Donkey Kong Country 3 | The Completionist

[@ThatOneVideoGamer]

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

[@dirediredocs]

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.

[@petarvrdoljak3956]

Fnaf 6 episode??????

[@dreddbolt]

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.

[@Caladas]

There is something about the Lockyaws in DKC2, I quite lile those! Amd favorite boss King Zing Sting, easy!

0:10 "But then the franchise took an unexpected turn." 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.

[@emdeda2018]

lone angel That has to be the most painful thing I’ve read

[@jurassicbacon]

How dare you

[@danielbueno8474]

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]

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.

[@ZioBlader]

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]

Absolutely agree! DKC3 has the better bosses designs of the trilogy. I was reading the comments looking for someone who noted that.

[@ix8750]

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.

[@Soft-Shell]

Fair enough, bosses like squirt and bleak didn't seem fully formed tho

[@stanstanstan2597]

But the retro games beat all three. Except for the lack of a K. Rool fight.

[@GrumpyMustard]

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.

[@starscorpia4005]

Complains about the boss design when dkc1 had such stellar designs as: big beaver, big bee, big bird, barrel... I smell nostalgia blindness again.

[@zero1zerolast393]

Or the fun factor. I admit that DK 3 first boss, I don't care to look up his name, is more Orginal than the first game's bosses but does that mean it's fun? No, it does not. But the more fun ones are consider more Orginal

[@DrRank]

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!

[@ld.criminal]

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.

[@skuarf]

I absolutely adore this game and i believe IMHO that it is slightly better than the first DKC despite its shortcomings (not having a proper indentity compared to 1 & 2 and being sometimes overly ambitious with its content and "sidequests", also the OST is not quite as strong overall). DKC 2 is still the best in every way.

[@usaskjock]

And you would be wrong. DKC 1 is better

[@StewNWT]

agreed. It's the soundtrack that really lets the game down. Jirard is WAY too kind here in this review on the soundtrack. Evelyn can't compare with Wise

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.

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.

@Parzival8910 Once he does that episode, he better use the true ending scene for the thumbnail.

[@BigHead2615]

But another thing I will say, this is one of my favorite video games on the SNES. For me with the trilogy, it's DKC 2 > DKC 3 > DKC 1, and I have a LOT of love and nostalgia with the first one, so that should say something.

[@angelmares8601]

To me this was the best one

[@David-dz1cb]

I unironically love the first stage's music- its so calming, bouncy, and just suits the boardwalk so utterly perfectly. And I don't hate Kiddy either, never really understood why everyone does; sure he looks a bit silly, but gameplay wise he's no different to DK, and I love the added throw maneuvers you can do. DKC3 has my favorite music and world map in the series too :) It's like the Pacific Northwest but even better.

[@usaskjock]

DKC3’s soundtrack is your favourite?!?? How many times were you dropped on your head as a child?

[@skc4188]

@@usaskjock Dude, just stop. You clearly have an axe to grind against the game. But replying negatively to nearly every person who does like the game is obnoxious. Did the game kill your cat or something?

It's REALLY great to see people appreciate DKC3 more and more. Although I prefer it over DKC2, but I still LOVE it either way. It's not only become my favorite in the trilogy but my new all-time favorite game, it oddly feels like the sequel to Super Mario World I always wanted.

[@julianoferreiradelima]

This is actually my favourite DKC game =) It's so beautiful and really really fun to play.

Adult elephents can be controlled by a rope connected to nothing because they cant get passed the rope connected to a pole . im sure a baby gorilla can be controlled.

Are you kidding? The bosses in dkc 3 are the best! And Wrinkly plays the N64 btw ;).

"But not every game has to be a revolution, they can just be evolutions" If you got a writer you need to pay him extra for that or if you do that on your own you need to reward yourself for that. Go to the place you like a lot and eat, sure it may be expensive but you did good work today. C'mon! You know you miss that colorful atmosphere. You earned it!

[@Athomass]

I love Kiddie Kong!! DKC3 was always my favourite of the series.. I know I am in the minority for that though!

[@stevenevets2009]

This just edges out dkc2 for me. And thats over the line by millimetres! Got me hyped to play it again!

[@rickyrico80]

Dixies double dong trouble

[@zqvyg5479]

This game is really special to me. I used to play all the snes dkc games with grandma when I was a kid. She passed away last year and I still have her old snes and all these games. So donkey Kong will always be my favorite snes series.

[@BloodPump]

DKC2 is better but DKC3 is fantastic. Woah, the bosses in dkc3 are at least not as crappy as the ones in the first game!
