You have some of the best bosses in the trilogy, like the barrel you trick into burping himself off a ledge, or the third-person snowball fight with the snowman. Dixie has her speed, her twirl attack and her hover mode Kiddy is strong, skips across water like a stone, and can break through floors. You have a well-balanced duo in Dixie and Kiddy. Then there's the Biggoron Sword-style trading sequence with the Brothers Bear, opening up the Lost World, and the whole post-game payoff with the Queen Banana Bird, creating extra incentive to truly 100% the game (or was it 103%). There are four vehicles, and each lets you explore more of the overworld, uncovering nooks and crannies where you can free Banana Birds. It has the coolest overworld, where you can pilot a vehicle and freely explore (rather than being restricted to a path). In my book, the DKC trilogy goes like this: DKC2 > DKC3 > DKC1. They make DKC1 seem like a prototype.Īnd yet for whatever reason, DKC3 never gets the credit it deserves. DKC2 and DKC3 are definitely on a whole different level than DKC1.
