    A refreshing, original platform that is not as simple as just tapping the L R keys. Alot of creative button pushing combinations, big, original worlds and cool mini games make this game a winner. Learning curve a tad high, so, be patient.

    Maybe the most underrated game on the DS.

    I had a TON of fun with this game. It is one of these games that just feels great when you play it. You just want to jump and climb from wall to wall because it simply feels great.

    I can recommend it with confidence for anyone who wants to try a different kind of gameplay.

    8 out of 10.

    Muito criativo, com ótimo level designer. Boa trilha sonora. Os negativos são pessoas que não entendem que a proposta NÃO ERA ser um Country. O jogo é diferente, quem tem a capacidade de curtir o game, vai ter um jogo unico, com mecanicas muito bem feitas e criativas, os melhores bonus da franquia é realmente muito divertido.

    Underrated high-skill cap title.
    K. Rool makes a return, story is pretty interesting, something you could also see in the Country series. Mechanics are original, my only issue with this game is that it's way too hard at some point. Some nerfs here and there would have made this game even better imo.

    The development team stuck to its guns with the original concept and fleshed it out with new levels, new elements, and more stuff to beef up the variety and to toughen things up.

    We don't like the story, save for the talking banana aliens (fo fanana), and the whole peg grabbing stuff doesn't light our fire, but Jungle Climber is a cute, simplistic adventure game that anyone can get into, and the addition of four person multiplayer adds to its banana eating appeal.

    The unique control scheme makes for an interesting change and a lot of fun, while the extra challenge modes provide incentive for much replay.
