Quite true. I was thinking the same thing while playing Banjo-Tooie recently. Our so-called “heroes” aren’t always that heroic, come to think of it. For example, murdering George and Mildred the sentient ice cubes…

It’s kinda funny how easily it is to flip the hero/villain roles in some games if you just it a bit of thought isn’t it?

That Squawks section in Animal Antics was just awful. It’s totally worth getting through the Lost World and everything, but it did put me through a great deal of mental anguish in order to do so. Animal Antics is typically paired with a lot of yelling at the TV for me.

And interesting thoughts…the Kongs could indeed be worse than the Kremlings, considering their crimes against the crocodiles are a lot more severe. The Kremlings steal a few bananas, which grow on trees and aren’t all that valuable, and the Kongs sink their island and destroy their…possible life force thingy. Maybe the Kongs are the villains, after all….

The Lost World levels were some of the toughest in the series, but were a real treat in some ways too. I absolutely love the theme for the jungle stages in the Lost World, they were just so different from the rest of the themes you know? Toughest by far had to be Animal Antics, but only because of the windy Squawks the Parrot section.

That’s an interesting theory about that glowing energy. I always thought of it as something akin to the island’s power source (though why an island would need a power source, I could never tell). It would make sense as a life-force depending on the chronology of the DK games though. Also, if it was a life-force, then wouldn’t destroying it make DK way worse than the Kremlings? They did take his bananas (…and kidnapped him), but is that an offense worth total annihilation?

That level horrified me. I never enjoy lava levels, though.

I liked Fiery Furnace, but, yeah, stressful is a great word for it.

The Lost World just felt…strange and mysterious to me. Though, I don’t know if it was meant to feel as meaningful as it does, or if I’m just weird. I’m probably just weird. The levels were pretty crazy in that world, too. I hated Fiery Furnace. It was terrible! Not as difficult as Animal Antics, but it was still pretty stressful.

I had never thought of it that way, but I guess you are right about it giving the game more meaning. Besides, the levels are also really fun, including the brutal Animal Antics.
