Donkey Kong country returns does have remixes of a lot of music in this game.

Fun fact: Cranky Kong is canonically a misogynist. In the manual for Donkey Kong Country 3, he basically complains about the fact that the main character of the game is a girl. Kinda fits with his “Everything was better back in my day” attitude.

Is Quagsire there to avoid copyright claims from Nintendo?

You have to check out the rest of the Country games' OST, even if it is in your own and not for the video.

If you decide to check out the sequel’s soundtrack, do the third as well!

A lot of people give credit to David Wise for this soundtrack but Evelyn (Fisher) Novakovic provided the more atmospheric songs like "Northern Hemisphere" and "Life in the Mines "and the jazzy tunes like "Treetop Rock" and "Candy's Love Song". Also the SNES had Audo sampling capabilities in its soundchip that wasn't fully utilized until the mid era of thw SNES' lifetime which is why Mario World soundtrack instruments isnt as good as this. Another OST that makes really good use of the sound capabilities of the SNES sound chip is Super Adventure Island done by Yuzo Koshiro famously known for Shinobi series and Streets of Rage series. You should give it a listen.

British woman horribly mispronounces "Segue", asked to leave the stage

To answer your question the mine cart sections are considered the most difficult sections of the games (note i said games because it's a staple of the series) that requires a lot of reaction timing. Its oddly fun once you get a feel for it and feels rewarding when mastering them.

Now I just need DKC2, everyone talks about Stickerbush but the game is FILLED with bangers.

I honestly feel the GBA version improves Treetop Rock a LOT, tbh

What are your thoughts on the Nintendo Music app?

I'm gonna rep Tropical Freeze as my favorite OST in the franchise, but they're all excellent

If i could recommend a soundtrack. Wario land 4 is really good GBA music. Also great dkc music reaction

I did not expect to enjoy a reaction video to a game soundtrack, but TH-cam recommended it, and I enjoyed it. DK Island Swing is a full song. Once it finishes the quiet half, it loops back to the jungle beat. If you ever play the original Donkey Kong Country, yes, use an infinite lives cheat or save states. Because the game is notoriously stingy with its save points. "If this was Mario, the boss would be done by now." DKC isn't any different. You will never actually hear the full song before you finish off the boss. Though in my experience, that goes for all of the game's songs if you're good at finding bonus rooms. Lately, I've been playing through it without going for bonuses, so that I can hear the songs uninterrupted. There's no reward for 100% completion, anyway. "How did they make this ambient soundtrack on Game Boy Color?" They didn't. Half the soundtrack they ripped from Donkey Kong Land 1 instead. So if you listen to any Game Boy soundtrack, listen to that one. (It's my favorite on the Game Boy, anyway.)

30:43 i just thought her reaction was kinda funny.

2:46 sorry if you looked it up after and im just telling you information you know, but what you are remembering is King K. Rool's final smash and that is a reference to DK64 where if you get a game over K. Rool blows up DK Isle like he does in his final smash. Just thought id mention it just incase you didnt look it up, or who knows maybe you remeber part way through the video, and im the silly one

Did you know that Donky Kong Country is a game?!

Speaking of old video game music sounding high-quality, Sonic CD's OST I think is another one of those. I know you're not much of a Sonic fan, Mayro, but it'd be interesting to see you react to a Sonic OST if this were to become a long series of videos.

I'd love if you listened to the OST from the Mario vs. Donkey Kong series, it has many awesome original songs and remixes and yet so few people know about them :(

I saw you in the comments of Jesse's Auditorium the other day and when I saw this video pop up on my feed, I was wondering if it was inspired by him, lol

Dk final smash is king krools ship from dkc 64

This is the perfect type of video to leave in the background while doing other stuff

I really hope you do this for DKC2! DKC2 is so much better then DKC1 OST (Even though it's amazing). DKC2 has one of my favourite OSTs and I loved this video so I hope to see more of it

12:05 not quite true. The 3DS DK Jungle track uses enemies from DKC Returns. As far as I know they are distinct from the frog on screen here.

2:20 Ok so I’ve heard segue (seg-way) pronounced a lot of different ways but sooj is a new one

1:46 yeah I’m always amazed at how the DKC music sounds so full and vibrant when SNES era music usually doesn’t hold up as well without remixes and stuff.

