I beat them without using any items. The retro series were just easier in general. The items were the icing on the cake or rather the final nail in the coffin for me as seeing invincibility potions, health upgrades (there shouldn't be health to begin with, only one hit per kong), anti-pitfall potions, etc was an absolute insult. Why have any of that when the games are already so easy?
Then again, maybe the later ports were made easier and I'm just wrong. I did only play the 3ds version of returns and the switch version of tropical freeze after all.
