, you gotta show us the other Kongs, man. They even talked about Candy Kong. We didn’t get to see Candy Kong. I want to see Lanky. Oh, man. Dude, it’s still great. It’s still fantastic. Fantastic game.

I do wish that we still got Grant Kirkhope and David Wise back for some of the music. The music that wasn’t originally composed by those two wasn’t the best like all the vocal tracks with Pauline 10 out of 10 any of the remixes or like any of the remixes or covers of the original like composed music by David Wise or Grant Kirkhope incredible well actually I think David Wise is one who did the Donkey Kong music and then Grant Kirkhope did the Banjo but either way incredible incredible.

I wish some more of the music was a part of that but still it was great oh dude I love this game a lot of fun I’m very glad that I decided not to just try and destroy everything in in the stages because I don’t think I would have been able to complete this game if that was the case not because it would take long but because I would just eventually get bored because I spent all my time clearing every single layer as I was playing.

Eventually, I decided to just play the game & not worry about collecting & that was the best decision I made because everything became so much more fun!

I can’t believe KRool is in this. I was hoping he was. I was really hoping he was because I’ll be honest, Void Kong was not it. He was not a good villain so for KRool to show up & show how a real villain is. Awesome!

It’s just a very good game. It’s just so good, man. it I was smiling and that’s really that matters I was enjoying it having a good time! The different transformations were so much fun! I love the fact that we got to like we met a bunch of like elder DJs and that was so funny all the music tracks were so good Like even when I stopped playing the game, I would still hear the transformation music tracks.

Love the game!
