The next Donkey Kong Country game needs to be for everyone, not expert level players.

So basically you want to turn DKC into NSMB?

Being challenging is part of what DKC is, and part of why many love the series. Take that away and it wouldn't be the same for those many fans. Giving an easy mode is fine, but making level structure easier and giving more hearts would not make it DKC. It's fine if you don't enjoy it, but there are many who do, and making it permenantly easier would deter all those fans, NOT making it a win-win at all.
