@katelynthewhitewerewolf6376 then he could appear in a new 3d donkey kong with a morty rusty and torn up look reflecting how he was in the original and maybe even more by missing some body parts or fluff, since this would take place years after dk64.
Fun fact: Mad Jack’s vocal effects (as well as the maniacal laughter in the music track) were stock recordings by Clarence Nash, who was the original voice of Donald Duck. That’s why Mad Jack sounds a lot like Donald.
I'll never get enough of this song. The laugh makes everything. Whoever recorded and/or created that deserves memorial for Best Insane Laugh of All Time.

@@markheying2830 Yup, Dixie's little sister. Though not so little anymore since for some reason they decided to give her a BIG growth spurt for later games like Diddy Kong Racing DS and Barrel Blast, making her look more like a teenager, and also looking a lot older than her big sister. Honestly I really don't like the redesign at all and I have no idea why they did it.
Someone should definitely make a remix to this song if there already isn't one. Along with Mad Jack laughing hysterically in the background. That would be pretty cool.
All I hear is "This scared the shit out of me as a kid," "he freaked me out" or even worse, "I had nightmares because of this!" People can play gore games with cheesy lines and scripts to no end but a menacing laugh in a kids game makes them tick? Please. I absolutely LOVE his menacing laugh! XD I LOVED IT!!! Growing up, I loved Mad Jack INCLUDING the Fairy's laugh in the Legend of Zelda.
Lots of people don't expect frightening laughter in a KIDS game of all things. Coupled with some demonic Terminator-in-the-Box Quackerjack Statue of Liberty thing, THIS will scare the crap out of people. Grant Kirkhope just LOVES freaking folks out.
You can skip the boss if you want to during exploring the third level,but it wants you to still beat it to get to the final level,the same with the crystal caves boss and the castle boss.
My sister and I had a tough time on this one, because of the last part... But we eventually got it. The dragon and the fake K Rool boss had us mad for days though. >_> I eventually beat the latter by myself, but then DK64 showed us the lovely "YOU NEED TO BEAT THE ORIGINAL DONKEY KOND TO PASS" thing...
This guy was definitely a big step up in difficulty from the first two bosses, I think I had more trouble with this one than any others in the game lol.
quaz450 Must Agree, Puffer fish thing and Mad Jack were the hardest bosses I faces "AS A KID", now They both are a joke of course, but still, the memory remains.... and Oh, damn you jack... DAMN YOU
Hydroxoid As a kid, this one was easy. Tedious, but I didn't have too much of a problem beating him. Actually, he's one of my favorites. The one that I had serious trouble with was the Dogodon in the Fungi Forest boss rom. He made me his bitch for over a year before I figured out how to beat him (throwing Chunky's Heavy bunch a million times? How come I didn't think of that sooner?). After that the rest of the bosses were easy (puffer fish aside, but at least I didn't have a time limit like the Fungi Forest).
Whenever i played this game, i always looked forward to meeting this boss again and again, he is probably the best boss of the entire game in my oppinion.
+Andy Lavandero no it was grant kirkhope he played every single orchestra instrument and then mashed them all together and then he went to his computer and got midi soundboard and made the donkey kong 64 music.
This boss was such a royal pain in the ass to me and my brother as a kid, I remember the day that I finally beat him after a year and bragged for ages about being the first to beat mad jack
This boss and Bowser's laugh from Mario 64 when you tried to open a locked door were basically the two most terrifying things I experienced in my entire childhood.
I never knew that the laugh was part of the song. I always thought it was the boss. It made it more epic, it made it seem like he was laughing at form indide the box!
