Game of the Week #19

Metal Mario · 11-21-2009, 03:28 PM

Donkey Kong Country 2 (Super NES, 1995)

Widely perceived to be the best of the DKC trilogy, Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest improves on its predecessor in every conceivable way, delivering more challenge, more flavor, and more variety of gameplay. And the graphics and sound are better to boot. The stakes were higher, the atmosphere was darker, the humor was more pronounced, and all of this made DKC 2 a huge hit with fans.

Popular DKC staples introduced with this game include Wrinkly Kong, Squitter the spider, the vastly expanded role of Squawks the parrot, the collection of bonus tokens, the Lost World, and the ever-useful team throw.

I like to use the DKC games for speed-running. My current time record for a perfect 102% score in DKC 2 is 2 hours and 22 minutes.
