Donkey Kong Country 3

The beauty, and flaw, of DKC3 is that it's a mile wide and an inch deep. While the sheer amount of variety keeps the game lively and interesting, it also becomes tiring. DKC3 never allows you to fully acclimate to it due to its intentional fickleness. Every new level tosses out the mechanics of the last and introduces new ones, which takes away a lot of the “ah ha!” feeling of getting the hang of it. In all, DKC3 is a fun game worth playing, although I think DKC2 is better all around. SNES fans should have the entire trilogy.

You can get 105% completion, which seems crazy until you've played Symphony of the Night.

DKC3 is definitely one of the prettiest SNES games ever

Obligatory snow level screenshot to sate my obsession. <3
