* CreatorDrivenSuccessor: Despite the obvious comparisons to ''VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountry,'' it's worth noting that Playtonic [[https://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2019-06-08-playtonic-we-are-never-using-the-term-spiritual-successor-again have explicitly said]] that they consider ''The Impossible Lair'' to be its own distinct game, rather than a successor to Donkey Kong Country (Not that it stopped them from using [[https://twitter.com/PlaytonicGames/status/1180189019898032128 review quotes]] that directly compare the two in their advertising however).
