obviously the original

Why is DKC 3 so comfy but so boring?

Brawl

For all the shit it got, it's ost was quite amazing.

The worldmap is the best thing about the game.

Which is as strange as it is unfortunate.

the world themes aren't very good

DK2 had a theme park, a volcano, a swamp, it was all very varied

The worlds in DKC weren't very varied either, just typical jungle themes
But it was great it's my favourite game in the series

Not him but I thought DKC was varied but with pretty standard themes that were very well executed. DKC3 was.... weird without being interesting to make up for it. It had it's own sort of character to it but it wasn't as pleasing to the eyes and ears outside of the waterfall levels.

The Brawl version is a good remix. It goes for a wildly different tone, but that's part of what makes it good. I really like both for different reasons.

At least the final boss theme where good.

DK2 still got the best final boss theme though.

The Brawl version seriously sounds terrible and it would even as an original track.

Almost any version of this song is good, even the Gameboy one.

How is tropical freeze by the way? I've played the Wii one I loved it, should I get it? What's the difficulty like compared to the Wii one?

TF is a lot better than returns I'd say, difficulty depends on which Kong you're using as back up, but if you liked DKCR, then you'll really enjoy World 6 of tropical freeze

Neither

Original
Why are the sound effects so weak in this game? I could overlook the lack of great music if it had at least decent sound effects.

It has the best OST in the series.

Brawl version is one of my favorite songs in Brawl I like it better than the original.

I liked the Tropical Freeze version more.

>stickerbrush symphony manages to get better everytime i hear it
Jesus Christ, it's so damn good. Wise, you bloody genius.

Imagine having taste this shit. Take off your nostalgia goggles.

This.

>those off pitch flutes

Make way for best Dk song ever.

Whoops, posted the wrong link
Here's the one I meant to post
youtube.com/watch?v=QHfuRuRqcTY

Damn was this wasted in TF

are you kidding? this literally sounds like the downs flute meme

DKC3 has a couple problems
1. no diddy means there's no dedicated "fast" character
2. later level gimmicks got really really fucking stupid, levels where everything is the same but they just flipped your controls
3. world map is interesting but doesn't really add anything to the game
4. music is good, but pales in comparison to DKC2

>be little kid playing through dkc2
>enter level
>this comes on
>nuts drop to the floor

>I've played the Wii one I loved it

When it's great, it's fucking great, but Brawl's OST was very hit and miss. Some songs are just way
too overproduced.

youtube.com/watch?v=76T6f5CA7nw

Obligatory a capella version

The Brawl version is more like a good homage to Stickerbrush. Using the original wouldn't work as well for a party fighting game where things are more fast paced. They both have their place in their respective games.

Original sounds better though in a straight comparison though

>being this much of a musical brainlet

Why are you even in this thread?

That's the point. From what I remember reading David Wise hates how overrated this song became in his work. So he made this version to fuck with the fans.

world map didn't add much, but it was fun to discover stuff from there. minor stuff.

didn't know english back when i played it. was there hints or something in the game, that you can circle the rocks and volcano rises from the sea?

>in my opinion i am not a musical brainlet but you are a musical brainlet and therefore i am superior! haha leave this thread! :^)

>klinger is a crocodile
what the fuck i thought it was a dog

Lately, I have been listening to DKC soundtrack nonstop, I'm starving for a new game, holy fucking crap.

Anyway, WHY DOES DKC2 HAS THE BEST GODDAMN RARE FANFARE?
youtube.com/watch?v=z8ES62Ez41Y

How come no other game ever topped that after 20 years?? I'm not even a DKC2 apologist, but intros like those are so strong, every game worth a damn should have a big musical opening like this one. (I rank DKC >= DKC2 > DKC3)

The only off pitch note I heard was at 4:09, and that could just as easily be the fault of the player and not the composer.

Everything else sounds great. Hell, the flute is my favorite part of the song. Just because you don't like its tone/color doesn't mean its bad. Its the same shit as using dissonance, its initially jarring but eventually it fits and adds to the song.

>implying any intro will ever top this

True Story
I opened the original link, listened to a minute, leaned back on the sofa and fell straight asleep.

So yeah, original. Brb, coffee.

I love DKC1 intro, don't get me wrong, but the RARE and Nintendo logo are so well put. DKC2 not having an animated scene right after it was really disappointing, but that's just how life is sometimes.

DKC3's intro is just okay, and Retro DKC are just a stupid ass logo with background music. In-game cutscenes doesn't hold the same impact for me and are usually much longer than what a little 10s gag scene between the Kongs would be

Childhood is preferring the first. Adulthood is preferring the second.

the original

i mean, holy shit, if you were just starting that level back in 1995, with that music and a decent stereo setup, you were in fucking heaven.

why the FUCK would you want a remix or remake of that 16 bit masterpiece? i mean, look at what they had to work with and fuck 2008 reimagining.

I'm playing through DKC2 for the first on the GBA.
Is the swamp level suppose to be really freaking hard.

Heres the superior remix m8

youtube.com/watch?v=GtcAw3U6LPk

The original by a mile.

Brawl version has good instrumentation but doesn't have much in common with the original for 90% of the track.

>OC Remix

Ehhh...... I think the only DK2 remix I ever listened there that was relatively good was KRool Intentions: youtube.com/watch?v=-Ujj06NWOuo

You mean hard?

>That one level where the controls are backwards

Anyone else just turn the SNES controller upside down to finish it? I felt like a genius when I tried that. Outisde of the music (which is different, but not bad), it's 10/10. Had the entire soundtrack been done by the DKC1 & 2 guy everybody would love it.

best remix

I'm stuck on the level where the water is flooding everything and if you aren't fast enough a fish kills you.

That's not it you fucking retard, it's a level in world 3.

this version

youtube.com/watch?v=5IUXyzqrZsw

A lot of repeat-a-meal levels. Lakeside, Jungle, Barn, Cliff, Cave, Water. DKC2 had much more variety.

I wish people didn't shit on the DKC3 soundtrack just because it isn't as good as DKC2
I mean, it's very hard to top DKC2. DKC3's soundtrack still manages to be very good

the original, did you really have to ask?

frantic fields reminds me of the yookalaylee song but faster

oh god I remember this exact feeling, I got up and turned my stereo on once I heard this

>DKC2 had much more variety
it didn't

>sunken ship
>air ship
>volcano
>caves

lol?

Is it just a port of snes version? Sometimes the handheld games were different even if named the same
