DK was too hard? lol

I have not touched it again since about the first or second week of owning it.

It's worth revisiting. 4 things to consider when you do.

~Key thing to enjoy the game is knowing how to grind for coins and bananas in a level. If you earn more than 100 bananas or 3 coins (assuming you repurchase lost lives after every level) before dying, you should be ok to repeat from the same check point for quite a long while.

~If you find yourself overwhelmed with enemies and losing lots of lives, go with Diddy Kong so you can use his special

~Never skip a special hidden stage. 15-20 secs spent in one each time before you die later will make a significant difference in lives gained/lost

~Don't forget to use the items like the extra heart and Squaks as well as banana juice for boss fights. It's possible to get hit up to 12 times before dying if you stack Dixie, an extra heart and 2 banana juices. That should get you through every boss.

~The more you play the game, the better you'll get at it. But sometimes you need a break from it. I spent several days on 2-K, only to beat it my second try a couple days after giving myself some time and space from it.
