I always hated those mini-games because they interrupt my level progress. After you collect three and do the mini-game, you get taken to the beginning of the level! :(

Not if you've broken one of those checkpoint Star Barrels.

But it still takes you back through the level. If you get three of them at the end of a level, you'll be taken back to the checkpoint.

I guess it adds an element of challenge.

Hated that shit! I was doing Poison Pond from DKC1 recently and then I got to the shotcut near the end and collected the Expresso icon. I played the mini-game and I went back to the beginning of the freaking level!
 
Re: New Donkey Kong Country announced at E3

Yeah, three, but I lost them all to the freaking Snapjaws and Mincers!
 
Re: New Donkey Kong Country announced at E3

Getting extra lives isn't even that big of a deal in the original version of DKC because your number of lives always goes back to five when you restart the game.
 
Re: New Donkey Kong Country announced at E3

That's what I hate. I'm currently doing another playthrough and I didn't realize how hard Tanked Up Trouble is. And I found Dumb Drum to be 10x easier than Master Necky and Queen B...

Every life makes a difference in the game. You could be in the next level with your last life thinking "Darn, if only I had gotten a few extra lives before coming in here..."

I forget exactly how I fought against Dumb Drum, but I remember it took me forever. Master Necky and Queen B weren't too hard.
 
Re: New Donkey Kong Country announced at E3

All you had to do was kill the enemies it spawned. They were basic enemies too like Klaptraps and Slippas. Didn't lose a single life on him, but lost like 10 to Master Necky and 7 to Queen B. And the lives thing sucked. Lost hundreds to Rope Bridge Rumble and Ice Age Alley, so I had to restart from Snow Barrel Blast. Don't get me started on Elevator Antics though...
