Never had a SNES growing up, just sega. Played a few levels of this game at a friends house and found it pretty difficult. Now, 20 years later, I download it onto my WiiU and give it a go. Just played the level where he and Diddy are on the mine cart.

Holy. Hell.

Took me 45 minutes to beat.

How in the hell did 8 year olds beat this back in the day without failing out of school? The timing had to be JUST right and I am assuming it's just going to get harder. Makes Mario look like a little bitch. I'll be back for some more tommorow though!

Donkey Kong games are hard as frick. They have been since the beginning of time. Ask any arcade enthusiast and they will all tell you Donkey Kong is the hardest classic game.

And the new ones are harder than frick as well. Just realize this about the Donkey Kong games: there is a pattern that you can solve and get through the level without dying. There is a method to the game's method. Unfortunately though it takes at least 15 deaths per level to figure out the method to the madness. It's a hard game, but not frustratingly so. It's quality platforming.

At the very beginning of the level jump down the pit and toward the left.

It's a lot like Battletoads, there is a pattern you have to do.

I used to do it with my eyes closed to show off as a kid

DKC 1, 2, and 3 for snes really are some of the best platforming games ever made.

This is one of the best games ever. They promoted the heck out of it and it lived up to the hype. Great platforming, music...just solid.

Was a great game. I remember waking up at like 5am with my dad to go get it from Sears on the day it was released. I think it was the first time I did something like that. DKC blew my mind as a kid.

If you want glorious torture, get Tropical Freeze. I'd argue it's harder than DKC.

Almost all Donkey King games are hard as hell.

You will die. A lot.
