This truly is the second incarnation of SMW. :'(

Yoshi's Island don't count, I don't care what it's technically called or how mindblowingly perfect it is.

I think the SMW2 thing was only in the North American release, anyway.

NSMB2 was solid but they rrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaally should have waited until next year to release it. Hype would have been so much higher for this one, everyone with taste absolutely loved NSMB Wii and this as a (semi) launch title would have turned so many heads.

DKC2 is still good, but it's the only DKC game I'd say that about until Returns.

to be fair, DKC2 was really good. DKC1 is average but I really like DKC2. I'd say it's a classic. Not in the same vein as YI though.

I found DKC1 really bland on my first play of it two years ago. Bland/bad looking environments, none of the cool flair of DKC2. The music was just OK too.

Actually those complaints apply to DKC3 as well, except DKC3 was worse off because of Kiddy and really fricking annoying level gimmicks (I have an idea, let's reverse left and right on the controller!) and bosses (snowman fight... ugh.) It also went a bit overboard with collectables, closer to DK64 in that respect than DKC2.

Naturally, the whole trilogy will never be in the top echelon (for me) because of the spotty collision detection caused by the "3D" graphics. DKC2 rises from "mediocre" to "very good, entertaining, and memorable" on the strengths of its level design (which is actually quite good), area variety, pleasurable level gimmicks and gameplay mechanics (like the spider), and, of course, music.

Yoshi's Island was kind of the exception though ... remarkable boss fights have always been pretty rare in the Mario series.
