I grew up with a GBA and all the DK games for it. Sure, I wish it was all SNES. They make what they can. This port isin't as bad as everyone says it is. Some songs are better or worse. That's ok because it evens out somehow. I became obssesed with the series because I played the GBA, the only port that had DKC out at the time. I would have never discovered SNES if it wasn't for that. GBA got people of our generation into good games, saved some of us from 360 and PS3.Now some of us might playSNES
I have played it on the gba. Can you not CLEARLY see it is worse?? The same goes for tons of other Snes ports, so how the hell do you explain that. It's certainly not "a lot more powerfull" at all.
In Yoshi's Island, it has better graphics without the FX chip, the GBA uses full-motion video, each remake of the games, including this one, have shown to have better memory in the cartridges, many games do have better graphics and sound, the game engines take less space...
Do you even know what "more powerful" means? Or are you just expecting the sounds and graphics to seem EXACTLY like they were in the original?
@askjiir They make the tones darker or brighter for some people who just had the original GBA. The original GBA doesn't have a backlight, so making the game brighter helps.
And you can't really expect all of them to have better graphics because they are 16 BIT!!!
But sometimes the GBA can even do 32-bit. That's something the SNES could never do.
Honestly, I don't think this port is bad. All everybody does is expect a perfect port. Therefore, they bash all the music, new graphics, extra effects, some changes...good grief, how perfect did you want this? What's so wrong about the new map? What's so wrong with the changed noises? What's so wrong with an extra boss? WHAT'S WRONG WITH ALL OF THAT?
Wow what a horrible port of a great game. Mostly every thing I like about this game has be changed. Like the music, graphics, sound effects, Map screen, to much brightness, and having to pay banana coins to play the osses over agian.
@Theman789456123pgh like paying to fight bosses again, that's like on SNES and GBA for Super Mario Advance 2 Super Mario World. In the SNES version of that game, you can replay a castle level anytime by pressing L and R on the level at the map screen. But you can't do that in GBA. For GBA you have to beat the whole game first. Stupid...
I like the snes version more compared to gba. probably cuz of "leveled down" graphics. I wish they can release it on the DS which is proven to be more capable of handling the game.
plus they massacred the so melancholic and peaceful brumble music theme.
@Soylle Yeah, comparing GBA remakes to DS remakes, DS wins every time, like with Chrono Trigger's remake from SNES to DS, the game is still purr-fect, with many added cool stuff.
my rants about the GBA DKC2 1. bright screens 2. they screem like children instead of monkeys 3. EASYER!!! 4.added an acual battle on "strong hold show down" 5.MUSIC SUCKS! 6. has a LOT of stuff added to it making the game less enjoyable (hell, i'll even go with something with 1-bit graphics then play this!) 7. (see "()" on 6 8: people talk... witch sucks 9: sunset for rollorcosters? WTF!? (more to come)
well its normal that SNES version is better because GBA couldnt handle that,that was the case with super mario advance 3:yoshis island in the level touch fuzzy get dizzy they couldnt show the screen waving and all that other because the GBA couldn handle the Super FX Chip effects,but im sure the remake of DKC on Nintendo Ds would be good,because he could handle it and rare could make a use of the two screens but that time NDS wasnt out
well yes, this was on GBA, it wasn't entirely up to the task. when you say new gen, the DS could do the SNES versions perfectly. in fact, I'm pretty sure you can run SNES emulators on the DS.
if i were you i would invest and buy a SNES off ebay for like 30 bucks and buy the games also. the originals are so much better and having an SNES is a nice novelty
Yes! Yes! *hoping Nintendo will notice* A DS version with the same graphics as the SNES would rock sooo much! Except... What would be on the touch screen? ... Got it! It would be like New Super Mario Bros. It would Have a map of the level and would tell how much DK/ Kremling Koins you have. Nice Idea, huh?
@takanuva114 Same with Chrono Trigger for SNES. I have the DS version and the music is just about the same, sounds are slightly worse but acceptable, and the maps of the area are on the touch screen. Even the battle screens look exactly the same! Unless you change it to the DS battle settings, which are a little better for me...but yeah, Chrono Trigger is literally a PERFECT example of what you guys are talking about. I bet DS remakes are always better than GBA remakes of SNES games
@ShadowMew295 Yes it is good, but i didn't like the way they changed the map and added that giant orange weird kremling. But it is nothing compared to the original SNES version.
P.S. I don't remember if in this version they changed it, but the SNES version with riding on squawks, he doesn't get hurt if they ride on the brambles.
