3:04 There is speculation from the TCRF Talk page for this game about why the loading zone under Hot Top Volcano exists, and there is evidence from the game itself to back it up - It isn't confirmed for sure, mostly because nobody either looked at it thoroughly or payed any attention to it, but the Official Nintendo Player's Guide for DKR has an excerpt where if you follow a pterodactyl, you'll find a secret. The only pterodactyls used in the final game are used as decorations for three tracks in Dino Domain, so why would this be significant? - There is a pterodactyl model that is grouped with the other bosses in the games memory which, alongside an unused sound effect of a pterodactyl getting hit, an unused snowy version of the boss track in Dino Domain, and the pterodactyl boss model having the animations necessary for a boss (except for a talking animation), this means that there was once a pterodactyl boss. You can also see this in action by using a cheat code to play as the bosses, and you'll find the unused pterodactyl that way. All this means is that the pterodactyl was once a boss that you would defeat, but it does provide the best explanation about why the warp is under Hot Top Volcano in the first place, since it is the only place where both the pterodactyls and the warp exist
7:17 Not an expert, but I believe this is because you hit a trigger near the entrance of the cave. This would be here for a couple of reasons the first is to stop the camera from blinding the player if the camera clips through the wall while racing and the second is to create a subtle fog affect to improve the atmosphere while inside of this cave
Well "TJ-Henry-Yoshi" if that's even your real name... jkjk :D Yeah it is most likely a fog trigger at the entrance of the tunnel, and also missed the trigger to unload that fog so it persisted after voiding out back to the start line.
Yano... The very first race I did on this game was against Wizpig 1 when testing the Hub world out of bounds glitch. Huge mistake. Thought I'd never get anywhere in this game after that, but it turns out the boss races are just hard compared to everything else 😂
No need to thank me, it was great to have your insight and knowledge on the game! Hopefully a few more people will be drawn to the game and give you all a run for your money some day ahaha!
@MikeyTaylorGaming Absolutely. DKR has never really had a huge speedrunning community, and has always been this underground type of speedrun, despite it being truly one of the best N64 speedruns, in my opinion. Whenever high quality DKR content is made, it makes me hopeful that more people will discover and pick up this speedrun someday!
3:10 i wonder if that loading zone is there because the devs making that level would ALSO find themselves out of bounds frequently on this stage? someone should reach out to a level designer if possible. would be a fun interview
You'll be glad to hear, he's still hard as S*** 😂 Though... I'm pretty sure there's an out of bounds on the Wizpig 2 race that'll let you use that made up inside lane. Check out some Speedruns of it!
That's great news! Try some out and let me know how you get on! The first time I picked it up was to create this video, and I've now 100% completed it legitimately. Really good game don't you think?
@@MikeyTaylorGamingI think it's even better then Mario Kart! I still love Mario Kart but this has more substance for a single player experience, MK shines more in the multiplayer aspect!
Nice, I learned a few new tricks in this one. I had no idea the checkpoint glitch was even a thing, I'm surprised this was not any more useful for other bosses/courses, especially for the walrus out of bounds potential that seems to be so close to being useful.
I'm glad there were a few bits you didn't know about! Always good to see something fresh 😎 I agree, I don't think they're done with this game so I'm sure there'll be more discoveries incoming...
If only we knew sooner... Get the N64 out and have a go. This was actually my first time playing the game and I loved it enough to 100% it legitimately ahaha!
Finally got around to watching the whole video. Well done man! Glad I could help with anything. The only error is that I no longer hold the Darkmoon Caverns hover shortcut WR's anymore. 🙃 But hopefully I can correct this soon! Also I can't say I was expecting a full shoutout there! So that's pretty cool ❤
I'm sure you'll grind it down! The competition between all of you is incredible to see in the Time Trials channel on discord that's for sure. Great to see, good luck 😎
Fashionably late I say 🤷♂️ yeah I've tried to mix things up a little this time to keep the retention up, and it seems to be working so it COULD be a permanent change!
Been enjoying these videos for years Time to see if I can finally afford to support you on Patreon PS: why no traditional intro with the animation or face view? :/
I'm glad to hear it, I'm still enjoying making them and there's a lot more in the works! And that really means a lot, but no pressure at all! Patrons are only charged per video so if I disappear again it'll be free 😂 (edit; I just saw you subscribed, thank you so much!) And to answer that, the intro talking has been cut from this episode and replaced with a regular "Voice over video" intro. I ran a poll and saw that most people don't want this, but I'm testing this new intro to see how retention is on the channel. Retention drops an unbelievable amount at the intro so... It may be why the channel is still failing and videos aren't being recomended. Worth a try to change it, and so far seems to be working! (as much as much as I like those intros ahaha!)
I skiped this game in its geneation assuming it was just another Mario Kart clone and i could not have been more wrong.. And what a feativle of glitches!
Rare had a habit of taking what Nintendo did and doing the same but better. They saw Mario 64 and made Banjo-Kazooie. They saw Mario Kart and made Diddy Kong Racing. They saw Goldeneye, forgot that they made that one themselves, and made Perfect Dark. They saw Zelda and... tried to make Dinosaur Planet, but didn't have time to finish it. Sometimes I wonder if Nintendo refused to buy them out because they were embarrassed. lol
These ARE glitches and not cheats for sure, because this game is form the era when games had ACTUAL cheats built in that aren't tied to paying money. XD Freeforall, Blabbermouth, Jointventure...

All these years of me playing this game and beaten it 100%, I NEVER knew these tricks. Awesome video.
Hey, thanks a lot! I'm glad you enjoyed it and hope you get chance to try some out!

