*** This makes sense when you consider that DK Island has a mountain high enough for the peak to be frozen. A mountain has to be spread over a ''much'' larger base than the size of a typical tropical island. So it follows that DK Island is ''not'' the size of a typical tropical island.

** That would actually go a long way towards explaining WHY K. Rool would want the bananas. An abundant non-perishable source of scurvy-fighting Vitamin C would be VERY attractive to a band of seafaring pirates.

** Where will he keep the key? It's not as if he has any pockets on him. And if your answer is "his house", I'll be forced to remind you that there's no lock (or door) on that, further complicating the key-storage dilemma.

*** Officially, they're eggs.



** The Blast-O-Matic was damaged by the crash shown in the intro, and the Kremlings needed time to repair it, so they stole the banana hoard, Golden Bananas and kidnapped all the Kongs besides Donkey to buy time. The Blast-O-Matic only became functional again when Hideout Helm was unlocked.

*** And even then, it was hardly functional. K. Rool just ordered the weapon be fired immediately so that it could go off before the Kongs could deal with it. All of the guys ''testing'' it said that it wasn't safe to fire, and could very well [[MadeOfExplodium go boom]] and kill them all.

* Will someone tell me how this is a "''[[SuperMarioBros Mario]]'' clone"? Besides the GoombaStomp, I don't see much similarities, and the GoombaStomp was a standard way of defeating enemies in platformers back then, so I think this is acceptable.

* Why doesn't Donkey Kong just buy a cage and pad lock for his banana's instead of leaving them in the open and not expecting anybody to steal them?

* Well we ever get a true DKC Platformer that isn't a gimmick game for a new system?
** More like "will we ever get a true Nintendo game that isn't a gimmicky game for the new system?"
*** Do you enjoy any of the new {{Sonic}} games? Your answer determines whether or not I can take you seriously.
*** Are you saying that ''SuperMarioGalaxy'', ''SuperSmashBros Brawl'', or ''{{Metroid}}: Other M'' are gimmicks?
**** Galaxy is founded entirely on a gimmick. And it is awesome for it. Other M looks to be going the same way.
** ''ALL'' video games are based around one kind of gimmick or another. Really the "genres" that people refer to(platform, shooter, beat 'em up, etc.) are just gimmicks to sell the games.
** To the original troper, no, probably not since Rare is owned by Microsoft now. There, was that so hard, you guys?
** Old, but needs to be addressed. Four Words: ''[[AndTheFandomRejoiced Donkey Kong Country Returns]]''.
*** It's made by a completely different team of people and it looks more cartoony and aimed at kids than DKC3. Plus, no David Wise. Don't get your hopes up.
*** Yeah but the new team is RetroStudios, the guys who made ''MetroidPrime'', a ''{{Metroid}}'' first person shooter, work. Plus, while it does look cartoony, despite the occasional darker elements, the DK series has been and is still aimed at kids. I think Retro will do a fine job.

***** Or Mario was [[YoungerThanTheyLook younger than he looked]] and (arcade) Donkey Kong and DK Jr. were [[OlderThanTheyLook older than they looked]].
***** It's most likely that they're ultimately all LegacyCharacters (both the DK AND Mario cast), much like the recurring cast in Zelda games.
