getting your comment is all we've been talking about for days HAHA thank you SO much for your incredible compositions that inspired this video and that were such a huge part of my childhood - it wouldn't have been the same without you!!
Love the extra attention to detail, dressing up as Diddy and Dixie, the mannerisms, and even chewing gum as Dixie. Wonderful performance all around. DKC2 has such a fantastic soundtrack.
I love this;it’s a great tribute to the genius of Dave Wise. My dad was a studio engineer/producer and professional musician,had no care for video games but stopped in his tracks walking past the family tv as I was playing donkey Kong when I was 4 years old. Absolutely intrigued,he exclaimed: “wow,the music is fantastic!”
@@sebastienbeaulieu4070 the weird thing is in the prototype it was called Diddy Kong's Quest......and then for some reason they decided to make the title a pun. It took me about 20 years to realize this, I was always calling it "Kong's Quest" my whole childhood
Esta música es de un mundo mágico es totalmente impresionante, al cerrar los ojos me transporto por el tiempo y me recuerdo cuando aún era un niño y tuve mucha horas de entretencion con estos juegos, ahora al escuchar la música me doy cuenta que fueron creadas con mucho amor son tan inmersiva y disonantes que no parecen de este mundo, son sensacionales y producen muchas emociones, tu interpretación es sensacional hermosa ❤❤❤.
It's crazy how with such limited hardware David Wise created such a masterpiece. You can also feel the impact of all the sound effect that David put in his compositions, like Klomp's Romp is perfectly played here, but without the sounds of the wind and the boat craking it feels like 2 different songs. Thank you for this, for a few minutes here I was back in 1995 .
funny enough, the music was made with the same method as the graphics: prerendering. Basically David Wise made the songs on a synth of his choosing, then added ambient sounds to the music itself with the help of a computer, and then compressed it all to fit onto a SNES cartridge. The limitations themselves were more literal than anything else. Not to say they weren't impactful on the music itself, but bro wasn't creating the songs with a synth hooked up to the SNES or anything, just composing elsewhere and shoving it onto the cartridge when he was done. Pretty sure this is how all SNES music was made though, hence why all the iconic Nintendo games have their own unique soundfonts, and also is why Tim Folin is considered a technical genius: for doing so much with so little and still leaving room for more on the table when he was done. Plok's OST uses only 5 of 8 available channels, for example.
@@ByrneBaby No. The SNES was my synth of choosing - written directly to the Snes using my sound-set.. There was never any synth it was pre-made on.

@@David3Wise that's amazing, I get really happy each time this type of information (perfect for trivia!) is confirmed by the actual developers. Thank you so much for your work, your compositions will forever stay as a dear part of my childhood.
I normally prefer the synthetic sound over live instrument covers but this really won me over. This was way better than I expected it to be and the improvised side sounds was great too!
This video made tears come out of my eyes. I remember saving up my allowance for months to buy this game. I even had a coupon for the game that I cut out of a flyer and slept with the coupon under my pillow. I played the game all the time, and then when I got older my SNES ended up in my grandparents basement. Whenever my cousins and I got together we would all sit around the old tv set in the basement and play Donkey Kong Country 2 together. These are the sounds of my grandparents house, the sounds of my childhood, and the sounds of being together with my family. I love what you have done in this video more than I can ever put to words. Thank you.
All 3 DKC games had absolutely amazing music, but 2 is my favorite by miles. Goosebumps every time. You have a God-given talent for piano playing, wow so good! Love it very much thank you for making these videos
Stickerbush Symphony. A track always guaranteed to unlock a core part of me. That achey inner child. The sound of innocence, longing, and and unholy crap ton of brambles. I loved the way the clouds floated by so softly in contrast to the infinite thorns. Great rendition. Loved all the little details of the production as well.
i knew the song as bramble blast cos that was what it was called in smash brothers brawl, i thought they had left it out of their medley but seeing your comment made me think to check under the other title

DKC 2: Diddy's Kong Quest might be one of the very few perfect video game soundtracks ever composed. Thank you so much Kara for sharing your talent with the world and doing this soundtrack justice. Long may your Banana Hoard continue to grow.
