Donkey kong returns trial and error the game. Thanks final boss for not giving out a dk barrel btw.

Aside from that and motion controls that sends you off the platforms with an accidental arm movement be it either nunchuck or wiimote. Country Returns is a good dk time with 70% great level design and 30 % wtf.

There are plenty of moments of the game you rarely have time to adjust to chaotic surroundings and instead need to adapt by failure. There will be death.
However, mostly the level design is outstanding and delivers fast paced and hectic platforming with very fun mechanics.

Lives fortunately come in spades and I was at 99 lives throughout the majority of the game and must have spent thrice that on the kong levels and the final levels.

The soundtrack is nice and mostly has tunes from dkc 1 as well as the majority of the level aestetics, although each level has their own fun quirks and occasional gimmicks and never feel samy.
This game still looks amazing and although there's at times too much going on, it does always make a great visual spectacle with its fast paced non-stop platforming.
