DKC Atlas Forum

This is the thread where you post different made-up ways you can tell if you are addicted to DKC.

1. When you buy every version of all three DKC's, and try to get a 101%/102%/103% file in under 1/2/3 hour(s) on all of them.
2. When you keep reseting your game because you want to listen/see the intro.
