    While I get this is for the vanilla game, I've played a Randomizer of the game many times now, and you can quickly get an understanding of how much content is locked behind certain abilities that you take for granted. It definitely gets you to appreciate many abilities in the game and see which ones aren't helpful in the slightest.

    While a lot of these moves are pretty lackluster, the ones that really work pull a lot of weight. I personally think Rocket Barrel controls alright once you get the hang of it and figure out hovering with Z, and Pony Tail Twirl is an awesome move. Lots of duds and missed opportunities, but there are some diamonds for sure!

      Makes sense.
      It's usable to all kongs, it's strong, and while it does require charging, you can move while charging. And it gets you rainbow coins. And very helpful for getting the crowns. The only downside is that it costs a crystal every time....
      Which is not bad.

    12:54 "Why split this up into three?"
    I have one reason to separate the Super Duper Simian Slam from the first two: its delayed animation for Diddy, Lanky, and Tiny.
    (Donkey Kong and Chunky don't really slow down.)
    I bring this up because in Crystal Caves, one of Lanky's Golden Banana is basically a Ground-Pound minigame with the ghost in the ice castle.
    Trying to beat that ghost with Super Duper Simian Slam was so difficult, that I thought I locked myself out of that Golden Banana; I swore to always get that banana before upgrading to Super Duper.

    You actually don't need the Rocketbarrel in Diddy's cabin challenge where you have to clear out the enemies for a GB. I just load up on oranges and jump on the ledges beside the corner platform in the room to get up and just use the oranges to clear out the middle platform, jump to it and take out the rest of the enemies that way so it saves the crystal coconuts.

  • @Nyperold018
    @Nyperold018 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Creative, yes, but when it takes you to one of the most demanding instances of Beaver Bother in the game...
    Also, Squawks has to teach you the Orangstand Sprint right as you exit the barrel. Which would be fine if his talking stopped time, but unless that's a difference between emulation -- which the Let's Player I watched used -- and original hardware, the Beetle gets to keep going while you're forced to stand still, and I assume the same would be true of the Rabbit.
    I remember seeing a place in Fungi Forest where you needed a higher-tier switch to get inside, but once you are inside, there was a lower-tier switch.
    Also, I saw circumstances where the homing was actively detrimental. Like where you're trying to hit a Banana Balloon, but it homes in on a nearby enemy on the other side of the wall. (It was a Kasplat in Fungi Forest. The player just had to go around and kill the Kapslat, but still.) Even worse, another Banana Balloon is the target, but the ammo homes in on a switch. An already-pressed switch, so it doesn't even need to be pressed again. So yeah, you kind of just have to waste all your remaining homing ammo if you want that balloon.
    I thought it was a solution to an existing hardware limitation, but I got that from that same LPer I've been referencing, so we could be wrong. Still, the Silent Hill fog this is not.

    I felt that…while watching the video. I’m sorry, I had to. 😂
    You are not the only one to have that situation happen in Crystal caves with Lanky and the baboon balloon to get a measly 15 blue bananas. I’ve had that happen several times and I get so damn frustrated. I definitely know your pain.
    Also, I love the orangstand sprint, even if it’s kind of underwhelming. Also, I always spam the instruments because it’s so fun to destroy every enemy in the room. So damn fun to use. 😂

    Diddy Kong is the only Kong who has the ability to perform a SM64-style double jump (as in, jump twice in a row to go higher, not a midair one). I wish that got used more often, and maybe was an official Cranky-obtained ability.

  • @mattb6522
    @mattb6522 27 วันที่ผ่านมา

    Good video! Yeah, Tiny's Ponytail Twirl is such a great movement option. Easily the best ability! I feel like Rare kind of just threw a bunch of abilities at the wall to see what stuck. A lot of abilities just act as a "key" to solve a challenge and aren't really fun to use outside of a specific challenge. If the Kongs got more abilities that helped them traverse the world easier (like many of the ones in Banjo-Kazooie did), I think it would have benefitted the game more.
    Many of the abilities in Donkey Kong 64 just feel underwhelming (Did Donkey Kong really need a potion just to grab levers? 😅). If they wanted to add more abilities, maybe bring back a few more Animal Buddies with fun abilities instead? It just feels like they added one too many gratuitous abilities for each of the Kongs.

    • @superjoebros64
      @superjoebros64  25 วันที่ผ่านมา

      I totally feel this! It's tough coming up with a unique variety of abilities for 5 Kongs. And needing to do a barrel, pad, special moveset for all 5. I guess eventually you'll run out of ideas!

  • @sweets_Cat88
    @sweets_Cat88 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I wanna talk about Lanky ability’s here.
    Like maybe the hand stand and speed boost should be the same ability.
    Like hand stand and simple waking with the joy stick for hill and steep climbing.
    Now that and maybe pressing Left or right buttons to have him go faster.
    Making a barrel just for a speed boost could be replaced with a different ability.
    Like we go back to his stretchy side or his barrel has him become ruber like and they’re be 2 sticks/ spikes sticking out and Lanky could latch on and pull back and sling shot himself to an area on he has access or say in crystal cave world knock down a pillar to make a new path for another Kong to cross.
    Just something to ax out the unnecessary back tracking to fungi forest for Lanky’s last banana.

