Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze

So I somehow managed to do 1-K on my second try with only DK....

I never actually beat it because the first time I went in there because I died halfway through from spikes and essentially ragequitted. I don't know if I should count my blessings or not....
 
Man I've wasted like 90 lives on 1-K. This game is bananas
 
I've been having trouble with 4-1. There are 7 puzzle pieces there, but I can only seem to find 6 of them. Even Squawks can't seem to pinpoint the location of this last puzzle piece, and it's really getting me annoyed.
 
i haven't been bothering getting the puzzle pieces

i try to get them if i can find them but i'll just pick the rest up on another run after i beat the game
 
I'm starting to wonder if 4-1 has a well-placed secret exit, as I've been asking myself if the last puzzle piece is located there.

Edit: Spoilers...

I've found 4-1's secret exit. I did have to backtrack to find it, and one of the puzzle pieces is found there as well.
 
This game's been keeping me away from the Boards... I'll post some pics and get the level pages on the wiki going soon.
 
I just unlocked Hard Mode................

Fun times ahead.............is what I would say if 7-2 and 7-3 didn't burn me out from the game. Seriously, those levels go way to long and 7-2 combines my hatred of Rocket Barrels with shitty unstable platform and Bopopolis jumping. If you sucked at Bopopolis, you'll suck at this world I'm warning you right now.
 
Just got it.

I hate having to be DK though he sucks. He can't even jump lol. (my sister is the other character :P )

Other than that it's awesome. Love the music and it's really gorgeous.

Gamepad controls feel kind of awkward. I keep rolling into spikes. Hopefully I get used to it.
 
My god the final boss is hard, already wasted like 10 lives. His hitbox is so small, you have to jump right between the shoulders. I can't even do it with extra hearts and 2 banana juices. Does he have a second form?
 
From peoples reactions to certain level of this game, I think this game will be the death of me.

I already had a bad taste in my mouth from Champions Road, now this?

It's way easier to get balloons if it counts.

And it wasn't easy to get lives in Super Mario 3D World? Lives are meaningless and totally irrelevant to a games difficulty. I was at 7-1 last night and surprisingly it was a good bit easier than the unlock able floating giant banana and oranges and exploding strawberry platforms from the original. But there is still a whole world like it to go. Without spoiling anything, all three Kongs are good partners for the final boss. Dixie is good because well, she's Dixie. Useful especially for getting some air when he raises the platforms in the air. If you come down too soon, you'll take an eternal lava nap in real life, or coming back hanging on a red balloon in this game. Cranky is useful for jumping over the boss safely, and don't underestimate Diddy. His left to right jet can get you a precise landing on the bosses back. Really the final boss in this game is most comparable to Thugly from dkcr, but on steroids. with all the difficulty and uncertainty of having to land on the back of an enemy charging head first at you, with tough as nails attacks to have to dodge throughout. He simply rapes the final dkcr boss in terms of difficulty.
