SMW has it's flaws too:
Why do mushrooms make you big?
Why do feathers give you a cape that allows you to fly?
How does a flower allow you to throw fireballs... without getting burnt?
Not all video game physics have to make sense.

With the possible exceptions of Shigeru Miyamoto (who's too humble to do it) and Sid Meier, there isn't a designer in this industry who's good enough to put his name in front of the title of his game.

Yeaah... Ocarina of Time had similar quality visuals to Super Mario 64, haha. The only games that really stood out visually on the N64 were also by Rare.
The only real gripe I can personally see about DKC's gameplay is that the game was too short. I think the secret bonuses were a really nice touch, though.

Who cares if other people think its overrated? They can play their games, and I'll sit here and play DKC in piece. I don't need everyone to like something just so I can enjoy it.
Jomingo wrote:Well, I can see the complaint about it being too short(it's sequels certainly fixed that though), but I think that Super Mario World is too long. I've still never completed super Mario World. There are some people out there who don't want to spend 40+ hours on one video game. You might call them lazy, but some people are like that.
You must be joking. The main problem with Nintendo now is that their games are too short.
