Just say you didnt play them

Been too long since I last played Jungle Beat

>>716103768
I enjoyed land, even with all its quirks
But Land 2 and 3 were much better

>>716103796
Don't be a dick.

>>716103796
3 was good and tf was alright but I liked 64 more than both those games

why is JB so low

People saying DKC2's the best. Come on, it's aged in certain aspects, and it falls off during the last third of the game.

>>716104465
handhelds are kinda iffy

>>716104514

No those are some of my favorite levels.

I don't know why non-players hold this game so highly. It's not even better than the first game.

Do fans of this game just never fucking play it? Those levels are tedious as shit.

>>716105831
Shut up parrot is fun.

if you are old enough to know these games then lmao

>>716105903
For one level, sure. For 15+a boss? Lmfao. The biggest cocksuckers of the series, the bees, and a monkey doesn't even get to finish them off.

Why is the bananza music so awful. I fucking hate the Kong bananza music in particular, it's like some shitty kids cartoon music

Arcade and Mario vs Donkey Kong are mainline now. Bananza bridged the timeline together.

Cranky and Jumpman's placeholder game => Country trilogy => 64 => Jungle Beat => Returns Duology => Bananza => Arcade trilogy => Mario vs Donkey Kong

Ellie levels were awful

Bananza is too recent for me to rank without recency bias but I'm feeling around where I ranked the Retro Studios games.

Bananza is really good but I yearn for tight 2D platforming.

Why does DK2 give you existential dread?

Tropical Freeze>DKC2>DKC3>DKCR>DKC

Bananza>64

Can't rate them together.

jungle beat gamecube is still #1

I intend to play all of the Donkey Kong games, including the arcade and spinoffs. I completed Tropical Freeze on Wii U, but that was over 10 years ago and I need to replay it to give an accurate rating.

I liked this one, too bad it was only in the beginning. Feels like a mix between the DKC rollercoaster stage and Funkys Flights.

>>716102826 (OP)
King of Swing counts to me.

>>716106518
To be fair. Anything is going to be shit when you compare to David Wise, Grant Kirkhope, and Eveline Fischer's work. Wise is just a legend with his music so there's no way comparing up to him.

Bananza > Tropical > Jungle > Country > Diddy > Dixie > Returns > 64

Despite how low I put it, Returns has the best minecart levels in the series.

2 > 3 > 1 > TF > R > JB > 64
Haven't played Bananza

Am I the only one who really doesn't like Returns? I haven't played Tropical Freeze, but Returns is just so bland in every single way possible.

>>716103229
These are the ones I've played, and that's how I'd rank them as well. You're cool.

>>716104514
I feel confident saying DKC2 is still the best since I replayed it only two months ago and came away feeling the same.

Bananza
Tropical Freeze
2
Jungle Beat Wii (was too poor for bongos as a kid)
1/Returns HD (I hate motion controls for Wii)
Returns Wii
64
3
I can’t explain why I hate 3 probably due to to hating Kiddy Kong as kid but I have played every DK game but 3 (and Bananza) several times

>>716102826 (OP)
Bro? Donkey Kong 94?

Bananza > DKC2 > DK 1994 > Tropical Freeze > DKC3 > DKC1 > Arcade
The last time I played Tropical Freeze was around the time of its initial release so I imagine it would probably go up a bit if I were to revisit it

>>716102826 (OP)

>>716123415
I think 1 was better than 2.

>>716123894
I don’t mean this as an insult or anything because the DK series is so good that almost every ranking an agreeable but I honestly want to know why because that opinion is so Rare.

>>716124081
I like the level theming more.
I like the contrast of how DK and Diddy play.
I don't like how much of 2 is playing as buddies.

Final area is kinda ass though, I'll admit.
