@@Ballaam Scary thing about Lanky falling and dancing with himself is that if you pause during his fall, you'll see there's only one. He's all alone in the void..
Things I've learned after an hour of watching this: - walls don't exist - sometimes crashing the game is optimal - the fastest path to 100% is the one that appears the most arbitrary
(Assuming you're referring to the end of Castle 1 and Aztec 1 where the game freezes visually). That's just a reset, BizHawk (the emulator used to make this) keeps the last frame held during resets until the Nintendo logo appears.
Unless a faster method is found. That’s why I personally prefer LOTADs. Low Optimized Tool Assisted Demonstrations. Basically, the broken shenanigans of a TAS and one-shotting hard tricks without the pretense of “this is the absolute perfect run”
Fun fact: the very last banana in the game is the only one with the Rareware logo on it instead of the N64 logo, and it’s collected just at 1:29:50, when the TAS isn’t even two hours in the game
This game is on another level. As a kid you love the goofy sounds and gameplay and as an adult you realize Donkey Kong was trying to tell you how it feels to be older.
Five apes being in a hurry to defeat a crocodile that stole all of their bananas, while disrespecting the established laws of physics like monkeys on uncarthographed islands usually do.
In case you’re wondering: Candy’s upgrades and Sniper Mode don’t count towards 101% and aren’t needed for the speed run which explains why he never purchased them
but homing ammo does? or is it just intended/mandatory for some banana-tasks (not mini-games) like chunky being invisible (for the bats) in castle or lanky (at night, again for bats) in forest?
@@TheJayKayA It's a practical thing, it's used mostly for the tower on top of the castle and the vulture in the temple. Nah, the real funny thing is that none of Tiny's moves are needed...
Afaik it's a camera hack to let us viewers see whats happening during Tag-Barrel-Storage (at least the longer ones, because it's basically just a black screen as long as TBS is in effect). This hack is only for demonstration purposes and doesn't affect the gameplay in any way. If I mixed things up, I'd be glad if someone can correct it.
@@Chaosnerd the tag barrel normally puts a black overlay along with all the kong’s models over the game area. Unloading the barrel removes it but still stores the menu. I’m not sure on the black screen but I don’t think it has to do with a mod of any kind EDIT: He never actually left the tag barrel’s radius now that I look closer. I think it is a mod of some kind
Oh hey!! Hold on there!! what exactly is going on at 28:18??!????!?!!!! I just can't believe what I see, that you made it seem like its the easiest part in the entire game, in what in fact is the most difficult and intimidating part of the entire game!! In what I spent a lot of my precious time if my child for absolutely nothing!!!! Come in man !! What the hell!!! I spent literally days upon RAGE to get the rhythm of the mechanics and even though I got something out or the mechanics I just couldn't get it done so left it!!!! But you must tell me how you did it!!!
What is going on is that the movement (Walking, Running, Jumping, Swimming etc.) the game considers us in is "Klaptrap Kong". Normally there is no way to exit Klaptrap Kong movement at all until you beat Beaver Bother. That being said, with this glitch, we use a beaver to push us into a wall to a sufficient amount. Since the surrounding walls are slippery, it forces us into the sliding moving state. After which, we are returned to the Idle movement state and gain back all our traditional abilities including shockwave. That being said, this glitch is by no means easy, and beating Beaver Bother normally is miles easier.
I thought I knew how things were working for this TAS, and then DK pulled the auto production lever and somehow immediately started up the 2nd run of the DK Arcade game and I realized just how naïve I was.
In short, we tricked the Lever into thinking we started pulling it (escaping Gorilla Grab by getting damaged). The lever that the kong has progressed far enough into an animation (to the same point as the end of the Gorilla Grab animation), at which point it will activate the start of the pull into Arcade. We use Tiny's idle animation to trigger this as it is sufficiently long enough. After pulling the lever in power shed, the game starts to play the production room on cutscene, but gets interrupted by the arcade lever finishing the process of pulling you into Arcade. This skips having to watch the production room on cutscene and allows for some clever routing
For the first 3 minutes during the tutorial, I thought that there might not be any glitches involved. Then I remembered that this was a Rareware N64 game when DK did a back-handspring into the next time zone.
6:01I must have forgotten the part of the game where the camera goes off on a noir detective adventure and picks up some of Donkey's bananas and a GB for him. Its really sending me back

It's video editing to indicate when the player would normally just see a black screen. There's something we can do in memory to remove this black screen, which does show the environment in full color, but the filter is applied afterwards as a communication method
