The fact that the series changed hands (formerly Rare, currently Retro) has something to do with it. This game goes for more of a "painted cartoon" look and adds cartoony effects and animations to top it off. Art Evolution: The original Donkey Kong Country trilogy featured a realistic art style and cartoony characters with realistic fur and textures.Appease the Volcano God: The Tiki leaders sacrificing themselves to become Tiki Tong's hands immediately before the final battle has shades of this.Amazing Technicolor Battlefield: The inside of Tiki Tong's lair.In the original Wii version, only the thematically new level is present. The first 8 are thematically based on the standard worlds of the game respectively, while the ninth is original (a mixture of Level in the Clouds and Level Ate). All the Worlds Are a Stage: The Nintendo 3DS version has an expanded version of the Golden Temple, which now has 9 levels.Alliterative Name: About 90% of the level names, with names like "Muncher Marathon", "Temple Topple" and "Damp Dungeon.".
