It's time for Diddy's Kong Quest! Rare's 1995 follow-up to the smash hit of Donkey Kong Country was a huge risk, but it also followed heavily in the footsteps of Donkey Kong Jr., a game forever in the shadow of its predecessor. With a fantastic new Kong character, a coming-of-age storyline, and tightening of already-creative gameplay mechanics, does DKC 2 manage to avoid that pitfall? Find out in the long-awaited return of Donkey Kong Dissection!

14:43 She's drinking a juice box, but I'm glad I'm not the only one who saw that. In 1995, most everybody was seeing it on a standard definition TV with RF output so it was very blurry. The SNES' AV multi out was sold separately and almost no one even had a TV with composite inputs anyway. Most kids didn't even know what that was.

@BBWahoo Жыл бұрын

Ah, I love generational tech, I knew all too well about composite, ugrading to component was such a good feeling on the Wii, to see your games slightly more crisp was a joy.

@therealhardrock Жыл бұрын

@@BBWahoo When the Nintendo 64 came out, it was AV only, so it was connected to my VCR since it was common to have Composite on VCRs and not TVs. The audio was connected to a stereo because the VCR was only mono. I then discovered that the N64 multi out jack was compatible with the Super Nintendo, so I got high quality stereo sound out of it for the first time.

To me, Dixie's slowfall always seemed more like how the Cape worked in Super Mario World, since she doesn't ever actually hover. Though, of course, she lacks an actual flying ability. It's analogous to what Bunny Mario (from Super Mario Land 2) is to Raccoon Mario (from SMB3).

DKC2 is great, an amazing adventure where you go deep into enemy territory. It has amazing designs and music that takes you right into the new worlds, special mention to Mining Melancholy. And Dixie is awesome, I wish she had more recognition. The whole thing about DK or Cranky being the real arcade gorilla is pretty confusing, I think Nintendo finally put a stop to that and accepted that Rare's DK is a redesign of Miyamoto's original. In Smash Bros., they usually say that he "debuted" in 1981. Good video! Next stop, the second best game in the trilogy. 🧐

When it comes to music in DKC2, my fav also goes against the grain of popularity. My fav as a kid was Krook's March, the Castle theme. This reminded me allot of the Bowser Castle themes from the Mario games but Krook's March from DKC2 was more creepy and gives you a sense that what was about to come waiting towards the top of the castle was threatening. You had to get good especially with the Toxic Tower level with the slime always rising and you had to be on your toes at all times with your platforming and your speed through. Playing as Dixie for most of the game, I had to get used to playing as Diddy just to get further in front with the Toxic Tower of Slime.

@MistareFusion Жыл бұрын

DKC2 will always be my fav SNES game from my childhood even though I only had the GameBoy version called Donkey Kong Land 2. Never having an SNES really limited my childhood to going over to my friend's places and only being limited to what they had in their collections. Never had any JRPGs because I lived in PAL region and nobody knew about Secret of Mana or Breath of Fire 2. But one game I loved most outside of the Mario games was the DKC trilogy and I loved Dixie Kong who played her part in DKC2 being the best character to hover over the large pits with her ponytail spin.

Glad you pointed out the "bonus within a bonus" and the super out of place back tracking required in, I think it was the "Orangutan gang" level in DKC1 in the Vine Valley world... they were both so deliberately out of place and seemingly only added to the game in order to sell strategy guides. That's not to say that DKC2 didn't have it's fair share of super out of place bonuses/DK coins... but those two instances in the first game were brutal and I definitely would not have found them without a guide/the internet.

27:56 I feel the difference between dkc and Mario 3 is that Mario 3 very likely didn't have much space for new bosses given there were already so many levels with so many diverse gimmicks and enemies to deal with, while dkc definitely had more than enough wiggle room to make it's encounters something more than a boring contrivance, like how megaman X made it's bosses so much more engaging (even if they also take up more of the game than dkc) Hell, it's surprising that Mario 3 even had unused levels with how much cartridge space they used up. Dkc1's bosses meanwhile still remain at an NES level of complexity and they're so boring for being the end of a world, they barely serve their purpose. This aside, you've gone on to do a great job at covering the sequel with a few things most don't mention. Hope you covering the third is just as good.

@@MistareFusion retroactive continuity means that whatever he was then he's his son now. Though I'd argue he was always his son. If he was his grandson then it wasn't because DK Jr went out for smokes and never came back, but because his parents weren't named donkey kong

@MistareFusion 5 ай бұрын

The modern DKC games also maintain that they are grandparent and grandchild. Donkey Kong Jr. has continued to exist as a separate character in games, even after the invention of the modern Donkey Kong. There is no retroactive continuity, just a handful of inconsistencies based on a lackadaisical attitude to storytelling. But the overwhelming majority of media throughout the decades have been in agreement about this. If you prefer to take the side of media that posits them as father and son, that's totally valid. However, I'm reviewing the game within its context. Within this particular story, they are explicitly grandparent and grandchild, so I'm going to be referring to them as such and analyzing the story at its word. When I get to DK64, it's going to be different, and I will likewise handle it according to its context.
