System: SNES
Genre: Platformer
This is one of the first games I can remember being really excited about, thanks to my love of the first game and an 8-page review in the official Nintendo magazine at the time. I probably drove my parents crazy by my singleminded quest to find this somewhere on my confirmation day, but at least I had my priorities right and it was totally worth it. If I'm honest it's probably the best DKC and certainly the hardest (Animal Antics is such a nasty level). It introduces so many great ideas such as Dixie's helicopter hair, teaming-up, playing as the animal friends directly and the DK coins. Gotta love that sneaky dig at Sonic!
