[@jakighcolburnchannel3584]

Azure Plumber I do respect your opinion, but I kinda think that the snes soundtrack was a bit of a step down coming from DKC1 and DKC2. I mean, there are some tracks I really do like but my problem is that most of the tracks literally have a ton of bass, the atmosphere, it fits, but with tracks that have a ton of bass (I think one track is almost entirely bass) it can just sound boring, The GBA version on the other hand imo, has the better soundtrack since the tunes were very unique and pretty wacky, which does fit the cartoonish style of Donkey Kong. And I think this was a change that had to be made because the GBA speaker and sound would literally blow up because it can’t handle bass like that.

This game has a very special place in my heart. I got it when I was a kid and i never could figure out how to beat the waterfall boss bc i didnt know the controls to suck water from the waterfall. I would play this game all the time just to come to a dead end at that boss fight. 7 years later of on/off playing and i miraculously found the solution one day. I beat the waterfall boss and opened up the world and went on to complete my childhood dream. The memories this game gives me gets me every time.

[@ryecallan6095]

Of all the tracks in the GBA version of DKC3, Water World (I believe that's the name of it) is my #1 favorite.

[@jg2722]

@@ryecallan6095 aquatic ambience >>>

[@hxx1si]

And they also did huge mistakes, Bad audio quality (This is GBA's limitations fault so it can be understandable), Bad color palette, the soundtrack, there are tracks that they should've added, like Big Boss Blues (Final Boss theme, The final boss uses the Generic Boss theme) Swanky, Funky, Wrinkly and the Bear brothers are missing. But did you know this? They were going to use the OG and the Redone soundtrack, but they couldn't because of the GBA limitations, I will say this, but it is only my opinion. DKC3 for the SNES is better.

[@junkvideos4527]

Eveline Fischer's original soundtrack fit the game a lot more than this. Her calm and atmospheric music caught the spirit of the game design, but this new soundtrack sticks out too much and doesn't go well with the overall atmosphere.

[@VideoGuy232]

I think Eveline Fischer’s is a little too moody and downtempo, which I imagine is part of the reason the new songs were made more upbeat. I would’ve preferred to see a collaboration of the two, since I think they each do different sections better. Tbh, half the tracks in both versions are pretty forgettable/could’ve used an update. Like the river, aquatic, waterfall, and cave level themes. None of those stand out to me on either the snes or gba game.

[@oscarzxn4067]

I like how they added a rotation effect for the tobogan levels

[@OsoApple]

I will always tell people that this is the definitive version of DKC3. Yes, it’s graphically inferior. Yes, the SNES soundtrack is phenomenal in its own right. Thing is, this port did a lot (imo) to make 3 a stand-out in the series, as opposed to the “underwhelming finale” many seem to regard it as. The newer, catchier, more DK-like soundtrack kicks so much ass. Pacifica is a welcome addition. I kinda like the new minigames. Bla bla bla. I like this game, it’s nice.

[@Mystik459]

In my opinion country 3 Is my favorite ,i had the opportunity to play And complete the snes version ,And now i have the opportunity to buy this version,I would like to know your opinion 🧐,i am still doubtful about The music,since the snes band Is great,althought giving it a try would not be bad,that "desapointing" ending" people who played country 2 say it,but in my opinion this game Is better👌🏼

[@OsoApple]

@@Mystik459 my favorite always fluctuates between 2 & 3 (not counting Tropical Freeze) so I totally get where you’re coming from. I really recommend this version, give the soundtrack a chance, David Wise never disappoints!

[@marcusaloc]

For who to played DK3 on SNES in 90s for the first time, this new version looks like a fan made or a hack rom, even though the OST was made fully by David Wise. The first version has unicity with the trilogy. A definitely master piece.
