Donkey Kong Country 2 - Diddy's Kong Quest (USA) (En,Fr) (Rev A)

About Donkey Kong Country 2 - Diddy's Kong Quest on SNES

Forget what you knew about SNES platformers in '95—this sequel from Rare redefined the genre even further than its groundbreaking predecessor. Playing back then, you'd switch between Diddy and his girlfriend Dixie aboard the pirate ship Gangplank Galleon, feeling the controller rumble during certain attacks in a way that genuinely surprised us at the time. I remember the late-night sessions trying to beat K. Rool's Kaos, a pirate-themed final boss whose difficulty was matched only by our satisfaction upon finally landing the last hit and finishing the fight.
