I love this game so much! I wanted to play something with a happier tone than L.A. Noire so I popped in Donkey Kong. I beat the world 4 boss who is a mole on a giant mine cart. Then I played through the entirety of the fifth world, a forest. The normal levels were fun but overall, not very difficult compared to some others. Vines, spiders and carnivorous plants were a common sight. There was also a LOT of barrel shooting, some of it over very long distances. It looked really cool.
There was a very memorable level where a very large ant colony chases me through the entire level. Then, shit hit the fan. The bonus level, 5-K, was extremely difficult for me. I must have lost over 50 lives trying to get things right. There were a lot of barrels with difficult timing. There were also a few difficult jumping parts where I had to bounce on rubber tires and such. As much as I was frustrated, I loved every second of it. It works because the game is not cheap. Just like Super Meat Boy, when I die, I know why and that's rewarding.
Once I got through that (like an hour later), I beat the boss who was a breeze compared to what I had just endured. The boss was some kind of electric flying caterpillar. Enough said.