DKC is basically 2d crash bandicoot, they have quite a few similarities when you sit down and think about it. The mine kart sections are basically like the boulder chase sections in crash, only you have less reaction time in the mine karts (because you can’t stop moving)

I’m always down for some david wise appreciation, he’s a master of epic ambience. Doesn’t make new music too often (more people need to hire him) but he’s always got some kind of epic ambience in there

Thank David Wise for this OST

I love this soundtrack nwn

Jesse's Auditorium mentioned (peak)

Yeah DKC's soundtrack is really good, even the GBA version as well which is saying something because i grew up with that version over GBC version & especially the original SNES version which i have played more. Similar to Super Mario 64 DS i played before i did the original N64 version. DK Island Swing is probably one of the more well known tracks in this game, it's used in a lot of non DK games particular in Smash Bros.

If you listen to dkc2 you will love it even more

Your going to love it the OST is one of my favorites of all time

Thank you for playing it (: Originally there was custom music in every level but I removed it because of Nintendo That's why the toad house music played in the ghost level there was originally the moon music from the newer team Here is how you get the First Star coin in 1-A (and you can hear the custom music): th-cam.com/video/FCampPmvsNQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=CI5B4_20sDqLPrrz

i'm not surprised that there's a trans character here. i mean, the whole game is already filled with puns relating to electrical stuff anyways, why WOULDN'T we have gender changers in here too?

Personally I never got tired of the dancing sections, just because the tune reminds me a lot of Clickbait from Splatoon 3 😅

38:10 he didn’t do it for me at ALL. Luck of the draw I guess. And this 57:13 is when I realised just how absolutely terrible this was- like, this series? It’s *never* gone to this kinda length before, right? The only point in any game that ya _could_ consider even close to it is when a few of the npc’s of dream team have new dialogue freaking out a lil when the flying castle appears and blows some islets up. Nothing about the tone or anything changes and that’s the only action they take with the castle for the rest of the game. THIS is just… on a whole other level, that I wouldn’t be too surprised by in a paper mario adventure, but not in this series up to this point. But ofc, lights can shine brighter the darker it is, so obviously the bits that come next after this resonate so well because of it, the one just before re-entry especially.

25:02 How did i not realise that until now? It makes so much sense

Omg they even added the tanukky suit!!!

Maybe for the star coin in 1-A you have to start from the checkpoint with a leaf in your inventory?

If only there *was* a New Super Mario Bros game for the 3DS like New Super Mario Bros 2...wait, the 2nd New Super Mario Bros game was for the Wii, what am I talking about?

Zokket should have had his own boss theme fr. I understand a lot of the others that didn't, but Zokket specifically was especially a missed opportunity. Didn't make one myself for no reason, needless to say. XP

I'm recreating the entire NSMBU in NSMBW just for fun. You should play it. I've made 1-Tower and 1-3 so far and they are on gamebanana

34:42 Considering her mixed feelings on the reused attacks especially, I’ve been waiting so hard to see her finally get a loada this one. I’m just gonna say; This. May well be my single FAVOURITE bros attack in the whole series, just for its cool factor. It’s SUCH a damn good idea, and more importantly; _Every_ time I used it, when they do the running around thing? I would always yell the same thing. CHAOS CONTROOOOL!! Cus like come on, that’s literally what it is! It is just. THE coolest thing to do in the whole game, stopping time to just attack around again and again. Obviously the timing of certain events makes it more hype to say that every time than it would be at other times, but you bet I made sure the last attack I did in the last fight was this one, and said it harder than ever at the very end, one last time… Chaos, CONTROL! (if ya couldn’t tell, yah I still just can’t get over it that they really actually went and did this 😁)

now i'm imagining a nightmare smb 2, i want it

i havent played the game in a month or done anything with it but checking the reclusa getting born reminds me of how awesome this game is lol also fun fact: if you chose Adaphne instead of Technikki... well, instead of Adaphne saving you, it's IDLE saving you. it's way more awesome. (nothing else changes after Reclusa shows up)

This is a hack that exists

1:30 very true