    Best points in the videos:
    Ponytail Twirl is the lone S-tier unique Kong ability, nothing really comes close.
    Frantic Factory Boss is the best Key Boss, hands down.
    Disagreements:
    DK's lever pulling ability over Barrel Blast? one is a unique DK exclusive mini game, that is sometimes very challenging and includes secret collectibles if you're good enough at it. The other is a glorified button press, that yes, does get used as a puzzle, but Barrel Blast is actually a fun challenge versus pull 3 switches in the right order.
    Okay, that's all, great rankings, loved the video!

    Recent subscriber so if this has already been covered, apologies! I'd love to see what other people would do to swap out abilities (aka create a new one, per Kong), similar to the "Here's Why... Nintendo Switch" video did for what we'd like to see as improvements.
    Personally thinking on it, for DK I'd alter his Baboon Blast to be able to activate when not on his face tile. So it could be used in overworld combat - thinking like a beefed up version of his roll mechanic. IDK (not a pun) how to make it not OP? For Diddy, I'd just alter his Simian Spring slightly so that if a player were to use it to jump, he could attach his tail like a rope and 'climb' to an additional area. Could be used for additional exploration. For Lanky, I would only alter his Baboon Balloon to have temporary invincibility while inflating, nothing too drastic. For Tiny, I'd change her Monkeyport ability completely and call it Tiny Transformation. She would temporarily change into her 'older' self (to tie the two together) and get added benefits while doing so (I'm thinking a higher jump or potential double jump, fly further and hit harder), could drain quickly so as to not be OP. Lastly, for my man Chunky, I think I'd slightly change Gorilla Gone to include quick step action ability, to lean into his 'scaredy cat' trope. So if an enemy was coming at Chunky, players could hit the quick step to avoid but not alert them. Could be an interesting way to 'up' stealth opportunities in game!

    This video is a banger! S tier content! I enjoy that it’s a 20 min video as well. Nicely done dude🍻 The worst thing about the jet pack is the annoying music the game plays when using it lol🤦‍♂️

    Justice for OranguSprint! It’s so fun to use! I just wish it was needed more frequently. Sadly its uses are relatively late in the game and for very specific scenarios.

      @ I think the Creepy Castle Maze is the worst, esp because of the sticky walls. It’s very counterintuitive to the ability. I know it’s probably there to hinder you but I would have just preferred a longer and more intricate maze to really just lean into using orangusprint to its fullest.

    I'll give my most favorite ability from each kong and least favorite abilities in another comment. For now best.
    DK: Strong Kong. Because what's wrong with being invincible? Nothing! It's awesome!
    Diddy: Simian Spring. I'm a sucker for it because having Diddy go weeeeeeeee puts a smile to my face.
    Lankey: Orangastand. It's just fun running around with a handstand.
    Tiny: Mini monkey. It's pretty cool being small and exploring hard to reach areas and explore areas that others can't.
    Chunky: Primeape Punch. Love how strong this move is and against many foes.

    As the Wii U version removed most of the lags (which ruin the game btw), I'm wondering if the mechanical fish golden banana is still available even with the Sniper Scope upgrade on Wii U.
    What do you think about both the Shockwave Attack and the Banana Fairy Camera ? They weren't mentioned in the video !

    • @superjoebros64
      @superjoebros64  หลายเดือนก่อน

      THE SHOCKWAVE! Oh man I always forget the shockwave. I'd say at least A tier. Incredible power, defeats even the toughest enemies right away, but can get pricey with crystal coconuts.
      The camera is not much of an ability 😅 so I'd say B tier maybe

    well....there was 1 ability you didn't list which was the shockwave move you unlock as soon as you start the Banana Fairy sidequest (can can be started as early as partway done with the 2nd level Angry Aztec or before starting level 3 or level 4 Frantic Factory or Gloomy Galleon), where you can charge up a powerful shockwave that costs 1 Crystal Coconut and insta-kill's any enemy that gets hit by it, useful for dealing with Kasplat's, Kosha's and groups of enemies
    edit: also i personally feel like DK kinda get's screwed with his abilities in Donkey Kong 64, the barrel blast course is perfectly in character with him, invincibility just feels weird and it used i think like 3 times in the game...and Gorilla Grab is just dumb

    And here's my least favorites.
    DK: Gorilla Grab. You can now pull switches. Thats it. Meh
    Diddy: Rocket Barrel boost. It hurts me to put it here since flying is cool but the controls for it haven't aged well.
    Lanky: Orangesprint. Sigh going fast is great but the challenges behind this are not fun at all.
    Tiny: Monkey Port. I mean it exists. And you can port. Eh.
    Chunky: Gorilla Gone. Being invisible is fun but again doesn't last long and the other chunky power ups are much better compared to this.

    Gonna have to disagree with you on Strong Kong...almost every Banana in the game that supposedly "requires" it can be done without, as long as you have at least two melons' worth of HP. I can only think of two areas that hard require it, and one is solely a creation of the DK64 Randomizer and other ROM hacks...the spinning ice wall in the igloo of Crystal Caves didn't have a DK Barrel originally.
    Jetbarrel could've been better if they allowed you to zoom in like Banjo-Tooie would do.
    Monkeyport, O-Stand Sprint, and Gone could've been better if there were three more levels to use the move in or they otherwise spread the moves like they did in Banjo-Kazooie (nine levels, learned all moves in six, learned all the moves that mattered in three).
    You left out the Fairy Cam and Shockwave, the latter of which is an easy S-tier for me. ^^;
