You'll have to put a lot of work into Donkey Kong Country Returns HD to unlock its secret world, but it's worth the effort if full completion is your goal.

Contrary to popular belief, Nintendo is technically not charging more for Donkey Kong Country Returns HD than it did for the original.

Donkey Kong Country Returns HD's perceived snub of the development team at Retro Studios is addressed in a statement by Nintendo.

Donkey Kong Country Returns HD, the just-launched port of the 2010 Wii game, doesn’t include individual members of the original Retro Studios development team in the credits, as reported by GameSpot. Since the discovery, however, Nintendo has commented on the omission, giving a statement to Eurogamer.

Donkey Kong Country Returns HD is the definitive version of a great platformer that finally brings the best of the Wii and 3DS versions into one. But the lack of new stuff makes it a hard sell as a full-priced Nintendo Switch game.

Shortly after the bouncy bridge scenario, you'll spot the letter O floating to the left of two platforms. You can reach it if you stand on the right platform, wait for the left one to rise, hop on it, and then grab the letter fast.

Donkey Kong Country Returns HD is a fairly straightforward port that'll fill enough time on the road to the Switch 2.
