Even with three hearts instead of the original two, it's very easy to lose multiple lives in a single stage as you learn its rhythms and assorted traps.
DKC Returns HD does retain the tweaks made to the 2013 3DS port, including a Modern mode with additional items in Cranky's shop and an extra pip of health.
The Modern mode is meant to sand off the edges of the notoriously punishing game and make it more approachable, but make no mistake: This is still a brutally difficult game.
And it does look nicely polished on Switch, especially on the OLED screen, but the character models look relatively simplistic compared to Tropical Freeze.
