Donkey Kong Country 3, while not as well received as the first two; was certainly a unique experience. Taking a lot of what was learned from those games, and just trying to expand upon to some successes and failures.
For this playthrough, I wanted to play both the SNES and GBA versions, and sorta showcase differences between them, as well as highlight strong points in both versions. Many people hate the GBA version for it's different soundtrack, but honestly; playing it, I found myself very much enjoying much of the GBA music. It's not as nostalgic as the original, but it's pretty good.
Pacifica is a very weird addition to DKC3. It's an entirely new world, which is certainly unique, and it also utilizes mechanics in ways not seen in the vanilla game, leading to quite a unique idea of a world. All the levels are Water themed except one, and it was quite an intriguing collection. I went into it blind, as I had never finished the GBA version before this run.
All gameplay was recorded via Emulation.
