#DONKEY KONG 3 SNES LIGHTNING LOOKOUT HOW TO#

DKC3 isn't as good as 2, with some hick-ups in their judgment of game design (like that last battle that makes no logical sense at all, nor is it fun figuring out how to do it). DKC2 got completely straight-faced and even the ending was poetic.īut they all got style. I hate the product placement of the N64 in the game, which, I wonder, Rare may have been slightly more interested in while developing this game.ĭKC1-still a good game-could be outright cumbersome Rare didn't even learn some game-design 101 by then, such as: Do NOT hide secrets in what could be deadly pits! (trial and error nonsense) And art design with objects looking like they were floating in space looked awfully bizarre.

Where DKC2 was the all-out epic, DKC3 ends the series with a more laid-back, 'anything goes' cadence. Lots of cool, varied design concepts, one of my favorites being playing as the spider for the whole stage while dodging a targeting retical that fires toward the screen. But it manages to get you into the DKC 'world' more than the previous games and make things interesting.Įssentially, with this game, if they didn't think of it in the first two games, they got it into this one. The GBA rerelease of the game replaced the entire soundtrack with a new one what a shame!ĭKC3 has some deceptively RPG-style item-fetching, which barely requires going out of your way more than usual aside from bringing the items you win to a character. The soundtrack isn't as legendary as the one from DKC2, but it does have some great songs. Most of these act the same, but it's still a bit strange. However, most of the now familiar enemies from DKC and DKC2 have been replaced with new ones.

The game's visuals are fantastic for the SNES, with very detailed backgrounds and effects on things such as water. A large trade sequence between them eventually gets you access to even more secret caves.

Also new are the Brother Bears - thirteen bears who all live in various places (both on the overworld map and on the smaller maps). On the overworld map you can also find secret caves and an entire secret world (see if you can find it!). Of course, you can gradually access more. This lets you access smaller maps that function more like those in the previous two games. Probably the biggest addition is the overworld map, in which you can move around freely (there are no 'set paths' you can walk on, you can literally go anywhere).
