As a kid, this boss is when I hit the "I Don't Wanna Play This Game Anymore" mark.
It's Kriller Time right there with the Bottom of the Well in Ocarina of Time
Mostly because it was really annoying falling off the ledge and then the chase essentially reset itself.
MetroidJunkie yeah and because you shit your pants
same
I see I was not only dumb little wuss back in 99.
This boss battle never scared me, but it sure had me laughing quite a bit. The entire time, I was thinking, “that’s Donald Duck!“
The two scariest ennemies in DK64 : Mad Jack, and the goddamned camera during the fight against Mad Jack!
Not to mention he sounds like Donald Duck.
@@gravitybeetle4921 Apparently they used voice clips from the actual donald duck voice actor.
@@user-lh7mt7zo7l Perhaps you're right.
@@gravitybeetle4921 I think it was in one of those pay to use professional sound banks
You must never have seen a zinger dive bombing you in first person then.
Man that feeling when you defeat a boss in this game is so nostalgic. When that victory soundtrack kicks in and the key appears with bright sparkles and the deep voice saying "Donkey Kong" is just bone-chilling. Still gets me to this day.
It was so relieving to hear that music after the second Dogadon battle
How does beating something feel nostalgic. Yes the game is old but this doesn't make sense. Nostalgia is just a clout word now.

I like this Donkey Kong game it's the best one in The Donkey Kong Series.
Lmao what on earth are you waffling on about @@mr.awesome6011
So, Tiny Kong. What's your favorite Nintendo console?
TK-"Wii!"
Yeah cause let's not forget her redesign on the Wii games

Mad Jack: You'll float too Tiny
My favorite boss of all of Donkey 64 bosses because of the design of this boss, the boss fight is pretty fun, also the fact that tiny Kong, is fighting a humongous sinister jack-in-the-box, he has a Donald Duck voice, and the music is great + The sinister laugh in the background makes the song even better
Me as a kid playing DK64:
1st boss: An armored giant armadillo? Funny~
2nd boss: Oh wow, a dragon?! So cool!
3rd boss: ...W-WHAT THE HECK IS THAT THING?!!!
Exactly!!
How did you react to the others?
Jack in the Box
And why does mad Jack sound like Donald Duck?
4th boss: AH!!! AN ANGRY PUFFER FISH WITH A HORRIBLE CLOSE UP OF HIS FACE!!
5th boss: oh it’s you again mr dragon how do you- OH MY GOD THE STAGE IS DRAWING NEAR THE LAVA!!
6th boss: really armoured dillo?
7th boss: Why?
8th boss: the real deal?
Bosses later a K.Kool Rool cutout
Donald Duck finally went all bonkers
nightmares of this fight man...
Jalen B
How so? He looks far more cute than scary. Or are you talking about the frustration of this fight?
I had a nightmare where I had to do a battle with this thing, weldar, hag 1 and brrr.... mr patch.
This boss is in my opinion the greatest! when you get to him, the first thing you notice is that there is not TNT barrel, so how should you make damage to him? you just start running for your life...
Same! I love the music to this battle!
Gave me nightmares when I was 4-5 could never beat him
@@EmmureMARIO64
Me too and I would love to see Mad Jack return.
That chute was labelled "REJECT".
So even by the standards of Frantic Factory, this guy was atrocious.
Or maybe he just wanted somewhere to fight Tiny?
The #6 Runaway Guys Fan Okay, but why did he come from the Reject chute?
@@kylestubbs8867 maybe all the factory wants to churn out was dangerous rejects that don't follow factory safety regulations?
I remember this boss being my favorite when I was young, I adored his design.
@@SecretFlag Mad Jack is my favorite too. :)
SAME SAME SAME SAME SAME
Same, always my favourite!
this fight stressed me out so much as a child and rewatching it 15+ years later has my trauma reawakening lmao
A don't know it wasn't that hard this is one of my favorite boss fights i just like longer battle 😀
Me to
I always find this boss funnier than scarier for his donald duck voice
I feel like it was rare’s top priority to give kids nightmares back in the 90s
4:00 gotta love when the climax syncs so well with the music.
This is what happens when you combine donald duck with a jack in the box, a cyborg, and frankenstein's monster.
Pure unadulterated brilliant awesomeness!
Donald Duck + Jack in the Box = Mad Jack?
thats true!
I agree
+TheMarko33 Donald Duck and Mad Jack, same voice actor :P
+ZeldafanNr2 Clarence Nash
but he died 15 years ago before this game was created
To be honest, I didn't find this boss to be scary at all when I was a kid.
Instead, what terrifies me is the challenges I have to face in order to defeat Mad Jack.
The only thing that still terrifies me about this game is looking in first person view at a zinger dive bombing you.
This in my opinion is arguably one of the best boss and battles for any 64 game.
