always love some appreciation for DKC3 💙

Evelyne Fisher was the exclusive composer of DKC3 AFAIK. They got David Wise back for the GBA port.

I actually loved this game as a kid. My dad took me to Toys R Us and bought it for me. I have such fond nostalgic memories of DKC3 and I hate that it has received so much undue criticism.

As a kid I don't remember anyone hating on the game but rather play something else and when they would play it was the difficulty that turned them away and would just stop playing it, in my case it was the difficulty that got me hooked and also the fact that was a DKC game, I had a great time playing this title.

I agree with almost everything you said here. I wish the algorithm caught onto your channel earlier, I loved your dedication to showing appropriate clips for your examples while keeping your info concise and to the point. Great work my man

I actually think DKC3 is such an underrated gem. You can tell they wanted to test the tag team attacks with the weight difference Diddy and DK had in the original and it was implemented well. The atmosphere was much brighter and lighter in tone considering it was a vacation adventure. I found Kiddy pretty fun to play since he borrowed animation and barrel holding positioning mechanics from Diddy (alongside his rope grab pattern). I consistently get most of the DKC trilogy songs stuck in my head, but this one was still plenty catchy for me throughout. Out of the 3 games, I actually think this is the easiest to replay. It contrasted well with the second game for tone and felt like its own game.
The trilogy is a gem, but I hold DKC3 right up there with the second one

I’m surprised there’s not to many commentaries on YouTube about DKC. Snes really was an incredible console

My DKC3 cartridge was broken when I was a kid, so the saves didn't hold. I had to replay the game from scratch and I've done it countless times as a result. The exploration aspect introduced into the maps, especially looking for the last caches when you get the helicopter, and the setting being so natural were what really got me. I liked DKC2's pirate theme, but its level archetypes were completely not my cup of tea, as I always preferred the more natural ones. DKC1 and DKC3 are probably a big part of why I love nature so much, lmao.
I have the opposite opinion on the OSTs from yours, though. I was already hating the GBA remakes when I got to DKC3's, but what they did to the music appalled me. DKC3's soundtrack might be my favorite in the trilogy because of the atmosphere it creates, and it got completely thrown out of the window in the remake. Water World is my favorite track from the whole series. Sure, DKC2's music is fantastic and 1's is good too, but DKC3's was on another level for me, because it sort of escaped just being confined to the game in my head. DKC2's soundtrack only makes me think of DKC2's dark piratey themes. Whereas DKC3's music makes me think of all the fun I've had as a kid in real life, exploring, going out in nature, etcetera. Basically you could say the music followed me outside the game. So the GBA remake pretty much induced a gag reflex and I never played much of it as a result (that and the absolutely horrendous overworld map graphics of it and DKC2).

I read somewhere that the same members of rare that made dkc 1 and 2 didn’t make this one. They were assigned to work on the new N64 games so basically lower level employees of rare made DKC 3.

The criminal thing I was never a fan of is bonus barrels being tied on safely escorting Parry to the end of the stage, one screw up in that bonus barrel and you have to restart the entire level

I actually really love the music in DKC3. Not as good as Tropical Freeze or DKC2, but still awesome

This game was my whole childhood. Well kinda, but it's probably the most nostalgic to me and is super important in my life. I played it on an emulator when I was about 3 or 4 years old. I live the graphics, the game play, the characters, the music, stages and sound effects. What makes it so nostalgic to me is that I played with it with my dad and watch him play the ones I can't beat. My dad loves imitating the Kremlin death roar and playing the belcha boss. Along with that, we jave played it in a house I lived in for only 1 year or 2. The game got corrupted and we never played it again. Every time I think about me playing that game, I think about that house and my dad. Every time I think of that house, I think of that game. I got it for the GBA but it wasn't the same. Later got myself a SNES and got DKC3 and my dad himself feels nostalgic and talks about how I loved the game. I see him light up when he sees the rare logo and hears the music the moment I turn on the game. He also would ask about Belcha and the Triantula boss level.
I'm a huge sonic fan and is obsessed with sonic. SA is nostalgic and a big part of my childhood, but it will not compare how big of an impact DKC3 was in my childhood and my dads early parenthood.

Eveline Novakovic (nee Fischer) was the exclusive composer for DKC3, and she has stated in interviews that she went for a more atmospheric sound for the OST reminiscent of Wise's Aquatic Ambience from DKC1, because it was her favorite piece from the previous games. Personally, I think it works for the third game. Unfortunately, because David Wise has been so lionized in the DK fandom for so long as "*The* DKC composer" (which is not to diminish his work in anyway), I feel Eveline is often not given the recognition she deserves. Hell, she composed many memorable tracks for DKC1, but to this day, many DKC fans still treat Wise as the sole composer for DKC1 and DKC2, while often disregarding Eveline's work because she composed DKC3 - "The Bad One", and because she's not David Wise, anything she does will never be as good. You can see it plainly in any comment section for a DKC3 video when the soundtrack for DKC3 comes up - someone will always bring up the DKC3 GBA port, and how it's the superior soundtrack because "Rare (or Nintendo) were smart enough to bring David Wise back to re-orchestrate the entire game".

I picked up a copy of DKC3 for Snes last year and it was better than I remembered and I thoroughly enjoyed it. DKC2 is still my favorite DKC game but I think I like 3 more than 1

This game is a gem! I love the soundtrack and everything about it. I appreciate every game of the trilogy. They’re all amazing.

I really like DKC3, myself. It's not as good as DKC2, but I can pick it up and play it anytime.

Possibly the best graphics of any game on the super Nintendo

DKC3 is a great game, people have just nitpicked it for not being DKC2.

Love your retrospective videos!

Might be my favorite game of all time. I don’t know if it’s nostalgia speaking but this game has everything that I want in a game.
