Diddy: Jeeping junglebucks, there's no end to this, is there?! DK: Not sure, little buddy, but as long as we keep going, we're gonna find SOMETHING. We can't give up now! BANANAAA SLAMMA!
in an alternate universe rare never got sold to microsoft and we got something like this instead of donkey konga. the dedication and work of these fans are incredible
In an alternate universe DK64 is a smaller game and actually has fun mission to do in the levels as well as fun platforming and double+triple jumps for all characters.
Most of the talent that was behind the original DKC games was already long gone BEFORE the sale to Microsoft, so not sure things would've been much different tbh.
the combo of creative use of old assets and new level design ideas is so cool. Found this channel like a week ago and I've loved every single level I've seen, I really hope some kind of version of all these is released/playable sometime soon, these are all top notch
I love the idea of having the DK barrels cycle through the different characters so you can change up your playstyle on the fly. Great way to keep the levels feeling fresh every time instead of locking you into one duo the whole time.
The way you capture the essense of the original trilogy is simply out of this world, man, this is awesome, top notch, just perfect: I really love all levels shown this far, gotta say my all time favs are Konkreto, the level in the clouds, the Marathon Monkeys and this one here. All mind blowing
I can’t even imagine the amount of work that was put into this masterpiece. The level and music were literally, out of this world. I’d buy this game in a heartbeat.
This was my favorite level; it's the kind of level that drives me to tears. The music, the atmosphere, that sense of wonder I used to have in the SNES era... This level gave it breath.
I understand how you feel it brings you back brother, for me its elementary school, sitting on my cousins floor, one of the old tvs where it was built into a piece of furniture haha
I was half expecting a kaizo challenge fuck rom hack, when I saw “DKC4”, but man, I’m so happy I was wrong. All the original and reused assets look so good and the level design has some real care put into it. If you had put this in front of me when I was a kid in the 90s and told me Rare made it, I’d 100% believe you. Great work!
Yeah it became a Grant Kirkhope baby circus vibe instead of the otherworldly dreamscapes David wise and the team nailed in the original trilogy. That vibe really peaked with dkc2 but this is really close!
Great point! I never played DK64 but seeing it felt so strange after the amazing music & visuals of DKC. I just hadn't really thought of why until now :)
Dk64 is one of my favorites from my childhood but i do agree they did not transition that feel from the 2d games when they went over to 3d. Now I'll take off the rose colored glasses for a moment and admit its not the greatest game ever but let me give you a good example of a series that threw it all away and maybe you can give it some grace. Look at Earthworm Jim, they had the same thing going that the 2d DK games had in terms of ambience and art direction coupled with good gameplay. Earthworm Jim 3d is one of the worst games ever and they seriously trashed every single thing that made the series great it completely killed the franchise. DK still continues to this day regardless of how DK64 was perceived, it was still a commercial success, now it was awhile till another game came out afterwards but it didn't kill it completely.
wow, so cool! At first I thought this was a new fan-made sequel. Well, even though it's just one level, it looks very cool and the music is fantastic. Great job!
I like that you can choose whoever from the dk barrels but I also wish there was a new kong to play to keep with tradition of adding a new kong each game ya'know.
Modern dkc: here’s a rocket barrel, don’t hit anything on the way up, good luck! Cranky Kong: back in my day we didn’t have any of them newfangled rocket barrels, they made us climb to space with barrel cannons, ropes, and old fashioned jumps, yes they did! You whippersnappers have no idea how good you have it these days! All jokes aside, this was a beautifully crafted level, with both the theming and music creating something truly unique in the world of DKC levels. I’m not sure how I feel about having more than two kongs at a time, it feels like it would be a bit cluttered compared to the usual two. If this becomes a full release I’d hope things are balanced around having all the kongs and not just watered down difficulty.
My gosh this is so beautiful in every way. The fact the series turns 30 in November and all Nintendo has given us thus far is a Switch port of DKC Returns is maddening. I've read in comments this project has been canceled. We need something more this year and I'm sad this won't be finished.
I’m intrigued on what the King K. Rool battle could be like for this game, I only just learned about this DKC4 fan project today after it appeared in my recommendations and I really enjoyed watching all of the videos about the levels that were made so far, and the music is top notch for each one of them. 😊
Watched all the Level Videos. Awesome stuff, much much better then the demo that was released years ago. The costume stages feel far more "rare-esqe" the only thing missing are new enemies that fit the levels. DKC4 currently looks more likea celebration of all 3 games then an own game with its own identity. I dont mean that negatively but i think it has the potential to be more then just that. Also more important is how the overworld is build up. I would love to see some DKC3 style overworld mixed with the old ones but with some unique progression.
Thanks for the feedback, and I agree with you. Most of these levels were made in a context to be played individually and therefore aimed to demonstrate mechanics and gameplay, which is why the level design most of the time seems generic. The project ended up stagnating after a while and I ended up joining the team during a time when the members no longer had time to invest in it, so I decided to record some of the work I developed in the project here on my channel, and I hope May the project get going again one day.
Curious as to what persona K Rool will be this time around. King in 1. Pirate captain in 2. Mad scientist in 3. Some kind of Darth Vader parody in 4 even though that’s been done to death. Anyways keep up the great work.
Im really hoping one day a full game will be released with all these levels and New ones with its own overworld map🔥 this is like the donkey Kong country sequal That we never got back in the day. Thanks for making these and i hope you never quit 💪 well done 🤩
I’m in love 🫢 This is the kind of creativity we need if we ever get another DK game Stunning beautiful gorgeous I want to play so bad! Great job everyone!
When I saw that you could get a second Kong following you, I was like “ohhhh!!!” Very cool work here, some great level design from what I saw in the video, gives the vibes of the best of the first three games. Love the theming too!
It's about time someone began making DKC stuff. Mario and Sonic get way too much love. (Pokemon, understandable, because the creature & gameplay formula heavily compliment modding.)
It's a bit weird seeing someone as heavy as DK having to jump on top of Click-Clack twice. For example, in DKC1, Diddy can't kill Army by jumping on top of him, but DK can. I would've expected the same idea to be transferred here: DK and Kiddy kill Click-Clack with a single hit, while Diddy and Dixie need two hits. Other than that, I'm super impressed by this fan game. It looks and works exactly like the original games, at first I thought it was a ROM hack! Props to the team.
Dixie: Hey Donkey, how can we breathe up here without helmets? DK: Good question, the reason for that is- Kiddy: Moon moon moon spoon spoon spoon, june june june, SPITOON SPITOON SPITOOOON!!
Wow, just wow: What a great level. The music and the level design are fantastic. And even if it is tough to get to the finish for sure... yet it is so well balanced, challenging but fair. Well done! By the way: Am I the only one who expected some weightlessness in the last third of the level? When the kongs were that high up in the air?
Funny how just a few weeks ago I was thinking about some old DKC sprite animation of a level of the Kongs swimming in clouds. Dall-E could not figure it out at all. Really well done level and concept here though. Maybe a swimming in space type level is possible? Zero grav nebula clouds?
Starblast Speedway, huh? Well since it's so similar to a Sonic CD zone, I'll just say that Wacky Workbench Good Future US and Fear Factory give the same vibes.
My idea initially was to use exactly the same name, but I saw that it already existed in Sonic CD and decided to change it a little to make reference to the barrel shots.
Diddy: How are we breathing up here?!
DK: No idea, little buddy.
Lol
they are in the clouds obviously
Same situation in the water! They haven’t answered since aquatic ambiance
Diddy: Jeeping junglebucks, there's no end to this, is there?!
DK: Not sure, little buddy, but as long as we keep going, we're gonna find SOMETHING. We can't give up now!
BANANAAA SLAMMA!
Same way sonic does in doomsday lol

