When the SM64 120 TAS came out in 2012 I thought to myself "I wonder what a DK64 101% TAS would look like" and after over a decade Ballaam has finished what I thought would never happen. Congrats and amazing job Ballaam!

i’ve been following 101% speed runs for a long time and have always wanted a TAS for it. thank you for your time and dedication to the game and the category. ❤
I’ve been waiting for this for a long while. I.. *looks over at Conner* you got some work to do 😂 Fav part is still at 2:54:53. The fact you gotta bring in a rock to get the banana quicker out of bounds was still amusing from your older video.
EDIT: ruclips.net/video/mnLO9oPnvls/видео.html A few people are asking about a commentary VOD, so i figure I'd pin this. We had some issues with the commentary stream, since we used Discord YT share activity and found out during the comms stream that it is pure trash and no-one should ever use it again. 2dos is currently in the process of fixing up the VOD so that its a better end product for RUclips. Should be live within the coming days and ill add it to the description when it is.
We had some minor technical issues during comms (never using discord YT sharing again). I'm sending stuff over to 2dos so we can fix that for the YT upload
Every time you're in Fungai and I look away for a second because you go through a loading zone or something, I look back and you're not in Fungai anymore.
I don't even want to think about the amount of work you must have put into this Herculean task. I've always wanted to see a 101% TAS of this game. Thanks man
This is the one game I can watch get speedran over and over. It's so fascinating to watch just how much this game breaks from even a little nudge, and how that affects progression.
DK64: What are walls? Edition. 😂 Seriously though, this was a phenomenal video. Never did I think I'd seen one of the most notable games of my childhood deconstructed like this. Job well done!
Finding this just made me day and week now that I can watch it and learn so much more about the game. I can now think about how Rareware might have intentionally played us all leaving some or all these glitches for us to find one day to pass down not knowing the full extent speedrunners would develop and evolve DK64.
This was the first game I owned when I was a child. I distinctly remember getting nauseated from the camera. Maybe that subconsciously formed my dislike of Donkey Kong as an adult lol
In the amount of time it once took for people to clear Any% in a speedrun... we're now seeing times faster that that in 100%. Absolutely bonkers, honestly.
There appears to be times where the TBS cam doesn’t show up despite it seeming like TBS was being used. Is that deliberate? I’m currently at the factory section of the video and I have noticed it a couple of times.
Given this took 2 years, and AC would be longer, almost certainly no. AC also kinda removes a lot of the nice timesavers, like rabbit Race Skip and Caves blast Skip. Small banana routing would also be a bit less entertaining as there's no decision about what 25 per kong to skip, or whether it's best to trade some bananas from another kong. I'm happy to help route it, likely not TAS it
I wonder if the any% glitch that gives all power ups would speed it up at all? There was a glitch found that would give a slew of upgrades along with all weapon upgrades by using the cutscene menu and that is the glitch I am referencing.
MMM, the glitch you are referring to, is banned in 101%. This is because the game doesn't save Colored Banana or coin flags during MMM, so means that duplication is possible and far too easy to do. Additionally, it was banned as getting all the moves from the mystery bosses goes against the spirit of 101%
42:15 "What, thou hast anticipated Tiny Kong? Dost thou not know? I am not Ass Kong, forsooth I am Druid Kong. I am DK, not AK. Thou shalt feel my wrath."
So do you still have the save state from the first run and the second and do you think that someone could ever do the work to get it to sync properly? Also, is the issue related to a subframe problem and how controller inputs impact processing time for when the game actually calls the RNG seed function? Like, I kinda think I get why there was the desync with a new computer but also don't.
1) I think I do on my old SSD but it doesn't matter 2) It is possible to resync this, but it's a lot of work and I don't expect anyone to do that work. 3) Yes
1:39:55 don't know why this picture is taken in the speedrun (maybe to tank the frame rate?) But my first thought was that it was just to disrespect that rabbit which is way funnier to me
It's taken for the purpose of swag. There's no way to speed up the timer, and there's nothing else that's beneficial to the end time of the run in terms of that room to do
We had some technical issues with the comms stream (We're never using discord yt share again). 2dos is currently fixing the comms video so that it's better for YT
No intro story glitch? (said at 30 minutes in) Well, all this video shows to me is how spoiled those of us who use the DK64 Randomizer on a regular basis have become. ^^; My only criticism is that the "TBS Cam" is too small.

7:45 I can't even comprehend what just happened here. But that was awesome

Not gonna lie I would watch that in absolute awe.

