![]() The Buzzes in DKC3 serve the exact same purpose. DKC2 introduces reinforced red Zingers that can only be killed with TNT or invincibility. Zingers are lethal on contact and cannot be harmed except by projectile attacks or while under the effect of an invincibility barrel.Their cousins, the Klasps, which are found in both Donkey Kong Country 3 and Donkey Kong Land III also qualify. Black/dark gray Klobbers steal lives away from you on contact. If you're even a second late from jumping, they run right into you and explode. In hindsight, while the graphics are dated now, the series (particularly the first two) are still acclaimed as legitimate platformer classics, once again owing to their still first-rate gameplay, and the appealing cartoon art has helped take the burden off the dated CGI. This ironically became a criticism of the game, saying it wouldn't have been as loved or fun without the graphics-which prompted Rare to develop the Donkey Kong Land series on Game Boy (and later successfully porting the first DKC onto Game Boy Color) which kept the solid gameplay of the consoles intact, in spite of the inevitable downgrade to 8-bit (but still first rate for handheld) graphics. Dancing Bear: While the SNES trilogy has always been loved for its super-fun gameplay, it's obvious that the main draw of the series in its heyday (and the obvious key to its staggering success) was the superb pre-rendered CGI sprites, which were nothing short of jaw-dropping for a SNES game, and all without any add-ons or even a Super FX chip.The GBA ports are much appreciated by critics, while long-time fans seem to criticize each and every change they made from the original.In a similar vein, the DK Rap from Donkey Kong 64 is frequently lambasted by critics for being a cheesy rap song, while fans view it as deliberately cheesy.An interesting case, there are actually a substantial number of professional reviewers who dislike Diddy Kong, whereas among fans he is an extremely popular character.Those who dislike the game do so mainly for the Lighter and Softer treatment (especially compared to DKC2), the absence of fan-favorite characters and the Replacement Scrappies in their stead, and both versions of the soundtrack, with the original featuring little to no input from longtime DKC composer David Wise. Those who like the game find it to be just as fun and enjoyable as its predecessors (though you'd be hard-pressed to find anyone who thinks it's better than DKC2). Contested Sequel: While still generally considered to be a good game, it’s generally agreed that Donkey Kong Country 3 is weaker than the second game, though many consider it better than the first game.Others, however, despise their absence, given how much of an iconic staple they are in the Donkey Kong Country franchise, and consider the Tiki Tong Tribe and the Snowmads to be uninteresting and unsuitable replacements who don't do anything that couldn't have already been done with King K. Some are okay with their absence, arguing that it allows Retro's titles to stand out more from Rare's and that the new villain groups like the Tiki Tong Tribe and the Snowmads do a great job at further expanding upon the Donkey Kong universe and keeping the games fresh. ![]() Rool and the Kremlings in Retro's titles has divided the fandom. Fans either view the original DKC games as classics, or overrated Mario clones.Awesome Music: Enough for its own page.
