Do you think Donkey Kong Country games are still the best/some of the best snes games if you strip them from their beautiful graphics and music?

If you just had the gameplay and level design alone would they still be some of the best games?

"If you strip Donkey Kong Country of the things that made it good, would it still be a good game?"

The game you're describing wouldn't even be Donkey Kong Country anymore, it would be an entirely different game. A game is a sum of parts, you can't just extract essential portions from it and be left with the same experience.

Alright. How about "do you think the level design and gameplay alone really are some of the best on the snes?".
