Does the look of the DKC series match the gameplay?

Wow hey everyone hate me for saying this, but I've yet to actually like any "country" style Donkey Kong game


The SNES titles have always really bugged me on several levels, both graphics and design-wise. The controls were very loose and "slippery," meaning that over corrected jumps and missed landings were common, which was also contributed by the fact that in many levels the foreground props would blend, albeit near seamlessly, with the backgrounds, making judging distances and spacial awareness difficult.

As far as later titles go, I really have no love for them either.
