These auto-scroller like levels see Donkey Kong hitching a ride on a mine cart to automatically move forward.

This leaves you with just one job; jumping.

You will immediately fear the rest of the K levels due to the terrifically tricky level design here.

This level has you platforming on pillars and platforms that rise and fall periodically right from under your feet.

Run and jump your way through these fantastic 3D platformers for the Nintendo Switch.

Each section changes what you have to work with and some of the combinations are pretty evil.

What could possibly make this worse?

Having to do a mini-boss at the same time!

There have been a ton of indie platformers launched over the years, but these ones truly stand out.

This can be super unfair, as these can one-shot kill you.

What’s worse is that both the final K-O-N-G Letter and Puzzle Piece are found during this part.

Leading to this level being quite frustrating, as you will either die or miss the collectibles.

Lavawheel Volcano definitely deserves to be the second to last level of the game.

This is the final test tasking you with jumping through a giant fruit heaven.

These platformers are now old enough to have unexplained backache.

It strips you of yourbest buddy Diddy Kongand you must beat the entire game with only one heart.

Being a world themed around cliffs and caves, this level brings the heat with a touch of lava.

The combination of what feels like hundreds of enemies alongside the lava makes this a ridiculous level to complete.
