The level you claim is the hardest should be a cakewalk for me because of all the precise enemy bouncing a.k.a. my favorite thing to do in DKCR (the only DK game I have) it only sounds like a small, fun challenge fo' 'da bounca!!
+Alex Gärtner i completed donkey kong country tropical feeze faster than donkey kong country returns too but that is because dktf is shorter with less levels
@@sameeknowsitall To each their own. But yeah I think I didn't see something and after I noticed it, it was much easier. Still, I think the level is quite difficult, but everyone's different.
For 100% (getting all shiny gold time trials without taking damage) definitely one of the hardest nintendo games ever. But boy, is it a blast to speedrun those levels.
Agreed! Icicle arsenal and 5-k gave me some trouble on hard mode, but Fredrick was a nightmare to do without being hit once. So hard to get hits in the third phase!
@@pelucheCR7 was definitely tricky although I seem to remember getting through it quicker than some other k levels, it’s quite cycle based so once you’ve been through the level and learnt the patterns it’s not horrendously hard. Imo, none of the k levels in tropical freeze are as hard as 6-K perilous passage from DKCR. That said world 5’s one gave me loads of trouble the first time through.
Nice vid I only found it annoying/irritating that the text color changed every time. Just stay with white or black text next time, it will be much less chaotic
My personal top 10 list: (Big rip for the fact that most of them are hard mode ones) #10: Bopopolis Hard Mode #9: Frozen Frenzy Hard Mode #8: Crazy Clouds Hard Mode #7: Irate Eight Hard Mode #6: Icicle Arsenal Hard Mode #5: Platform Problems Hard Mode (Best kong level) #4: Slippery Spikes Hard Mode #3: Bashmaster Hard Mode #2: Volcano Dome #1: Volcano Dome Hard Mode
The main problem I have with Tropical Freeze and Returns is the sheer amount of trial and error. Almost every situation and level in the original trilogy would at least give you some type of warning, even those shitty levels in DKC3 (like Lightning Lookout). EDIT (April 2021): I no longer agree with this comment. I love Tropical Freeze.
Onestly I found DKC1,2 and returns the games that are the most trial and error... tropical freeze has the most fair difficulty of all DKC games...in DKC3 there are a very few exeptions that are trial and error(Sorry for my bad english i'm italian)
Lol I was just about to comment how wrong you where about the game not giving you warnings. Then I saw you already edited your comment. One time the game really surprised me and fucked me over was really funny though. In returns there is this level where an octopus is trying to kill you throughout the level, we made it into the final barrel and we just had to press A to hit the big barrel, we were waiting to get the timing right to get the DK symbol. But then after some time the octopus just smashed the barrel we were in and it was an instakill. We could have probably seen his attack coming but we were totally focused on the goal. barrel.
People who say Bobopolis was not that hard, must be game gods. I at least died 70 times. Granted I didn’t do it with any help. Once I finally beat it, I was done for the day
I have to admit that almost all levels presented here are insane! They require timing to the core. I honestly died at least 20 or 30 times on each of these levels be fore i got through them.
Not only do i have to disagree with quite a few of these, such as slippy spikes, meltdown mayhem, triple trouble, and especially bopopolis it really isn’t fair to mix hard mode and normal mode, otherwise obviously most levels on the list would be hard mode. Mixing hard mode made most of this list inaccurate in trying to balance out the two modes.
Blurry Flurry without hard mode is easily the hardest level in the whole game in normal mode. The rocket is so hard to control requiring pin point accuracy to get the rocket not to blast of off and instantly kill you. Seriously the creator of the rocket levels a hate with such a passion
Jack Barr-Baxter Dixie isn't the best character though, she just makes a few platforming sections easier because you suck at making the jumps. Cranky lets you jump higher, jump on certain obstacles and take out enemies who are normally damaging to jump on. Plus, she doesn't have Cranky's swag.
