Re: Donkey Kong Country 3 - Welcome to Kanada!
also the DK coin can still totally be a hidden bonus like in the first level today. it just... isn't always, like in the second level today.

Re: Donkey Kong Country 3 - Welcome to Kanada!
1 advantage I think DKC3 has that I know many will dispute is that its bonuses are actually challenges. DKC2’s were just free & forgettable, but DKC3 makes you work for your bonus coins. I dispute the claim that RNG can make the green banana challenge impossible: I’ve seen speedrunners able to get bananas from opposite ends easily & still have plenty o’ time afterward. raocow was o'ershooting bananas & not jumping @ the right angles ( which, to be fair, is ’cause he probably hasn’t played this game in years ). & that bonus was nice ’nough to make it easy to get ’nother chance. I don't think it's right to judge a bonus bad if one has to actually try it multiple times before getting it like a legitimate challenge.
Now bonuses that do deserve to be derided are the “Squeals on Wheels” ones for being lazy & stupid. “Collect bananas ’gain but on wheel platforms”. The rats don’t e’en do anything, so they’re just platforms with awkward hitboxes ( ¡loved seeing raocow just fly through the platform as if ’twere a ghost there! ). This is a perfect example o’ where Rare should’ve given the rats in wheels gimmick a breather; but they’re like, <Nope, this level needs to be full rats in wheels. & whene’er rats in wheels are not on screen, all the Kongs should be asking, ‘¿Where’s the rats in wheels?’>.
I agree that the bonuses don’t have as much variety as they should have in this game; but then, DKC2’s were repetitive, too.

I still miss "Destroy Them All", it's really not the same even if raocow isn't (necessarily) able to say "destroy them all" in that neat tone he used in his DKC2 playthrough.J. J. W.

I don't think Can't Buy Me Love in particular but growing up the music there reminded me of the Beatles on some level for some reason. I'm kinda curious why, I should look into that.WestonSmith wrote: ↑4 years ago Mill Fever music always reminds me of "Can't Buy Me Love" by the Beatles.

Re: Donkey Kong Country 3 - Welcome to Kanada!
The GBA version feels like they ran out of time pretty often in general compared to the other two remakes imo. Like, DKC1 and 2 both (for better or worse) added new collectables into levels, had a scrapbook of enemy art and stuff you had to do little things to collect photos of, and so on. But like, DKC3 GBA has none of that, it feels like they spent most of their "new stuff" resources on Pacifica, like, it feels a bit off compared to the other remakes.

It might also be as I've said earlier because of cartridge space, maybe?

an entire world of levels
is not nothing, and this could explain why neat touches from the original game likemusic on life loss, world-exit animation after a boss fight, the scrapbook,
etc. are missing. And I agree that after appreciating the extra collectibles and things to do in the first two ports, as well as extra modes, having nothing in the third is disappointing.- Kilgamayan

post-watching-today's-video-edit:
I have mixed feelings on the "underwater" set in this game. On one hand, the graphics are rather pretty, and the music is pretty excellent. On the other hand, the music is the only thing carrying the "dreadful menace" aspect, and
the gimmicks for the other two water levels are among my least favorites.
The waterfall set levels I feel has their share of problems, though. It doesn't really "look", in my opinion. The music is pretty calm and relax, and I appreciate that in that moment in the game.
And then you have moments where you're gonna just fall and fall and fall, and the levels can overstay their welcome due to that; especially when it comes to the last of the waterfall levels in a later world, where the music fails to give a proper change of scenery.

Re: Donkey Kong Country 3 - Welcome to Kanada!
Ellie’s weird, how complicated she is. She has the spit & suck mechanic, the ability to vacuum in barrels from far ’way, but she also runs from rats & can't dive underwater. Squitter is the only other buddy that comes close. I guess it’s kind o’ nice as it makes the different times you use Ellie feel different. I only wish “Bobbing Barrel Brawl” came before “Murky Mill”, as it feels easier, emphasizing Ellie’s strengths rather than her weaknesses.
“Springin’ Spiders” is rather mediocre, but much better than “Barrel Shield Bust-Up” & its “dodge monkeys throwing coconuts / acorns / rocks 20 times”. Though I would say it goes too far in the other direction & that the springing spiders aren’t much o’ a gimmick @ all & that this level just feels like a generic forest level. Squawks adds variety, but I don’t feel like he fits forest levels well, & it doesn’t seem like you need him for much, other than flying in an extraneous tunnel with bananas & killing a bee you could easily kill with a barrel if there were 1 round. I love the forest levels’ visuals & music; I just wish they’d made funner levels for them.
I agree with everyone else on the 1st water level: the visuals & music are amazing, but the actual gameplay is just the most generic “dodge moving obstacles”. The next water level will be much mo’ interesting.
Other than the janky cliff end hitboxes & layer confusion, I think “Rocket Barrel Ride” is a solid level. Unlike other DKC3 levels, it doesn’t make the whole level all ’bout the rocket barrels ( which is good, ’cause it’s not an amazing gimmick ), but breaks it up with the Perry section & some general platforming. Also, the bonuses actually use the rocket barrels in a way that isn’t pointless. It actually feels like a DKC2 level to me, but maybe with a bit mo’ exploration, which is an improvement.

Re: Donkey Kong Country 3 - Welcome to Kanada!
BTW I wonder if raocow is aware that in this game,
you can use the put down barrel command at the edge of a platform to drop it below, and it will start rolling even more slowly.

Fun facts about Coral!
It doesn't grow in freshwater.
It's closer related to jellyfish and anemones than to other organisms.
coral reefs cover 0.1% of the earth's ocean and support 25% of the marine species.
Oh, and over 50% of the World's coral reefs have destroyed because of human efforts.

Re: Donkey Kong Country 3 - Welcome to Kanada!
raocow is past the point where there is a point to the bonus coins, but he hasn't done the required thing to use them yet. I'm guessing he won't twig on the required thing for quite a while TBH.
