Certainly a game of all time. Weird to have a platformer on the GBA that only uses the L and R buttons, but go off anyways I guess. The main gimmick of this game is how levels revolve around these floating pegs that rotates DK depending on which hand the peg was grabbed with, and swinging using the momentum from the rotations to clear levels. There are actually a solid amount of interesting ideas they use with this concept, like throwing rocks, twisting valves, and pulling levers, but the general control of everything just feels too slow and unwieldy for much of it to be that much fun. The level design can also be a bit on the punishing side of things, and the boss fights can be frustrating as combat with DK's moveset isn't the most intuitive. I still had fun with this game in a masochistic sense plus it was neat to actually see what this game was all about, but it's def not something I would really recommend.

bonus points for having bubbles from clu clu land as a secret unlockable character though
