May Retro Community Playthrough - Donkey Kong Country 1 & 2

[techwizard]

congrats retrorage! and oops, i forgot to update the final checkpoint last night but it's pretty straightforward, main post is updated now

Screech's Sprint is an odd level for me- reached it two days ago, died 15 times.  Today, I beat it within three attempts.  Of course, K.Rool has just killed me 10 times in a row....

The stretch from the second half of Gusty Glade to Windy Well was hell to do as a speedrun. With the exception of Arctic Abyss. I wish I was recording my Screech's Sprint run; it was immaculate, and on the very first try too. I could've done better overall, I think. This was fun! I'll see you in Shadow of the Colossus next.

Grrrrr I still havent finished DKC 1,  I never played it all the way through before,  thats what I get for being a Sega Fanboy.  my save has like 54% and 8 hours of play.  Im so just going to try and play DKC 2 later, Im ready for the June retro

[Raidou]

Beat the game with 30 mins left in May.  Kaptain K.Rool aboard the Flying Croc was deceptively difficult- MUCH harder than the other 2 games.