Love this fight. It has good escalating tension to the plattforms suddenly rising, to not knowing what's inside the box to having to figure out how to actually hurt the boss to it upping the game by going into frenzied invisibility mode.
This fight is mechanically challenging and makes good use of Tiny's signature pony twirl jump which you really have to master if you want to beat this fight. I remember my hands getting sweaty and clutching up from the tension of having to nail every single jump.
The sound effect of the jack in the box charging its laser and releasing a deadly voltaic burst onto the platform you just stood on a mere second ago remains a favorite of mine onto this day. The fire balls are actually scarier though because they can hit you mid air and track your movements while the laser only ever hits the platform while you stay safe midair.
One of my favorite bosses of all time. :) Mostly just for his unique design.
god he has the weirdest voice
i do like his laugh though
SuperSenketsu The way how the box jumps while Mad Jacks is inside reminds me of the Time Life Kids Logo. LOL
Donald Duck
"hup, weee!"
Jonathan Withers “woohoo!, weee!’’
*bOiNg* "weee!"
At 1:03, it sounds like he speaks in swedish, he says "Här är jag" and means "Here I am".
a Swedish duck......seems legit
Connor Eden *intense coughing* PEWDIEPIE *intense coughing*
Connor Eden in this case a Swedish crocodile like jack in the box
Yes it's sounds like he says her er jeg! And it means here I am:)
Mad Jack was a pain in the neck for me. Talk about a Quack-in-the-box.
donald duck
@@thresherx Finally a comment that thought Mad Jack sounded exactly like Donald Duck!!!!
@@Benthenewbie414 Mad Jack's voice were taken from stock tracks recorded by the late Clarence Nash, the original voice of Donald Duck
th-cam.com/video/NoLdlmr-v2w/w-d-xo.html
I can't believe the voice of Tiny Kong is the same voice actor for Zoey in Left 4 Dead.
Huh!? I thought Tiny was voiced by the girl who did the Jet Force Gemini girl.
The #6 Runaway Guys Fan I never knew that either that's awesome. I love playing as Tiny Kong.
No its not: m.imdb.com/title/tt0233601/fullcredits/cast?ref_=m_tt_cl_sc
Fuck this boss, fuck this boss, fuck this boss. It was so fucking scary as a kid.
***** Explain to me why the laughter was added in the sound track? It ruins it 100% and that Donald Duck laugh in a Nintendo based game? WTF Rare! And the setting for this boss is terrible. Why can't it be a like an evil circus with this boss not a fucking factory! I swear I just want to shove a banana down Tiny's gullet because she keeps making those noises when she spins. ANNOYING ISN'T IT!
EARNEST The YTP Master Well, the factory setting also had enemies based on toys (dominoes, dice, wind-up robots, etc). I think what they were trying to go for was "toy factory," not "general factory." The challenges you need to do are also themed around toys, like playing a giant keyboard (that makes burping sounds), scaling a tower of letter blocks, and even playing the original DK arcade game. Mad Jack fits the toy theme rather well.
***** I do agree with you man. But I wish the battle arena was better. Take The Factory Boss from DKC Returns. You have a fucking chicken controlling this huge ass robot and in the background you can see the factory in action. This game however the battle arena looks boring and bland but the boss looks amazing and the music fits his evil tone. It's just platforms and jumping.
Hey! Mad Jack is awesome. You here me? AWESOME!!!! Granted he is easy. Anyways I wonder if Nintendo will give him a comeback in the new Donkey Kong game ( If there is gonna be a new game, that is)
Charlie Medrano
I never said I hated the boss just the arena you fight him in.
Perfect damage-less battle too! Beautiful work =)
Thanks =)
I tried replaying this game now and I still have no idea how we got this far in this game without a walkthrough
This boss is still kicking my ass as an adult
Say hello to Ronald McDonald Duck in the Box!
-adrianmarti's Donkey Kong 64 Game review
I like how mad jack shrinks and his hands go straighet up)
(whenever he goes in his box.
Seeing Mad Jack go "bye bye" was the most satisfying thing as a child
Were did this kinda boss design go :)
In the grave with rareware's death.
Hopefully Yooka-Laylee took notes
TheGameCreator13
Can't wait to get that on a Switch when it comes out!! :D
TheGameCreator13
Also, the people making Yooka-Laylee at Playtonic are literally the same people that worked at Rare before Microsoft bought it.
Angelo Acosta Duh
Kidding but yeah I know that
I want to know who thought this would be a Good Idea, to make Mad Jack as a Boss Fight, in a game Marketed to Kids.
I mean seriously, his design was Nightmare fuel for kids, and possibly still could be.
You gotta teach the kids that fear's a thing. They can't go around thinking everything's perfectly alright their whole lives. Sometimes it's just OK to be scared, because you probably have someone to reassure you that everything's just peachy. And besides, fear's a way of telling you about self-defense.
