Go bananas. Please
Profoundly pretty, Donkey Kong Country combines the established fun of jumping on the heads of various things with beautiful graphics that still look totally fantastic. Even at its time, you couldn’t really consider DKC particularly innovative, but the excellent level variety makes it engaging the entire way. Though the lack of boss variety is a disappointment, no other aspect of this game is. By integrating a variety of challenges including rope swinging barrel blasting and ostrich riding (because gorillas ride on ostriches all the time) DKC stays engaging throughout its satisfactory length.
This is arguably the best looking level in video game history
Donkey Kong Country is essential to any Super Nintendo collection, not only because it was a highly impressive leap in videogame technology and still looks as good as any game on the SNES, but also because I can’t see anyone not enjoying what highly polished gameplay has to offer.

I only played this game a few times but it was too old for me to be impressed with it. However, judging by what others say... it's awesome.
I'm subscribed! And you know how I feel about this game so blah blah blah, but the point is, I subscribed. So far your blog is delivering, which means I have a reason to live and I may send you more sweet tarts, or dippin dots in liquid nitrogen. RSS!
