Honestly, I don't dislike deep jungle that much. It's bigger than most worlds in KH1 but once you memorize the layout it's pretty easy. The main confusing element is knowing to turn around and climb the vines after the hippo room, and knowing when to go back to the tent.
@@dddmemaybeIt sucks the first time, but thats because the game doesnt tell you where youre supposed to go. It's not that bad on repeat playthroughs but i remember the first time was miserable
I actually didn't have that much trouble with this world when I was younger. Admittedly the game doesn't tell you much in the way of conveyance in this world, but little me liked exploring so I just kept doing trial and error till I finished it. Wonderland on the other hand can burn in a fire.
I never played KH1 till now, only KH2 and 3. I was really enjoying the game until I got hit by this demonic world! This world SINGLE HANDEDLY almost made me delete this freaking game, until I give up and decided to just look up a guide. Thanks for the guide. I'm so glad I'm not the only one who thinks this world is absolutely dogwater in every way
Honestly, I miss the intricate, confusing and complex layout of KH1 worlds. They could be frustrating at times (hello Deep Jungle, Hollow Bastion, Monstro), but the barren combat rooms of KH2 onward really are missing a certain something.
I think they can make it both interesting and not confusing. they just need give the areas more shape and substance. the worlds in kh1 aren't really confusing because the rooms are interesting, it's because it doesn't tell you where to go and you have to backtrack repeatedly. I think deep jungle is just the worst of it because it's only actually like 4 rooms and you just have to go back and forth and back and forth 100 times in a different order every time
The game design for the Jungle world is beyond terrible. Like seriously. How could they ever imagine that children would be able to navigate through this intuitivly?
@@vooshmoozik6185 I worded that wrong: we didn’t have RUclips. We had FAQs posted to some forum, and that was basically it. Or you had your buddies at school who was able to complete it.
Bruh you have NO GOD DAMN IDEA how badly something like this was needed back in the day. It was years before YT would even be a thing back then so looking up a guide was near impossible.
Thanks for this, Sham. I didn’t have any issues with this world on my most recent playthrough. But for someone who just wants to get through it quickly, this is bound to be helpful.
I legit stopped playing this game for around 2 years because this world frustrated me. Used your walkthrough yesterday and cleared it. Thanks. I don't know how 12 year old me managed to get through so many levels.
I actually beat it long ago I don't think I've seen videos when i first played it i remember because i hated Alice in wonderland far more than this level
The first few times I played KH1 there's always a point where I've done several laps around the entire world of Deep Jungle trying to find what triggers the next cutscene. It turns out that it's in the campsite but only happens by leaving the tent, which you have no reason to go inside at that point. It's hard to map out in your head since the world is so vertical and you can't see which room you'll go to through each doorway. It's just as bad in Traverse Town early on, where I'll have gone through all 3 districts fighting every heartless I come across, thinking I need to find all the cutscenes where Donald and Goofy just barely miss finding Sora. Instead, all you need to do is beat a few heartless then return to Cid's shop. Strangely, later worlds like Halloween Town and even Hollow Bastion are much easier to navigate since there's actual landmarks to orient yourself. KH1 pointing the camera towards the doorway you came through instead of starting it behind Sora makes the worlds more difficult to navigate, especially since there's no map, minimap or compass.
Yeah, terrible game design really, especially when you consider that this was made for children. The game offers very little in "hey this way" format. Even the older final fantasy games at this point in time offered some waypoint to navigate too, eventhough they had no lighthouse pointer on the mini map like alot of modern games does nowadays.
2024, thank you. I knew it would be a hassle after beating KH1 a half dozen times as a child. I genuinely enjoy Deep Jungle, but the propensity to get lost is abysmal. Beat DJ in 30 minutes on proud (after getting the Dalmatians and messing around some for exp). Also, Clayton is so annoying. Took me 3 tries lol.
Not only does this level screw with me bc of the terrible platforming but bc I'm r/g colorblind trying to differentiate btw the climable/swingable vines and background textures is a nightmare. Esp while the camera is struggling to keep up while you're moving. Even finding the brown slide tokens on brown assets is hard. Thank you for this!
Two worlds in and I give up on this game, I really wanted to like it and the opening was very interesting and hooked me in, but JEEZ did this world and the previous wonderland world leave such an awful taste in my mouth.
I’ve been stuck at the vines for so long! I’m playing on computer, and all I need to do was lock on and press enter. No more pressing ‘W’ or space bar like I’ve been doing. 😭 Finally got that chest.
I first did this world on the fucking switch cloud ports. That fact made it one of the worst experiences in my life. Maybe thats just cause switch ports
1:14 while this sounds like a complete contradiction of what he said in the opening, this is technically ivy and not a vine, which means the opening statement is still accurate
I just Bought KH al In One Pack on PS4 and GOD the first game rn is really meh... the combat is like luck based wheter or not i get hit idk how to do the different attacks and GOD the puzzles i HATE puzzles AND I GET LOST 100% OF THE TIME TRYING TO KNOW WHAT I HAVE TO DO and i *HATE* *THESE* *VINES!!!!!*
the song is Backtracking from the Digital Devil Saga 2 OST
Based SMT Stickman???
He's played a bunch of SMT games on stream, the VODs can be found on the alternate Live channel :o
Will there more videos like this one?
play the vid at 2x speed and it's about the same speed as beating deep jungle in 10 minutes
Fitting
Not even doing this for speedrunning reasons, I just want to get through this bull as quickly as possible.
Deep jungle is great
@@CesarD321 in other news, water is dry
@@spg1014 why do you have a video of you making fart noises with your mouth?
@@CesarD321 it truly is.
I just stop playing a few months ago and no clue where I left off so I’m using this
The reason that Sham *actually* posted this video was to make the statement at 4:00. The rest was just to get our attention.

