@PogueSquadron - Agreed. And the fact that they're very specifically marked really helped out as well. You always knew when you were entering a Bonus Stage, and you always knew if you had completed all of the Bonus Stages in a particular level. Then DKC3 improved on that even further (IMO) by making it so that every level had exactly 2 Bonus Stages, as opposed to the first two games random 1-3 (or so) Bonus Stages per level. So I just beat DKC2 with 102% for the first time ever. No cheats and no outside help. (I still remember the cheat that lets you automatically get all 75 Kremcoins, but I kept myself from using it.) The final time was 7:01. I don't remember how many play sessions it consisted of. DKC2 is easily the hardest of the three games (unless you're going for 101% on the original, and then I suppose that particular goal could be harder, though I never had as much trouble with any of the individual levels in the original as I did with DKC2). I don't remember ever getting particularly frustrated with any of the DKC3 levels, but there were some of the DKC2 levels that were just awful... So many Bonus Stages where you have to have both Dixie and Diddy alive at the same time, and then there's almost no DK Barrels around, but there are a ton of enemies in the way... It got to me occasionally. But despite its sometimes frustrating difficulty, it is still the most fun of the three to me. I definitely still rank the games 2 > 3 > 1. I think when I first played Returns, I estimated my ranking as 2 > R > 3 > 1, and I'd probably still adhere to that, but I'd have to play Returns again to be sure. (And if I were to include 64, I'd probably stick it in-between 3 and 1... maybe after 1. I liked 64 more than most people.) After the final scene of the 102% completion of DKC2, I wonder if there was any thought put into DKC3's setting being what it was because Crocodile Isle sank. Did they decide to set the game in a completely new country because K. Rool's island was no more? But then I think it probably didn't matter either way since DK64 also features Crocodile Isle, but it has to take place after DKC3 because of Wrinkly (unless there's more than one Wrinkly just like there's more than one Donkey Kong). So now I'm on another list with no one else... Hurry up, guys, it's getting lonely up there! |
