Compared to DKL1, this game is surprisingly competent for a game made by one programmer. Although I think it's way cooler that DKL1 was a wholly original game made for the Game Boy to be paired with DKC1 on SNES, it's also a pretty bad game so it doesn't end up meaning much.
This, on the other hand... the best way to put it is that it uses DKC2 as an inspiration to create an alternative to the SNES game that doesn't feel like I wasted time or money investing into a playthrough of it compared to the console counterpart. 3 stars isn't a great review, but it's high praise compared to how bad it COULD'VE been. You should still play DKC2 instead because this game doesn't even have Cranky Kong in it smh