I don't see the reasoning behind the statement that the song was completely butchered. I mean, it's still the same song at heart, and the quality isn't that much worse. Unless you're super picky about that kinda stuff...
I'm much more concerned about the cannon sounds. They're way different from that satisfying classic DK Country barrel blasting sounds. And Dixie sounds like a ditz in this version when she gets hit..but I'm just nitpicking there!
Heehee. That was an AMAZING speedrun, for that one itty bitty banana at the end. Kinda made me giggle. X3 Nice job!
Now...I know everyone complains about this version, but I wouldn't if I were them. I mean, I think it's GREAT that we can get even just a replica of the original on a portable console. GBA did a FINE job considering that the graphics and sound quality on the SNES WERE supreme, and that this WAS a first attempt to compact a 16-bit catridge onto a handheld Nintendo system. :)
Bramble Scramble and Bramble Blast should switch names. Bramble "Scramble" looks like it means scrambling your brain. Bramble Blast scrambles your brain because it's more of a puzzle level than a platformer. Bramble Scramble doesn't scramble your brain like it says. Anyone agree about the scrambling?
I don't think it refers to your brain. They both refer to the movement. In Bramble Blast you're blasting around, and In Bramble Scramble you're scrambling to the finish. Wow...scramble is a weird-ass word.
I thought the music was pretty good and really liked the GBA game, possibly more then the SNES version (being able to save at any point may have been why). I don't know why everyone seems to hate it so much.
It suffers the same way most SNES-to-GBA games that Nintendo has ported have.
- Worser graphics
- Shittier sound
- All of the qualities of the SNES versions have been downgraded
- To make up for these shortcomings, new things are added. While that is normally good, in the case of all of the Nintendo ports, almost all of these additions feel universally out of place. Especially new sprites designed out of contrast to everything else in the game.
It lets you save at any point, which I think is a major plus. I thought the sound was just as good as the SNES game. On the other hand, the fact you have to pay to fight bosses again (even if you can get prizes for it) is annoying, and the new setup of Funky's Flights (the only place you can get the gryocopter ability from is the first world) is strange. Still, I did notice a small improvement in collision detection in the GBA game. Either way, though, both versions are great games.
I agree with you. The only thing i did not like of the GBA dkc2 was the diddy´s dash time attack mode. I prefered the DK attack, but this is a matter of tastes, because i am one of those "completophiles" who like to master and eprfect every level on every game, getting the highest grade. The DK attack mode reminded me of the Rank score system in the sonic games, that´s why i prefer it over Diddy´s dash.
Though, its a good port of the original, The new music score craps out, and the brighter enviorments chang the dark tone that I loved from the original. Still, preety good gameplay funtions, and the difficulty from the original is still there, 4/5
I think it's brighter mostly because of the old GBA itself. Circle of the Moon for example, was criticized because the game was too dark. About the sound... Well, it's the GBA. At least it's portable.
No... the GBA is sufficiently powerful. Far more powerful than the SNES. I just took a look at the tech specs for both systems, actually, and... yeah. The SNES is weeeeak old technology (not dissing it! I love the SNES!) compared to the GBA. So there's absolutely no reason why the bonus level music's bass line sounds like someone was improvising the whole thing.
Huh. Sounds like the GBA wins in the graphics department.
I can't find any details on the GBA's sound capabilities, but I know that the SNES has an 8-bit sound chip. 8 channels. I know the GBA is capable of more than that.
So... no, I'd say the GBA is all-around more powerful than the SNES. So no reason for the graphics and sound botching.
All SNES to gba ports have downgraded sound. Even a DS couldn't do this game perfectly because of the resolution difference. As for the crappy faded colors of the gba version compared to the deep, rich colors of the SNES version, I have no explanation.
I am sorry.. but instruments an octave higher, a really cheap lazy cut-off filter simulation effect (like 4 samples as opposed to Dave Wise's original 10+) and wrong chords do not constitute as a non-change in music... not even sequence-wise.
I was kinda joking when I wrote that. It was a reference to Banjo-Kazooie (and Banjo-Tooie), where in those games Gold Feathers DO make you invincible.
I grew up with a GBA and all the DK games for it. Sure, I wish it was all SNES. They make what they can. This port isin't as bad as everyone says it is. Some songs are better or worse. That's ok because it evens out somehow. I became obssesed with the series because I played the GBA, the only port that had DKC out at the time.

