In this case, gotta disagree again. I like the fact that you need both to do the super rolling. It's an incredible ability, you shouldn't just be able to do it solo.
Diddy's jetpack I'll give you, but super rolling is fine.
I'll concede to this one, for the reasons shoto mentioned as well.
I still don't like a game that punishes you for not doing well by making the game less fun. It should punish you in a way that maintains the level of fun, or increases the level of desire to win or something. This game just makes you want to stop playing.
Even worse, the game doesn't just make it less fun if you're not doing that well, it makes it less fun if you don't have Diddy. You need to get an optional powerup before you can even begin having a good level of fun. Bad design.
This is especially evident in the temples, because when you die you start off with DK and there are no Diddy boxes. I don't have a problem with the difficulty, I really liked those levels, but one of them I spent like 40 tries doing it with DK... I memorized it a lot, learned it, still failed many times when trying to avoid the bees or something. Went and got Diddy and beat it effortlessly in one go. Bad design.
