It's alright, but I just don't like it as much as Donkey '94. I'm not big on the two-screen format and having to clear two screens in a row without dying to get the gold star on a level was kind of annoying. I think it's missing some of the simplicity the original had, even if it largely retains some of the same elements and does them decently well. If I went for 100%, I think I'd do it on the Switch version instead. Not bad, but I think DK94 is just slightly better and more well-executed. I can definitely see the promise with all those extra levels and challenges though, so I can't fault it for content.
