I’m 28 years old now and played this as a kid. I absolutely loved it. For me it was way more interesting than Mario 64 because it had 5 characters and a cohesive theme. Mario had many levels that all seemed like their own minigames where DK64 felt whole and like a single world.
Last year during lockdown, I spent a lot of time visiting my mom and broke out the old N64. Starting fresh I finally beat DK64 completely through, something I never accomplished when I was young.
Still today, DK64 is one of my favorite video games ever. The theming was top notch. The different musical styles and decorations are incredibly immersive, and as a kid, collectathons became extra competitive, not boring, especially if you had siblings.

DK64 is filled to the brim with disjointed, character-specific minigames, including multiple instances of Simon Says. Mario is far more integrated. Example: In Mario, the racing minigame is against a Koopa, across the whole level, using Mario's movement mechanics. In DK64, it's some strange talking car in a toy factory, never seen before in the entire series, and takes place on a dedicated, isolated track.
