Making this post so more people are aware of this bug and in hopes that Nintendo themselves patches this or someone makes a mod that restores the functionality.

So in the original DKCR on the Wii when two players would go to bounce on an enemy, they both would get a bounce for a short amount of time so both players could get through the level even when it required precision platforming. They removed this feature from the 3DS version of the game as well which is what the Switch port is based off of and it's a shame cause it makes the game next to impossible to play in co-op now as 99% of the time someone will miss the jump and fall down a pit.

Here's a video containing more details about the glitch incase someone wants to look into it further, just wanted to spread awareness of it!

 
a shame they didnt check this, like we know last days of switch 1 but come on whats the point of coop if something dumb like this ruins player 2 experience

Yeah likely just an oversight in the 3DS version that went unnoticed. All 3 versions of the games were developed by different studios so chances are the team behind HD had no idea it was a bug.
 
Bumping this thread since Nintendo released version 1.1.0 of Donkey Kong Country Returns HD with a big emphasis on multiplayer, can someone test if they fixed the co-op bug?

Patch Notes

Edit: Co-op has officially been fixed according to Gamexplain along with a test example:

They seemingly fixed every bug that came with the port yeah. Though that co-op bug actually first became a problem with the 3DS version and it just carried over to the Switch version. Makes me wonder if Nintendo will keep working with Forever Entertainment as they are kinda known for shoddy at best ports.
