This was short and sweet; it took about an hour and a half to beat.

Bosses are just as pathetic as in the original and the physics (especially for Diddy) feel wonky, but the level design accommodates for that. The graphics are genuinely impressive as fuck, even if it can sometimes be hard to see stuff due to the black-and-white screen. The music is great. Most of the levels are pretty decent, although there are a few bad ones (Sky Caper). The final world is surprisingly good, though.

Yeah, it’s Donkey Kong Country compressed to 8-bit form and shoved into a Game Boy cartridge, but it still manages to be fun.