I also always enjoy this world when I play it. It's not really confusing for an adult brain.

Thank you, magical flower of teleportation. Without you, we would have several frustrating minutes stuck in vine hell.
Kh vet here...idk how i got through this as a kid because i legit got stuck today, as an adult. Thank you man
Sounds like me 😂

Lol I just breezed through wonderland and can’t get through this
I need to go back in time and show kid me this
Oh hello. I follow your IG. Started with your KH memes but it turns out I like most of your stuff anyway.
@@TahuNuva2008 same!
Hey are you that guy that's Always helpful too me on the kh discord.
Fr I seriously think developers purposely made things harder just for walkthrough books would sell better
Unfortunately the minigame skips won't work on the original PS2 version.
The vines. THE VINES.

@@perkypears I think KHIII manages a good balance of this, for the most part (except Elsa's ice castle in Arendelle, *that* can go fuck off).
Kingdom Hearts 2 is just a bunch of corridors.
The game design for the Jungle world is beyond terrible. Like seriously. How could they ever imagine that children would be able to navigate through this intuitivly?
I mean hey, we all did it when we played the game first back in 2002, and we didn’t have the internet to help us like today.
@@UnclePhil1112 we had internet, we just didn't have youtube

Tell me about it those damn vines are impossible
I did this shit when I was young now I'm having a hard time 🤦🏽♂️

I've needed this for 21 years
this single handedly restored my childhood. thank you
Thank you for this video, Deep Jungle is the shittiest world I've ever visited.
4:00 can you blame her though
reject duckiness, become a monke
*Her
I love deep jungle for nostalgia reasons but after like 5 minutes of arriving I'm already ready to leave the map is horrible
I wasn't even aware you can skip the sliding mini game with Tarzan 😮
now i am the king of the junjle
a wolf lion hybrid mix
but still social, and with it, and ferocious!
Now this is some efficiency I can get behind.
I legit stopped playing this game for around 2 years because this world frustrated me. Used your walkthrough yesterday and cleared it. Thanks. I don't know how 12 year old me managed to get through so many levels.
Im loving seeing this and finding out that it can also break your game thanks 3hrs spent just to do it all over again..
the vines swing is the worse mechnic ive ever touched in my life. its horribe
I was cool with Deep Jungle on my first playthrough, but I could not hang on the second, so I'm glad there's a video like this to make my time easier.
Legend has it many are still stuck there
I actually beat it long ago I don't think I've seen videos when i first played it i remember because i hated Alice in wonderland far more than this level
Thank god this map was fucking the shit out of me… been walking for an hour without knowing what to do
Thanks man, this stage was driving me crazy