The biggest thing i can think of is the terrible banana collecting system. having to revisist the same place multiple times for absolutely no good reason made the game tedious. The lighthouse level was also shite.
this is my favorite of all the boss themes in donkey kong 64, eventhough when I first played the game it took me the longest time to actually defeat Mad Jack.
Sweet! I just found my old Nintendo 64 with DK64 in it and the expansion pak still there! Now I can listen to this awesome song on the N64 and challenge this boss again :D
there was a time when I was a kid when I used to call him Crocodile Jack In The Box. eventually I discovered in the Donkey Kong 64 guide that his actual name was Mad Jack.
Umut Kursawe This was the game of my childhood. It's sort of the hidden gem in the Nintendo world. No one played this game and it pisses me off because it was so good! I want a 3DS remaster of this! *Disclaimer* Ocarina of Time was a phenomenal game. It just doesn't compare to DK 64.
Umut Kursawe The Two aren't even comparable they're in their own league of games/genres in my opinion THINK WHAT YOU WANT SIR but agreed both OOT and Dk64 are great games.
This is what i call a damn good boss battle. You are afraid of the boss, cause he or her, will fuck your shit up if you don't know what to do. The music too, it's god damn genius, the tones used in this track are emotional and fightening, again, makes you afraid of the boss. Now, that's how you do bosses right, you implement strategy, skill and with to defeat it. and you have to get quicker each time you gain a hit. I have not seen a good boss battle since 2001. Today's bosses in games are like this: Shoot this, shot that, molest this ting and win. What happened to good boss design like this?
+MicrowaveMeShow and considering Frantic Factory is all about making dangerous and killer toys, that's really saying something about THIS toy if they thought it was TOO dangerous!
If they actually remade this game, do you know how freaky Mad Jack would look bursting out of high resolution darkness? Your sibling, who may not even be in the same room or house than you would jump out of fear!
I'm pretty sure they aren't even close to being same sound effect, but I couldn't find Gruntilda's laugh as a standalone effect on RUclips to compare so idk
The boss himself wasn't very scary, but his jumping patterns were absolutely terrifying... I would get shivers down my spine just wondering which platform he would jump to next.
Yeah. I bet Rare's gonna do it, too (I hope so!)! If a good number of these levels and bosses scared me as a kid with the N64's graphics, just imagine them in 360 res! It's getting scared of demonic toys all over again! Evil toys and giant blowfish! Ahh, the memories.
When I was little I tried over and over to beat this boss. Now I finally got the game to work, and started all over and beat it on my first try, with half a melon left . But I was waay too excited hahaha
I didnt realized just how scary this guy was until now....and that makes him a lot MORE scarier because i was fighting him at like 2 am the day my grandmother died.....this and gloomy galleon theme are really nostalgic for me....
I think there's a reason why this boss was "optional" until the end of the game (since you didn't need to defeat him to get to the fourth level); he was that hard to beat. I had to beat him for my friend. lulz. But I still think he was the most fun one, especially if you fight him at a bird's eye view. Oh the good times.
I think I've figured out why Mad Jack was considerably harder than the other bosses (minus K. Rool). You actually don't have to get the 3rd boss key to progress to the next area since Frantic Factory and Gloomy Galleon are unlocked at the same time. So, in reality, you really didn't have to get the key until it was time to unlock Hideout Helm.
you guys are so right. his laugh gives me chills every time i hear it. it is also awesome beyond belief. its a donald duck in a box for the win.... lol.

