What make these levels so good is that their challenging, but never unfair. They still remain fun and because of this it allows a player to continually play the level until they finally beat it, instead of just giving up.

@@juanrivera2727 If I was to list them from easiest to hardest (in my opinion) it would go: Easy: 8K-Five Monkey Trial (Red Orb) Easy: 3K-Shifty Smashers (White Orb) Medium: 5K-Blast 'N' Bounce (Yellow Orb) Medium: 4K-Jagged Jewels (Pink Orb) Hard: 1K-Platform Panic (Green Orb) Hard: 2K-Tumblin, Temple (Blue Orb) Hard: 7K-Treacherous Track (Black Orb) Torture: 6K-Perilous Passage (Orange Orb)
In my opinion this is my list from easiest to hardest K levels: Easy -Shifty Sashers -5 Monkey Trial -Tumblin' Temple -Platform Panic -Jagged Jewls -Blast 'N' Blounce -Treacherous Track -Perilous Passage Hard
*1-K:* Challenging and a good start of the 1st hell ring! *2-K:* Hard, but nothing out of hands. *3-K:* No skill required, just patience and a bit of common sense. *4-K: HELL NO!* Good luck with Jagged Jewels in Mirror mode... *5-K: *Vietnam flashbacks** it's unfair... *6-K: OH FCK NO!!! THIS IS REALLY UNFAIR, YOU'LL GET HIT EVENTUALLY!!* Took me like 2 days to complete this level and a whole week for Mirror mode. No joking. *7-K:* Back in the business! Kinda hard to get everything in perfect sync, but satisfying as hell, ngl. *8-K:* Prove you are worth the entrance of The Golden Banana Temple! *9-1:* Prove yourself your the real and one Donkey Kong grandson!
i thought the same but tbh I just think you and me both used the super kong and forgot about it. Cause I remembered I could never finish the golden temple even though it was way easier than some temple levels like world 6 and it was probably because it didn’t have the super kongs available
WHOOO!!! I HAVE FINISHED THE GAME!! Finally did all the dungeons and got all the puzzles and gold on time attack! but then... MIRROR MODE!!! F***************************************
I’m currently playing through the 3DS version of this game. I’ve completed the temples for worlds 1-5 and have unlocked the ones for worlds 6 and 7, but haven’t beaten them yet. Not gunna lie, I don’t know if it’s really worth beating them as simply playing one of these levels gives me anxiety.
Not sure if you still play the game but a little thing I found out is that if you can unlock the world 8 temple you can definitely beat it, the world 8 levels are so tough especially to get the Kong letters but the temple is one of the easiest especially with the potions, plus you get tons of banana coins. Also atleast for me if you’re stuck on 8-2 it gets far easier after the checkpoint so keep that in mind
these levels were not what I was expecting, The most difficult was the 5th secret phase. I TOOK WEEKS TO COMPLETE THEM!!!! And also make the secret phases 100%. (I only found out about these phases I think in 2019 or in 2020)
I forgot this exist Goddamnit This one I hate the most My brothor showed me this which I haven't heard at the time he had time to play and get all the "KONG" letters and puzzle pieces And told me to finish the "run temple" it was not easy my hands were really badly hurt when I got to the 2-k from there it hurts like hell I have the saves lucky I was 7 at that time. I'm 14 I will finish this once and for all so I can play tropical freeze
1 - For some reason, I have a hard time with this one even though it doesn't look that painful. 2 - Not too bad, besides it has a barrel at the start so there's a safety net. 3 - Looks intimidating, but isn't too hard as long as you don't rush it. 4 - FUCK! THIS! LEVEL! 5 - Real nightmare, but Bopopolis from Tropical Freeze is this on steroids. 6 - God damn electrical things make this way harder than it has any right to be. 7 - Oh great, I always WANTED a fucking Tanked-Up Trouble redux! 8 - Not bad, but that last one gives me a coronary and a half. 9 - I fucking quit.
4 whole years late and youve probably figured it out but when you go to the start menu of a level before entering it there should be an option for mirror mode

Sometimes I forget about how genuinely well crafted, but also legitimately terrifying this game was
I know. Most levels were to made rush them almost perfectly.

"Never unfair"
I agree with the exception of those blue flies in World 6's temple. Those things suck hard.
@@gungaloscrungalo8925 World 6's temple was really hard

one of the best games i'd ever played
u r correct
I was young and couldnt get these levels man I wish I had a wii and I'd play this whole game again

