This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

You fucking idiot
You absolute baffoon
Donkey Kong Country let 2nd player play at the same time as you
Yes, but... how likely do you think it is that Anon has even one friend?
Or a sibling for that matter
Wait, I thought you were only able to tag out or were forced to swap on death. Did me and my brother spend all that time taking turns when it was actually true co-op!? (Tbf, I was always Donkey, so this is more of a "him problem", but still!)
It looked pretty good for the time. Couldnt do real time 3D rendering and also be fast (StarFox was truly 3D; but iirc also ran at like 15fps and had to use a special chip in the cart to do that), so they compromised with sprites made from pre-rendered 3D models.
It also had great level design and memorable music.
You could start Starfox without the extra chip if you did some trick with the cartridge, but there were big black bits on the screen or something? It sorta worked but it sucked. I can't remember any more details than that.
The soundtrack is pretty good tho
My parents had a pretty good stereo, and I loved to just listen to the water level soundtrack.
I was just listening to this set sooner today. After hitting hard for an hour, she close with the water level soundtrack (58:30).
Mine Cart Madness was one of the best levels in any game fight me.
Oh my god
I played that not too long ago. The muscle memory is still there 😂😂😂
I remember the reviews of the first re release for the GBA, they were similar to this one from 4chan.
I played Donkey Kong Country on a Gameboy Colour (I had a SNES but never got the SNES version) and I thought it was one of the best games ever 😭 still remember tryin to get past that mine cart level lol
I always chose Diddy
I always feel like Diddy controls better than Donkey somehow (even though that's probably untrue), and the fact that he holds barrels in front means you can safely run forward into an enemy without getting hurt. That made all the difference to me as a kid.
Plus he wears a cool hat!
Diddy all day. His cartwheel felt so much snappier than Donkey's roll. I felt like I could jump farther with him.
I can’t stand most platformers, but particularly older ones. It’s maddening to play within such small visual areas. If I have to consistently guess what’s on the other end of a jump in a game about controlling my jumps, you’ve fucked up completely as a developer. Donkey Kong is awful at letting you know what exists in front of you within a timely manner.
