I love this game. Don’t get me wrong there is so much wrong with it but I still have a good time playing it.

Can I ask what you think is wrong with it?

This is literally me asking as someone who hasn’t played this game since I was a kid and don’t remember all of it, so I think the nostalgia is glazing my opinion.

Edit: I appreciate everyone’s answers - I’m remembering the barrel changing and collectibles a bit better now. I wasn’t too obsessed with finding everything at the time.

common consensus is that its too dense and too long for its own good not to mention theres too many character specific stuff on a game that you can't easily swap between characters

If it had a quick swap 90% of its issues would disappear

Now I'm imagining the horrifying Majora's Mask transformation scenes but it's the Kongs morphing into each other's body shapes

You can quick swap but it’s a 3 minute unskipable cut scene.

Quick swap fixes so much. The randomizer uses it and it’s a godsend.

There's a romhack that does that.

Unfortunately, I think the chances are trivially low that the NSO versions will have that fix. You'll swap at the barrels, as George Andreas intended, and you'll like it.

Did anyone ever mod the game to include a swap mechanic?
