For the most part, I found the remakes soundtrack to be way better than the original. One thing I can criticize the Remake soundtrack for is for a lot of the stage, you'll hear an actual Melody, but then it will change to ambient sounds that play for a minute or so before getting back into a melody. It's kind of weird. Considering how forgettable a lot of the Super Nintendo Donkey Kong Country 3 soundtrack was, I still prefer the GBA version.

Yeah, I love giving the stilt village stage type a bit more attention, and Sunken Spruce is really clever, but it really shows with Koin. In SNES DKC3, Koin is a fun spin on the DK Coin concept, and there are some really fun and interesting ones, but many of them are just very straightforward and could easily have just been free-floating DK Coins. The GBA version gave devs an opportunity to reflect on what worked and what didn't with the concept, approach it with a fresh perspective, and...they do absolutely nothing with it. All of the Pacifica Koins are some of the most boring/straightforward of the bunch.

You know for the longest time I actually didn't know that the Donkey Kong country games were actually we released on gba. I played all three of them on the SNES but of course now I can play all three of them on the switch. I was aware that they released the games on Game boy color or at least the first Donkey Kong country was re-released on there. Looking back at it and don't get me wrong the GBA has a lot of great new games but there were a lot of ports of SNES games. Look at the Super Mario advance series and of course the Legend of Zelda as well with A Link to the past being re-released on GBA and now knowing the Donkey Kong country games were re-released there too. Anyways that's cool that they added that extra world. I know all the nostalgia is for the first dkc, but I find each game to be an improvement over the previous one and I think dkc3 is the best. I did play some Donkey Kong country returns on the Wii but didn't finish the game. Rented it from Blockbuster before it went out of business and now there's only one store in all of existence in Bend Oregon

The idea of music dynamically changing based on whether you were in/out of water was a really cool idea for a 2D platformer and very Rare-like, as the Banjo games and DK64 were pioneers of that kind of thing. But you highlighted the issues with its actual execution. And the game lacks the variants of the Brother Bear theme for when you interact with Blue, and totally spoils the mood by also recycling the Brother Bear theme for certain full completion scenes. Then you have things like Treetop Tumble, which is perfectly serviceable for Springing Spiders and Barrel Shield Bust-Up, but is downright comedically out of place for Ripsaw Rage.
