Easily my second favorite in the whole series (beaten only by Tropical Freeze) and there are 3 main reasons for that
1. The Music is a slight step up in my mind, Funky Kongs theme, Forest Interlude, Krooks March etc
2. Dixie Kong is easily the best character in these games and this introduced her
3. The Setting. Let me explain in the first game your on DKs home turf… pretty standard, but in this game he’s been captured and you have to go onto enemy turf to help save him, hell I prefer the level design and world design in this game sooo much more.
My only negatives are the graphics and the fact that some of the necessary levels are really hard
Lastly F%#! Squitter he is so hard to control I swear to god
