Played DKC1. A bunch of years later I bought DKC2 because I heard it was the best of the bunch but only played it a bit. But DKC1 was such a fantastic game.

Slightly off topic, but, I heard DKC Tropical Breeze was super good so I bought it a while back but it doesn't feel like it has the magic of the originals. Like it's an OK game, but I've only managed to play if for an hour or two because I play it for like 20 minutes at a time then I'm like eh whatever. That and NSMBUD both feel underwhelming. Maybe its just because indie 2D platformers have gotten so good that these classic series seem kinda boring now. Anybody think DKC Tropical Breeze really isn't that interesting? Or should I play more into it and it will get better?

I kind of agree with you. TF is a fantastic looking game, it pretty much sets the standards for what a modern platformer should look like, the music is really good too, But the game itself is kind of lacking in some aspects. I think it focuses too much on obstacles and reflexes throughout the levels. I like obstacles that challenge my reflexes and all, but I wish the game had a little more exploration. Plus, you should be able to choose your character right from the start.
