Super Donkey Kong '99

Super Donkey Kong '99 (超級大金剛'99) is a bootleg game possibly by Gamtec for the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive in 1999. Rather than being a port, this game is an original platformer based on the Donkey Kong Country series.

Why It Sucks

 * 1) Donkey Kong is even slower in this game when you walk.
 * 2) Poor controls.
 * 3) The animations from the SNES game, Donkey Kong Country, are poorly compressed in this game. This is unacceptable, because the official-licensed Disney game, Toy Story, was made four years on the Sega Genesis before this pirate game and used CGI animation, which did well.
 * 4) You can beat this game in over 30 minutes! Even games like Sonic R or Rascal can be beaten longer than that!
 * 5) Annoying sound effects. However, when you beat an enemy, they will let out a blood-curling scream (which is stolen from Disco Train theme from Donkey Kong Country 2), which is just flat out disturbing.
 * 6) Poor level design, such as the beginning of the first level: the roof is very low, but there is an enemy on it, and the only way you can attack the enemy is to jump on them, but you're not given any space at all, meaning you will die quickly as soon as you begin the game.
 * 7) The music is actually STOLEN songs from other games. For example, the first level's music is from the bonus theme in Super Mario All-Stars.
 * 8) In the final boss fight, you have to touch the crown, dodging it will automatically kill you.
 * 9) A horrible ending. After beating the game by defeating the final boss, you are then shown the ending "cutscene" where Donkey Kong is looking at Diddy Kong in a dark room with creepy music playing in the background. Take a look at your own risk.
 * 10) The second level has a glitch where if you are about to fall off a platform while holding a barrel and then get on one right after being close to going off it, the barrel will still be thrown but Donkey Kong will be holding something despite the barrel being thrown. Throwing it will cause a glitchy barrel to be thrown.

The Only Redeeming Quality

 * 1) The Genesis/Mega Driver conversion of soundtrack sounds decent enough. Just take yourself a listen.
