That fucking game alone was worth the Switch. Criminally underrated platformer, to me the best in the Donkey Kong series and probably top 3 of all platformers. This game is the shit and the music is perfect.
No doubt! The game didn't reinvent the wheel, you aren't going to play it be like, "wow, I've never seen a platformer do this before", but god damn... Such a well made game, one level is worth three from another game, god-like music, brilliant art direction, perfect cohesion. There's even co-op! The dev team should be proud.

I always loved the OG's title theme:
