Challenge is part of the Donkey Kong Series since its SNES days......
I think it would take away a lot of the game´s personality. It´s an old-school platformer, after all.
And, personally, I don´t thinkg DKTF is that hard. The SNES games seemed a lot harder to me, they required more precise control and timing and some secrets (coins/hidden stages) were just really ridiculous to get.
DKTF has some long boss battles but they are not as demanding regarding precision and timing than older DKC games. They just require patience and some memorization. And if you die too much, you can always use items that make things easier.
The art-style, soundtrack and ingenuous level design are well worthy this game, at least to me.