Jungle Beat was based tho
@@crashban4t.f.s.b783Love Donkey Kong 64 but agree the way levels designed could have been better(and mini games became circus like)
@@andrewmelia5345 I want a new Donkey Kong game with full voice acting.Make it have awesome level design. Make it like sonic Frontiers. That’d be fun.

This level was amazing. The music, the creativity, all top notch
What’s crazy is the fans who love the game have better ideas than the actual creators nowadays
This ethereal vibe is the reason why I've always been a fan of this series. Something DK64 just threw in the garbage for some reason
Yeah it became a Grant Kirkhope baby circus vibe instead of the otherworldly dreamscapes David wise and the team nailed in the original trilogy. That vibe really peaked with dkc2 but this is really close!
DK64 said “find this, find this, find that, & collect th-“ eventually I said no.

Well, that was a blast full of blasts. 😊 And once again, excellent job with the visuals, level design, and music! 👍
IM IN AWE IT LOOKS AMAZING
Everything is so beautiful, everyone is doing incredible work, the music is beyond perfect for these levels.
thanks bro!

So good you aknowledge dkc3 !! He deserves it !! It's a great game too !!!!!

Im impressed!! The background is beautiful, and the music its not bad. Nice job for this hack!
I’ve never seen transparency like that on SNES 🤩
This has really the old dkc vibe. Good work.
It's beautiful, this could easily be an official game. So nostalgic
This looks awesome can't wait to play it

An astonishing work, you are very creative and have amazing ideas for new areas.
Thank you bro :)

Looks really cool and funny! Congrats for the efforts!
thanks bro!

その通りです
Man, this was incredible!! It makes me think of what could have been. Good job 👏

lol Kiddy Kong was not intended to be visible side by side with Donkey Kong
Amazing level and music though
This is great, beautiful, I love Donkey Kong, the music is spectacular, congratulations.
Wow, the background effect is absolutely amazing. Well done!!
thanks! :)
Shouldn't DK play his traditional bongo drums at the end goal? Regardless, level looks superb and really trippy lol
I agree, but bass is far cooler though
Diddy going to space to take out Wizpig once and for all
So it turns out to be diddy Kong racing 😝
That's several small steps for Kongs, one giant leap for Kongkind
Awesome level!
love it!
Fark! That first shot is great
As much as I enjoy the newer DK games, I miss this style of artwork that it use to be and this looks incredible.
Nice Work
Very beautiful level
Beautiful

Absolutely insane! This level gave me anxiety. And that’s EXACTLY what a challenging DKC level should do.