The #6 Runaway Guys Fan
True.
I bet if I replayed dk 64 now, I could beat this Joker... Donald duck... toy thing.
TychoThePsycho Do it. It's just 10 bucks on the Wii U Virtual Console. :)
@@tychotheyokaiguy77 Mad Jack is my favorite he's so unique and a really cool character he should be a reoccurring Character in Donkey Kong.
As if they didn't shit their pants at Kroc.
This boss coupled with the dark abyss below and the insane laughter was so terrifying xD
his voice is similar to Clarence Nash the guy who made donald duck voice but he was dead for 15 years ago before this game was created
From what I know they took voice bits from Clarence Nash.
He should be called Duck Jack!(Got it?)
I always cried cuz I couldn't best that ... THING
That scared me when I was 8 years old to the point I wasn't able to sleep for the night.
Can't blame ya.
Mad Jack is a big step up in difficulty from the first two bosses. He’s divided into two phases, the jumping phase, and the attack phase. The jumping phase gets faster and faster the more damage you do to him. After enough jumps he’ll pop out to attack, Hit the switch that corresponds to whatever color tile he’s currently standing on during the attack phase, if you hit the wrong color switch it’ll damage you instead. If you fall off the tiles at any time you won’t die, but it will reset the jumping phase and you must do it over again
I can literally feel myself playing this as I watch 😃 I love the nostalgia
An intense and epic music fitting for an intense and epic boss fight
Levels and characters like this are nightmare fuel especially if your a kid.
I don't what it is, but I love the fact that MJ emerged from the "rejection" chute.
Yeah in the guide they said that it says a lot about him that got rejected from K. Rool's incredibly unsafe and evil toys.
If Mad Jack was a reject, what the hell were they passing?
Mad Jack is my Donkey Kong 64 boss he's really unqiue cool and badass
The laugh is just Gruntilda watching a sitcom in the room next door.
I miss this game. We need a remake !
Mad Jack was voiced by Clarence Nash!!! Clarence Nash was the original voice of Donald Duck. Various Donald Duck sound clips were used for Mad Jack because Clarence Nash died 13 years before this game was released.
that explains a lot.
Kinda laughs like Donald Duck
But of course what can be scarier than Donald Duck
maybe the wallmaster from Zelda
or the giant eel from Mario
Same voice actor
Kyle Stubbs Imagine if Mad Jack sounded like Pennywise or Laughing Jack.
Katelyn Bodiford I like Donald Duck laughs
@@DisneyDude1928 Yeah it's hilarious too.
It took me like 17 tries to beat this guy
I agree with your comment plus i had that same problem to when I was 10 and 11 butt i managed out come it and beat it
Same
This boss scared the shit out of me when I was a kid.
I remember back when I first saw this fight at a birthday party, I could have sworn the fight was intenser with a higher rez in graphics and movement as well as there being a lot more red flashing in the background.
Maybe the red flashing was in your head?
Mad Jack is the best boss character he's so unique.
I hope he returns would be awesome to see Tiny and him have a rematch.
Mad Jack's laugh is very similar to Gruntilda's laugh 😂😂
More like Donald Duck
I don't ever really remember Mad Jack appearance scaring me as much I remember being scare of him trying to knock me off the platforms.
Anyway, whether this boss is annoying or scary, his background music is awesome.
Good take on that epic boss battle
3:14 Donald Duck is pissed off
Used to cry when i was a kid and had to fight him
I'm going to be honest this boss as well as the pufferfish, the giant billboard of King K. Rool, and the first encounter of the armadillo fights creeped me out as a kid because of the location the fight was in.
As far as I remember, the Box can’t jump diagonally, but Tiny can.
Lol am i the only one that wasnt scared at all by this boss? Actually, i was more scared of the sea stars in the water levels
AllenC1 OMG SAME xDD I always loved this boss and used to be terrified of the starfish
Me to, the fact that he has a donald duck voice always make me find a funnier side of this boss
YES those frickin starfish used to scare me so bad
I wasn't scared of him... i was *angry* at him.
Watch out for fireballs, lasers, and shockwaves.
I rember this game from when I was a kid. So much fun.
Mad jack was so unhinged that even the other angry and unhinged toys in the factory thought he wasn’t right
One of the scariest bosses I ever faced. I'm glad he turned invisible.
Me and two other people were just playing this game (me for the first time in years) and I had to fight this same boss. Dude is freaking fast. We were all on the edge of our seats and yelling every time I fell off the platforms. Lol.
I'm glad I played this game when I was older. Because if I had played this back in, say, 2003, I would be frightened to the point of refusing to watch any animations featuring Donald Duck because this guy would've given me Donald Duck Phobia and the way he _looks_ and the scary laughter in the music and... _UGH!!_
Also, hard to believe _this guy_ was listed among K.Rool's biggest and most feared soldiers.
