I've heard stories about Beaver Bother

Probably all of them are true. You play as a Klaptrap and the goal is to bark at beavers and herd them like sheep into a hole in the middle of the round arena. It's like the devs forgot to disable edge detection on the beavers though, because they will refuse to drop into the hole unless you can get them to run at it at a sharp angle (like 60 degrees or more). You have to herd like 15 beavers in 60 seconds.

The races are easily my least favorite part of that game. They seem to require quite a bit of luck as well as (imo) an almost ridiculous amount of precision for a game that was clearly aimed at younger players

Yup, my thoughts exactly. I forgot to mention the required Donkey Kong arcade game that you need to beat to get the Nintendo Coin required to beat the game. And if you fail, you need to pull a switch and watch like a 20 second long transition all over again.

i thought the game was going to take me a lot longer, but i think i finished around the time you did. early 20 hour range.

I was stunned by this, too. I wasn't particularly rushing or anything. I remembered a fair amount of Golden Banana locations but for the most part I was problem solving on the spot. I think we've been spoiled with how long modern games are, but 22 hours to 101% a game that won a world record for number of collectables still is surprisingly low.

I never played DK64 but I have always wanted to.

It has its highs and lows. If you like platformers or Donkey Kong in general, you'll enjoy it. Most of the minigames you need to play are fine, but towards the end of the game they become straight up unfair. You don't need to beat all the minigames to beat the game, only if you want to 101% it.

Basically, I'd fully recommend playing the game, but I wouldn't recommend to most people trying to 101% it. I doubt I ever will do that again.
