This video was initially demonetized. Looks like it's all good after a review, though! There was a line I said that was possibly slightly lewd out of context, maybe you'll notice it. That is my best guess as to why it was demonetized at first, but we're good now! :)
late to this, but rare had no involvement with the DK arcade game, not sure why it says rub otherwise though (for the record, it also says it in the original 1981 arcade version, not just this port)
Random trivia about this game: The worlds in this game are designed in pairs. There are 4 DK Worlds (that you enter from DK Island) and 4 Kremling worlds (that you enter on K. Rool's island). Each DK world has a matching Kremling world that that is the opposite of it in theming. So for example this world, Frantic Factory, is the Kremling version of Jungle Japes (Jungle Japes is all about nature where this one is all about mechanics.)
So by that Logic the worlds would compare like this: Jungle Japes = Frantic Factory. Fungi Forest = Gloomy Galleon. Crystal Caves = Creepy Castle. Angry Aztec = Hideout Helm.
@@CesarTorres61296 Actually I think it goes like this: Jungle Japes = Frantic Factory Angry Aztec = Gloomy Galleon (the opposite of Desert level is water level) Fungi Forest = Creepy Castle (Fungi Forest is all about life whereas Creepy Castle is all about death) Crystal Cavern = Hideout Helm (Crystal Cavern is the heart of DK Island and Hideout Helm is the heart of K. Rool's base) This also makes more sense because it makes a pattern. The game goes in order: Unlock 2 DK stages then unlock the 2 Kremling Stages that correspond to them. Then repeat, unlock 2 DK Stages then again unlock the 2 Kremling Stages that correspond to them. This also, also makes most of them have equivalent locations on DK Island VS K. Rool Island (Jungle Japes and Frantic Factory are both pretty close to the main entrances, Angry Aztec and Gloomy Galleon are both on the outside edges, Fungi and Creepy on the very top, Crystal and Hideout are both inside the head)
Fun fact: Rare has the player character's speed increase with the lag. This means that, although the game itself slows down, the Kong moves faster in-game to cancel it out. This makes it easier to overlook (which is what Scykoh was talking about at 4:55-ish). On the other hand, it means that you can clip through walls if there is a lot of lag. I only know this because of Bismuth's analysis video of the TAS of this game, it is worth checking out if you want to understand some of the weird stuff in this game.
Wow that is both genius and also hilariously game breaking. I love it because for the common player they just have a more enjoyable experience but it also adds a really fun tool for speed runners
Well, I recently discovered your channel through my recommendations, and the quality of your content is lovely - especially passion-wise. This game was a huge part of my childhood, and watching your walkthrough randomly caused me to start playing Banjo Tooie again - good times. Keep on rolling, mate ♥
Another Kong means I've got more roll counting ahead of me! More likely long jumps, though, as Chunky doesn't really have a roll IIRC. DK Roll Count: This Episode: 89 Total: 265 Diddy Cartwheel Count: This Episode: 0 Total: 148 Tiny Roll Count: This Episode: 0 Total: 165 Lanky Long Jump Count: This Episode: 6 Total: 46
Ah yes, JRPG logic brb teaching my pigeon monster how to fly, my bug monster with scythes for hands how to cut trees, my giant buff dude how to push boulders, my electric rat how to light up a cave and my giant loch ness monster how to swim
I am glad that you made an appropriately big deal about how hard that Donkey Kong arcade segment was. That crud took me so stinkin' long to get that back in the day!
Hi Scykoh, thank you for all your great videos, and let's plays. I'm from the Netherlands, so when you upload your video in the afternoon, I will get them in the morning. It is great and wonderful to begin each day, watching your let's plays. Please, keep doing what you're doing. I hope you never quit.
Frantic Factory has some of the best design, music, puzzles, and lore in the entire game, and I can't wait to see you battle Mad Jack! I think I'll save my theory about him for the comment on that video, but suffice it to say for now that he's my favorite boss in DK64 from both a design and headcanon standpoint! Also, it's been a hot minute since Diddy's been a menace...
This series has inspired me to go back and play DK64 for the first time in years. I've never actually beaten it, but hopefully there will be some tips and tricks i can learn from watching you play! Unfortunately, once I found my N64 I realized I'm gonna have buy a new Expansion Pack before i can actually play it. But at least i can enjoy your videos in the meantime!
Ash Ketchum could easily give Chunky a piggy back ride. Just at how he casually held Cosmoem with that weight. And this game even says that Chunky weighs over 2000 lbs.
I feel the same about low-fps game and stuff. As of today, I haven't played a single game in 60fps (I'm not proud of this lol) but what really sickens me is when people automatically say a game is bad because it's not at 60 fps or it has some frame dropping.
I've been playing DK64 for years, and to this day, I don't think I've seen the entirety of Frantic Factory. Same with a few of the levels, but this one in particular. It's absolutely massive.
When I first unlocked Frantic Factory and Gloomy Galleon, I was overwhelmed with joy to find Gloomy Galleon, and missed the part where Frantic Factory was opened. We had to depend on my 4 year old brother, a preschooler, who managed to find both Frantic Factory and Chunky Kong, while we were in school. That was a complete shock to all of us. We didn't believe him at first.
21:11 From getting to the final level on the first try to getting gently smacked in the face by a barrel on the first stage - not often I laugh out loud, but this got me!