Nostalgia is real right now
These levels look quite challenging, looks like a fun game
Hinge Flang It is.
i have played this and if you get it you wont regret it
Hinge Flang i
Nostalgia induced with these.
0:25-0:40. You can get 2 balloon combo here
19:31 Donkey and Diddy Kong both get high colorized
I just found this and can't stop laughing thank you!
Blast 'n bounce is the most difficult in my opinion
Nah! Treacherous Track is even worse!
Five money trail, no takebacks
All of you seem to have forgotten the existence of Perilous Passage.
I agree with u. Love all the drama behind it
Taiyotsuki Hoshi ik right
I think most people can agree nearly all of these levels are some of the hardest in the game.
Yup. They sure are.
I love the Temple levels!!!!!
i played this when i was ten but never uncovered 2 of the temples, now i feel like buying my wii back and completing the whole thing again
Im a Silly Tornado you can get a Wii U
I came back to this game and started doing the temple levels
Now replay all of these levels in mirror mode!
4-k 6-k and 8-k are the worst in mirror mode!
katiermc Playing these levels in mirror mode is something I wouldn't wish upon even Ted Bundy.
I do all temple level in mirror mode but this goal was difficult to reach
*1-K:* Challenging and a good start of the 1st hell ring!
*2-K:* Hard, but nothing out of hands.
*3-K:* No skill required, just patience and a bit of common sense.
*4-K: HELL NO!* Good luck with Jagged Jewels in Mirror mode...
*5-K: *Vietnam flashbacks** it's unfair...
*6-K: OH FCK NO!!! THIS IS REALLY UNFAIR, YOU'LL GET HIT EVENTUALLY!!* Took me like 2 days to complete this level and a whole week for Mirror mode. No joking.
*7-K:* Back in the business! Kinda hard to get everything in perfect sync, but satisfying as hell, ngl.
*8-K:* Prove you are worth the entrance of The Golden Banana Temple!
*9-1:* Prove yourself your the real and one Donkey Kong grandson!
jagged jewels is hard in mirror mode but without it it was fairly easy since you get diddy and 4x the health than in mirror mode
3DS, Switch, and Gamecube games like this made me a master at platforming games. All that torture was worth it
This game brings back memories
I love this game and tropical freeze so much, I wish Nintendo is making DKC6.
How i managed to beat all of these at around 8 years old is crazy because now I look at them and I’m just like nah skip that 😂
i thought the same but tbh I just think you and me both used the super kong and forgot about it. Cause I remembered I could never finish the golden temple even though it was way easier than some temple levels like world 6 and it was probably because it didn’t have the super kongs available
Cranky Kong: If you find all the KONG letters, something exciting may happen!
Me: Oh Really?
Jagged Jewels and Perilous Passage = PTSD intesifies
These are hard levels, which will push your timing and speed to their limits, and reward you handsomely if you win.
And then there is Shifty Smashers.
19:34
Oh hey, this is a pretty cool banana-
who here thinks that DK should have a Funky Kong costume in smash ultimate
My favourite is Five Monkey Trial, because it's easy with the golden potion
Yeah ironic how easy it is since it's the final kong temple only took me 2 trys
Five monkey trial is easy also in mirror mode
You are the BEST PLAYER IN THE WORLD
!!!!
Blast ‘N’ Bounce was evil.
5 monkey trials was my fav. the gameplay was so fun
WHOOO!!! I HAVE FINISHED THE GAME!! Finally did all the dungeons and got all the puzzles and gold on time attack! but then... MIRROR MODE!!! F***************************************
For some reason Jagged Jewels is my favorite temple level
2:00 omg, i never noticed the retro donkey kong faces in the back ground.
I love this game
That golden temple level was real, *real,* hard. At least to me.
Your the real super kong
When people say Dark Souls is hard, I show them the last levels in this.
I hated the world 7 special stage as a kid.
Try the world 6 one!
I am the world 5 special.
If only the 3DS version ran at 60 frames a second.

I am still surprised I managed to beat this game

Literally a year late but it does, I struggled for like months trying to get it, its pretty cool

Thanks for letting me know.
Oh yeah I still remember the 3rd one and the one part the celling comes down

Tropical Freeze may have had technically better visuals, but the visual design of Returns backgrounds was superior.

WORLD 9-1 GOLDEN TEMPLE
19:41 It probably killed them and cloned them on the other side
Jagged Jules and perilous passage are the hardest to me
Got you all!
perilous passage is the harder than golden temple.
Does the Wii version of this game contain 9-1 - 9-8? I’m not quite sure if it does, as I only own the 3DS version.
It does not. I'm playing it at the time of writing this reply
No it doesent
I forgot this exist
Goddamnit
This one I hate the most
My brothor showed me this which I haven't heard at the time he had time to play and get all the "KONG" letters and puzzle pieces
And told me to finish the "run temple" it was not easy my hands were really badly hurt when I got to the 2-k from there it hurts like hell
I have the saves lucky
I was 7 at that time. I'm 14 I will finish this once and for all so I can play tropical freeze
I always wonder how Sunny plays so flawlessly. Does she just not ever make a serious mistake?
Katie R She does mistakes but she doesn't show where she dies over and over because the video would be too long/boring.
Hm, that makes sense.
I think it’s just a lot of practice
Who is honestly gonna play mirror mode. You already have a hard time with two hearts and normal mode with Diddy Kong…
24:22 ok... no.
1 - For some reason, I have a hard time with this one even though it doesn't look that painful.
2 - Not too bad, besides it has a barrel at the start so there's a safety net.
3 - Looks intimidating, but isn't too hard as long as you don't rush it.
4 - FUCK! THIS! LEVEL!
5 - Real nightmare, but Bopopolis from Tropical Freeze is this on steroids.
6 - God damn electrical things make this way harder than it has any right to be.
7 - Oh great, I always WANTED a fucking Tanked-Up Trouble redux!
8 - Not bad, but that last one gives me a coronary and a half.
9 - I fucking quit.
temple levels are easy also in mirror mode
Also, rolling up the Golden Temple? LMAO
I wish they were harder
Hate it or like, but my 9 years old self did all of them alone and kept its mental sanity.
Yeah, i m showing off.
I like number 2 & 4
Cave k level took me the longest and the cliff k level i cant eveb complete
I wonder how do you switch on and off for the mirror mode
4 whole years late and youve probably figured it out but when you go to the start menu of a level before entering it there should be an option for mirror mode
WORLD 9-2 GOLDEN TEMPLE
Do you like die sometimes in the game?
I remember jagged jewels being like impossible
どれも本当に難しそうですね。
Great! Shame it isn't worth anything since you used Diddy Kong :/
surreal
19:27 🤣
どれもだいぶ難しそう。
Some are really difficult, 5, 6, 7
Jagged jewels is imposible without diddy
MARIOSUPERLAND
How do you unlock these?
You have to get all kong letters
get all kong letters in every level of a world then you can unlock the temple for that world
+ I hav the uk version so I cant experience the fun
2D
and I say FIRST I AM FIRST I AM FIRST
Awesome