The game itself is incredible too. It's one of the most mechanically satisfying games on SNES, with maybe the tightest, most responsive controls. Only other contender I can think of is Megaman X. Great music in that game as well.
the thing that blows my mind is how an organ can make both stately and beautiful sounds and alos, creepy kremling pirate sounds. What a cool instrument
I'm a casual fan of yours, so I was blindsided by this masterpiece this morning. As someone who grew up with the DKC trilogy as a kid, this soundtrack reserves a special place in my heart, and you absolutely crushed it. The little details like the hand-drumming in Klomp's Romp and the glass tapping in Mining Melancholy made me smile. Thank you!
Blindsided by a good video of mine? not sure if I should take that as an insult or compliment!! XD hahaha I'm just kidding, I'm glad you ended up loving it :) forest interlude, krooks' march and hot head bop are favorites of mine!
Krook’s March is so under appreciated. It’s synonymous with the hero’s journey in four parts: Part One: Starts with this menacing theme to signify the daunting task/journey ahead Part Two: Leads into hardship and obstacles laying in the path Part Three: Leads into hopelessness/ despair. Ready to give in Part Four: Then the reset/inspiration leading into a triumphant/hopeful march towards their goal. Absolutely baffles me…
DKC2 arguably had the best soundtrack in the DKC series. This was my childhood here. I always go back and play through this game every now and again :D
So amazing! Reminds me of my sister playing DKC2 back in the days on SNES. My brother and I got the N64 when it came out and we gave the SNES to my sister like "here, take this old stuff huehue." and she grinded the shit out of DKC2. She was so good at this game
HAHAHAHAH love that story 😂 that’s like when we got a ps4 and my brother was trying to get me to switch over from the wii to play assassins creed. But I got beastly good at Mario kart wii because I just played for hours and hours 😂
Thank you youtube algorithm thank you so much for suggesting me this masterpiece!! I teared up from the nostalgia. I'm 39 and my hairs on my hands are looking at the sky. Youre amazing Kara Comparetto for your talent and passion!!! All the love from Greece, keep it up!!! Just beautiful...
Knowing your creativity, both overt and subtle, I never would have doubted as much! This was EVERYTHING, congratulations, and thank you, again! ❤️ ♥️ 💜
Wait, their both the same girl? I have a hard time telling the real people apart so this totally fooled me. Saddens me though that she had to play both parts by herself.
@@PDIcomics Hm? It seems like you don't have the mental capacities to muster up the required reading comprehension skills to understand the statement I made.
Now that I have watched the whole thing, Absolutely stunning! Clearly made by someone who loves the game! Love the outfits, the music, the energy you bring, the different characters you play! I loved how you added the dueling piano's vibe to Snakey Chantey.
It is not discussed enough just how amazing these soundtracks were. Iconic piece after iconic piece, there's a reason I still play DK Country 1-3 to this day. Great playing as usual!
Words cannot describe how much of an impact the DKC2 ost had on my childhood. Each piece is unique and perfectly encapsulates the vibe of the different worlds we find ourselves in. You have your swamp, mine, dungeon, forest, pirate ship, ice, underwater and volcanic levels, and so many more. David put his heart and soul into each track. Awesome homage!
This game and entire series has some of the best OST in Nintendo history! It’s almost amazing how every song plays a part of the gimmick the game was in.
Ok, this whole performance has been incredible but then as soon as you got to the Enchanted Woods/Web Woods (one of my favorites), I was like oh man, how is she gonna pull this one off when you can't slide notes with piano and organ, but then YOU STILL MANAGED TO MAKE IT SOUND SO AMAZING. It literally brought tears to my eyes. Incredible organ work in that one. Loved the forest footage you used at the end, too. ❤
thank you so much! I love when people point that one out because it's my favorite in the set alongside Krook's March. Such a good track and the organ makes it sound so good!
