Best Donkey Kong game, and why

I have to go wtih DKCReturns. Definitely not a popular take (since most people who like Returns will like Tropical Freeze even more), but IDK. Something about Returns just feels a lot more fun. TF is certainly a far more polished experienced, but I really enjoyed it.

There is the added caveat, however, that of all the games listed here, I have only played four: DKC OG, Country Returns, Tropical Freeze, and (I guess?) DK'81. Still looking to give DK64 and Jungle Beat a chance; less so the DKC Trilogy. It's hard to enjoy those games when Returns/TF stand so far ahead.

Haven't gotten around to Bananza? Or not really your kind of game?
