Nah I would argue that the secrets in the DKC trilogy are nonsense-tier
Cranky’s hints can give you an idea, but there are FAR too many breakable walls or pass through walls that have almost zero visual indication
Not to mention the barrels hidden offscreen in pits
It’s guidebait, plain and simple
How in the fuck were you honestly supposed to find the secrets hidden INSIDE of other secrets when the game doesn’t really tell you that’s a thing?
One of the things 3 did right was making secrets consistent. Every level has 2 bonus rooms and 1 coin, done.
Meanwhile 1 can have you searching for hours because who’s to say if the level has 1 bonus or 5?
It’s just nonsense.
The Retro Country games at least provide visual indicators of where certain things are hidden.