I am crying while listening. That's because this is the game of my childwood and I still play it sometimes nowadays. I am 37 years old now. This music touches always my heart, my soul and my feelings so deeply. And your great interpretation not only on the piano, but on every aspect of the scene you made with this scenario...wow. I am crying also for your deep and trustful interpretation. Thank you. I subscribe right now and I'll follow you to be updated. Be careful, you make people fall in love
Aaahhhhh que SUPER NOSTALGIA NIVEL HARD EXTREME que maravilha. Ainda existem pessoas com bom gosto de musicas e ost de videos games clásicos. Amei cada segundo do video👏🏼🥰♥️ Saudações 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Started crying @9:33 Made think about how I used to be a kid and play this with my older brother. Such amazing times. You brought back so many memories, I love all your videos!! I especially love sending these videos to my older brother, because he immediately replies with I KNOW!!! SHES SO GOOD I JUST WATCHED THAT ONE!!! Everyone reading this, please cherish all the time you have, no one is promised tomorrow, don't leave things unsaid! Love your vids Kara, you're amazing and inspiring!!!
Aw that's so sweet! I used to play with my older brother all the time, we would take turns going back and forth- he would always get way ahead of me because I would die more haha!
As an absolute (borderline obssesive) fan of the game and more particularly of its soundtrack, I really loved your arrangement. The timbre of the organ fits perfectly and it adds a surpising layer of melancholy : "Bayou Boogie" left me speechless. It reminds me of a simpler time, it reminds of my mom who offered me this game. Man do I miss her and this time period. Thanks a lot
Kara, thank you so much for these emotions! You took me back to my childhood. This was my absolute favorite game on SNES. Such warm and wonderful memories. I even teared up. 🌟 Incredible performance on the instruments and amazing artistry! I especially want to highlight the stage costumes of both characters-simply stunning! 🎭 Right in the feels! Bravo! 👏❤️
Fantastic music and production! I can tell you and David put a lot of work into this one. Everything from the music arranging and performance to the costumes and video editing was spot-on. I love the added percussion as well. You hit a home run with this one Kara!
The leap across at 18:50 and the Stage Clear had me cracking up 😂 This soundtrack has been stitched in my head ever since childhood. Thank you for this very entertaining performance 🙏🐵
With DKC 2 being my favorite in the game trilogy, it was so cool seeing these songs played live! Thanks so much for the hard work it must have took to make it happen!
_"... to record the COMPLETE soundtrack, to use in a modded version of the game, ..."_ COOOOOL, so can we expect a full MSU pack for this? That'd be *AWESOME!* Being super excited for the premiere! 😍
This series of SNES games were one of the ways I'd relax after getting home (because I'd mastered the levels by replaying). Now years later listening to this medley I can feel myself relax too 😌
Kara I love how weeks after the video came out you still read and Like and reply to all the new comments every day. The PDIComic one was my favorite. And I’ve been reading the new comments every day myself as someone who loves your work and this video most especially. You poured your heart and soul into this, and it took you years of practice and dedication to not only become so skillful at the piano but to also build your creativity and your strikingly amazing stagecraft. So therefore it makes sense that you want to read everything your fans and viewers have to say about this masterpiece. This video also got way more views than most content creators will ever get for a video in their entire lives. And you deserve every one of them and more. You’re such a genuine and stand-up woman.
I just posted a new video and hardly keeping up with these comments now but I'm trying! I'm also recording the complete undertale soundtrack this week so im quite busy haha! Thank you, and I'm glad you notice those little things!!
I don't know what to write exept for: for me, it's absolutly nostalgic and perfect, organ and piano fit incredibly good, and my favorite video game songs of all time are played here. So, thank you.
this was made with SUCH care!! an amazing work 💙 not just the interpretation of songs but also the setup, editing, even matching outfits!! I'm enjoying it very much, thank you ✨
Even though I watched most of these as individual releases, watching the compilation is still just as breathtaking. I love how emotive your face is. StickerBush and Hot head bop are both stand outs
I have heard COUNTLESS covers of the DKC2 soundtrack and they're ALL amazing. Some are your popular remixes with all kinds of techno inspirations. Some are FULL ORCHASTRAL arrangements. But never have I heard such a "simple" cover like this - piano and organ that FULLY captures all the heart and brilliance of the music like you two ladies did here. I LOVE IT. I was smiling the whole time - and if I wasn't physically smiling, my HEART was alive as I worked on my video game project with your music in my ears. I LOVED THIS SO MUCH!!!! Thank you for delighting my evening!!

