Joke post.
That being said, I absolutely adore this game, and have such nostalgia for the Christmas Break where I got this game.
Can't wait to dig into it again.
Didn't expect that. I remember as a kid, whenever we had to clean the house, we'd put on the sound test mode of whatever game we liked and play the hits while we worked. DKC2 got a lot of use for that.
I preferred the original as far as the actual game, though. I thought it was silly how it had all the same enemies, but this time they were all pirates for some reason. Still played the heck out of it, though.

Yeah, I don't know, guys. I never pay attention to music very much in games. I don't know what's wrong with me ._.

Slightly off-topic, but I really need to try out Returns and Tropical Freeze at some point. I was thinking of getting Returns on the Wii U VC. Does the Wii U gamepad work fine for the game? I imagine if TF was designed around the Wii U gamepad, then Returns wouldnt have any problems with the controls despite being a Wii game?
And after reading about what people are saying about Retros games being harder..........Im not sure how I feel about that. DKC2 had me almost ripping my hair out* in some levels. To hear that Retros games are even harder, Im not sure Ill have any hair left by the time I finish them!
*Not to be taken literally of course.

Returns requires the Wii remote to play so you're not going to be able to play it exclusively with the Gamepad. The rolling is tied to motion control so there isn't really a way around it minus homebrew/Dolphin or the 3DS port (the trade off being that's only 30fps and lower res). As far as difficulty, I'd say Returns is the hardest of the bunch and the only game in the series that I feel edges past challenging into frustrating in some areas. I'd compare Tropical Freeze's difficulty to DKC2

If you plan to play Returns you will need to use Wii remote but you cant play it with the Gamepad. Only Tropical Freeze works with it. The Retro games are hard but they are not cheap thanks to the games being widescreen and the zoomed out camera. You have more time to react to obstacles because of this. Plus the level design is fantastic so really the games are though but fair. Returns implementation of the motion controls are a none issue because they are incredibly responsive.

Thanks for the responses! We do have Wiimotes, so were good on that front!
And yeah, kinda weird that Returns would be harder than Tropical Freeze considering the formers shorter development time, but yeah. Im hoping Ill be able to handle it. Should be fun anyway!
One of my favorite games of all time. While I think Tropical Freeze has the best gameplay in the entire series, I think DKC2 still has the best level themes and music. It's a really close call though but songs like these are just untouchable.

Forest Interlude
Mining Melancholy
All of these are god tier tracks.

I haven't finished DKC2, have made it pretty far in (I imagine at least 50%), but find DKC1 the better game. Maybe my opinion will change if I make it all the way through 2...

I honestly think it's debatable which of the two is harder. Personally, yes, I think Returns is harder, but that could just be because I mastered Returns before I played Tropical Freeze.
Toxic Tower was my nightmare. It sucked, because I was so close to finishing it lol.

That level seems to be agreed upon widely to be one of the trickiest.
Animal Antics was soo much worse for me.
Ugh. And near the end of Castle Crush for me at first. Could probably do it first try now, but the damned hook throwing bastards on either side kept hitting me no matter what I did.
Edit: It's name is Krook,
But to me it will always be known as "Hook Throwing Bastard."

Theres kind of a trick to dodging those guys hooks. Or maybe its just something I do myself. You basically can just keep jumping over the hook and at the same time jumping towards the guy that throws the hooks, back and forth until the segment ends. Idk how to explain it well, but it works. That parts not really that hard.
