DKC3 gets such a bad rep that I don't understand. I liked it more than two honestly. I enjoyed that the overworld map felt more explorable with hidden secrets and puzzles. I'll admit the game starts a bit stale with some of the levels but after the first two worlds the game gets so much more enjoyable.

The music is great too, while I'll admit not as great as two's, it still holds up. And hearing it without the SNES's sound chip RAM compressing it is amazing.

That being said, still waiting on the water level

I tend to forget Jungle Jitter until I do a play through of DKC3. It's a banger for sure, yet I forget about.

Definitely, these restorations are without the compression applied by the SNES sound chip. You get the full quality of the original songs!

Alright I'm gonna check it out, thanks! I think the .rsn files sound great already, curious to hear what this offers over em.

The MP3 versions are already very high quality. If you want the absolute maximum quality versions, consider the FLAC files available.

Very solid project + thread bro

I liked the music before, but now that I’m actively playing through these games for the first time it’s all that much better hearing these remastered versions of the OST. DKC3 needs to be brought on to the Switch soon these games are fucking amazing

Is there a pack of all the songs from DKC1 and 2, with all the songs up to date?

I did download most of the tracks a year ago from a link that contained all songs but it turned out some of the Youtube links were newer versions.

If there is a link with all the songs so we don't have to download one by one and trying to be sure it's the latest/best version it would be awesome.