Hey Kara... I can't thank you enough... thank you for this... My mind traveled back many years, and many good and affectionate memories came up. This is more than just music... What you did was wonderful, and it touched me deeply. I needed this, thank you very much. A big kiss from Brazil
Kara, I didn’t leave my own unique comment when this first came out because I was so at a loss for what to say. Nothing I can conjure up will do you any justice, but I’ll try and speak from the heart. I’ve listened practically every night since you’ve uploaded this resplendent gem. This video was your all-time greatest masterpiece for RUclips. There is no classic video game for the SNES that evokes this degree of nostalgic gaiety and pure bliss of DKC2. And for good reason. The music was the most beautiful ever put to a video game. I still don’t know, almost thirty years later, how David pulled off his tour de force, but it will touch my heart forever. If a night is lonely and cold, your renditions (and more broadly, my reverie of the DKC2 soundtrack in totality) are like being kissed by a sunrise. If you ever meet David in person, he owes you a gigantic hug and you owe him the automatic reciprocation of that hug from yourself and symbolically from all of us. ❤
Well this was so sweet and kind, thank you, I hardly know how to respond back! Thank you for your thoughtful message- it means so much to me! I would love to give David Wise a hug hahahahhahahahha
Kara's passion for the Donkey Kong series is second to none. Absolutely amazing renditions; it's crazy how timeless this soundtrack of this game is. David Wise is genius and it always blows me away how he managed to compose these masterpieces by reverse engineering the whole process to fit within the SNES soundchip. I looooved the costumes too, haha. The ending of the video with the Diddy impression caught me completely offguard. Got a hearty chuckle out of me. I love you, Kara. Never change.
Thank you for reminding me so much of my childhood, the best game in the Donkey Kong Country saga without a doubt. They make an excellent duo, amazing performances. I loved the detail of the sound with the mine level glasses. Greetings from Argentina. Felicitaciones!
I just turned thirty five and this put a huge smile on my face. I can't tell you how many times I've played through the original DKC trilogy with my brother. I got both DKC 2 and Mega Man X3 for Christmas in 95' and I still have them. Man does time fly. David Wise is my all time favorite game composer and I love your rendition!
It's beautiful that you have this talent, listening to the songs from this game that marked our childhood. I really thank you for so much talent that you two have.
I rarely comment on youtube videos, but this is pure brilliance. You ignited new life into the best gaming soundtrack of all time, and gave it complete justice. You spared no detail. I thank you for doing this... just, incredible work.

thank you!! The source material was more than enough to get inspired for these arrangements... just genius stuff!
This game and entire series has some of the best OST in Nintendo history! It’s almost amazing how every song plays a part of the gimmick the game was in.
You wanna make me cry?! This is amazing!
I know right!
I love making grown men and women cry LOL!
@@KaraComparetto it’s like a super power 😆
Very kool 🐊
Gotta say she Krushed it.
@@reidatherton7743 Kara delivers Krushing Blow! 🥊
LOL
Nice.
Kara-zy Good
You reignited my lost childhood with this beautiful rendition. Thank you.
oh wow thank you Charlie! thanks for supporting the music and helping me continue to make more!!
Ok, this whole performance has been incredible but then as soon as you got to the Enchanted Woods/Web Woods (one of my favorites), I was like oh man, how is she gonna pull this one off when you can't slide notes with piano and organ, but then YOU STILL MANAGED TO MAKE IT SOUND SO AMAZING. It literally brought tears to my eyes. Incredible organ work in that one. Loved the forest footage you used at the end, too. ❤
thank you so much! I love when people point that one out because it's my favorite in the set alongside Krook's March. Such a good track and the organ makes it sound so good!
思い出が蘇ります
Pensei a mesma coisa... saudades..
I am crying while listening. That's because this is the game of my childwood and I still play it sometimes nowadays. I am 37 years old now. This music touches always my heart, my soul and my feelings so deeply. And your great interpretation not only on the piano, but on every aspect of the scene you made with this scenario...wow. I am crying also for your deep and trustful interpretation. Thank you. I subscribe right now and I'll follow you to be updated. Be careful, you make people fall in love
thank you so much for this, it means a lot to me!!
David Wise is one of my heroes, and you've done beautiful justice to this game's soundtrack. Caught myself humming along with you. Bravo!
thank you!!