Some say he was rejected because he was too unsafe for the factory. At least that's what the strategy guides say.
Mad Jack is my favorite Donkey Kong 64 boss and my favorite Donkey Kong character is Tiny Kong I always loved playing as her whenever I played Donkey Kong 64
Imagine playing Donkey Kong 64 at the age of 5/6 (late 1999, early 2000) my mom bought me a nintendo and i never knew what to expect, i don't knew english (I'm from Portugal) and at that time english was only learned in school at age of 10, was hard to complete the game but after i guess it was 2 years I did it. Great atmosphere in the game, was the first game that gave me really nice emotions and frightened me a bit, i guess that's what made it so memorable. forever one of my favourite games! :)
God this thing petrified me when I was a kid.
It was a huge accomplishment for me when I was finally able to conquer my fear of him.
definitely the best boss in dk64
I have fun memories of playing this game all the time when I was in high school back in 1999-2001 (when I should have been sleeping/studying, haha). A couple things I noticed are that your first clue about how dangerous Mad Jack is is that he was rejected for being unsafe even by whatever safety standards a Kremling toy factory would have. Second, the battle arena with the factory buttons looks like a giant disco floor (and you do kind of "dance" around the arena in a sense). Third, the camera angle problem is solved by staying in the middle four if possible.
This boss' laugh reminds me of Mark Hamill's Joker. ...I'M CRAZY FOR IT!!! 8-D
I remember I had such a hard time defeating this boss
no one noticed he waves goodbye exactly like donald duck before he falls xD
This was one of my favorite bosses in the game
The most evil thing in this whole game: the camera
This boss was hella scary as a kid.
Mannnnnn fuckin terrifying
this nostalgic af
Mickey Mouse: Hey Mad Jack. Eat a Snickers. You sound like Donald Duck when you get mad. 😂😂😂
I may be the only person in existence who actually likes Mad Jack - his design is just adorable but also strangely metal, and I just love it.
But, you know … he DOES sound an awful lot like Donald Duck . . .
After taking 7 pages of uninterrupted muda, Chocolatta's boneless body fused with the garbage truck's contents!
The music is desynced.
Normally when MadJack appears, the music kicks off. However this was run on an emulater that appears to have an audio delay.
This was played on an N64.
@@CountBleck2009
*Explain the audio delay.*
It happens, DK 64 has numerous bugs. I was surprised when I looked years later on TH-cam that other people's videos of Mad Jack their music starts right away. But I've had the opposite happen with ArmyDillo second fight where the music starts early sometimes and other times doesn't until he actually comes out of his armor.
I don't actually use emulators except Nintendo's virtual console.
@@CountBleck2009
Not that I've seen. It tends to occur in emulators for PC and even Nintendo's own VC service.
@@YowLife It very well might on those versions but I can say with 100% certainty that this video was played on an actual N64 using a DVD recorder and Pinnacle Video Transfer Capture Card. I still remember making it 13 years ago.
Since I noticed that Clarence Nash (voice of Donald Duck)'s archival recordings voiced Mad Jack. I bet if Mad Jack returns in the future Donkey Kong games, he'll be voiced by "Tony Anselmo (the current voice of Donald Duck)"!
A boss i liked to fight and re-fight.
As a kid, I always thought Mad Jack was supposed to be the fourth boss and that Puftoss was supposed to be the third boss.
I bet after falling down the pillar the Mad Jack boss was so huge that it broke apart the moment it hit the ground.
Help Tiny defeat Mad Jack. Watch out for fireballs, lasers, and the electric shockwave.
The fucking heart attack ten year old me got when i got to the last phase of this boss. This shit was hard. And to this day, i struggle with this boss sometimes, but a heart attack isn't one of them.
My childhood ♡
This guy's a real Quack-in-the-box.
Here's a little known fact, at least one I've never heard anybody talk about. If you fall off and are brought back on the corner, there's a chance Jack will only flip once guaranteeing a hit. This can only happen if he is next to the next two available platforms. You have to wait until he jumps first, otherwise if you jump, he will trick you and hit you immediately. He killed me like that and I'm still salty. He's sneaky and can easily catch you by surprise with that move if you aren't careful.
Also some trivia: Mad Jack was supposed to throw flaming toy blocks and not fireballs. This was changed last second, giving us the attack we encounter now.
Attacks:
Hit 1-3: Fireball
Hit 4-5: Lazer
I love the laugh sounds like the joker
The first time I finally beat him the fucking key glitches into tinys body and froze the game forcing me
To re due the entire boss fight and jacks spring turned pink and then he died and then the game froze with the key in her body
I was ten when I first played this game (back in '00)! :)