Please learn how to use text coloring correctly, I can hardly read most of your commentary because you've got black text over black or dark brown background. You used color sometimes, so I don't understand why you didn't on the hard to read parts 🤷 All good, still a useful video (I just finally bought the game, still on world 1 just looking into the pain I have coming 🤣) I'm just saying - using contrasting font color helps tremendously, and luckily for me I have great vision and it's still very difficult, I can't imagine how difficult it must be for those with less stellar vision or color blindness 🤙❤️
2-K Bopopolis was MIND NUMBINGINGLY difficult, but oh so satisfying when you beat the level. One missed step and you're done. I had to cheat and see how it was to be done on TH-cam. Keystone levels 2, 5, 6 (debateable which was harder. 5 was wrong step - dead but 6 was longer), 1, 4 and 3. Too bad the rest of the game was relatively easy.
Really? Interesting. That surprises me because I think the opposite. Bopopolis was a bouncy breeze, while the rest of the game was a fun and fair challenge that really tested my platforming skills.
@@crinklyonion1410 weird how could you ever think that. Bopopolis is a long level, it literally got no checkpoints, one misstep and you are dead, the floor is gone so you can basically never stand on solid floor and you have to always act quickly. In normal levels, you got multiple checkpoints, the floor is not a void, you can rest when you can, you are not immediately dead once you take damage because you have multiple lives.
Brambles I disagree, I did most of dkcr's temples in under a hour, but bopopolis took me roughly 2 hours, and I'm only on world 2 of tropical freeze so far
2k is the hardest not the bosses the bosses on hard mode r easy ur just to lame to even pass them lol get good at it the ones who think the bosses r hard r a bunch of noobs
I asked someone what the best level to farm coins are and they said Bopopolis LOL. I can't get through the level, much less complete it repeatedly for coins
You cant mix up normal and hard mode together, either make a normal mode, or make a hard mode, not a mix.
Top 10 scariest DK levels 10. High tide ride 9. Frantic fields 8. Boms away 7. FUGU FACE OF 6. Muncher marothon 5. Rosting rails 4. Hot rocket 3. Meltdown mayhem 2. Periles passige 1. IRATE 8
Here I thought Fugu Face Off is considered to be a hard level. Not only it is a boss battle, but an underwater boss battle.
It was easy for me. I thought the final boss was hard though. The final boss fight was really boring and he was hard to hit
Try doing it hard mode
Completing all the “K” levels with DK only is so fucking satisfying. It’s also absolutely infuriating as all hell, but the payoff is worth it.
I can still feel my hands doing the right timing watching this even tho it's a couple of days ago :o
The giant calamari's name is squiddicus
Especially since 2-K does not give you a barrel which means you don't get Dixie unless it's from another level
It’s called go to the boss level grab the barrel and exit out. Takes about 2 mins and you can enter 2-k with Dixie
Oblivion u can go to the shop and add the barrel to your invintory
I agree in number one, but when i played number 3, I found it relatively easy.
The level you claim is the hardest should be a cakewalk for me because of all the precise enemy bouncing a.k.a. my favorite thing to do in DKCR (the only DK game I have) it only sounds like a small, fun challenge fo' 'da bounca!!
I know right this is my favorite level in the game cause I’ve mastered enemy bouncing in returns so it’s super easy and fun.
That’s a good game to have. Literally the only part of the game I don’t like is the final boss.
not gonna lie the only thing that deserves #1 is volcano dome on hard mode
@@paxmax5059 it’s not easy but fun
a very easy level, bopopolis is. At least in my opinion
Top ten easiest levels 10. Harvest hazards 9. Fruity factory 8. Precious pendulums 7. Blurry furry 6. Shipwreck shur 5. Big top bop 4. Zip line shrine 3. Spinning spines 2. Alpine incline 1. Mingron cove
Bro that’s not accurate XD
I’d say Mangrove Cove, Shipwreck Shore and Zip-line Shrine on your list do belong to the top 10 easiest levels
Top ten hardest donkey Kong country tropical freeze levels 10. Frantic fields 9. Trunk twister 8. High tide ride 7. Frosty fruts 6. sawmill thrill 5. slippery spikes 4. Jamin jams 3. frozen frenzy 2. Meltdown mayhem 1. Popopolis
Triple trouble was so easy
Also you don't need to collect the Kong letters again in hard mode.
the hardest thing about this video was trying to read the text that you put into it.
To be honest, I didn't find the game to be especially difficult at any point. Compared to DKC Returns it's complete child's play!
Na man its way harder
+Lapdap Gaming Really man? I just replayed Returns and took way longer, as it was sooo hard

