When you said senator Kong I just got a great idea of Donkey Kong fighting Senator Armstrong from MGSR

[@_G.C]

Senator Armskong or Kongstrong

[@namelessone5022]

A remake, please. This game deserves a series. It's sad it sold poorly on the GC. The fun, the originality, the immense pleasure of moving DK around, platforming and doing tricks to get max combos, all with the Bongos. I agree the Bongos makes this game even more special. I also agree about boss fights, the Kongs are by far the best fights in all DK games I've played so far. Maybe it will come as a shock to some, but it's possible my favorite DK game is Jungle Beat (I played all DKC on SNES but not Returns or Tropical Freeze yet). In any case, thanks for talking about this game. It is so under-appreciated. I don't care the game was short, the pleasure was immeasurable and I want more games like those. The only issue I had is lack of challenging contents. Part of the problem however was because I was too good at the game. At some point I could achieve a run with no damage in all stages, bosses, beating the entire game with all Platinum badges in just 2h.

[@mickmast8901]

Yes such an underappreciated game. Truly a hidden gem

[@pwojo9776]

I fucking knew it. When you teased us the other day with that post, everyone thought it was DKCRTF with Funky Kong. But, that seemed to obvious. I fucking knew it, but doubted it because of the bongo controller. This was my favorite game when I was younger, my favorite Donkey Kong Game, and a very underrated Gamecube Game. Congratulations on beating it.

Having the second cam of DK on the bottom left was there to emphasize his expressions and reactions to the environment, such as him putting on his game face when enemies were around. The other feature of this that was less hinted at was that he would show a bit of a happy/excited reaction when a secret was within reach (for the most part being a spot on the ground where bananas would appear after clapping in which DK would preform a groundpound). I’ve deleted my save data to 100% the game several times over and I’ve got to say I’m glad to have seen this in my recommendations, seeing it all these years later has brought back some good memories of my time playing it, thanks for covering it!

[@JesterTheAsura]

I love this game, the first time I played this in my youth my jaw dropped when I beat that first sleeping warthog thing. The action had me HOOKED and that with a controller, I probably would've enjoyed it more if I had the bongos. It was really unlike anything I had experienced.

[@Filsaveol]

I had a really great time watching you on the Mario Maker 2 invitational! Congrats my dude!

[@TheNixedOne]

This game was part of my childhood. This is IMO, one of the most underrated games, and my favorite game on the GameCube. There is so much you can do with just a pair of bongos and a game, it controlled fantastically and the music is a damn bliss. The themes, while yes, can get a tiny bit repetitive, sometimes have really cool concepts, like Banshee Swamp or Clock Tower. Getting large combos in some levels in absolutely rewarding and losing my combo just makes me want to try the whole kingdom again to try and top my high scores. It is ABSOLUTELY satisfying to go over 2000 beats and just squeeze the combos out of the level. The soundtrack is SO DAMN GOOD, that I could listen to it for HOURS in a non-exaggerated way, it's superb fits the levels well. I could go on and on about how this game is a masterpiece... But you forgot TWO MAJOR FLAWS... It's loud as fuck and is probably really hard to play in a time and place where a lot of noise isn't welcomed, I'm surprised you didn't mention that. Another one is that it is HORRIBLE on an emulator, the lag is horrible and the controls that is used for the controller (if you use one for the game) is horrendous. If Nintendo ever needs game to make a sequel out of, this one would be a nice one to pick.