6:12 - an extra fun tidbit about Mechanical Zingers, if you hit them once they begin to smoke and start to malfunction, their grenade dropping accuracy decreases a great deal and makes it harder for them to hit you. However Lanky, Tiny and I believe Diddy, have to hit them 3 times with their weapons, and their white smoke will turn Black, and their Grenade Dropping accuracy decreases even more when they have black smoke. It's minor but when I was young playing the game I was fascinated at the little bit of detail Rare added to the enemy. :)
Wow. Today was the first time I have beat the arcade twice! I remember lodging a controller in my TV when I was younger because of that side level! What I've noticed is that sometimes it can be kinder for all four levels, and you'll notice it. On the third level, that fire ball will just kind of hang out up top. On the second level, the pies stop coming completely on the middle right side so you can speed run it. Hard to explain, but I started noticing that and took advantage of it when I saw it again and did all four levels with 2 lives to spare like you did!
I kinda wish I found out about this lets play a couple of months later, so I could bingewatch it! Ah well, something to look forward to (almost) daily :)
A weird little tidbit about this game is if you’re about to fall from a great height, make sure you stay crouched the entire time you fall. I would recommend you try it where the cellar door like door is. :)
I have a huge love hate relationship with frantic factory. And a HUGE BURNING HATRED FOR GLOOMY GALLEON. But we've got time This part is after finishing. You really did a great job on the donkey kong arcade part. I've been known to get stuck there for a long time for some reason.
1:16 could be explained by interrupting wires used to keep them open or closed, though id assume they just didnt realize it doesnt have a proper explanation, but might have made sense to the developers at the time
Yea real collectathons dont really get made anymore. And even if someone tried to Beat the record it would be hard to incorporate that many Things without ist getting tedious.
Wow, Scykoh's really gonna specifically go to an unopened level and talk about B. Locker then still not do the secret that I've been asking to see. I know that wasn't actually just to mess with me but it was funny how it worked out. "If we go down here before we do Frantic Factory........ we can do this level, but anyway now onto Frantic Factory!" The factory was always my favorite level as a little childer because of the music and the general look of the place. I saw that little alphabet block with the triangle platform and got hit by flashbacks harder than nearly anything else in this series so far, I have no idea why. (Also gotta love unexpectedly hearing OSRS music.)
Yo Falkuz! I'll be talking about that secret once we get to our next episode where collecting everything on that Kong leaves the episode a bit short and we need a little more run time.
On one hand that's good to know that you'll show it but on the other hand it's the weekend so now I have to wait two days for more DK64 so can I really be happy about it? (i sure hope it doesn't turn out to not work after all this buildup)
Hey Scykoh, I don't know if you know this but in DK64 when the game lags your character actually speeds up so that the lag isn't as noticeable. It's an interesting mechanic that I've only ever seen in this game, just thought you might wanna know if you didn't!
When I heard that u can play the arcade using the d-pad i was like YES!! I love the n64 controller, but playing this one with that stick wouldn’t be the best thing
Love your commentary and the play of the game. How did you get your screen so light though? I can't get mine to do that. I literally watch your video as I play just so I can actually see everything.
Well the lever does make sense kinda.. The potion enhances strength, giving dk enough power to pull levers unlike the others. Or if you wanna be specific it's kinda link can only pull out the master sword. Even tho there others stronger than him. "Only the worthy" cliche pretty much happens here with dk and link.
Yeah man, Frantic Factory is my favourite level in DK64 :-) The music is cool, the enemies are unique, and the layout is fun. The boss fight is very annoying, however!
3rd view first like and first comment. I never clicked so fast This level. One of My favorites, but it fills me with a deep primal fear and anxiety, the menacing and childish score that doesn't play by the rules of staying on key, the dark atmosphere, and the boss... oh God the boss... I to this day have probably fought him a few hundred times in my nightmares. This level stuck with me for decades
This video was initially demonetized. Looks like it's all good after a review, though! There was a line I said that was possibly slightly lewd out of context, maybe you'll notice it. That is my best guess as to why it was demonetized at first, but we're good now! :)
Yay king!!!
That's good to hear! Also, with regards to blue bananas, ripe (i.e. yellow) bananas actually look blue under UV light. The more you know.
"possibly slightly lewd out of context"
Yeah sounds about right for youtube in 2021
Scykoh saying L E W D things out of context? Noooo. ;)
was it 15:12 ? =)
And then there’s Chunky... HE LIVES
DK, Chunky Lives
@@anonymous7024HUH!! DK. Chunky Lives.
Dk Now the song is over.
The good ending
The reason it says rub for backspace in the dk arcade game is that in Britain, a rubber is what they call an eraser and Rare is a British company
Hmm, that may be it. I do wonder if the original 1981 arcade game also said rub or if that was just added for this version.
@@ScykohPlays lol what. i thought people in Britain called A rubber, A condom.

