I kind of like how the placeholder guns were in the earlier footage, keeping their realistic designs but still firing coconuts and peanuts. The contrast would have been hilarious in the final game.
Regarding the contrast between the Kongs and Team Star Fox- I’m pretty sure the fact that the entire premise of Star Fox being that the characters are alien mercenaries that go around blasting bad guys with laser guns helps. Meanwhile the Kongs are Mario-adjacent and even cross over with the main mustachioed man himself multiple times. Like you said, Mario with a gun would be weird.
True, it wouldn't have been out of character for fox to carry a gun since youd expect guns to readily available in that setting. Its just that outside of an obviously not canon multiplayer of 64 we did not see ground combat until adventures and even them he complained about not being able to bring his blaster(which is a convenient excuse to not have to program gun mechanics in the transition from dinosaur planet). But with donkey kong its setting wasn't really made with guns in mind as the only guns seen in the series prior to dk64 was k rools blunderbuss and a few enemies using morecartoonish guns.
@@superjoebros64 Coconut facts of the day - 1. Coconut milk has more calcium than cow milk and has a multitude of health benefits 2. Coconuts have been made into warrior helmets protective gear, and much more with ancient tribes 3. Coconuts can literally be turned into a drinking glass 4. Coconuts as a whole have many practical uses 5. Approximately 150-200 people each year are killed by coconuts falling off of a tree and hitting them on the head
That could indeed cause a rather perilous situation to occur for anyone unfortunate enough to be the recipient of such excessive exerted physical force. I would certainly make use of my ambulatory capabilities in a rather hasty manner to creat a lateral movement away from the perilous primate, were I the one he put his reticol on.
DK 64 is my first "Shooter" I ever played. I still love DKs "Yeah" when he pulls his gun. 😅 And I love the fact that it is Grant Kirkhope himself voicing DK
I remember hearing about the realistic guns several years ago… And I was blown away. Part of me wishes it was still in the game, but I kind of understand why Miyamoto had the guys at Rare change it. Still a really cool piece of history that will forever be part of this fantastic game.
The candy pop gun they gave Dixie in Tropical Freeze also fits her very well. I wonder what Kiddie Kong's weapon would be... oh well, we'll never see him again anyways.
I remember playing the multiplayer so many times with family and friends and usually the first thing everyone does is hunt down the homing ammo, whoever gets that first basically won the match lol
the one thing I would change about how the guns work is that I wish there was an option to switch between homing and regular ammo. Homing ammo is great when you need it, but say there's a bunch of flying enemies in the room but you want to hit a nearby switch. Just aim for the switch right? Well the homing ammo has others plans, and I've come across multiple instances where I needed to completely deplete my ammo just to hit a wall switch. Could I have taken out all the enemies instead? I suppose, but that would have taken even longer, not to mention that switches are a more common need for ammo than enemies. Also I don't think I've thought to try using homing ammo when not in first person mode... does it home in when you shoot while moving around in third person?
this!! I'm so happy the DK64 randomizer let's you switch between homing and regular ammo. It's a real life saver. And using homing ammo in 3rd person is fun! It behaves normally and just locks onto an enemy in the direction you're facing.
Can you imagine Pokemon with guns ? In fact, there is an episode of Dratini that was banned worldwide because the warden of the Safari Zone threatened Ash by pointing a gun at his face ! However, the Squirtle Squad episode wasn't banned, even though it also showed Ash being threatened by four people with their guns in the general store.
For what it’s worth, I think in a previous Donkey Kong December video, you said the mechanical fish was impossible with the scope unlocked, or next to it, but there is a strategy for it. I casually speedrun 101% on original hardware, and start with creepy castle first, unlocking everything within an hour of the game. This comes with the downside of having the scope for the mechanical fish. The legitimate strategy to completing it without concerns for time involves exiting scope after each shot. I believe that there is also a hacky way to beat the mechanical fish, but I only recently learned of its existence and haven’t bothered to learn it. I bring this up so maybe others can be aware of the strategy. It’s annoying, but it makes it a lot easier to accomplish.
No, I haven’t ever gotten into streaming or making videos in general. Also, I’m not speed running frequently. I just do it when I have time and want to do it. Life is busy 😅
that's awesome and great to know! Certainly not impossible, but the technique needed to clear the challenge is not what it was initially set up to be or clear to the player!
My guess is the coconut gun and other like weapons ( except Lanky’s) probably have this mechanism when the triggler is pulled then fruit/ feather is launched out like a sling shot. That does not make any sense
Dude I'm sorry, but that story of how Miyamoto was "horrified" at the sight of DK and Diddy firing actual guns and hurriedly drawing a cartoony wooden weapon never fails to make me LOL 😂
My bro facepalmed when he saw me sub to you. we share the computer so... I just looked at him and said "Let this man cook, I sense some skills" and I was right dude. I hope you get a lot more subs and expand abit. Would be a nice hustle you know?
Great use of the gibdo scream 0:41 I never really used the homing ammo since the instraments did most of the work and the areas that require a gun are used the enemies are move slow and pridictably. Speaking of DK guns I always wondered what Funkies gun did when I was young but was shocked to see that it only used once and it just shot a giant shoe. I was hoping it shot watermelons as the rap song said Wallnuts peanuts pinapple smells Grapes *MELONS* oranges and coconut shells. Walnuts and melons were never fired by any gun. I undertsood oranges as granades but where were the walnuts? Were they like dekunuts in Majoras mask where they stun others but was scrapped in concept? Maybe I am overthinking the dk rap. In any case great video 💛❤🐑 I would like to add that my fave guns are the Pinapple launcher and the Peanut gun due to how the sound same with the feather bow wich can be like play on words for the fashion assessory the feather boa. Edit that last part was really funny and I enjoyed that.
haha good catch PomLamb! I think about that part of the DK rap too. I suppose the melons reference the life meters. It's the walnuts that are completely unused! Perhaps Funky is too powerful 😂 and needs to reserve that blaster for big moments haha
@@superjoebros64 He was def like a super hero like in dkc2 where he was flying an a surfboard like the silver surfer. That fellah did a ton of things.

