Yeah, that does happen eventually, in
World 4
This is where you lose me, as I don't believe such a thing even exists.
I listen to it while working. XD
Just ordered this for 31, can't wait to get bananas
Can I ask where?

6-6 is still my favourite level. It's got everything I love.

Just to check, can I use the CC Pro on this in single-player?

What a weird oversight.
I am never going to get a chance to use this thing without giving something else up.

Why the fuck is there STILL not a restart level option restart checkpoint option, and bonus rooms are inaccessible after failing them? Having to suicide, or worse yet, quit the level and restart is BULLSHIT. Especially with the load times as long as they are.
This is game design 101. Make the game intuitive and as easy to play as possible. This was a problem in the original; there's no excuse for it this time round.

Yup. The lack of a restart option is really stupid.

Does this game support the Wii Classic Controller?
It doesn't support the Wii classic controller pro so I assume no. I had to plug in the nunchuck.Does this game support the Wii Classic Controller?
We're at 5-1 now. For some reason I kept dying on this level last night when playing it. I don't think it's actually that hard of a level compared to the others, I think I was just super-tired when beating it. I was very proud of my wife for beating the World 4 boss, that looked really tough.

No it's not. It's black. I'm playing now.
That's basically off.

No, it's using up power for the light, which is a waste.
Its the best they can do and its a minuscule waste.
Aren't screen & (back)light the most power consuming parts?
It definitely does. By the end of a world in DKCR i typically only had 30-50 more coins, and thats if I was going out of my way to collect them. In TF I dont really try and come out at the end of a world with around 200.

I think the answer is NO. But if you have it you should check and tell us what happens... This gets asked so often someone should add it to the OP.

100% obtained, Hard mode Dixie and Cranky Kong mode unlocked!
The lack of checkpoints will do my nut but never mind that, I can now witness all of the unique animations for partner Kongs that are criminally unavailable outside of multiplayer otherwise, Dixie Kong is the best (though Cranky is probably the most fun).

Cranky is necessary to have the most fun with level 3-2. I love Cranky's cane.

About to start 3-3 and I have 974 banana coins...guess I better start buying figurines.
Get ready to mash A for an hour, it doesn't seem like you can skip the whole process so they make you sit through the little capsule animation for every single one of them.
You're gonna have 200 of them to open, enjoy!

Surprisingly it's far from the worst capsule machine I've had to deal with in a new game from this February, it's pretty quick all things considered.

Haha oh boy....here we go!
Do you lose banana coins or anything else when you see a "game over" screen?

Been replaying both DKC2 and DKCR over the week-end while I'm awaiting for my copy to arrive tomorrow.
DKC2 is quite harder than I remembered. Maybe my skills are faltering, but I raged at that one boss (Giant Bee). Atmosphere is still top notch, but I can't wait to experience modern David Wise!

The final boss is one of the worst experiences I've had in my recent gaming endeavors. It's a difficult boss fight, yes, but that isn't my problem with it. Spoilers:
Moving on from that fight, this is one of my favorite platformers of all time. The music, levels, and gameplay were all well crafted. Hoping for another sequel.
Once you get to the ice sections, the boss becomes tedious and fluffed: if you miss one hit, you have to wait through the long process of the penguin throwing, the ice dragon dodging, and then the wonky hit boxed charging. Timing is key, yet it isn't always precise... for me at least. Might have been because I used the Wii U pad because I never had this issue with the Wii mote. It took me a long time to beat this boss, because the trial and error style was expanded by tedious transitions and very small attack windows. It may sound strange, but I found the 3rd section of this fight to be the easiest due to there being two charging sections instead of one, and so if you missed one of the three opportunities the first time, you were given an additional three more chances.

Are you getting shiny gold as you go? I have been getting the Gold medals as I go but I don't think I have it in me to go for shinies yet. Figured I'd go back through the game a second time to go for shinies later.
Could you elaborate on this more? In spoilers if applicable? It was my understanding that the letters (KONG) and puzzle pieces are the only permanent collectables you obtain each level (excluding Banana coins).
