Every once in a while, a game or system comes along that redefines gaming in some small way, and DKJB proudly stands in this category.
It's one of the prettiest and exciting-to-watch games I've ever seen. [May 2005, p.52]
While it conceptually doesn't offer anything new (because it is at heart just another Donkey Kong Country title), it's the innovative controls that set it apart from the me-too titles that clog its respective genre, and although it's a little on the easy side, the game has plenty of replay value.
We know it's not for everyone, and we know it's short, but in the end we find it hard to fault a game that not only makes a mockery of standard gaming conventions, but delivers one of the most unique and entertaining (albeit tiring) experiences on the GameCube.

The game lacks depth, and is just too short to be enjoyed.
