Description I'm not sure WHAT Mugly is, but it's apparently time for him to dine.

As stoked as I am about this game, I can't help but wonder just how far removed from the original series DKCR is going to be. Probably nothing like SMB2 was in the SMB series, but still pretty far out there.

...or maybe not.

Wouldn't THAT be a real kicker?

I loved this game. Pretty beautiful and fun, only I though it was quite easy. Though I mean, I'm not 6-7 years old compared to DKC1, so I guessed that's why.
Rebattling this boss was a pain in the a**!

Love the view, the expressions! This is adorable!

Aww, thank you! I'm very happy how this turned out.

DKCR is a wonderful game, but it's definitely my most difficult DK game!

Mugly is a horn toad I believe. You fight another version of this species later in the game.

kjsteroids In reply to Wardogblacky [2011-01-21 20:04:20 +0000 UTC]

It's the most fitting name, that's for certain.

I just fought the second incarnation of the guy last night--that horn's a stinger!

Hopefully, it won't be that different. It was rumored that the game would be harder than the original three, but not sure how true that is.

Oh, it's hard. Don't worry about that.

It's also fun as hell. If you liked the original games, you'll enjoy it, I guarantee.

Mugly looks on your picture quit better than in the original game. In the game it looks like a pokemon mixed with a spiny from Super Mario, but in your picture he/she looks like a dinosaur.

Just like I said, the original looks like an ugly Marioboss mixed up with a new pokemon. But your's looks like a cartoon dinosaur. Much better, really, really better....

DynamiteManEXE [2010-07-12 02:24:53 +0000 UTC]

I just hope K Rool will be there.
And hopefully under a new moniker.

Maybe it will be Tiki related.
After all, K Rool often fell behind in themes.

He was a king on a pirate ship.
He was a pirate over a castle.
He was a mad scientist in a volcano.

So, a tiki may be the next one after all.

kjsteroids In reply to DynamiteManEXE [2010-07-12 06:32:46 +0000 UTC]

True; with all the other old-fashioned HQs K. Rool's had, disguising as a tiki (perhaps inside some old temple) wouldn't be at all surprising.

Joshiyoshi64 [2010-07-11 00:34:14 +0000 UTC]

Hmmm. This game is becoming sort of a mixed-bag for me....

On the one hand, we have lots of real DKC elements, two players can play simultaneously, and all of the music is remixed (I think).

But on the other hand we've got no underwater levels, and no Kremlings.

I just remind myself that we still don't know that much else about the game.

I dunno, maybe we will get K.Rool and the kremlings. Maybe Retro has something up their sleeves....

I hear ya on that; there are just so few details to go off of right now! And I'm hoping it stays that way until its release. I reaaaaaly want to be surprised by this game!

PlanetGame [2010-07-09 13:47:01 +0000 UTC]

I actually don't mind the tikis replacing the Kremlings, to me the tikis look just as cool as them. But I hope there are going to be different types of Tikis in the game with each one doing its own special thing like the Kremlings.

Who knows, maybe King K. Rool will be in the game dressed as the tiki master or something.

Joshiyoshi64 In reply to PlanetGame [2010-07-11 00:37:19 +0000 UTC]

I'm starting to grow fond of the tikis as well, but yeah, I hope we'll see the kremlings and K.Rool.

Maybe Retro is planning something, who knows?

I don't mind the tiki-themed enemies either; yes, as long as there is a big ol' slew of different ones doing their own thing.

And I expect there will be.

Hi, thanks for the !

The yellow guy's name is named Mugly, and appears to be one of the tiki bosses in DKCR. As for the actual species of this creature: I don't think anybody knows that yet.

Cammiluna [2010-07-02 16:10:03 +0000 UTC]

And we can start worrying about changes going too far when the game is released and it turns out to be about DK and Diddy running over Tiki monsters while driving a scrap-compiled buggy they made by themselves at Cranky's Cabin!

How do you know this game is terrible? This game is not even released yet. Did you built a time machine and went to the future and played the game or what?

Chucha616 In reply to PlanetGame [2010-07-10 21:46:48 +0000 UTC]

I have seen all the trailers, game play and official vode, and mobility, as well as the style is exactly like jungle beat, and rarely am wrong in terms of predictions about a game before its release
[link]

I propose something:
if the game is a good like Donkey Kong Country, I tell you you were right and makes a great reference to the game DKCR pic, but if the game sucks just like a "jungle beat" but without bongos, you'll say simply that I was right

but if game is not like DKC or jungle beat the deal is canceled
you think, accept the deal?

PlanetGame In reply to Chucha616 [2010-07-16 12:40:41 +0000 UTC]

I'm not saying anyone's right or wrong, I'm saying you shouldn't bash the game just yet.

I've also seen screenshots and trailers, and even actual gameplay, and to me it's just like DKC with new things added to it. And that's good because it's something new and I'm willing to try new things. DKJB almost had nothing to do with DKC. At least in DKCR Donkey Kong can simply jump on the enemies to defeat them unlike in DKJB where he slaps the crap out of them.

Chucha616 In reply to PlanetGame [2010-07-16 21:52:25 +0000 UTC]

one of the things I liked the DKC was that they were all based on real animals (crocodiles, wasps, monkeys, apes, dragonflies, etc), played very natural, you know, kick, jump,. swimming and running, with their traditional buttons, not to mention the super cool Dave Wise's work in the background music, and the European humorous style (personally I like the European humor), the fact of holding and throwing things at enemies , And the truth, hatred seems chipance diddy and dixie glue seems diddy-eyed amy rose, I prefer the old design, when diddy and dixie seemed monkeys and chimpanzees, but it never came back, is as What happened to the game "urchid" (well that I think)

The Wiimote makes a formidable "classic controller" when held horizontally. And luckily, DKCR will have an option that allows exactly that.

But yeah, that was one of my concerns as well. I'm going to want to go old-school with this game.

CartoonGurra [2010-07-01 08:59:46 +0000 UTC]

Nice drawing! Yeah I'm really excited about DKR, but I don't what to think about the Tikis. I mean the kremlings are just to good to get rid of.
But hopefully this wil be good. I heard the developwrs are great fan of the series and have played every dkc game

kjsteroids In reply to CartoonGurra [2010-07-02 02:30:21 +0000 UTC]

My impression of DKCR is that it does a good job capturing the essence of DKC even with that tiki theme going on.

But either way, having a development team that cares about the series alone's a mark of a good game to me.

Here's to hoping!

And.. I alwas like dthe villains more. Bowser I like more than Mario, King K. Rool I like more than DK, King Dedede I like more than kirby.
