Donkey Kong Land 2 (Game Boy)

The graphics are a little better than DKL and the controls and platforming mechanics are significantly better to the point that it really does feel like playing DKC2.

Unfortunately it goes way too far in that direction and it just makes me want to play DKC2 the whole time. The level designs are all different, but it parallels the SNES game almost level for level in style and gimmick. Barrel shooting continued to be an issue like in the first one. Frustration set in a handful of times from problems inherent to a small display and RAM limitations like enemies offscreen hitting you or very rapid enemy respawn. It wasn't too much of a problem.

The game is also significantly easier to 100% than DKC2. I almost couldn't help but collect the secrets for most levels on the first go, and it looks like my final completion time for blind 100% will be about 7 hours.

EDIT: Also the music, rather than being remixed like in Donkey Kong Land, is a direct conversion to the Game Boy and as a result most of them sound weird and uninteresting. Only a couple of tracks hold up.
