Um... was that no so in the original games also? I only played the first two and it was a long time ago, though.
I don't remember. Maybe if I returned to the original trilogy now I'd like the controls, although nothing would make me accept the tiny field of view.
Thanks for the extra recommendations, Renzatic. :) Though I wasn't kidding about my Steam library -- I just went to count, and found I had 11 fox games there.

Starker is correct. That gameplay wasn't in the original 3 DKC games on the SNES.

I just fired up the original DKC in BSNES. You could gain extra air by rolling off a ledge, and jumping just a split second after you leave the ground. Thing is, you had to roll. If you just walked off, you wouldn't be able to jump midair.

A great deal of care and passion has been put into the scenes of Donkey Kong punching boss animals.

Glad you like it! :D
Quick protip: if you want to see all the levels in the game, the only collectibles you need to worry about are the KONG letters. The puzzle pieces are just for the 100%'ers who want to get all the action figures and fill the art gallery.
That is a good tip! I've had this game for maybe a year now but haven't gotten very far in it, partly because, well, it's difficult, but also because it feels like there's an overwhelming number of collectibles. I'll focus on the KONG letters now.

Glad to be of help. :D

The owl was a long, tense ride. Somehow I beat it my first try, yet felt as drained as I do after a Dark Souls boss.
Now, three monkeys are kicking my ass. It's Sekiro all over again.

I beat the monkey. Ahem.
At first, I thought the recent 2D Mario games compared unfavorably to this one in every way. I see an exception now. There are many places in DKCTF where you will die if you simply do not press a button long enough -- the autoscroller sections come to mind. In many other places, death is only one mistake away. This never happens in the Mario games, where every death requires multiple mistakes in succession. This makes the Mario games easier in general, but it does hold for their harder parts too, and it's a way in which the 2D Marios are superior to DKCTF.