Almost missed this because TH-cam didn’t put it in my recommended. Thanks for another great episode Mikey!
Heard that so much the post 3 months, sad times! But thanks for taking the time to watch and I'm glad you enjoyed 😁
Superb video, Mikey! It's always great to see content to see DKR represented as such! Thank you for doing so!
I'm glad it gets the Speedrunner's seal of approval 😎 thanks a lot for your help with it!
Oh boy, a channel I've not heard from for a while lmao. Glad to see you're still around man
And not going anywhere! I love creating, I just had a long stint off ahaha trying to keep as active as possible now 😁 Hope you continue to enjoy!
The 1st race with wiz pig will forever be solidified in my childhood memory of complete BS 😂
He did cause chaos, so it makes sense story-wise.
Yano... The very first race I did on this game was against Wizpig 1 when testing the Hub world out of bounds glitch. Huge mistake.
Thought I'd never get anywhere in this game after that, but it turns out the boss races are just hard compared to everything else 😂
Yea because wiz pig 1 is far more difficult than wiz pig 2
Will never forget getting so angry using pisie as a kid
Good seeing you still making videos mate
Amazing video! Thanks for showcasing all these glitches DKR has to offer.
No need to thank me, it was great to have your insight and knowledge on the game! Hopefully a few more people will be drawn to the game and give you all a run for your money some day ahaha!

Glad to see you’re back!!
Been back 3 months 😎maybe you missed a few videos, but glad to hear I've been missed!
Funny this showed up on my suggested today, re-purchased this game for the n64 at the weekend!
Dunno why youtube didnt show me your other recent videos... but oh well time to binge watch them all! Good stuff as always
I didn’t have this game myself but I loved playing it at my friend’s place! Thanks for the video!
CRIMINAL BOT

Man, if I knew about these in 1998...
i have not seen one of your videos in forever
Check the channel out! There's been 3 in the past few months 😁
Thanks for the Picknick!
Haven't watched the video yet, but if there's some way of making Wizpig a joke and not brutal, I'm going to cry.
You'll be glad to hear, he's still hard as S*** 😂
Though... I'm pretty sure there's an out of bounds on the Wizpig 2 race that'll let you use that made up inside lane. Check out some Speedruns of it!
Janky random glitches are my favourite!
The are too many of them... The speedrunning community really showed me a LOT! Couldn't include even one quarter of them in this ahaha
Crazy just how many out of bounds glitches there are in this game
Just played this game the first time three days ago perfect timing on the video!
That's great news! Try some out and let me know how you get on!
The first time I picked it up was to create this video, and I've now 100% completed it legitimately. Really good game don't you think?

Babe wake up new MikeyTaylorGaming video just dropped
Got mine up for the occasion also 😎
Loading zone under a finish line is WEIRD
A strange one indeed... But very helpful!
It's even weirder than the video shows, because it can warp you to a few different places, or in some versions, just crash.
@@renakunisaki this is true, I had the Japanese version of the loading zone in the script but things were already getting a bit complicated 😅
Glad to see another episode!
Hopefully you managed to catch the last few! They're actually semi frequent again at the moment ahaha!
Ay i didnt know you were still making these! I remember watching your vids all the time when i was 16
I’ve loved this game since release. I wish I could go back in time and tell kid me these glitches
If only we knew sooner... Get the N64 out and have a go. This was actually my first time playing the game and I loved it enough to 100% it legitimately ahaha!
I can't wait to do the splitscreen glitch
Honestly, one of the best

Nice vid mate! Well worth the effort
Cheers Reece, much appreciated!
This game scared me when I was a kid
Thank you speedrunners
So that's why the AI is always stuck on that loop wall in Darkmoon Caverns. They're trying to cheat! 😆
earned a sub from me just for doing a glitch video in one of the most epic games ever made.
Well thanks very much! Hope you enjoy what's to come 😎
3 vids in the last three months? And im just now seeing them? Why youtube algorithm, why?! All notifications on going forward. 🍻
Yeah it's been like that so much it seems! Thanks for turning on the bell 😎 enjoy what's to come, coz there's plenty!
A bit late to the party, but great video as usual! Glad to see you (well not really since the intro is gone but ya know ;-) )
Fashionably late I say 🤷♂️ yeah I've tried to mix things up a little this time to keep the retention up, and it seems to be working so it COULD be a permanent change!
@@MikeyTaylorGaming Well, people clearly don’t know what they’re missing out on :D But good to hear that it works!

Isn't T.T. technically a stopwatch? So it would make sense to have him freeze in time.
Woah!
Havent seen one of your videos in years!! Glad to see your still uploading and looks like fairly frequently too. Great stuff Mikey!
The Japanese version you can beat the game with 11 balloons via wrong warp to Dragon Forest in a plane. Neato.
Yep, I had to scrap that from the script as it was getting a bit complicated already, and most people watching only have NTSC/PAL Carts anyway! 😁
Maybe Mikey can get the silver play button before TH-cam just becomes Y
Despite it being my dream, I have serious doubts with how TH-cam works that a Silver play button will ever makes it's way to me 😭😂
Your alive :) missed your content welcome back
Been back a few months 😁 this is the first release since returning, enjoy!
I skiped this game in its geneation assuming it was just another Mario Kart clone and i could not have been more wrong..

@@renakunisaki Very well put. I have to wonder the same now too.
I wonder if some of thess glitches work in the DS version
Unfortunately they're not the same, so I don't think any of these will be the same for the DS version sorry!
DS seems to be an entirely different engine with different physics.
Ok😊
These ARE glitches and not cheats for sure, because this game is form the era when games had ACTUAL cheats built in that aren't tied to paying money. XD Freeforall, Blabbermouth, Jointventure...
This game looks awful.
It's a great game once you start! I found it very difficult at first though!
Glad ur back in action Mikey! manifique pic a nic 🥥
Yo! I'm glad you liked, sorry it took so long but it was quite the project 🙃
