For those of who didn't know, the Kaptain K. Rool fights in DKC2 are the 102% completion secret bosses. The original ones against him have 9 hits and easier to avoid attacks.

[@user-lh5dc5cy1b]

Idk the first bout against him feels harder because you have to endure 6 attack cycles while only having one free hit I don't count the first three bc they simply feel like an introduction to chucking the cannonball to k rool This is not to say the second fight against k rool is easy

[@idislikebaguettes6496]

Remember when Donkey Kong was the enemy in Donkey Kong games? Yeah, me neither.

[@nedwork]

idislikebaguettes Then there’s Mario vs Donkey Kong... Which is a series of apparently dk games and the final bosses are DK

[@Dres2000]

I’m guessing he was an anti hero then his island needed his protection.

[@zash2797]

The original Donkey Kong was actually the one we know today as Cranky Kong ...also Donkey Kong of today was actually Cranky's grandson. Now DKJr on the other hand, while many may believe to be Donkey Kong as a baby when in fact it is actually Donkey Kong's real father aka Cranky's son.

I agree, let the traditional stomp to win stay with Mario, a DK game with Country level desing and Jungle Beat combat system would be the perfect DK game for me.

Before Donkey kong country returns starts... Diddy: Maby you should put your Bananas IN the hoard cave, this time. DK: Ah, they'll be fine. And before you know it, Tiki Tong (I see what you did there Nintendo. REAL clever.) and his gang steal the magic Bananas.

[@madcow1089]

Wizpig: "Well lookie here!" It's the LITTLE WORM!" T.T.: "Listen here you little shit"

[@TKnHappyNess]

So much for Wizpig in the DS version of DKR. Due to the limitations because in the N64, you have things coming at you all over the place, especially in the throne room. Then again, using T.T. is cheap because he's the fastest character in the game

[@Classixish]

still love K.Rool's face when he shoots fish out of his blunderbus. 9:55

[@SnowyFoxlinn]

I see that the devs always liked to use hands for their final bosses... DK 94, Mario vs DK (Which is the same exact fight), and the Tiki Tong fight (Is it Tiki Tong? I cannot remember, I haven't played the game in a long time)

[@RoseSupreme]

I think it can't be denied that DK64's was a very repetitive, severely dragged-out fight. You have to fight K. Rool as *EVERY* Kong by hitting him 4 times each with their gimmicks. Like, Jesus Christ, man.

[@kenbraden7103]

Rose Supreme not every Kong. Only playable Kong’s.

[@damonrichardson1999]

DK games haven't been the same without K. Rool. He and his kremlins are so iconic, especially that big ol Klubba and Krushas and K. Rool's strange alter egos. Unlike Bowser, K. Rool is respected out of fear by his minions because he's a ruthless krazy king.

So, the GBA version of DK Country, on a system that is handheld yet can do more than the Super Nintendo... has somehow worse graphics than the Super Nintendo Version... Huh. Weird.

[@mothius238]

They should have waited and ported the trilogy to the DS instead of GBA

[@Dracomut]

Actually the GBA is a bit weaker than the Super Nintendo

[@gayming3022]

eastwing329 it was actually slightly weaker. The music was a little worse and it was kinda hard to look at while the original had amazing music and was soothing on the eyes.

[@gayming3022]

Fernando Schicovski true

[@MrMarinus18]

Also it's not the same console so even if it's the same power it can't run games that were designed to run on the SNES quite as well. It would need to be considerably more powerful to run them as well as the console that they were designed for.

[@starvoltnexus3139]

How necessary was it to include the GBA ports since they’re basically the same thing as the SNES minus cutscenes

[@Colliefam5416]

This video seems kinda of awsome

[@Jimmyisabot]

is it just me or is the 32:30 audio super weird? Is this just the gba chip limitations or was there some licensing issue over the SFX? (e.g. the grunt, the running sounds etc., basically everything except the music)

[@nicholaslienandjaja1815]

My head canon: After the events of Donkey Kong 64, King K. Rool’s tail got injured so badly, it had to be amputated (which is why nowadays he either has no tail or a very short, stumpy one).

Fun fact: In the Super Mario movie, when DK is defeated, the music from Donkey Kong ‘94 plays

[@coytus94]

Did anybody notice that in the gba versions of donkey Kong country 1 and 3 that they re-used audio from donkey Kong 64 to make the noises for K Rool? Dkc1 they used K Rool's voice from dk64, and dkc3 they used Chunky's falling voice as the voice for when K Rool gets electrocuted, and chunky's swinging arm attack as the voice of K Rool when he gets hit by a barrel. They just altered the pitch of the voice to make it sound different, but after watching a playthrough of Dk64 I recognized it. They thought they were clever lol.