Damn that Stickerbush symphony hits deep, Beautiful job
Beautiful
Fantástico! Sem palavras! Saudações brasileiras de quem passou uma infância jogando Donkey Kong 2!
Aaahhhhh que SUPER NOSTALGIA NIVEL HARD EXTREME que maravilha. Ainda existem pessoas com bom gosto de musicas e ost de videos games clásicos. Amei cada segundo do video👏🏼🥰♥️
Saudações 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
que legal da sua parte, obrigada pelo elogio e por curtir o vídeo!
Esto es hermosa ❤...
Regrese a mi niñez....
Hermosas con mucho talento...
Tienen un gigante like 👍
Seu vídeo e talento são incríveis e essa trilha sonora de DKC2 é simplesmente maravilhosa, me senti como se estivesse jogando novamente!
Amazing! Stickerbrush Symphony for the win!
This was great! Nice job you two.
What’s up Paul! You seem to be everywhere I am these days, lol. Man of good taste.
That’s right. Great minds think alike!
Started crying @9:33
Made think about how I used to be a kid and play this with my older brother. Such amazing times. You brought back so many memories, I love all your videos!!
I especially love sending these videos to my older brother, because he immediately replies with
I KNOW!!! SHES SO GOOD I JUST WATCHED THAT ONE!!!
Everyone reading this, please cherish all the time you have, no one is promised tomorrow, don't leave things unsaid!
Love your vids Kara, you're amazing and inspiring!!!
Aw that's so sweet! I used to play with my older brother all the time, we would take turns going back and forth- he would always get way ahead of me because I would die more haha!
As an absolute (borderline obssesive) fan of the game and more particularly of its soundtrack, I really loved your arrangement. The timbre of the organ fits perfectly and it adds a surpising layer of melancholy : "Bayou Boogie" left me speechless.
It reminds me of a simpler time, it reminds of my mom who offered me this game. Man do I miss her and this time period. Thanks a lot
thank you, Im sorry about your mom
Kara, thank you so much for these emotions! You took me back to my childhood. This was my absolute favorite game on SNES. Such warm and wonderful memories. I even teared up. 🌟 Incredible performance on the instruments and amazing artistry! I especially want to highlight the stage costumes of both characters-simply stunning! 🎭 Right in the feels! Bravo! 👏❤️
Fantastic music and production! I can tell you and David put a lot of work into this one. Everything from the music arranging and performance to the costumes and video editing was spot-on. I love the added percussion as well. You hit a home run with this one Kara!
thank you Greg, and thanks for commenting before 1000 hahahah! :)
Thank you!! For making these beautiful covers!
This game (and it's music) are burned into my memory from childhood. This makes me want to cry. ❤
Thank you, let the tears come!
The leap across at 18:50 and the Stage Clear had me cracking up 😂 This soundtrack has been stitched in my head ever since childhood. Thank you for this very entertaining performance 🙏🐵
Bravo. Enchanted Woods and Snowbound Land are 2 favorites and you play them so beautifully 🙊
Thank you so much Matthew!
This is some great music to monkey around to!
With DKC 2 being my favorite in the game trilogy, it was so cool seeing these songs played live! Thanks so much for the hard work it must have took to make it happen!
_"... to record the COMPLETE soundtrack, to use in a modded version of the game, ..."_
COOOOOL, so can we expect a full MSU pack for this? That'd be *AWESOME!*
Being super excited for the premiere! 😍
Yes! I just randomly decided to do it... and I have someone who offered to work on it so it's coming soon! I'll let you know :)
@@KaraComparetto LOL, I can't tell why, but I somehow "smelled" it! :D
Awesome idea and project, Kara!
@@KaraComparetto P.S. Random ideas/decisions sometimes are simply the best. ^^
That's so cool. Cant wait to play it 😊@@KaraComparetto
@@KaraComparetto wait seriously?! do you mean a romhack that'll have your piano instead of the 8 bit tracks?