A wise man once said:
"Walls are just a suggestion."
It only takes 1:17 for walls to immediately be dismissed as legitimate barriers in this game
Makes me wonder if the intangible walls on certain multiplayer maps are an in-joke from the developers.
I sure hope they add walls as dlc
DK doesn’t understand physics, so he ignores them

GGs, crazy how optimal the LOTAD was even with the route changes, a lot of cinematics and loading in this game but 13 minutes is still crazy
I never thought I’d see another video of dk 64 101% tas again, yet here we are. Glad to see history being remade.
This game was created 25 years ago. I think it deserves a remake or a remaster.
Agreed
IT'S FINALLY OUT!
Can't wait to watch some funky monkey tricks
I like how the TAS version of Beaver Bother looks like how you think it would work if you watched it
I had not expected to see a Beaver Bother comment and yet here I am, loving this exact comment
@@RainbwSpctrmThe minigame actually got me crying as a kid so it'll always stick out in my mind
@@MAYOFORCE I really have to wonder, if DK64 is being decompiled without me knowing, what nightmares are taking place in Beaver Bother's code

What if you wanted to go to heaven but god said "WELCOME TO BONUS STAGE"
Imagine that if you fail the minigame you get sent straight to hell
1:11:43
Devs: "this is a challenging mini game, designed to test your swing timing and quickness."
TAS: *"NO. JUMP GOOD."*
Your work on this game is so inspiring and I’m very happy to see the evolution! Keep it up, you are an absolute legend!
3:28: Donkey Kong jumpscare
WOW it got done!! Would love to have full commentary with interesting tidbits!
We had some minor technical issues during comms (never using discord YT sharing again). I'm sending stuff over to 2dos so we can fix that for the YT upload

GG on the TAS Ballaam! Very enjoyable and amazing

This is absolutely mental. Great job.
Pretty cool that you added that backflip at the end there. Awesome TAS!
I thoroughly enjoyed every bit of this. I still can't believe you decided to improve the hundo lotad and I coulnd't be happier that you did!
Great TAS video!
The glitch gremlin wanted me to tell you he really loves this TAS and that you’ve made him proud.
This is the one game I can watch get speedran over and over. It's so fascinating to watch just how much this game breaks from even a little nudge, and how that affects progression.
Wow. I can't decide whether the execution or the routing is more impressive. I have no clue what's going on half the time and I love it. :D
7:42
I KNEW THE MUSIC STARTED AT THIS MOMENT
A lot of clips or videos are quiet when the Diddy fight happens
I’m glad that I wasn’t crazy lol

just a casual gamer watching this. its crazy how far an old game can be pushed. gg
WELL DONE!! True gaming accomplishment.
This sudden Chunky jumpscare made me laugh 36:31

This was the first game I owned when I was a child. I distinctly remember getting nauseated from the camera. Maybe that subconsciously formed my dislike of Donkey Kong as an adult lol
Congrats. Huge props
I thought a TAS would be too much after seeing the LOTAD, incredible stuff! A shame about the resync situation, but either way a work of art!
In the amount of time it once took for people to clear Any% in a speedrun... we're now seeing times faster that that in 100%. Absolutely bonkers, honestly.
5:45 “screw this let’s show our moves”
25:35 Nice touch shooting Listerine
YOU;RE BACK!!! OMG I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!
Can someone explain every detail that happened between 0:00 and 3:58:46?
watching this on double speed was more intense than tripping on acid
It's nice to see you upload again. Been loving the randomizer too.
(Psst... do a video on my iceberg ;)) lol.
I never realized how many damn bonus stages there are in this game until I watched this
Now this is going to be a Saturday evening well spent, 4 hours of Donkey Kong 64 destruction!
It's finally here! "Oh! Banana!" 201 times but in the fastest way possible.
Cant wait to watch
i want a tas animatic of how it appears
like really. right at the start
AH what a beautiful day to defy physics!
There appears to be times where the TBS cam doesn’t show up despite it seeming like TBS was being used. Is that deliberate? I’m currently at the factory section of the video and I have noticed it a couple of times.
I didn't do TBS cam for the sections which are less significant
*Enters Hideout Helm early.*
"Oh, that's interesting. I beat leaving the level cancels the timer."
*Timer Persists.*
"Oh noooo..."
That spider at 1:02:40 always scared me as a kid xD
The amount of tag barrel glitching is intense
I know it's a little bit early, but do you have any plans on doing an All Collectibles run?

329K wow
Watching him do the kamikaze kremlins it's like the tas bot treats it like a round of smash bros 😂
I can't wait to see 4 hours of broken physics and OHHHH BANANA!
this is the craziest thing i have ever seen
God damn, this TAS is just pure insanity and in the best possible way.
"What do you mean walls are fake as the floors are in banjo... OH GOD"
And when the world needed him most he vanished... ayo Bismuth, we need a play by play on how this happened...

Now I'm curious how much of a run a good TASer could do while inside the tag Barrel glitch🤔
Wait I could of sworn 101% allowed ISG. I musg be thinking of NLE.
Anyways what a great accomplishment!!! Truly insane stuff watching this
101% has never allowed ISG
@Ballaam OK I'm just making stuff up then lol. Good to know.

Hey ballaam will you make a reverse key TAS?
I've seen all I needed to see. This TAS was so beautiful to watch 🥹🥹 kinda wanna go 101% dk64 now. 😭
Incredible
this is a fever dream
2:31:00 what is up with the tilted walking stuff? This happens a few times in this TAS...
That's Skew, which allows us to walk through any wall of any angle with ease cause collision doesn't properly function at the base of the kong
Thank you! Skew, that's actually a pretty good name for the effect 😂
Will you upload the tas with commentary?

Wait. You unlocked chunky during the the cuttout fight. How come he didn't show up in the tag barrel?
I didn't unlock him there. I unlock him in Factory
You have to leave with the current kong individually it looks like . He didn’t do that with chunky
