I really enjoyed this game and would put it just below Super Mario Galaxy 2. It was hard but not impossible hard. I constantly had 999 coins which meant I could have 99 lives whenever I wanted. And yeah, there were a couple levels I probably died 30-40 times before completing. After beating the game I went back to each level to find all the KONG letters and puzzle pieces. Around world 4, I came across some levels I just couldn't find all the puzzle pieces, even after playing through the level 4 or 5 times looking in holes and everyplace else I could think of. I hate using FAQS so I ended up abandoning the quest for all the puzzle pieces and just focused on the KONG letters. I finally got them all, and completed the levels you get for completing them, along with the level you get for completing those as well. I ended up with 100%, but again, I was probably missing 10% of the puzzle pieces. My favorite levels were the roller coaster and rocket stages, probably the levels most people hated. I didn't even try the speed runs because I hate doing that. This surpassed DKC 1, 2, and 3 for me.
Oh yeah, I used wii remote on it's side the first couple worlds, then tried the remote with nunchuck. After that I never went back to the remote on it's side. I didn't like having to shake the remote to roll and using the nunchuck meant I only had to shake one hand, much easier when playing while laying on your side, which I usually did.
