Review: The king of platformers - This game is simply one of the best in the platform genre. Its full of life, colour and a nice challenge for anyone who enjoys platformers. DK controls amazingly in this game. Very responsive as you traverse through these deceptively tricky stages that are so well crafted, and so beautiful to look at. Set pieces are plenty and all are accompanied by wonderful scores of music,both remix's of classics and new tracks to get you immersed in this world. Their are 3 other kongs to find as you play and each can change the way you play as well as help find all the secrets a stage has to offer. Finding all the KONG letters in every stage of every island will reward you with a challenging level even the most hardcore of gamers without ever feeling unfair. Though they are optional and not needed to finish the main game. This is a hard game and if you'd like an "easier" time then the new funky long mode is what you need. It doesn't make the game too easy as levels are identical but gives you more health and tricks to avoid death. Though he cannot partner up with the other kongs. Speaking of the other kongs you can have a player 2 join at any time which is great and is just the cherry on the cake of this fabulous game. Yes this has very little changed from the wii u version which you can pick up cheaper. But if you've not played this and want a wonderfully crafted, bouncy,fun and challenging experience I can think of no better game for this genre on the switch.
Review: One of the all-time great platformers - Top class platforming! Beautiful to look at, incredibly fun and addictive to play, but also deeply infuriating at times as the difficulty level increases. The big difference between this and the original game is that you can play as Funky King which makes the game a lot easier, eg you can float over spikes. This is great for kids. My son gave up on the original game when we had it on a previous console because it was just too tough for him. But this allows him to enjoy the game without wanting to hurl the controller at the screen. The boss levels are fiendishly difficult as before but patience is rewarded. The game is full of cute surprises and classic Nintendo humour. What's not to love?

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Hi is it a at least a 2 players game ?**
A: The WiiU version had full coop, I don't see why this one wouldn't. I just checked Nintendo's website and it seems to confirm this is a 1-2 player game.

**Q: Will this game become available on the 3DS?**
A: Its predecessor is out on 3DS, but this game will not be

**Q: Does this game have local co-op play? And if so, is it good?**
A: Hi,

Yes, this game has local co-op and it works perfectly. The game is brilliant fun although sometimes quite difficult, but they’ve added a new character into the Switch version with extra abilities which makes the game a lot easier if you choose to play as him.

**Q: Can this be played on nintendo switch oled**
A: Yeah, the Nintendo Switch OLED has the same chipset, and internals in general than the second revision, the only difference would be the OLED screen. You can play any switch game released previously.
