Get rekt Donkey Kong jr. Math

He has the right #1 and has Returns and Tropical Freeze ranked higher than the SNES country games so it's all good
---

No one cares.
---

I get it eddv you don't respect video game history but I'm sure there are others that do
---

doesnt even have super mario brothers 2 at number one smh
---

No one gives a shit about Jeremy Parish, and nobody gives a shit about your opinions abouy Jeremy Parishs opinions.

correct game at #1
---

I also do not care about Jeremy Parish (who is Jeremy Parish) but I hesitate to say that no one cares and Eddv needs to stop being a doofus

SHINE how is your day
---

Solio my day is great how are you

I would put Jeremy Parish up there with Jeff gerstmann as one of the most respected guys in the video game industry so I think it's fun to see what he thinks when he puts his lists out and they're always a bit controversial see his previous lists on Mario, Final Fantasy and Zelda

Good friend @Eddv just hasn't seen the light yet don't worry I'll get him on my side one day
---

94 is great but number 1 is kinda lol
---

Video Games 'journalism'.

Thats like being the most respected guy who eats cow turds.
---

the only thing definitive about that ranking is that the ranker is definitely an idiot
---

@Eddv thank you for sharing it's always great to hear from you
---

I get it now. SHINE and Eddv are in this together. Eddv is playing the part of the hater to generate controversy and thus draw attention to these topics . It's all a work, and THEY PLAYED US LIKE A DAMN FIDDLE!
---

I wasn't lying when I said @Eddv and I have been good friends for years

I'm doing fine, working on finishing up an application for a leadership program at UTA

BTW I just remembered you live less than 30-40 minutes from me somewhere in Dallas and thought "Shine and Solio should pick a co-op game and stream some trophy stuffs"

Maybe in a couple years though cause my mom would kill me if she found out I had left the house to go meet up with someone I met online
---

I recently did co-op with my best friend through a way out and it was pretty good although we didn't live stream it

No I didn't do co-op with @Eddv but maybe we can do a different game in the future
---

This list is completely bonkers but it was a fun read at least.
---

Donkey Konga being so low is a literal crime.
---

DKC2 at #6 is a joke beyond jokes. I appreciate the love for Donkey Kong '94 though.
---

Tropical Freeze not #1 smh

yes we all know what a historic game Jungle Beat is
---

First ever Bongo controlled platformer!
---

DKC1-3 not occupying the top 3 spots is pretty ridiculous but lol polygon
---

This is one of the least interesting series to rank. It's like ranking the Star Fox games

Dunkey is annoying and your opinions slightly disgust me. That is all. Have a good day.
---

Dunkey is pretty good I will defend NFUN on that one

and then not ranking 64 #1
---

Dunkey is great
---

List is pretty dumb. Donkey Konga is really good. DK94 and Mario vs Donkey Kong are equally good or at least not as far apart as this stupid list makes it seem. DKCR is not better than any of the original trilogy. Jungle Beat is good but absolutely not better than any of the Donkey Kong Country platformers. Etc.

Pretty much this....
God awful list.....

Pretty good ranking. Correct #1.
---

Okay, good, he's got the right game on top.
---

while we're all here, reminder this is a top 5 all-time Game Boy track

List seems solid enough to me. The justifications are more important than the order and those seemed pretty well-thought-out. Read the Mario one too, that one was a better read for me but that's mostly because I like Mario games more than DK.

The salt here that someone would dare rank the B8-darling SNES games anywhere but the top was predictable but funny.

pretty sure more people have expressed happiness about '94 being #1 than SALT (of which there has actually been precious little) at a DKC game not being #1 but sure
