Sure they might not be as hard to kill as in the Country games (although they're still annoying to hit), but they now compensate for that by dropping grenades on your face while having the most irritating buzzing you'll ever hear from a videogame insect. Zingers are as bad as ever in this game.

Orangutans are the ONLY non-human primates, in Real Life, to actually enjoy water and swimming. Genius Bonus: Lanky Kong is associated with water.It's a screen-clearing attack that no Mook is able to resist, and its "ammo" can be easily restored by just finding Candy's headphones (which can be reused infinitely) or simply visiting Candy herself. Game-Breaker: The instruments trivialize all combat in this game.The DK Rap's lyrics are infamously and religiously utilized in a variety of parody songs or Youtube Poop music videos.Lanky Kong, the infamously goofy Orangutan who has become infamous for his portion in the theme song.His design as a creepy jack in the box with a suitable laugh and a decently fun boss pattern made him very memorable to players. Ensemble Dark Horse: Mad Jack is considered a highlight not just among the game's bosses, but the Donkey Kong franchise as a whole.They act as a Boss in Mook's Clothing due to their insane power (and a giant Kosha does appear as a sort of Mini-Boss in Crystal Caves). It's even worse that in later levels, Koshas are often found alongside other Koshas and/or in tight spaces where their infamous swing attack can most guaranteed a hit. These clubs not only deal two melon slices per hit (the most out of any regular enemy and even boss in the game), but can also reflect one of their only weaknesses, orange grenades, back at at Kong or simply out of the way. Not only are they tougher to take down even more than Kasplats, but what makes them a pain to deal with are the said clubs. Demonic Spiders: Koshas are well-known for their giant, spiked clubs.And it was impressive that Rare managed to fit a full-on rap song onto a Nintendo 64 cartridge. Over time, however, the song has developed a cult fandom for its endearing cheesiness and for being a good representation of the different Kongs. IGN and many other gaming publications were quick to call it one of the worst pieces of video game music ever made, and it was even used as ammunition by a number of Playstation fanboys in Console War debates. Upon the game's release, it was derided as one of the cringiest attempts at "hipness" to ever grace a video game. Critical Backlash: The DK Rap has gotten this over time.Others despise the game for its exhaustive collecting that takes up a huge amount of its gameplay, finding it bloated and and a poor disguise for the often wildly varying gameplay changes. Those who love the game praise the massive amount of content and charming humor, with the similarities to Banjo-Kazooie especially appealing to fans of those games. Contested Sequel: Easily the most divisive game in the Donkey Kong series.
