I do enjoy this game, but it also plays like it is not meant to be its final released version. There are some aspects of it that would have been significantly better if there was more polish, for example, the gameplay itself. The fact that you cannot move the camera during fights was definitely a bit annoying. The gameplay also does not feel like it is at its full potential in general. It's not really as "rhythm game"-esque as it seems like it would be at first.

However, I am not really displeased with any of this because I still have a fondness for it. The characters are likeable. The game also has a humor about itself. It's not taking itself too seriously, it's just a game with a simple story, fun characters, and good music. I think it is clear to me that even with the game's flaws, there were a lot of good ideas put into it that makes me still find the game very charming.

I especially liked the boss fights. Each boss fight was unique and the ideas put into them were very cool. The DK West boss battle is also pretty fun. The ending was sweet. I don't care if the plot is predictable because it really never felt like it was trying to be something you have never seen before plot wise. Overall, it is a charming game that I enjoyed that I can see myself replaying, although the gameplay was slightly lacking from what I think could have been a much more polished game.