I’m freaking used to playing through these games that I’ve basically learned all the speedrunning tricks
I like this map except for the vines
the deep jungle track is amazing tho, always coming back to it
Idk. Deep jungle always felt the most fun to explore. I think wonderland and monstro are more annoying
wonderland is baby level compared to deep jungle, you must have had a special childhood if your logic is backwards
@@vooshmoozik6185 I had the internet. Wonderland is hard to follow on tutorials
2024, thank you. I knew it would be a hassle after beating KH1 a half dozen times as a child. I genuinely enjoy Deep Jungle, but the propensity to get lost is abysmal. Beat DJ in 30 minutes on proud (after getting the Dalmatians and messing around some for exp). Also, Clayton is so annoying. Took me 3 tries lol.
I’m so grateful for this

In my personal opinion this is my second favorite world of all the KH games.
how tf am i supposed to know to go back there
I’ve been stuck at the vines for so long! I’m playing on computer, and all I need to do was lock on and press enter. No more pressing ‘W’ or space bar like I’ve been doing. 😭 Finally got that chest.
Apart from copyright reason, I believe this was another reason they didn't bring it back. *WHO DESIGNED THIS?!*
Great video and an amazing ending.
I loved the music in this world
Thanks, idk how i got thru this as a kid... i must have spent hours
Sham is a genius
Just played through and actually quite enjoyed my romp through the jungle. I have played through this game like 10 times at this point, but I digress.
not even playing the game rn but i will say hi to all you guys watching this now
Thank You for this video!
Thanks following this guide makes it 10x easier
Watching my son play this part of the game as an adult brings back so much trauma 😂
3:46-3:53 bit makes me crack up lol
You are a God among men, Sir. Than you so damn much for this! I was about to give up on playing!!
Thx for the friggin help every save file i did id have to stop here
You are a blessing, sir
*DEEP FREEZE*
1:06 i have never up to this day known that there is a hole to vines 2 right there how
Thank you Sham, very cool!
I first did this world on the fucking switch cloud ports. That fact made it one of the worst experiences in my life. Maybe thats just cause switch ports
Didn’t know you had to kill the power wilds, I just ran around and killed stuff until something happened
When I was a kid I never passed this area and just quited the game💀
Going through Jeep Jungle in no time flat
Thanks I was stuck on the Clayton fight
Yo Sham, KH 1 Critical Mix was ported to the PC version of KH, you gonna play it?
Thank you ngl I was lost
Huh, I never knew the vine tunnel was closed off during the black fruit part :O Seems like some dev at Square Soft was having a really shitty day.
This mfer spitting!!! THANK YOUUU!!!!
Never played the series as a kid. Just got i to it. Loved tarzan as a kid, sad this area is horrible. Thanks for the video.
Vines ruined my life. Been here for 3 hours I don’t understand
I'm gonna lose my mind.. no matter how many enemies i kill, i can never get saber to appear and its driving me insane
Thanks bro
My first time ever playing kingdom of hearts and this mission almost had me uninstalling the game. Thanks for the help!
Useful, thanks!
your a legend for this man
Thanks a lot, I hate this world, helped a bunch
you're a god send
you're the man
I love the commentary lol
Thanks for the help🤯
i wasted 4 hours getting lost in this stupid jungle
This world and Wonderland are the worst
do you get something by doing the time trials? I tried to do expert but sora doesn't hang on to the last vine for some bullshit stupid reason
None of these cutscenes happened for me so Im basically going in circles for no fucking reason
Same
1:14 while this sounds like a complete contradiction of what he said in the opening, this is technically ivy and not a vine, which means the opening statement is still accurate
Educational Streamer/RUclipsr
lmao i like this kids humour
Stealth sneak can burn in hell
Thank you so much
Sick vid sham!
Thank you so much I hate this world sm
Please make more videos like this
Actually Perfect.
Just replayed this as an adult. . .
Still sucked.
Knew I shouldn't have played proud mode.
That's why kh3 is the best of both worlds (heh), easier to progress like 2 but with actual exploration like 1
Thank you, but sadly I've already gone through this world so often that I can get through it fairly quick...
Hoo hoo not Clayton!
I just Bought KH al In One Pack on PS4 and GOD the first game rn is really meh... the combat is like luck based wheter or not i get hit idk how to do the different attacks
and GOD the puzzles i HATE puzzles AND I GET LOST 100% OF THE TIME TRYING TO KNOW WHAT I HAVE TO DO and i
*HATE*
