Here's the forum post where I explored the possibility, and the Macintosh Garden page where I posted the patched version.

If you were curious, I couldn't find any other PopCap games with a similar accidental PPC build sadly.

Oh, agreed! The whole game is very much a somber experience. The music is a little wistful. The levels themselves tend to have darker, more muted palettes than the bright colors of DKC1. Even the jungle levels, bombastic and bright in 1, are foreboding and antagonistic - like this is not YOUR jungle

Great ending to a great game

Absolutely, plus, since it's designed for modern rendering, there was a lot of "Wait, stop, don't make it look THAT good". It's amusing when making something look "bad" is as difficult as trying to make it look good.

All the options and graphics and sound changes makes me think of something like Sonic 3 Complete. Excellent company for sure

I miss Fat Pikachu so much, we've lost so much...

I was impressed with how accessible it was for such an early 3D tool! Though I imagine the render times sucked a lot more then.

Also my very talented sister made these out of them
