Customer Reviews of Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest

A decade later, yet still very entertaining!
I got this game about ten years ago for my birthday, needless to say, I was entranced by the stunning beauty of this game. Being a fan of the original Donkey Kong Country, I loved its amazing sequal. <
> <
>The plot: DK gets kidnapped by K.Rool. It's up to Diddy and Dixie to save him now. You have eight worlds to traverse to, amazing environments to get through, and dozens of baddies to stomp. Classic DK country. <
> <
>How about the graphics...probably the best I've seen for the SNES; the paralax scrolling is maginificent. On pirate ship levels, the water in the background is 3-dimensional and scrolls at different paces. The graphics are very clear and vivid, and really bring out the sharpness in the game. This game has adopted the theme of pirates; remember all the kremlings in DKC 1? Now they all have pirate clothing and peglegs and stuff. <
> <
>Speaking of kremlings, let's run through the bestiary. From hopping kremlings to invincible zingers (bees), the enemy range is very wide; each enemy has its own strengths and weaknesses. One particualr kremling dual-wields two swords, and is only vulnerable when he gets them stuck in the ground. There are also different colored variations of enemies; the pink version of this kremling has his swirds stuck in the ground for a much shorter amount of time, so it's tougher to kill him. <
> <
>Level design--this is an amazing part; there is so much diversity of stages in the game, it's not even funny. There are carnival stages where you're on a roller coaster trying to dodge closing gates, there is a giant haunted mansion where fifty-foot ghosts chase you down while you're driving a rusty old minecart, and there are levels in which you are underwater. Did you think there were only these level types? Guess again: pirate ships, ship sails, lava, boiling water levels, giant towers with toxic water following you up, sunken sea ships, forests of thorn bushes, etc. I could go on and on. <
> <
>The music is amazing. The theme of the bramble forest levels is particularly awesome to listen to while you're playing; I sometimes pause the game just to listen to that song play. Or you could listen to the mysterious tune of the gloomy gulch stages, which are also cool. <
> <
>Even if you beat this game, there is still plenty more to do: collect all the DK coins. Collect all the Bonus game coins. Comlete World 8: The Lost World. This game will never have you bored. <
> <
>As far as difficulty goes, this game has got it all; the first level? A baby could do it. However, there is a level near the end of the game called "Toxic Tower," in which intoxicated water floods the inside of a tower while you struggle to climb up and up and up away from it. All in all, the more worlds you master, the tougher the levels are. <
> <
>And now for some hints: <
>--On the map screen, when your character is standing on a level, its name will appear. If there is an exclamation point next to the level name, it means you have all the Bonus coins there. If there's a DK symbol, then you've found the DK coin. <
> <
>--Collect banana coins! Use them to save your game at Wrinkly Kong's house, to ask for secret gameplay hints from Cranky (which are VERY handy) and to warp to worlds that you've previously visited in Funky's Flights, or to compete in Swanky's minigames to earn extra lives. <
> <
> <
>The fun never stops! If you have an SNES, get this game. If you don't, then buy the system and this game. You'll regret it.

BEST of the Greatest Series of All-Time
Concept: Take an incredibly fun game(Donkey Kong Country) and make it better by including better graphics, better music(my favorite soundtrack of all time), a better plot, new pals and more bad guys. <
> <
> <
>Story: Donkey Kong gets kidnapped by King K. Rool and it is up to Diddy(sidekick on Donkey Kong Country) and Dixie to save him. Old pals aiding you in your questare Rambi the Rhino(brute strength), Enguarde the swordfish(defeat underwater foes), and Squawks the parrot(to fly). You also have new pals: Rattly the rattlesnake(mad hops), Squitter the spider(webs to reach higher goals), Clapper the seal(to freee water or cool it), and Glimmer the angler fish(to help see underwater). <
> <
> <
>Graphics: Look at this game. You can tell me the pirate theme is not cool. The environments are incredible for being a SNES game. If you thought Donkey Kong Country looked good wait till you see this one. <
> <
>Best seen on Lost World levels <
> <
> <
>Music: You'll love Diddy's monkey rap and Dixie's strumming the electric guitar. Thats just when you beat the level. You will find yourself humming the beat to yourself everywhere you go. The soundtrack is so amazing that I had to download it and put it on a cd so I could listen to it wherever I go. <
> <
>Best heard on the Krazy Kremland levels <
> <
> <
>Difficultly: The game puts up little resistance when trying to beat it but trying to master it(100% comletion) is extremely difficult. Some levels may be harder than others but there are a few trials in the game. <
> <
>Best examples on Gloomy Gulch levels <
> <
> <
>Gameplay: You have some new moves in this one. You can team up and throw your partner to reach higher platforms of defeat enemies. You also can do a helicopter spin with Dixie for reach far away platforms. <
> <
> <
>Overall: As I stated for the title, this is my favorite series of all time and all the Donkey Kong's for SNES are MASTERPIECES. It's a shame to see that Nintendo has been making spin-offs of Donkey Kong(Donkey Kong Jungle Beat, King of Swing, Donkey Konga 1 & 2, & Mario vs. Donkey Kong), while these games may or may not be good, we have yet to see a Donkey Kong platform game since Donkey Kong 64. Whether there is a reason I don't know, but I hope Nintendo will make one before the Revolution comes out. <
