  • I have to admit something. I never played Donkey Kong Country 3 when it came out. I ignored it. I didn't see the familiar faces of the Kongs I knew and it kept me from trying the game. But now see what I think in my Donkey Kong Country 3 review!

    I never played Donkey Kong Country 3. I skipped it entirely as did most people when the familiar characters of Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong were not playable in this game. Instead we had Dixie Kong and Kiddy Kong as our dynamic duo in Donkey Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble. And because of all this, a lot of people missed out on one of the refined games of the franchise (well, one of the most refined now that Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze is out). Visually this game is absolutely gorgeous, and you can clearly see Rareware leave their whimsical mark on it. I love all the character designs besides a few gripes about the bosses, but I never thought I'd get that into this game. I was worried that I wouldn't actually love a Donkey Kong Country game! What would I do with myself?! But after playing it on Super Beard Bros, I've come to really appreciate it. Except for the Kiddy Kong feet thing. What is that? It freaks me out and I'm not gonna drop it!

    Who’s your favorite Donkey Kong Country series’ baddie and who’s your favorite boss?

    • @dirediredocs
      @dirediredocs 6 ปีที่แล้ว +35

      The best boss has to be Kaptain K. Rool from the end of DKC2. The challenge of dodging all of those projectiles he sends your way just gives off a feeling of true mastery of the game. Everytime I fight that boss, I can't help but feel a sense of growth and closure over my journey through the game, which is what any great final boss should do.

      Excluding the end boss (too easy, Kaptain K. Rool is hecking amazing)... Kaboing (as well as his different iterations) and Kudgel from DKC2. I've always had a thing for jumping baddos and boss monsters. Foes that make use of the environment and/or force me to utilize the environment more tend to earn the top spot on my favorite baddo list.

      ikr? In DKC 1, the first boss is the first enemy, only larger. The second boss is the hawk enemy, only larger. The third boss is the bee on it's most standard color, yellow, only larger. The fourth boss is the same as the first boss, only on a different color. The same can be said for the sixth boss. And of course, the most original of them all, boss #5: a giant version of that black bucket who throws other regular enemies at us.

    • @billgateskilledmyuncle23
      @billgateskilledmyuncle23 4 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Honestly DKC1 is too short and easy, but my guess is, the designers knew it would be worlds ahead all other SNES games and wanted to get it out to the public, then used the sequels to build up the challenges.

      When he says "in that," he is claiming the following ability is specifically the reason Kiddy Kong is similar to Donkey Kong.

    Did it really, though? DKC2 has the main character of the previous game dropped in favor of making the previous sidekick the main character, with a new sidekick being added. It makes sense that the same would happen in DKC3.

  • @ZioBlader
    @ZioBlader 6 ปีที่แล้ว +203

    Not sure what makes you think DKC3-bosses have very basic designs, especially compared to 1 and 2. DKC1 had palette-swap-bosses, a giant version of regular bee-enemy, an oil drum... And DKC2's bosses continued the same trend (Krow appears technically twice, and Kudgel is literally a clone of Klubba) even though boss-stages were a little more memorable and imaginative overall. But one of the bosses was... a sword. And another was... yet another bee. DKC3's boss designs were a bit random and sometimes bizarre (although there's a story-explanation for all the mutated enemies, just like DKC2 had a thing for pirate- and ghost-themed enemies/bosses) but at least all of them were unique this time.

    • @DrPepperFields
      @DrPepperFields 5 ปีที่แล้ว +33

    • @ix8750
      @ix8750 5 ปีที่แล้ว +10

      Yeah I agree as well, the boss design was the best in the trilogy because they tried to make them fit the level design aesthetic and also bottom line DKC 3 doesn't have pallette swap bosses.

      I agree, if anything DKC2 Bosses were a downgrade from 1 since almost all of them were just bigger sprites of common enemies or clones. 2 was still my favorite of the series and it's not like the bosses were terrible, but 3 had its uniqueness - like an actual "Boss" to a world, it was definitely an improvement.

      He should actually do that! And maybe he should point out the fact that it wasn't perfect and needed improvement in one particular area that was already fixed in DKC1 and was fixed again in DKC3: saving.
      Now, all three games require you to visit a Save Station to save. Pretty standard practice for platformers of the era. But in DKC2, after using any given Save Station once, Wrinkly charges you 2 Banana Coins to use it again! And she doesn't even remember that you had other Coins to spend after that! It's a scam, I tell ya!

    Shouldn't be judged without giving it a try. I personally didn't want to get deep into at first too, primarily because of Kiddy, and the fact that not Donkey, nor even Diddy, were playable this time around. Back when I got into the trilogy as a kid, I got REALLY attached to Donkey and Diddy, especially Donkey. I didn't get to like DKC2 or DKC3 that much due to the fact that Donkey wasn't playable, and it was even worse when it came to DKC3, but when I tried them out, they surpassed DKC1 in my list, even DKC3 itself. I LOVE this game, nearly as much as DKC2. It's generally not as challenging as DKC2, but still another masterpiece that no DKC fan should miss out.

    Sad to see you have such a Genwunner attitude towards this great game, but still glad you gave it a go and had a blast doing so.
    Personally I loved this game waaaay above its predecessors; I loved those games to bits, and when I recieved this game as a Christmas present as a tiny child, I was blown away. It took everything that I loved about the previous games and roided it up.
    The prettier and slightly cleaner graphics, the adorable protagonists, the vast and varied levels, enemies and bosses.... as I said, every aspect, capitalised on. This is the first I've heard that a different team made it, as it so perfectly fitted with its predecessors.
    Watching this gave me insane nostalgia from my time playing this (on Game Boy, if I recall correctly?), so I'll be on the lookout for a hardcopy, else I'll just grab a rom.
    I completed this game as a dumbass kid, hopefully I can do so as a dumbass adult.
    Last notes, I personally see Kiddy as a sort of 'pug' character; something that looks and acts stupid enough to be adorable. Also, while the Koins weren't hugely inspired, I found them a welcome change from simply another floating coin to collect.

    I think the reason this entry isn't so well known is because it came out in late '96, when Americans were getting a shiny new N64 for Christmas. Here in the UK the 64 wasn't out until March '97, so I got to enjoy DKC3 for Christmas. And it is my absolute favourite 2D platformer ever. Good job on the video!

  • @benjamin_burke
    @benjamin_burke 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    One thing you didn't mention that I absolutely loved about this game: hidden stuff was everywhere. If you ever thought to yourself, "I wonder what's back in this corner," the development team had crammed at least some invisible banana bunches in every level. This incentivized exploration. Even if you didn't find the B Barrel you were looking for, you still got some kind of reward. This is opposed to 1 and 2, where oftentimes you would go to explore some corner or throw your partner up high and you would just reach a dead end.