The kongs have a interesting familey history its pretty neat 💛❤🐑
1:04 I'm explaining it to you, real quick. Only in america is it normal, to own a gun and threaten people with it, nevermind in a game meant, for kids... Hope that helps.
These vids are a lot of work. Did you do them all at once or you doing them everyday? I know id try to knock like 5 out in one day (me not knowing how many hours they actually take).

He has no face, he has no soul.
If you cross him, he’ll send you hell.

I love that detail! Cracks me up haha
Giving furry animals guns is Rare's specialty. Even Banjo has one.
Hey! Her name is kazooie!
it just makes sense 😂
DK with a gun, Mario with a gun, Miyamoto with a gun, Kirby with a g... wait a minute.
he's too powerful 😂
The footage you used shows the DK Rap was still in the game with the realistic guns
Yep!! Wanted to see if anyone else caught that!
Did you know in the Monkey Smash Multiplayer mode, the secret character Krusha carries a bazooka that shoots Orange Grenades?
Cranky Kong just stole the guns for himself
Change Donkey kong’s Gun to a cocconut gun fits the nature the kong family, if they keep the guns i imagine Chunky kong caring a big bazooka.
honestly though 😂 the coconut gun just fits
Im here for Donkey Kong December. havent missed a video
and we're only half way there 😁
Wasn't expecting that DK heel turn at the end there. Can't say I'm surprised it hurts though.
yeah I still have bruises 😂
I just found your channel and ive been enjoying all the dk64 content
heck yeah, thank you!! So happy you're enjoying this series 😁
They weren't place holders. This was literally the original plan and Miyamoto didn't like the idea at all.
the article referenced in this video is a quote from George Andreas saying placeholders. It's just an easy thing to forget in general.
I need a speedrun that has donkey king with the coconut gun out for as long as possible in the run. He looks so funny when he walks with it.
yes! I need it 😂
"OW, THAT HURTS!"
Theme song wasn't lying 😂
can confirm it was accurate 😂
I remember hearing about the realistic guns several years ago… And I was blown away.
Part of me wishes it was still in the game, but I kind of understand why Miyamoto had the guys at Rare change it.
Still a really cool piece of history that will forever be part of this fantastic game.
it's really fascinating. Would love a mod version with those real guns back haha. Just for kicks
Donkey Kong meets Planet of the Apes is the game we deserve after years of no news for our boy. He needs to get the straps back and go coconuts
he needs to come back again, it's about time!
0:56 the rap lyrics were made before the guns got changed, in beta e3 footage there are the original guns and all the same lyrics to the rap
Makes perfect sense!
It took me until this video to realize they didn't give DK a gun in Mario + Rabbids despite there being a precedent lol
That's crazy haha
The candy pop gun they gave Dixie in Tropical Freeze also fits her very well.
I wonder what Kiddie Kong's weapon would be... oh well, we'll never see him again anyways.
I feel like he's too young too 😂
I remember playing the multiplayer so many times with family and friends and usually the first thing everyone does is hunt down the homing ammo, whoever gets that first basically won the match lol
yes 😂 basically an instant win
Only thing I would change Tiny gets the grapes and Lanky gets the feathers because he’s different and therefore deserves something that isn’t fruit.
Given what King K Rool battle Tiny faces. Having feathers makes perfect sense.
I can see it, I just don't know what fruit best fits Tiny!
@@Mitjitsu Hey feet squishing grapes also makes sense 😂
walnuts, BBs, gasoline smells
raww-kets and greee-nades and shotgunning shells
😍

Another amazing video! I enjoyed it very much ❤
Thank you! 😁 I really like this one
Donkey Kong: I call shotgun!
Miyamoto: 👁️👄👁️
HOLY MOLLY, you're making hella fuckin' videos man!
every single day!😁
I love the videos man.
Finally earned my sub.
hey thank you! 😁 only half way through the month too!
If he shoots ya, you'll probably die!
So true 😌

do you stream your speedruns?
No, I haven’t ever gotten into streaming or making videos in general. Also, I’m not speed running frequently. I just do it when I have time and want to do it. Life is busy 😅
that's awesome and great to know! Certainly not impossible, but the technique needed to clear the challenge is not what it was initially set up to be or clear to the player!
Each day I get a little bit sadder knowing there’s 1 less dk December vid to come :(
What's that Dr Seuss quote? "Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened." Still plenty to go though! 😁
You forgot to mention Krusha's "Orange Bazuka", but since he only appears in VS. mode, then there's probably nothing much to talk about. 😅
Dang I should have talked about that! It's insanely good haha
Now tell me why peanuts and coconuts deal the same amount of damage.
because video game 😁
My guess is the coconut gun and other like weapons ( except Lanky’s) probably have this mechanism when the triggler is pulled then fruit/ feather is launched out like a sling shot.
That does not make any sense
to be fair, a lot of this game doesn't make much sense haha
@ true. The power to control day and night in one area by a switch
Someone needs to make a realistic gun mod for DK64!
I would play it 😂

But Mario did have a gun in Mario’s Safari
😂
If he shots yea it’s gonna kill you
finally some realistic lyrics 😂
Tiny in my head use bazooka that would be cool none of the enemies see her it fit her size small girl, big weapon
oh heck yeah, sign me up! I like the sound of this
Neat
