[@JanusHoW]

I like how they didn't have one style of mine cart ride - they generally had two; one where the minecart itself could jump, and the other had the Kongs jump out of the cart while the cart kept moving. Also, why didn't you include Donkey Kong 64's mine cart sections? I know they don't have "Country" in the name, but they're essentially DKC games.

[@joshuagrahambrown]

Damn, I legitimately forgot what Diddy sounds like in Tropical Freeze because I exclusively use Dixie instead 😂

I've never noticed how the front wheel of the minecart in DKC make this weird noise with smokes.

However i dont agree with the sentiment that they are harder to master, their difficulty is equal to TP last two minecart levels with the exception of roasting rails and also i feel the originals on the SNES especially DKC 3 were harder.
