#DONKEY KONG 3 WII U SERIES#

Join Donatello, Leonardo, Michelangelo, and Raphael in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection. And now that we're in the era of the better backlit LCD screens of the Nintendo DS and GBA SP screens, it would have benefited the game had the designers offered a mode to turn down the louder color palette. This truly waters down the visual impact of the classic SNES series, and the game just doesn't look nearly as good as it did a decade ago. Unfortunately, the third game runs into the same problem as the previous two games: to make the game pop out better on the lesser contrast GBA LCD, the development team oversaturates the colors of the original art assets. The development team also throws in a nifty 'Stun Runner' style mini-game that's using a very simple graphic technique for a stunning visual effect.

Compete is a fun throwback to the company's Cobra Triangle NES game, racing through a series of speedboat challenges to earn some collectible bananas and other trinkets. Donkey Kong Country 3 does add some new sub-games into the mix, and it's cool to see Rare take a step back and reference the company's gaming past. But in reality it more confuses the issue and clutters up the design. Right from the start players will have to poke around and find the first level instead of actually being thrust into the action, which may seem like a clever change of pace. The game's presented a little differently for the third game the level progression is still linear, but for some reason the designers force the player to actually find that particular line. The new character opens up the opportunity for new abilities, techniques and challenges, but to be honest even with some of the added elements the game still feels like the same 'run, jump, collect banana' gameplay that's already been established. Dixie Kong from the previous game headlines this adventure with an additional character, Kiddie Kong. For the third iteration of Donkey Kong Country, not only is Donkey Kong missing, but so is Diddy Kong this time around.

Apart from a new set of level challenges unique to the handheld version, that's all she wrote this time around.

The Game Boy Advance version is even more run-of-the-mill not just because of those mentioned elements, but also because Rare went more conservative in the GBA's exclusive content this time around. But this game never really had a huge impact in its original release because of its D¿j¿ vu design and its reuse of the same visual style of two previous games. But there's no denying that Donkey Kong Country 3 still featured some very tight and challenging gameplay, and kept with the feel of the past couple of platformers that came before it.
