Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest/YMMV
These things about Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest are subjective - not everyone will agree with all of them.
- Demonic Spiders:
- Cat-O-9-Tails, the annoying spinning Sonic-looking enemies. There's no telling where they'll throw you if they catch you, and more often than not it's into an obstacle or into a death pit. And that's assuming they actually throw you, since their janky hitboxes can lead to them simply hurting you instead.
- Red and grey Klobbers. Like with the green and yellow ones, they're fast-moving and are tricky to safely jump on. But while the weaker ones harmlessly bump you around with the yellow ones knocking your bananas away, the red ones run around in TNT barrels and will hurt you by exploding if they crash into you. As for the grey ones, they're often encountered in tight corridors and will take away your extra lives without you dying, meaning that unless you get away from one fast, you're likely to lose several lives in a matter of seconds.
- Lockjaws. They're vicious red piranhas who will gnash their teeth before rushing in to take a bite out of you. Their tracking is annoyingly accurate, they're often encountered either in tight spaces or with multiple enemies hanging around (sometimes other Lockjaws), and unless you have Engarde with you, you're not hurting them.
- Ensemble Darkhorse: Much like Diddy before her, Dixie's introduction in this game was met with open arms thanks to her cuteness and useful hover ability. Also like her boyfriend, she'd go on to be the star of the next game!
- Even Better Sequel: The first game was a solid outing in its own right, but most fans agree that this was the peak of the original trilogy: it controls even better, the levels are more diverse, the new animal buddies and bonus games are fun, and the addition of a bonus world is the cherry on top.
- That One Boss: King Zing can be this for some, thanks to his weak spot being awkward to hit while he can be awkward to avoid when he chases after you and shoots stingers after taking damage. Kreepy Krow is also this for his boss fight essentially being Bullet Hell-lite when you're having to avoid the giant eggs being shot at you while you chase him.