Bopopolis is literally easier than Mangrove Cove.
That’s funny
Bopopolis, platform problems and levitation station are just…
Yep, and Crazy Clouds..
One of the hardest Nintendo games of all time
Harvest Hazards is the hardest level in the entire game.
Harvest Hazards was brutally difficult but Blurry Flurry took me from 99 lives to 12 before I beat it. Absolutely sadistic middle passage.
It’s not that difficult

It’s an octopus, not a calamari
Bopopilis was the easiest out of the Kong temples for me. The hardest level in the game for me was 6-boss hard mode

The 3rd Boss On Hard Mode is A Mad Adventure!

Surprised Hide tide ride isn't here.
To this day. I believe some people still can't beat that level on hard mode
I’m still stuck on Triple Trouble for Hard Mode.
Platform Problems is so easy
People who say Bobopolis was not that hard, must be game gods. I at least died 70 times. Granted I didn’t do it with any help. Once I finally beat it, I was done for the day
That or they are completely full of shit. It is easily the hardest level in the game.

CALAMARI?
Bosses shouldn’t count.
Bosses shouldn’t be counted on this list… they should be their own separate list. Still good video though. 👍
Nah I did bopopolis with only Donkey and it took me 3 hours straight to complete

Only using Dixie? Check.
Slide Show transitions? Check.
Bad spelling? Check.

I can't read a lot of the captions
what's the most deaths you took on one level? anyone can answer this.
Hi msm dude, probably about 30 at Bopopolis, Crazy Clouds and Platform Problems. Those are most definitely the 3 hardest levels
Mine would probably be about 75 on irate 8 hard mode that level beat me to the ground over and over again
2 and 3 are not harder than 4, no way!
Ikr, no shot they are harder
How do you even get pass the first one on this list
Nvm I got it
Bopopolis is definitely not the hardest level in the game, unless you're shit at timing your jumps.
Anti Riku It is really hard though. I spent an hour on it. I did find levels from the 4th Island harder.
Bopopolis is a pain in the ass, but only in time attack mode, on a regular playtrough it's by far one of the easiest K temple stages...
Brambles I disagree, I did most of dkcr's temples in under a hour, but bopopolis took me roughly 2 hours, and I'm only on world 2 of tropical freeze so far
bopopolis is really not that hard. I beat it within 10 tries yesterday on hard mode. The bosses are all pretty hard though.
The bosses are imo really not that hard. I found bopopolis much harder than all of the bosses! Maybe as hard as volcano dome
@@OrangeStaringCat also on hard mode?
Reckless ride hard mode is basically dkc returns rocket barrel rides
Volcano dome is hard imo
Platforrm trouble was easy i dont think its that hard
Hey man are you still active? I need a reply today
I made this game
2-k is the easiest K-level in the game
Bopoboplis is so easy i. Finshed it on my first try
FOREST FOLLY IS HARDEST 💯✅🙌
meltdown mayhem isn't that hard i died like 3 times
Frozen Frenzy is harder
No it was tough. But yeah Frozen Frenzy was waaaay harder. Meltdown mayhem is more of a buildup to the final boss.
Blurry furry is easy
Just irate Eight
11:47 what do you mean to I already beat that level
.
Popopolis is not that hard
And slippy spikes is not hard too
Wait since when do you have to collect kong letters in hard mode?
B-Bum Not true. I got 200% without those.
@@francisthompson3772 yes, but if you collect them all the symbol of the letters turns blue instead of orange
Kinda stupid you list hard mode levels. and bosses. they are built to be hard. Come on, at least try.
How do you unlock hard mode
Step 1: Get all Kong letters
Step 2: Beat all the Key temples
Step 3: Defeat the final boss
Step 4: Beat all levels in World 7
Step 5: Done
