That's not true. Mario 64, Mario Sunshine, and even Banjo-Kazooie are much more fast-paced than DK64 was. Every single character in Dk64 was slow as hell, and there weren't even any great platforming bits to keep up the pace (as there are in the above-mentioned games). Controlling DK felt like controlling a potato with legs. He didn't even have any cool moves (same with all of the other DK characters) to make it seem faster.
