I absolutely love the game! My strategy for beating it completely is KONG first playthrough, puzzle second playthrough, and time attack third playthrough. 

Artistically the swinging vine-gripped platforms really caught me by surprise.  It seemed altogether epic yet practical.

My only gripe would be the motion rolls...9/10 it works fine, but every now and then it screws things up.

So, so true... but for me it's more like only half the time it works fine.  I absolutely deplore this design choice.  IMO the roll move should have been a button, plain and simple.  I also HATE the fact that to bounce high off an enemy you must time your button press perfectly rather than just hold down the button via Mario.

 

You can hold the jump button with DK, but obviously you can't with Diddy because of his jet jack.
