the durian kingdom level has you invading a fortress full of ninja-themed monkeys with lightning swords, cannons, ones throwing little shurikens at you. i made it to the boss and got destroyed because of my awful dodge timing. game over, you have to do the whole 2 levels again to get back. my hands hurt. i physically pummeled my way back through that fortress and stood, dark clouds and hard rain, in front of this evil ass kong. i beat the absolute shit out of him

genuinely one of the most insane and over-the-top Nintendo games ive ever played. this doesnt feel like it should be real

some tedious moments but a good time

Short, but you know what? This was a very satisfactory platformer.

Still one of the most clever and inventive platformers that I've played. The bongos were not detrimental to the experience at all for me. Also really cool just how much this game inspired Super Mario Galaxy.

Points for originality as this is a platformer that is played using the kongas.
Unfortunately I never had fun playing it.
