VIDEO I've got a Koopa head poking out!- Quest's Backlog v2.0

I hope you remembered to suplex it.

 

It's pretty much the greatest thing in the history of the universe.

 

He learns it automatically at level 10.

Edit: Although, apparently it might be called Meteor Strike in your version.

 

So I was bored last night and decided to play DKCR. When I loaded my save file, I was at the beginning of the Cliff level and had 44 lives. I turned off the game after finishing the Cliff with a stock of 18 lives. I remember now why I never finished this game. There's enjoyable hard and there's non-enjoyable hard and this game is definitely more towards the latter. The one thing that I find most frustrating is the timing of the jumps on enemies. You press jump to jump on an enemy, and then you have to press jump again at the EXACT PRECISE MOMENT with no room for error or you don't get a good bounce off the enemy. I don't remember having this problem with previous DKC games in the series.

 

That type of button mashing put me off the first Force Unleashed game. I was getting PS2 thumb by the time I put it aside. I think I lasted til the level where you're in the ruined temple.

 

So I'm in the factory and I just played the level where you ride the rocket barrell. OMG, I want to stab someone! It's so hard, but definitely rewarding when you collect the bananas and get the puzzle pieces.
I will admit that I really enjoy the shadow levels, not playing them, but visually they are really cool.

I think I'll finish this game and maybe buy Tropical Freeze for $19.99 a couple years from now.

 

I played more last night and now I'm stuck at the factory boss - chicken in robot suit. I got frustrated (surprise!) with him so I went back to the jungle to stock up on lives/search for puzzle pieces before heading back.

 

It's hard to tell if he's going to spread his legs or not when he lands. (That's what she said.)

 

Yeah, I'm semi determined to beat this game now. It helps talking about it. I don't know. I might snap it in half later tonight.

 

Is the final boss in the volcano? I beat Robot Chicken first try last night. I'm currently in the rocket barrel volcano level. Someone shoot me!

 

I think I'm 1/10 on dodging the clapping Tiki Andross. That son of gun! I finally beat him after about dying about 20 times. I'll play it a little bit more before putting this 4 year old game back in the box. Not sure what I'll play next in my backlog.

 

Yeah, he wasn't too too bad.

So I spelled KONG in each level in the first world, unlocked the temple and probably died 20 times playing that platform level before finally getting the orb. The timing of the jump on the enemies to get over the spikes is, again, my major gripe with the game. It's almost like you have to press jump a micro second before to get that boost jump. Also, no half way point make these flawless runs and those types of levels drive me up a wall. This game's days are numbered!

 

The2ndQuest, are you currently orb collection or playing something else? I got all the orbs last night and my thumb was so sore that I played level 9 three times before just shutting it off. My thumb didn't want to work. So far, level 9 doesn't seem worth the effort. The stage is trippy and weird like the level in Aladdin where you were inside the Genie's Lamp.
