What If Donkey Kong Country Used DK's Old Design?

In the 90's Rareware was given the opportunity to redesign one of Nintendo's biggest mascots, Donkey Kong, and rendered him using state-of-the-art, prerendered, CG graphics. After seeing concept art though I got around to thinking, "What if Nintendo had been more strict with its IP, and told Rareware to stick with Miyamoto's old design for DK and DKJr?"

This is not a hack. I took footage of Donkey Kong Country, edited DK out with After Effects, and edited in the sprites I made in Maya.