Only to die 5 million times so as to do it all over again.

I always liked that mixed with Mad Jack's laugh and the music
Fun fact: Mad Jack’s vocal effects (as well as the maniacal laughter in the music track) were stock recordings by Clarence Nash, who was the original voice of Donald Duck. That’s why Mad Jack sounds a lot like Donald.
I was thinking it was too much of a coincidence. Thanks
@@AuthorSquared another fun fact The laugh is also integrated into the song itself, and is not played due to some mechanic in the fight
@@11eargyle
I wanna see more of Mad Jack he's the best boss fight character.
That’s awesome! My older brother joked about Mad Jack being like Donald Duck when we first played this game when we were kids.
This boss used to scare the fuck out of me
He use to make me laugh with the Donald Duck voice
I'll never get enough of this song. The laugh makes everything. Whoever recorded and/or created that deserves memorial for Best Insane Laugh of All Time.

this boss was soo unique i mean who would expect a jack in the box to fight you in a factory level. GREAT game. great memories!
"Hup! WHEEEE!"
Was I the only one that would jump off of the towers just so that he wouldn't touch me due to fear?..
Nope. I did that, too. I would just stay on the elevator thing so that he wouldn't squish me. XD
@@157dinodude
I also thought if you jump off you would die or something
Ah memories! I wasn't particularly scared of this boss when I was little, more frustrated with the difficulty. The castle boss, now he creeped me out.
You're talking about the cardboard cutout? How much of a pussy were you as a kid
This was probably the hardest boss in the game. That cardboard cutout was too easy and the armadillo revenge was just a plain pain in the ass.
Someone should definitely make a remix to this song if there already isn't one. Along with Mad Jack laughing hysterically in the background. That would be pretty cool.
The cackle is from stock recordings of Donald Duck's original voice actor.
This guy was probably my favorite boss from the game.
I don't know why but I think this stage had the best music.
oh mad jack, such a disturbing yet awesome boss, when i beat him for the first time i was hearing the song "you're the best around" in my head
I love how Rare gave the scariest freekin boss to Tiny
I like how all the boss themes were really intense versions of their respective levels.
Some may call it lazyness.
I call it pure genius.
Ugh... Tiny... the constant "WEEEEE!"...
Quite annoying
Well just either turn the volume down or live with it! That's what I do!
Jump and make 999999999999999 weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
This track sounds so epic. I would play this boss over and over just to hear the music!
remembering Radio City's Snow White and just hearing this and the laughing reminds me of when the witch is chased up the chasm and falls!
Tiny Kong: Ha! Weee!!!
A kid's game that is in some-ways more disturbing then a modern-day Survival-horror game!
Welcome to the song of your childhood's nightmares.
the Laugh, oh the Laugh, it absolutely nails this song. that is easily one of the best sound bites I've ever heard to a fantastic song.
This song wouldn't be the same without that crazy laugh.
All I hear is "This scared the shit out of me as a kid," "he freaked me out" or even worse, "I had nightmares because of this!" People can play gore games with cheesy lines and scripts to no end but a menacing laugh in a kids game makes them tick? Please.
I absolutely LOVE his menacing laugh! XD I LOVED IT!!! Growing up, I loved Mad Jack INCLUDING the Fairy's laugh in the Legend of Zelda.
+TheBlueBeatle3 Lots of kids are frightened of clowns, you know

Tiny Kong has the endurance of an Olympian to do nonstop spin jumps just to get away from this thing.
That Mad Jack was freakin' nightmare fuel for me when I was young and playing this game...

The dragon and the fake K Rool boss had us mad for days though. >_> I eventually beat the latter by myself, but then DK64 showed us the lovely "YOU NEED TO BEAT THE ORIGINAL DONKEY KOND TO PASS" thing...
jesus this guy is hard as hell, and when I was little it scared me a LOT, but oddly enough, it's my favorite boss in the whole game o.o
Oh man, this boss always scared the shit out of me when i was little. DK64 had one of the best boss fights and music to go along with it at the time.
This music still lets me shudder, a strange mixture deep joy and fear^^
The unrelenting WeeGee prepares for your arrival
This was my worst nightmare when I was a child.It tooks me so long to beat this boss.
This guy was definitely a big step up in difficulty from the first two bosses, I think I had more trouble with this one than any others in the game lol.
This guy was madness! As a kid i refused to enter the Bossroom a second time, after he compeltely nuked me. I was terrified. xD
Hydroxoid excuse me? that puffer fish thing was no laughing matter
quaz450 Must Agree, Puffer fish thing and Mad Jack were the hardest bosses I faces "AS A KID", now They both are a joke of course, but still, the memory remains.... and Oh, damn you jack... DAMN YOU

My issue was the cardboard cutout guy from creepy castle.
i love this theme
1:03-1:28 my favorite part

Man that tube guy must be having the time of his life haha

This music isn't played by an orchestra. It all sounds like it was made from a keyboard.
+Andy Lavandero no it was grant kirkhope he played every single orchestra instrument and then mashed them all together and then he went to his computer and got midi soundboard and made the donkey kong 64 music.
+BabyCola The grant kirkhope orchestra was for the crystal coconut movie
It's all compressed.
Rare definitely was the king of developers in the N64 era...they made like 8 or 9 games and ALL of them were awesome.
This needs to be my ringtone.
This boss was such a royal pain in the ass to me and my brother as a kid, I remember the day that I finally beat him after a year and bragged for ages about being the first to beat mad jack
the laugh gives me the shivehs xD but i love mad jack
xD
I'm sooooo glad I still have this game.

I never knew that the laugh was part of the song. I always thought it was the boss. It made it more epic, it made it seem like he was laughing at form indide the box!
Love looking into the history of the name 'Mad Jack'. Wonder if they knew about him when they made this character.
Even when he went invisible, Mad Jack was still easy to detect: He still had those sparkles around him.
I don't get why people often praise Banjo-Kazooie but talk shit about DK64. Both have amazing music, fun levels and lots to do.
People talk shit about dk64?
The biggest thing i can think of is the terrible banana collecting system. having to revisist the same place multiple times for absolutely no good reason made the game tedious. The lighthouse level was also shite.

