Donkey Kong Country Episode 4

Title- Barrel, Barrel, who’s got the Barrel?

I dunno where they came up with Bluster from. I think he might have been an extremely exaggerated version of Swanky, mainly due to them liking money, but Swanky was never really that money hungry. It’s a shame he and Wrinkly never appeared, as it would have been nice to actually see some interaction between Cranky and Wrinkly, as it never happened in the games.

Anyway, this is a pretty good episode. We get Bluster at his worst so far, DK beating on more fools, K Rool with an actual plan other than simply stealing the coconut (which makes sense as by now no one seems to know what to do with it when they get it anyway) and an actual entire change in location, to the snow place. Oh also an appearance by Funky and the first appearance of Eddie the Yeti (who humorously is just a white DK, which is funny since in Brawl DK has a white colour, and since the series was actually popular in Japan apparently, maybe it’s an actual homage?) Also the mine carts make their first true appearance.

Anyway, overall probably the best episode so far (unless Bad Hair day is better when I see it)
