Kara, this game was one of those games that made my childhood memorable. To hear you bring it back to life on the piano (and you do it so well) makes me wish I was 8 years again, with my Super Nintendo, and DK2's soundtrack. Thank you THANK YOU for posting this! : )

[@JONATHANP1619]

It's crazy how with such limited hardware David Wise created such a masterpiece. You can also feel the impact of all the sound effect that David put in his compositions, like Klomp's Romp is perfectly played here, but without the sounds of the wind and the boat craking it feels like 2 different songs. Thank you for this, for a few minutes here I was back in 1995 .

[@johnrogers9262]

Even though they are 2D plane games, they are extremely immersive and atmospheric and what you describe is a huge part of why.

[@GarielBee]

Often, limitations stimulate creativity.

[@ByrneBaby]

funny enough, the music was made with the same method as the graphics: prerendering. Basically David Wise made the songs on a synth of his choosing, then added ambient sounds to the music itself with the help of a computer, and then compressed it all to fit onto a SNES cartridge. The limitations themselves were more literal than anything else. Not to say they weren't impactful on the music itself, but bro wasn't creating the songs with a synth hooked up to the SNES or anything, just composing elsewhere and shoving it onto the cartridge when he was done. Pretty sure this is how all SNES music was made though, hence why all the iconic Nintendo games have their own unique soundfonts, and also is why Tim Folin is considered a technical genius: for doing so much with so little and still leaving room for more on the table when he was done. Plok's OST uses only 5 of 8 available channels, for example.

[@David3Wise]

@@ByrneBaby No. The SNES was my synth of choosing - written directly to the Snes using my sound-set.. There was never any synth it was pre-made on.

@@David3Wise that's amazing, I get really happy each time this type of information (perfect for trivia!) is confirmed by the actual developers. Thank you so much for your work, your compositions will forever stay as a dear part of my childhood.

[@RisingOctopus]

This video made tears come out of my eyes. I remember saving up my allowance for months to buy this game. I even had a coupon for the game that I cut out of a flyer and slept with the coupon under my pillow. I played the game all the time, and then when I got older my SNES ended up in my grandparents basement. Whenever my cousins and I got together we would all sit around the old tv set in the basement and play Donkey Kong Country 2 together. These are the sounds of my grandparents house, the sounds of my childhood, and the sounds of being together with my family. I love what you have done in this video more than I can ever put to words. Thank you.

Nothing I can conjure up will do you any justice, but I’ll try and speak from the heart. I’ve listened practically every night since you’ve uploaded this resplendent gem. This video was your all-time greatest masterpiece for KZbin. There is no classic video game for the SNES that evokes this degree of nostalgic gaiety and pure bliss of DKC2. And for good reason. The music was the most beautiful ever put to a video game. I still don’t know, almost thirty years later, how David pulled off his tour de force, but it will touch my heart forever. If a night is lonely and cold, your renditions (and more broadly, my reverie of the DKC2 soundtrack in totality) are like being kissed by a sunrise. If you ever meet David in person, he owes you a gigantic hug and you owe him the automatic reciprocation of that hug from yourself and symbolically from all of us. ❤

Enchanted Wood has a place in my heart, but the whole soundtrack of this game was amazing! You did this flawless, amazing!!

[@KaraComparetto]

enchanted wood is my favorite!!

[@johnwebb4499]

I always like watching the master work.

[@KaraComparetto]

see you soon!

[@eigengrau1]

As a musician- it's one thing to hit the notes right, but to get and transport a feeling/vibe that is what seperates the most; Chapeau!

[@KaraComparetto]

thank you

[@m1k3x07]

Wow. Bravo, your intensity and respect to the source material really sold the entire music for me.

[@ravenclawkc]

The organ adds so much to your multitrack! And both pianos are very nice!🥳

[@MappingtheArchetypes]

This is the most homeschooled thing I've ever seen. I bet y'all slay at Catan. I loved jib Jig, and Stickerbush.

[@KaraComparetto]

I never win Catan sadly LOL

[@MappingtheArchetypes]

Neither do I.... 🤣@@KaraComparetto

[@nintendoking138]

What a beautiful rendition of Enchanted Woods. Evokes a "walk down memory lane" feeling with a touch of melancholy. Weighs heavy on the soul a wee bit, but in a good way. Thank you.

本当にありがとう、私の音楽が世界の裏側まで届いていることにとても驚いています!

[@RefugioVillegasIII]

This music was my childhood growing up as a kid in 90's. Thanks for the upload and the nostalgia.

[@KaraComparetto]

Thank you, it was mine too!

[@AlexandreLarabie-b9t]

Probably the greatest soundtrack of the SNES, and perhaps one the best of the 90s for video games, this is perhaps the greatest recreation i've seen. The sound alone puts it in the top, but the video puts it in the top content i've ever watched on KZbin. I love it!

[@KaraComparetto]

Oh my goodness!!!❤😊

[@jesteroffire]

Stickerbush symphony got me misty-eyed, well done!

[@Unk666_]

Isso foi realmente incrível, um show de arte e musica, um muito obrigado e um grande abraço do brasil 🇧🇷 ❤

It’s all great music but yea that one is quite possibly the best video game song ever imo

[@darkcloudoblivion17]

[@MrHorrorJumper]

Oooooohhhh yessss❤❤❤❤🙏🏼🎉🎉🎉

[@0Firebrander]

This was so nice to hear * - * Dixie's outfit is so pretty! Thank you very much for the experience! :D

[@sergiojavier121]

Thank you for reminding me so much of my childhood, the best game in the Donkey Kong Country saga without a doubt. They make an excellent duo, amazing performances. I loved the detail of the sound with the mine level glasses. Greetings from Argentina. Felicitaciones!

[@spennerFX]

The leap across at 18:50 and the Stage Clear had me cracking up 😂 This soundtrack has been stitched in my head ever since childhood. Thank you for this very entertaining performance 🙏🐵

[@DoomIIMaster]

Aquatic Ambience and Stickerbush Symphony are my fav.

[@jeffreyharris788]

props to you for keeping in character while playing. Extremely impressive.

[@reynaldyrogers]

This game was so important to me, that I was already crying at the beginning of the video. Thank you! 🥲
