Super Mario World is a spinoff of the Donkey Kong series, but D.K. himself is not present.

As far as I'm concerned Returns is only playable on 3DS, and while it's good, TF does everything it does but better. Jungle Beat is a garbage rhythm game, not a platformer.

DKC2 and TF are masterpieces though, arguably DKC1 as well.

DKC2 & Tropical Freeze are up there but not #1

All-time favorite is either Super Mario World or Klonoa: Door to Phantomile (not the Wii version!!!!!)

It's not a rhythm game, it's a combo-based platformer. Mario Galaxy draws a lot from it.

It's a 2D platformer (obviously) that uses the DK Bongos. Your only inputs are the left bongo, the right bongo, and clapping, and yet they pull so much goddamn game out of it. You go through stages, with picking up bananas and getting a high score as a secondary objective. Every unique action you perform without touching the ground (ground pound, jump off a vine, wall jump, etc.) gives you a multiplier on every banana you pick up, but they aren't added to your total until you touch the ground, so there's a risk/reward aspect to it. I cannot possibly recommend it enough. Don't play the Wii version or the Gamecube version with a regular controller, though; only use the bongos.

Shit, if it was marketed like that instead of "hey it's donkey kong but use this controller", I would've been on it.

No, it's Super Mario World.

Then DKC, DKC2.

I recently played Rayman Legends and I have to say it makes the top five. Also DCK Returns.

I haven't played Tropical Freeze yet.

Tropical Freeze is so much better than Returns outside the fact that it has less levels.

I wonder if someone can relate or help me explain this. I've only ever played DKC 1 and a big part of why I don't like it is the music. It makes me feel like I'm in an old folks home. Not like, the music sounds old. I mean it literally evokes the feeling I'm in a retirement home. The stale, somber air. The yellow lights. I don't know why lol

it's an action platformer. But I wouldn't consider it a pure platformer like Super meat boy or super mario bros (which is what the topic was about).