This series of SNES games were one of the ways I'd relax after getting home (because I'd mastered the levels by replaying). Now years later listening to this medley I can feel myself relax too 😌
Iuyuu889l68
Given how fiendishly hard the game was, I applaud you for memorising all of these levels
Kara I love how weeks after the video came out you still read and Like and reply to all the new comments every day. The PDIComic one was my favorite. And I’ve been reading the new comments every day myself as someone who loves your work and this video most especially. You poured your heart and soul into this, and it took you years of practice and dedication to not only become so skillful at the piano but to also build your creativity and your strikingly amazing stagecraft. So therefore it makes sense that you want to read everything your fans and viewers have to say about this masterpiece. This video also got way more views than most content creators will ever get for a video in their entire lives. And you deserve every one of them and more. You’re such a genuine and stand-up woman.
I just posted a new video and hardly keeping up with these comments now but I'm trying! I'm also recording the complete undertale soundtrack this week so im quite busy haha! Thank you, and I'm glad you notice those little things!!
I don't know what to write exept for: for me, it's absolutly nostalgic and perfect, organ and piano fit incredibly good, and my favorite video game songs of all time are played here. So, thank you.
Thank you!! I tried to go for an authentic sound, I hope I achieved that!
this was made with SUCH care!! an amazing work 💙 not just the interpretation of songs but also the setup, editing, even matching outfits!! I'm enjoying it very much, thank you ✨
Thank you for noticing the details!
Stickerbrush trauma from squawky just flooded my memory thanks for transporting me back lol. Such a great thing to stumble on.
awww sorry lol!! XD
Best pianist! I put the DK megamelodies at work 🎉
Even though I watched most of these as individual releases, watching the compilation is still just as breathtaking. I love how emotive your face is. StickerBush and Hot head bop are both stand outs
thank you! I hope you enjoyed the extra ones too- we considered releasing swamp by itself but it was too short. That was another favorite of mine :)
I have heard COUNTLESS covers of the DKC2 soundtrack and they're ALL amazing. Some are your popular remixes with all kinds of techno inspirations. Some are FULL ORCHASTRAL arrangements. But never have I heard such a "simple" cover like this - piano and organ that FULLY captures all the heart and brilliance of the music like you two ladies did here. I LOVE IT. I was smiling the whole time - and if I wasn't physically smiling, my HEART was alive as I worked on my video game project with your music in my ears. I LOVED THIS SO MUCH!!!! Thank you for delighting my evening!!
this made me so happy! I took a screenshot of your comment and posted it on IG hahahah!
also if you're a chrono trigger fan, check this set too! best thing I ever did ruclips.net/video/0fGq2BfstZs/видео.html
Love the Dixie Beret.
The organ adds so much to your multitrack! And both pianos are very nice!🥳
Você é simplesmente incrível!!!!! É colocar pra ouvir e viajar no mundo de DK literalmente!! Essas canções são poesias em forma de músicas!! tenho como despertador do novo meu celular..kkkk PARABÉNS!!! ganhou mais um inscrito from Brazil!!!❤
THANK YOU!!!!
Totally moved and in tears 🥺 Thank you very much for reliving those unforgettable moments!
Awww, thank you so much, :I love knowing it can grab people's emotions, even music from such a "silly" game!
@@KaraComparetto the moment you started Mining Melancholy my heart stopped and tears went down! Usually people cover Stickerbush Symphony or Snakey Chantey, but Mining Melancholy has a special place in my heart ❤️ Thank you again, Kara!
0:25 ok, directly started to cry
Why? Do you need help?
Waaaah. Waaah. Pathetic
My face is tired from smiling for so long.
Thank you for this gift for us all!
awww :)))))
This is the most homeschooled thing I've ever seen. I bet y'all slay at Catan. I loved jib Jig, and Stickerbush.
