I just played this level. Every bit as amazing as I had hoped based off the music! The density of detail is on a level all its own -- I plan to replay it soon and take pictures of various details in the background (submarine, seahorses, etc).So I finally jumped into the Amiss Abyss...
And wow. Just WOW!
Deep Keep, High Tide Ride, and Rockin' Relics were all great, too. Next up -- Irate Eight!

Well, you're in for a treat. The music in that level is pretty outstanding, even in comparison to the rest of the game's music.

Roll > jump worked for me! Timing is hard but it's a nice challenge.
I had a feeling that was what I had to do, but I got sick of backtracking through the underwater section after a while.

Yeah, it took me a lot of tries as well but I eventually managed to snag it by rolling, then jumping over so that I snagged it and landed in the pool of water. I had been trying to roll + jump and land on the platform but that proved way too tough. Just rolling and jumping full speed made it significantly easier, at least for me.

That feeling when finally finishing 2-K...
...
However difficult, I really enjoyed this level. The music helped.
edit: I am suddenly aware that it's almost 2pm and I am starving.

NES and SNES boxes were the best: uber charming, solid, they made you feel you just bought a GAME. none of the aseptic plastic crap we get today

Damn ya'll sound old as shit
I would have bought a cardboard 16-bit case
because we are old as shit. Shit
Ugh I fucking DESPISE this final boss. His hitbox is one of the worst ones I've ever encountered. It seems way too small considering how massive he is.
Honestly, the rest of the game is fine I think. It's just these bosses that really slow the game to a crawl. I much prefer the simpler, quicker boss battles in the Mario games.

Finally made it to the final temple! Woah, that was really hard, and the temple levels are also pretty nefarious... Is there something else after I complete these 3 levels?

The size and weight of them was great. The cartridge already contributed pleasingly and substantially, but the package was also stuffed with framing card, a thick glossy manual, and all kinds of paraphernalia in the form of promotional flyers and other bits of junk you never looked at. You're right, it really felt like you'd gotten something for your money as soon as you had it in your hands.

Those aren't even boss battles, they're just normal enemies you need to hit a few more times and are completely stupid.
I wish more games would employ longer, more difficult boss battles. You feel way better for having bested a hard boss than to have wasted 1-2 minutes on a pointless 'boss' in a Mario game.
Ah dude, you are in for such an awesome level. And, it's definitely not one of the hardest in that world. You'll be able to handle it without too much trouble!
Not only this, Retro made the boss battle long enough to savor each bosses unique themes.
Glad to hear it. Looking forward to it later on.

6-4 - 6-8 are absolutely incredible.
Just tonight, I realized that there is no run button. I decided to try the nunchuck combo to see if it was superior to the Wii Remote alone. I immediately noticed that the analog stick behaved as digital. I can't believe that this whole time I have been playing as though I needed to hold down a run button. I haven't verified the controls for DKCR, but I'm sure I held a "run" button then as well. Hilarious.
It took about half a stage to acclimate to the nunchuck. I'm not sure if it is overall superior to the remote. I am able to roll more easily as I can waggle hands alternately, where I used both hands simultaneously with the remote. It would be interesting to see how much better I perform with the remote now that I would not hold the 1 button the entire time.

I hated 6-4 actually. It was the worst Rocket Barrel level in the whole game. I really hate the rocket barrel levels. Just don't like them at all. Wouldn't miss them one bit.

Only now starting to finish world 2. Haven't had a ton of time to play and i'm getting the time trial golds as I go. Going to tackle the boss before 2-K (you all have me scared of that level). Level design and presentation continue to amaze me. This game is one hell of a treat. GOTY material.
Despite being difficult it is easy to get lost in the time trials.
edit: Rocket barrel level one was pretty great. Jarring at first but it feels good once you get into it, unpopular opinion but there should probably be more of them so each encounter doesn't require so much re-learning.

Retro's DK games don't use a run button in an analog control scheme. You can both walk and run with the analog depending how far you move it.

While playing it I thought about all the people who hate the rocketbarrell levels and smiled to myself at how much they probably hate this level

I actually play with my thumb holding down the run button despite not needing to. It feels more comfortable for me and every time I try to play without doing it, it feels awkward.
