It's a game that takes place in Donkey Kong's country.

>>11805198
To be fair, you don't play as donkey Kong in the original arcade games either.

>>11805090 (OP)
The game is fun though so it doesn't matter, you'll unlock all the characters anyway

>>11805231
you play as dk jr in his game

>Make "Golf" for Gameboy
>Show Mario on the game label
>Mario isn't even in the game
>Years later make "Mario Golf" that also shows him on the cover
>This time he is in the game

>>11805198
Ain’t it weird how there’s only two or three retro DK games where you actually play as DK?

>can't play as the halo

>super mario land 3

>>11805198

>>11805551
He appears at the end of the game in a helicopter.

>>11805568
This is retarded, Neo isn't even in the title and Ghost was sick as fuck.

This. I had so much fun playing this game when it came out. I thought, I tried playing it a few years ago and it's not as fun as I remembered.

>the legend of zelda
>you play as zelda himself

It's how the frenchies spelt Saiyan.
Bandai got lazy and didn't translate it to Spanish or Italian, despite the game being popular.
Has some other bizarre stuff like Broly being renamed Tara.
Similar to the bizarre early DB american dub with Goku called Zero.
Soul. I adore those times when Dragon Ball was still very exotic and new to the western world.

I replayed it a year ago and had tons of fun, I love how every gun has a high rate of fire and is inaccurate so you just have to constantly keep running and gunning. The slow moves are fun to do and the hand to hand combat while not very deep mechanically is fun to do. I think the level design absolutely could have done with some more work, especially those awkward sections where you walk for 15 seconds then it has to load a new map.

Who wants to play as Gohan? He’s the Toad of Dragon Ball.

>>11806831
Gohan was a real character at this point, before Toriyama gave up and made Goku the sole protagonist again.
You're describing Chiaotzu.

>>11806831
Butoden 2 has main stories for Gohan, Vegeta, Piccolo and Trunks.
Gohan was supposed to be the new MC of DB before Toriyama backpedaled mid Boo saga.
Son Gohan in Butoden 2 is actually a really fun character to play.