It occurs to me how much I've overthought everything about this but I really love the world building in this game I think it's really cool
@@Wisel8 That would actually make sense.
@@Wisel8 please never stop overthinking your favourite games man, your imagination is endless ✨
"Rubbing one out of existence" an excellent choice of words but not quite the right ones.
Scycoh: "... Rubbing one out of existence..."
RUclips: "DEMONITIZE!"
Edit: I made this comment before seeing this actually happened. Whoops.
Fun fact: Rare has the player character's speed increase with the lag. This means that, although the game itself slows down, the Kong moves faster in-game to cancel it out. This makes it easier to overlook (which is what Scykoh was talking about at 4:55-ish). On the other hand, it means that you can clip through walls if there is a lot of lag.
I only know this because of Bismuth's analysis video of the TAS of this game, it is worth checking out if you want to understand some of the weird stuff in this game.
Which is why they spam grenades to cause super lag and phase through barriers.
Wow that is both genius and also hilariously game breaking. I love it because for the common player they just have a more enjoyable experience but it also adds a really fun tool for speed runners
Hot crossed buns are literally crusty bread rolls with an 'x' scored in the top before they get baked...
Seeing Lanky's swag walk in the beginning makes me feel a lot of nostalgia.

yes
Scykoh, those daily uploads from you have been a blessing for me.
These times are rough for everyone, but I can only speak for myself.

Wow. I remember struggling so much with that Donkey Kong Arcade game as a kid. You're a psycho gamer for getting that Nintendo Coin first try :)
I am glad that you made an appropriately big deal about how hard that Donkey Kong arcade segment was. That crud took me so stinkin' long to get that back in the day!
I've always thought that the cave where Snide's HQ is on DK Isles was one of the coziest looking places I've seen.
You comment every video
The music in frantic factory is god tier. Best song in the game.
Hi Scykoh, thank you for all your great videos, and let's plays.
I'm from the Netherlands, so when you upload your video in the afternoon, I will get them in the morning.
It is great and wonderful to begin each day, watching your let's plays.
Please, keep doing what you're doing. I hope you never quit.
22:04 The DK in the arcade game is actually Cranky Kong in DK64.
Frantic Factory has some of the best design, music, puzzles, and lore in the entire game, and I can't wait to see you battle Mad Jack! I think I'll save my theory about him for the comment on that video, but suffice it to say for now that he's my favorite boss in DK64 from both a design and headcanon standpoint!
Also, it's been a hot minute since Diddy's been a menace...
The Donkey Kong of the arcade games is actually Cranky as of the DKC era, with the DK from then on being Donkey Kong Jr. From the arcade series.
I cannot overstate how much I loved this level solely because it had the original Donkey Kong arcade game in it.
Chunky is my favorite Kong. Glad to see him!
This series has inspired me to go back and play DK64 for the first time in years. I've never actually beaten it, but hopefully there will be some tips and tricks i can learn from watching you play! Unfortunately, once I found my N64 I realized I'm gonna have buy a new Expansion Pack before i can actually play it. But at least i can enjoy your videos in the meantime!
These vids really been helping me lately Scykoh, a sincere thank you
Same
And then there's Chunky. He's alive
Ash Ketchum could easily give Chunky a piggy back ride. Just at how he casually held Cosmoem with that weight. And this game even says that Chunky weighs over 2000 lbs.
that's probably in his Hunky Chunky ability
No way CHUNKY kong is alive did someone used the dragon Ball to wish him to life gust to capture him?
Scykoh, you're the greatest, love your work, love the vids, your style of videos is what I wish we saw more of. Thank you
It kinda makes sense for DK64 donkey to play against Donkey in the Arcade Game. Its implied OG Donkey Kong is Cranky who clearly isnt Fond of pur DK

Ah, yes Frantic Factory. Perhaps the coolest level in terms of anesthetics, but one that still gives me PTSD cause of the BLASTED DK ARCADE GAME!

ooooh my god this level scared me so bad as a kid!! cant wait to see it handled bravely and efficiently for the first time in my life
I was just watching one of your old videos and I gotta say, I miss the old outro
Yes A little bit of RuneScape music!! Loved that!
One thing to note about Frantic Factory it takes place directly UNDER K rools Throne room we see him in meaning the kongs are literally under his nose
love the old school runescape music at 2:20
I love the classic donkey Kong music 😁
I saw this and could not believe it when I saw this, like my childhood game but it’s a letsplay in 2021 geez this is insane

Chunky Kong for Smash.

So let it be known: DK64 did the whole "game within a game" thing long before Animal Crossing! XD
One Nintendo coin huh?
Maybe there are not so many after Diddy grab them and use it for racing
0:28 the magic player in me just wants to call it the grapeshot

Tbh, i used to think Diddy didn't fly away on time and got beaten up. Pretty much because you could hear the same sound effect than when you die.
