But what about the new version with the original SNES sound?

But the again the superior Stickerbrush Symphony is called Bramble Blast and is in Smash.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but personally neither of those two do anything for me.
holy shit, never heard that. Fucking great remix. Even if it was a "joke", it's really well done.
Still doesn't top the original (one of the GOAT videogame themes) but that's expected
I like DKC better than TF
In fact even more than DKC2 despite loving DKC2 too
Aquatic Ambiance, Minecart Madness and Fear Factory are my favourite DK music
OMG!oh HELL NO. I have never liked that remix at all.
What do you mean "one of"? That song is the GOAT
OMG!
Fight me! Final Destination, no items!
Honestly, I think Nostalgia will weight a lot in the decision of a lot of people. And don't get me wrong, DKC2 is definitely god-like, but I believe TF is just as good and greatly benefits from the higher sound quality and fidelity.
Yes. Though I wonder how DKC2 would sound without being hold back by the SNES technology.
The thing is it doesn't really sound outdated at all. The music was so ahead of it's time in this game.
Another outstanding song from DKC2: Hot-Head Bop
Eh, they're pretty even to me, I'd give an slight edge to DKC2, although my favourite between the two is a remix of Lockjaw's Saga. Then again I think I prefer the DKL2 version of that one over the DKC2 one.

DKC2 hands down, but TF's OST is incredible.
How could you forget Scorch 'N' Torch
Wait wrong track.
It was this one: Seashore War
The absolute best track.
Fuck man, just listen to Seashore War.
it's a crime they don't hire David Wise to do more OST's.
Real talk now, best DKC series track ever.

I remember as a kid pausing the game and just listening to it, facing the endboss King K. Rool, first it starts off happy and then gets so epic.
I can get behind this.Tropical Freeze's soundtrack is that of the highest caliber.
However DKC2's soundtrack is the best video game soundtrack ever made.

Those saying "DKC2, and it's not even close" seem to be really selling the quality of TF's soundtrack short (whether unintentional or not).
Wing Ding is David Wise's musical autobiography.
True, but those respondents stating as much appear to be a bit outnumbered in this thread.* Make no mistake, though, I adore both soundtracks <3It's not like there aint people doing the same for TF
And in the end its all a matter of opinion so they're all "wrong"

Tropical Freeze, by far. Nearly every track is a god damn masterpiece. It's simply beyond the level of any other game soundtrack. DKC2 was great as well but its top tracks were only about as good as an average track from TF, and it also had its fair share of clunkers.
TF also did an amazing job tying the music together with the gameplay, especially exemplified by Sawmill Thrill's composition changes timed to coincide with the segues between riding the sawmill to the log flume and back to the mill.
This is like choosing between mom and dad.
I would say Tropical Feeze OST is bigger, faster and stronger too. It has more tracks and has more variation of musical styles, instruments and beats, something that proves that he has evolved and matured as a game composer in all these years. The amount and quality of the music that there is in DKCTF is simply outstanding.
On the other hand, DKC2 is maybe the only game that I reckon where virtually ALL the tracks of the OST are superb.
Big Top Bop destroys any track DKC track ever made. It's that good.
I really like them overall the same and they are pretty different coming from the same composer but Tropical Freeze is the better game so TF wins (easily).
This thread inspired me to revisit the TF soundtrack and my goodness, it is absolutely incredible.
Returns and TF need to be ported to Switch ASAP.
