Hit boxes are more ****ed than you remember. Or maybe it's cause we're playing on that new mini Super Nintendo that keeps all the games on it digitally.

Hit boxes aren't the kind of thing an emulator will screw up, so if they're ****ed when you're playing the game now, they were always ****ed.

Just replayed and beat all three games on the SNES like a month ago, and didn't have any issues. Hitboxes were fine. Rare was actually pretty lenient with them, and let players get away with minor brush ups against bad guys. Time your jumps so that you land on the enemy's head, not their face, always hold down the roll button to sprint (especially when you're flying around in the parrot stages), and keep on flexing against K. Rool.

The hitboxes are excellent in those games. I replay at least DKC2 yearly and it holds up as well as any 20+ year old game you will find

Like I said though, we aren't playing it from cartridge. For us it's either been really forgiving or really brutal. It's usually the birds though. Like a little pixel of wing would pop up from under a ledge and kill you. Much worse for Donkey Kong than for Diddy though.

I wish it hadn't been over two decades since I played a DKC game or else I'd have something to actually say. I can't even vote cause I don't remember how much I liked it.

Every time I get that mini game where you have to spell Kong with the barrels I always accidentally spell koon.

Making monkeys spell "koon" is ****ed up.

I can guarantee you probably enjoyed it. DKC was seriously fantastic for its time.

I know full well I liked it or I wouldn't have played so much of the first two and I'm pretty sure some of the third. I do not have vivid memories of the games at this point but I'm sure if I played them I'd start getting hardcore flashbacks.
