Designing For | Snow Barrel Blast: The Horror of the Difficulty Spike -- Designing For Donkey Kong December @DesigningFor | Uploaded December 2022 | Updated October 2024, 7 hours ago.
Snow Barrel Blast is pretty universally agreed upon to be one of Donkey Kong Country's most treacherous stages, at least on a first-time playthrough. But what made the experience of trekking through Gorilla Glacier such a universally harrowing experience for its players, and why does it stick out so much when harder levels on Donkey Kong Island fade to obscurity? We explore the ins and outs of one of DKC's most infamous levels, and see what can be carried on into future adventures!
