Donkey Kong Jungle Beat - Episode 1: Going Bananas

Описание: In today's episode of the "Jungle Beat" playthrough, we complete the Banana and Orange Kingdoms.

As much as I love all of the kingdoms in this game for one reason or another, in my personal opinion, the Banana and Orange Kingdoms are arguably two of the strongest. It's just that between the lack of risks, coupled with plenty of opportunities to rack up a ton of bananas. For example, if you're familiar with the controls and combo system, you can get around 1,000 bananas in the second level of the Banana Kingdom alone.
Though if you're playing the original GameCube version of the game, these big combo opportunities aren't a high-energy bonus, but rather a necessity because without them, you have no hope of getting all of the crests thanks to you needing 1,200 bananas instead of 1,000. In addition, in the original version, since your health was always tied to your banana total, there wasn't a 150 health-to-banana bonus that you could use as a safety net. But on the plus side, you weren't dying outside of a boss fight unless you went out of your way to do so. Not to mention, the clap in the original was a lot more lenient since it always radiated out all around Donkey Kong, rather than being direction-based like it is in the remake.
