This game is crazy fun.
I'm not creative enough to get much out of the level creation but I love playing through other people's levels.
Sometimes you get trash, sometimes you find gold, but it's always a fun time!

This game really does not hold up. Drifting feels terrible and the controls just feel really janky in general.
Completed it once for the sake of saying I did it and I'm never touching this game again.

It's fun but 8DX replaces it
The only mario kart I find myself coming back to other than 8DX. Double dash still feels unique to play and is super fast paced and chaotic fun!
Going for 100% was super fun and challenging.

Solid game with some fun platforming. Champions road is a fun challenge that is super rewarding to master.
It's solid, and is a super comfy 2D platformer

Nostalgic and fun to complete. Super solid portable mario kart, but I don't find myself coming back to it often.
Extra challenge mode was fun and would be cool to see back in some form!

It's DKCR but with a roll button!
Good way to experience a fun game that fixes the issues that a lot of people tend to have with the controls of the wii original.

Amazing game, please play it!
Improves on everything in DKCR!
Loading times can be a little long on the Wii U, so I'd recommend the switch port over it.

They improved on DKCR in every way. This is the best DKC game since DKC 2!
The level design is better, the music is amazing, more Kongs are back and the bosses are better and don't drag on as much as in DKCR.
Game is still hard while fixing up some of the gimmicks that didn't work as well in DKCR (thank you retro for letting us take more than one hit on the rocket barrel!).
Funky mode is a fun distraction that works well for speedruns, but I lost interest in playing through it casually since it made the game too easy.

DKCR is good! They actually made Donkey Kong fun to play as( although I miss being able to play as the other kongs).
The music is not as catchy or memorable as anything in the original trilogy, but it still fits well with the levels. The game is still super well designed and challenging.
Biggest complaint is the bosses are kind of obnoxious. They're not braindead like in DKC 1, but they drag on for way too long.
The motion controls aren't that bad, but I would prefer being able to hit a button to roll like in the older games.

DKC 3 is great! It's not as good as 2 but it's leagues ahead of 1 since both the characters are fun to play as.
DKC 3 is the hardest of the original trilogy but it's still super fun. Kiddy isn't as fun to play as as Diddy, but the partner mechanic and his ability to bounce on water make him way better to play as than Donkey Kong in the first game (Donkey Kong wishes he could do the things Kiddy can do).
The music is more focus on atmosphere and is not as catchy as the best music in 1 or any of the songs in 2, but it's still good.
Like 2, going for 100% actually has a purpose other than bragging rights and it's fun to play through the extra challenging levels (even if the true ending is underwhelming and more on the goofy side).

This is my favorite game of all time!

If you say this is better than DKC 2 or 3 you are lying to yourself!
DKC is fine, it's a good game with good level design and some catchy music.
My biggest gripe with the game is that Donkey Kong sucks to play as. He's so slow and boring! I always just leave him out front to take hits so I don't lose diddy (who is better in every way). The bosses also suck (except for the final boss).
Going for 100% is fine, but pointless. It's not hard to do (going for 100% on some levels actually makes the game easier since it lets you skip some of the harder barrel sections), but you don't get anything other than some bonus cranky dialogue.
The other DKC games did everything this game did right while improving on everything it did wrong.

Enhanced Edition is probably the best way to experience SH2 (unless you're a collector or you're really set on playing the PS2 original).
The game looks really good (on top of how great the PS2 original still looks) and enhanced edition fixes all the issues with the buggy original PC release.
Don't buy a physical PS2 copy from a scalper when this exists and is just as good!
