And where did I do that?
DK64 was a bad game, get over it. Way too much obnoxious collecting, annoying minigames that barely work, unfocused, barely any platforming, etc.
Most people who play it today don't even like it.

Most of your posts reek of it whenever you post anywhere but the Nintendo section. I won't go any further because I'd rather not get modded for pointing out a well-known fact of VGC.
As for the second part of your post, I'll reiterate, since you're clearly just restating what others have said on the Internet and not going off of experience, that only one set of minigames has problems working. That's Beaver Bother, and it's well-known to be the single worst part about the game. Others would argue that it's not that bad, but I am not others; those particular minigames are trash.
Moreover, the game is not meant to be a platformer at heart. It's meant to be a collectathon, the logical conclusion to everything Rare had made prior. In the 40 hours that DK64 is to 101%, I'd still say a good fourth or so of it is pure platforming of some sort, but it's an adventure game more than a platformer. In the same way that shooter fans call Prime a terrible FPS (which rightfully, it is), platformer fans going into DK64 expecting a platformer are gonna be upset. Both games are shoehorned into genres they don't belong in by critics when they're in more than just a cookie cutter genre.
I'll give you that the game can lack focus at times. Some would again argue that this is a benefit to the style, forcing the player to pick up the slack and remember where X character's bananas are and what to do with all five characters each stage. I'm not one of those people; at points, the game gets pretty goddamn tedious, at others it's a completionist's dream, sometimes both simultaneously.
To call the game terrible is to misunderstand the while point of the game. The game's quality depends entirely on the player's understanding of the genre itself.