5. The main theme of the level is supposed to be kind of mysterious and dark. Not bright and annoying.
Thats 5 reasons to agree with you man.

Ill go with that theory instead.

yeah, you're totaly right. And all the awful added soundeffects and graphiceffects makes this port even worse.

I thought the music was pretty good and really liked the GBA game, possibly more then the SNES version (being able to save at any point may have been why). I don't know why everyone seems to hate it so much.

It suffers the same way most SNES-to-GBA games that Nintendo has ported have.
- Worser graphics
- Shittier sound
- All of the qualities of the SNES versions have been downgraded
- To make up for these shortcomings, new things are added. While that is normally good, in the case of all of the Nintendo ports, almost all of these additions feel universally out of place. Especially new sprites designed out of contrast to everything else in the game.
The only plus is the games are portable. Thats it

It lets you save at any point, which I think is a major plus. I thought the sound was just as good as the SNES game. On the other hand, the fact you have to pay to fight bosses again (even if you can get prizes for it) is annoying, and the new setup of Funky's Flights (the only place you can get the gryocopter ability from is the first world) is strange. Still, I did notice a small improvement in collision detection in the GBA game. Either way, though, both versions are great games.

I agree with you. The only thing i did not like of the GBA dkc2 was the diddy´s dash time attack mode. I prefered the DK attack, but this is a matter of tastes, because i am one of those "completophiles" who like to master and eprfect every level on every game, getting the highest grade. The DK attack mode reminded me of the Rank score system in the sonic games, that´s why i prefer it over Diddy´s dash.

@manvvv1234 Extremely hard levels always have beautiful music to invigorate you to beat em. I love that :)

I think I like this music more than the original, actually...

Though, its a good port of the original, The new music score craps out, and the brighter enviorments chang the dark tone that I loved from the original. Still, preety good gameplay funtions, and the difficulty from the original is still there, 4/5

I think it's brighter mostly because of the old GBA itself. Circle of the Moon for example, was criticized because the game was too dark. About the sound... Well, it's the GBA. At least it's portable.

well the GBA isint quite as powerful as the SNES so they had to cut at someplace.
Warrior536 4 years ago
um what
No... the GBA is sufficiently powerful. Far more powerful than the SNES. I just took a look at the tech specs for both systems, actually, and... yeah. The SNES is weeeeak old technology (not dissing it! I love the SNES!) compared to the GBA. So there's absolutely no reason why the bonus level music's bass line sounds like someone was improvising the whole thing.

dude i mean side of graphic and sound arent as good as on the SNES but the memory and speed is higher.
Warrior536 4 years ago
Well let's just compare, shall we?
SNES Max colors at once: 256
GBA Max colors at once: 32,768
Huh. Sounds like the GBA wins in the graphics department.
I can't find any details on the GBA's sound capabilities, but I know that the SNES has an 8-bit sound chip. 8 channels. I know the GBA is capable of more than that.
So... no, I'd say the GBA is all-around more powerful than the SNES. So no reason for the graphics and sound botching.
kaoskastle 4 years ago
well most snes game that were remade on the GBA had better graphic on the SNES so thats weird.
Warrior536 4 years ago
All SNES to gba ports have downgraded sound. Even a DS couldn't do this game perfectly because of the resolution difference. As for the crappy faded colors of the gba version compared to the deep, rich colors of the SNES version, I have no explanation.

The sound IS better! Anyway, this is one of the levels that the music HAS NOT changed. I agree with Warrior536.

best on the SSBB soundtrack
mgallegos55 3 years ago
I am sorry.. but instruments an octave higher, a really cheap lazy cut-off filter simulation effect (like 4 samples as opposed to Dave Wise's original 10+) and wrong chords do not constitute as a non-change in music... not even sequence-wise.

the music is ok, but i prefer the snes version.

me too, the snes version is better, but don't think the GBA one was butchered. People are letting nostalgia get in the way to much.

everyone knows the golden feather does not turn you invincable! It is for expresso's racing. OBVIOUS!
Dont take that badly.

I was kinda joking when I wrote that. It was a reference to Banjo-Kazooie (and Banjo-Tooie), where in those games Gold Feathers DO make you invincible.

when i was 4, i played banjo-tooie for the first time, i loved bottles and i cried when he died... lol i guess?
