All style with little substance

The Good
The pre-rendered sprites look good. Fantastic soundtrack. Levels look nice.

The Bad
Little point in finding bonus rooms if you don't care about 100% completing games. Boss battles are shallow with Dumb Drum being the worst offender. Difficulty can be frustrating especially when you don't access to save your game. Donkey Kong's hand slap move is worthless and you'll forget that you can use it throughout your playthrough.

The Bottom Line
Good starting point with the franchise, but the sequel is miles better.
