I noticed tonight that I'd just never played this one, and couldn't decide what I wanted to do. "It's a big blemish on my gamer card!" I thought, and got to it in about an hour and a half. Well... Carried by aesthetics? Very much a platformer of its time otherwise, I didn't really think it was all that. Lots of blind jumps you just have to remember that are there or enemies placed that will immediately walk into you as soon as they load. Likely a limitation of screen real estate on the hardware with sprites the way they are in this game. I always heard that Diddy feels better to play as in this game but I don't get that honestly, DK feels far easier to use. There's not any extra movement abilities he misses out on or anything, he's just bigger. I get how this could leave a huge impact on someone that had never played better before, but sadly I've played other games.
