@@TheLastDrPhil No. Our PC during this time was very old so it crashed and corrupted on world 8 which lost all of our progress on world 7 in which my brother and I decided to give up at that point.
Donkey kong game’s, where his bananas are stolen, fastest world records are canonically how fast he got his bananas back. Like how angry he was to get them back.
Let’s all appreciate how this game has 0 documented bugs, not even tas only ones, after nearly 11(?) years Now let’s take that knowledge, and disregard it. Let’s try to crack this game open like an egg boys
I know of two glitches: 1. You can take damage and throw a dk barrel at the same time to have dk and 1hp and diddy at 2. It can definitely be done by tas but I'm not sure of it's usefulness. 2. Cranky sometimes disappears when you enter the shop. Don't know what causes it, but it most probably is a loading issue, and cannot be replicated by tas.
@@davinchristino you can also Clip through rails using minecarts, cancel knockback from moving into walls by pressing grab & triple/double pound on some buttons (dunno if triple is possible outside of 8-1) hope this helps :3
Been playing DKCR again recently, and while I’m a slow-playing collectibles sort of person, it’s so clear than enemy and platform placements are set up for getting through the levels at speed. Came here to see what that looked like, and I’m not disappointed, wow! Impressive stuff!
I love the fact that Tiki Tong used the bananas we were after the entire game just to gain hands which he loses merely around thirty seconds into the fight.
13:41 I never noticed how well-timed that key change is, it helps show the intensity of the crab pulling out that giant cannon and makes that moment in the level feel special
53:56 - 54:02 is such a troll. The game is like 'Oh, you thought you were unlocking the boss? Lol nope.' Such a funny moment. Great touch by the game designers.
7 year old me would freak out if I saw this, all I did was speed-ran the game but always stopped mid-way through. This made my day. 😢 Nintendo make "DK Returns" on switch please im beging you guys!!!! Like if you agree.
Currently running through Mirror Mode for the first time with DKCR speedruns in the background. Jesus christ what did I witness in 8-5 and 6 I feel put to shame dude LOL Very entertaining video, and excellent TAS! :)
It’s always a treat to see the TAS person goofing off during sections that can’t be sped up. For example, cutting rocket barrel levels way too close and getting no bananas during Tiki Tong Terror.
After all these years I came back to this game to play it a little bit but then I see this holy shit this is absolutely insane, this gameplay is on another level!
I played this game with a friend for the first time in years and for some reason I found it really difficult and I wondering how 7 year old me was doing this game no problem 😭
1:00:18 have you ever wondered why there was a silhouette of a man boxing on the left? Me too it's not the only recognisable face we see Mr game and watch too
I find the momentum in this game really addictive, just slightly better than tropical freeze. It looks extremely fun to run. Really hoping we get a remaster of this game soon with proper button controls.
@WeegeeDX Hopefully, it contains both button & motion controls so people who prefer one or the other will both be happy. Then, it'll be the definitive version of the game.
13 yo me played thos game from start to finish at 200% twice and watching this TAS just made me realize how gorgeously well made this game is and how it still looks good for being a Wii game, with tons of colors, animations, details, backgrounds, deco, etc.
Would it be possible to do a Four Medals% TAS? This would mean collecting every KONG letter in every level, collecting every puzzle piece, beating all levels again in Mirror Mode, and completing all levels again with a Gold Medal in each one during Time Attack. It was speculated that for a human the run would be 10 hours, but I’m not sure for a TAS. Would be fun to see.
Dk, feeling levels of anger never before thought possible, channeled that into speed and destroyed the tikis into about an hour of their rule, reclaming the bananas.
46:37 I dont know if this is known now but there is a faster way to get through the barrel part without having to land on the spikes at the top. You can roll under the first barrel and jump mid air between the barrels as you are going to fall. You should land in the second barrel.
If you land in the 2nd barrel, you’ll have to wait until the enemy with the blades past by into which (I’m sure) wasted frames. Then you’d have to wait to roll again after landing on the ground for a few seconds. You can definitely do this in speedruns tho since you could risk everything doing what TAS did.
Have you heard the news? Donkey kong country returns is returning again! In hd this time! Since i never played the original dkcr or dkcr3, i personally am interested in it.
One of the best games of all time. I was confused as to why the first boss wasn't included (I was skipping through to find it) but then I realized it was literally like a 20 second fight. TAS are crazy.

@@technoworld964 😉
My man was really being the level so fast I couldn’t even enjoy the music 😢.
In what world
At least we get to jam out to the rocket barrel mixes as much as a normal playthrough

Whats better is that the level you play foreshadows the roadblock because everything in the level is crumbling around you. Its a nice touch
