I've loved Donkey Kong Country Returns since I was a kid and I really enjoyed finally playing through the original. The platforming is a lot of fun and the soundtrack is fantastic. The graphics also look great for the time. It is frustrating how the camera struggles to keep up with you and enemies can easily come in from off screen and kill you. The hitboxes are also wonky and the bosses are lame.
30th Anniversary Log / Review
I had a quick play today, I love how fast paced and responsive Donkey Kong Country is, it's meant for a CRT display with blending perfect for the pixelised Silicon Graphics which I'm personally in favour of.
The ice levels are slippery and sorta suck, don't bother with 101%. I probably last beat it when I got a SNES in 2013 and probably another tmie since, this was a childhood mainstay I'd borrow from family friends when they moved onto the PS2. Maybe I'll try out the rest of the series in the coming years?
