Beat the game for the first time this weekend. It's been a long and difficult journey (a year and a half), but I finally finished it.

I downloaded the game via VC for the Wii awhile back when I had some extra points to spend and started playing it quite awhile ago. I really kicked my butt for a while and I can't tell you how many times I saw the Game Over screen, but dang it's such a good game.

I'm amazed by the variety of the game. Every level has a distinct feel and there really are some extremely unique concepts utilized throughout. I also like the classic platformer difficulty. It wasn't frustratingly hard (well in a sense it was), but it was difficult enough to make you want to try again and make it past that difficult segment.

The Stop and Go Station, the first mine cart level, the blizzard level, Loopy Lights, and King K. Rool really caused me problems. Maybe I'm just not the premier gamer, but I thought this game was pretty dang intense. Am I alone in this?

But yeah, great game, and I can't wait to play Donkey Kong Country Returns.

Disclaimer: it took a year and half because I was only able to play every other Sunday or something like that. School and sports kind of take priority. ; )

Good game. Good music. I actually think it's underappreciated. The graphics still look nice too. That's funny that you had a lot of trouble. I don't remember having such a difficult time. Well, I was a kid and kids can conquer hardcore platformers rather easily.

I beat this when I was like 8 it was the second game I had ever gotten on game boy color. Two levels will always be engraved into my brain as causing me the most trouble out of any games ever. Elevator Antics and Stop and go station to me forever to beat.

I remember back when this was released on the SNES. I was 13 and I'd just gotten this for my birthday. This game was purely amazing at the time, simply untouchable. It was imo the greatest game Rare ever made - yes, even better than Goldeneye and PD.