+Austin Morrison true, but let's not forget about those stupid races with the beetle. nightmarish....
+crazykiller463 please don't remind me of that stupid beetle...
this is my favorite of all the boss themes in donkey kong 64, eventhough when I first played the game it took me the longest time to actually defeat Mad Jack.
I had this song stuck in my head so I played the game to get it out of my head not realizing that I could've looked it up.
Sweet! I just found my old Nintendo 64 with DK64 in it and the expansion pak still there!
Now I can listen to this awesome song on the N64 and challenge this boss again :D
His laugh is similar to gruntilda
aziz targhi bakkali They're both made by the same person, actually.
i know, thats why
aziz targhi bakkali Oh. Alright then...
The laugh is from stock recordings of Donald Duck's original voice actor.
I believe Mad Jack's laugh was voiced by Grant Kirkhope and Grunty was voiced by Chris Seavor, the same voice actor that voiced Conker.
i love this boss. i love this level.
Is it just me? Or does this sound more like a battle with the Joker? It's got his laugh, and the music sounds a bit like that.
And some people tend to find it fitting enough to use it as an intro theme to their videos. ;)
You do?
1:07 Most epic part of the music, in my opinion. But the whole song in general kicks ass!
Grant Kirkhope FTW!!!
there was a time when I was a kid when I used to call him Crocodile Jack In The Box. eventually I discovered in the Donkey Kong 64 guide that his actual name was Mad Jack.
Of course, since Army Dillo and Dogadon's names are given in the game, you called Pufftoss "Loud Pufferfish"?
The #6 Runaway Guys Fan no, I never call Pufftoss "Loud Pufferfish".
This boss was my childhood nemisis...no matter how hard i tried I could never beat him, his laugh still echos in my ears...
Better than ocarina of time

+MicrowaveMeShow and considering Frantic Factory is all about making dangerous and killer toys, that's really saying something about THIS toy if they thought it was TOO dangerous!
i mean he DOES shoot fireballs and lasers and can turn invisible.
i think the invisibility might play a big part in his rejection.
+IMPACT/k96me I think it's also because this boss is pretty much every early childhood phobia rolled up into one
Austin Morrison yeeeahh, good reason to reject it.
still my favourite boss fight in any video game tho :3
+IMPACT/k96me mine too:)
If they actually remade this game, do you know how freaky Mad Jack would look bursting out of high resolution darkness? Your sibling, who may not even be in the same room or house than you would jump out of fear!
my favorite part 1:28 :3
it would be really neat if there was a sequel to this game, he would come back, just crazier than before. his name would be: MADDER JACK
Say hello to Ronald McDonald Duck in the Box!
Can't get enough of Tiny's jumps for joy. "WEEEE!!!"
When did DK64 come out? Either they reused Gruntilda's laugh for this, or they reused this laugh for Gruntilda
1999, before banjo kazooie, i think...
Nope, BK came out in 1998.
I'm pretty sure they aren't even close to being same sound effect, but I couldn't find Gruntilda's laugh as a standalone effect on RUclips to compare so idk
vaiyt It sounds alot alike, just a bit warbled and maybe pitched/stretched

The boss himself wasn't very scary, but his jumping patterns were absolutely terrifying...
I would get shivers down my spine just wondering which platform he would jump to next.
Toad, stop laughing.
:D
That isn't Toad.
This boss really freaked me out as a kid. Not exactly scary, but creepy as all hell.
One of the hardest bosses ever(certainly very long too).
the moment when you defeat this guy with this intense theme makes it more satisfying.
I agree. It is pure genius
Tim Burton-esque taken from charmingly creepy to just fucking scary.
THIS IS THE BEST BOSS EVER IN ANY VIDEO GAME!!!!! I hope my nintendo never breaks lol.
Its like heard Pennywise having lots of fun
Yeah. I bet Rare's gonna do it, too (I hope so!)! If a good number of these levels and bosses scared me as a kid with the N64's graphics, just imagine them in 360 res! It's getting scared of demonic toys all over again! Evil toys and giant blowfish! Ahh, the memories.

I love the boss music in Rare N64 games: it's always minor, it's always really fast, and a shit ton of arpeggios.
I think I've figured out why Mad Jack was considerably harder than the other bosses (minus K. Rool). You actually don't have to get the 3rd boss key to progress to the next area since Frantic Factory and Gloomy Galleon are unlocked at the same time. So, in reality, you really didn't have to get the key until it was time to unlock Hideout Helm.
The boss is hard and frustrating (until you get the hang of it), but the theme makes up for it.
@Danielcreeper I'll say, the rabbit race (that was my last one) or the mini game in creepy castle were you have to push beavers in a hole. am I right?
you guys are so right. his laugh gives me chills every time i hear it. it is also awesome beyond belief. its a donald duck in a box for the win.... lol.
one of the best boss fights in video games, even though i almost destroyed my TV
