Same, I have to go for that 101%/102%/103% every so often.DKC 2 is my favorite game of all-time. DKC 1 is great too but DKC 2 was really something special. The whole trilogy holds up so well too though, I play through them all every year or two and they're still a blast.
And the capstone video on DKC's 25th anniversary:
Kudos to GameXplain for the week's worth of great insightful interviews, this is the pinnacle of what gaming media can be. It's unfortunate that the fans and former developers have to pick up the slack so hard in celebrating DK as a brand, with Nintendo not even able to muster a happy anniversary tweet for the series that put one of their oldest icons back on the map. Hopefully that changes sooner rather than later.

Ninty should surprise release DKC on SNES Online!
Madison You could! I love me some DK64.
Ah! 105% yes! That's the actual proper percentage, haha.
Really happy to see the original development team along with Rare themselves celebrating this game's anniversary on Twitter. It really was the start of me becoming a fan of so many of their games and worlds.
No one seems to care about DK64 being 20 years old tomorrow :c
Perhaps I should make that OT
It's a shame they never released a Donkey Kong Country game after 3.
Finally finished up what I've been working on for a week: why I think DKC was so damn memorable.
Happy birthday Donkey Kong Country!
Those aren't Donkey Kong Country games. They're a cheap imitation.Are we ignoring Retro's efforts? Or do you just mean Rare specifically?

(granted they're just not for me and they're probably good games, but for me they gutted all the good things about the original games and turned them into a mediocre platformer with shadows of hints of the magic that made the originals so good)
To the person who said they didn't talk about DKC3 as much, I believe by that point the Rare A-team was working on DK64, leaving a different group of folks to take the helm for DKC3. Still a great game, of course, a lot more puzzle-based platforming and weird level concepts.
One more video to round out the night:
