Donkey Kong Country 2 is an amazing game and probably the best donkey Kong game out there. Every part of the level design feels intricately designed, not a single part of the game feeling unfair despite its hard difficulty. The controls add a good sense of flow to the levels, rarely having times where a slow mechanic can’t be bypassed quickly. The soundtrack is worth a mention as it truly is phenomenal and helps the game feel like a challenging but relaxing time.

Super Metroid, what is there to say about it? The tight controls, large and open map, cleverly hidden secrets, and memorable soundtracks all come together to make this one of the best metroidvanias of all time.