I never win Catan sadly LOL
Neither do I.... 🤣@@KaraComparetto
dkc2 is literally my favourite game of all time! Brilliantly played. Thanks for the nostalgia trip
Yeah all these comments are making me want to go back and play It AGAIN haha, but I just played it like last year! XD
Hey Kara... I can't thank you enough... thank you for this... My mind traveled back many years, and many good and affectionate memories came up. This is more than just music... What you did was wonderful, and it touched me deeply. I needed this, thank you very much. A big kiss from Brazil
Thank you so much, and greeting from the USA!! Glad you loved the music
Kara, I didn’t leave my own unique comment when this first came out because I was so at a loss for what to say. Nothing I can conjure up will do you any justice, but I’ll try and speak from the heart. I’ve listened practically every night since you’ve uploaded this resplendent gem. This video was your all-time greatest masterpiece for RUclips. There is no classic video game for the SNES that evokes this degree of nostalgic gaiety and pure bliss of DKC2. And for good reason. The music was the most beautiful ever put to a video game. I still don’t know, almost thirty years later, how David pulled off his tour de force, but it will touch my heart forever. If a night is lonely and cold, your renditions (and more broadly, my reverie of the DKC2 soundtrack in totality) are like being kissed by a sunrise. If you ever meet David in person, he owes you a gigantic hug and you owe him the automatic reciprocation of that hug from yourself and symbolically from all of us. ❤
Well this was so sweet and kind, thank you, I hardly know how to respond back! Thank you for your thoughtful message- it means so much to me! I would love to give David Wise a hug hahahahhahahahha
@@KaraComparetto You’re welcome. And I knew doggone well you would
That's a Diddy party
Kara's passion for the Donkey Kong series is second to none. Absolutely amazing renditions; it's crazy how timeless this soundtrack of this game is. David Wise is genius and it always blows me away how he managed to compose these masterpieces by reverse engineering the whole process to fit within the SNES soundchip.
I looooved the costumes too, haha. The ending of the video with the Diddy impression caught me completely offguard. Got a hearty chuckle out of me. I love you, Kara. Never change.
hahahah thank you so much
I always like watching the master work.
see you soon!
Cosplay is always a bonus with good music!
This is what we've been waiting for. Thank you Kara!
素晴らしい！
日本の30歳から最大限の賛辞を送ります！
懐かしいあの日々‥
ありがとう！
本当にありがとう、私の音楽が世界の裏側まで届いていることにとても驚いています!
Banger alert.
My favorite soundtrack of all time! And your "Jib Jig" was simple yet my Favorite!
This music was my childhood growing up as a kid in 90's. Thanks for the upload and the nostalgia.
Thank you, it was mine too!
As a musician- it's one thing to hit the notes right, but to get and transport a feeling/vibe that is what seperates the most; Chapeau!
thank you
Thank you for reminding me so much of my childhood, the best game in the Donkey Kong Country saga without a doubt. They make an excellent duo, amazing performances. I loved the detail of the sound with the mine level glasses. Greetings from Argentina.
Felicitaciones!
Isso foi realmente incrível, um show de arte e musica, um muito obrigado e um grande abraço do brasil 🇧🇷 ❤
Obrigado! e um abraço dos estados unidos!!
Looking forward to it ❤❤❤!
See you!!
素晴らしい‼︎❤❤❤
ありがとう！！！
Stickerbush symphony got me misty-eyed, well done!
Literally just watched the whole video start to finish without stopping. Job well done👏🏾
wow thank you!!!
we all know we're here for this 19:24
It’s all great music but yea that one is quite possibly the best video game song ever imo
@@dandylyin2502 same honestly. I liked the whole thing obviously but I was just waiting in anticipation for that one
Oooooohhhh yessss❤❤❤❤🙏🏼🎉🎉🎉
I just turned thirty five and this put a huge smile on my face. I can't tell you how many times I've played through the original DKC trilogy with my brother. I got both DKC 2 and Mega Man X3 for Christmas in 95' and I still have them. Man does time fly. David Wise is my all time favorite game composer and I love your rendition!
thank you Mikey! This was one of the top games of my childhood!
This was so nice to hear * - * Dixie's outfit is so pretty! Thank you very much for the experience! :D
Enchanted Wood has a place in my heart, but the whole soundtrack of this game was amazing! You did this flawless, amazing!!
enchanted wood is my favorite!!
It's beautiful that you have this talent, listening to the songs from this game that marked our childhood. I really thank you for so much talent that you two have.
Dar pra dormir ouvindo essa maravilha de trilha. DK marcou uma geração. 🇧🇷😁
I rarely comment on youtube videos, but this is pure brilliance. You ignited new life into the best gaming soundtrack of all time, and gave it complete justice. You spared no detail. I thank you for doing this... just, incredible work.
Ahh thanks for your comment!! I'm honored :)
