Thank you for ruining a format that was just meant to make creepy aspects things more well known, as well as make fun of creepypasta history Channel conspiracy type stuff
Also I don't sincerely entirely blame you, the format started ruining itself once it became a meme applied to everything, but if you're the dude that made it a TH-cam trend that certainly blew it's ass out. I haven't even actively browsed 4chan in a few years and that was the only place I usually saw it, so I couldn't care much less, not that I mean to imply meme charts ever deserved any sort of arthouse praise to begin with.
@@cgnfake6721 I don’t have a problem with iceberg videos, I actually really like them, but when it comes to mish koz and how he got really popular most people probably (not saying all) only watch and know him for his iceberg videos. I hope that makes sense I’m not all good with expressing or explaining myself, thanks for the question tho lol
I really like the way this video was structured and paced! Something that caught me off-guard was at 15:41. I grew up with the GBA port and I never noticed that at all. Had to go back and check it for myself.
Since you pointed it out, I want you to know that the earliest example of Donkey Kong having teeth in this era was in the TV show, where they were also weirdly retractable.
For the underground segments - They might’ve decided to use a parrot instead of an owl to reference how miners used to carry parrots to help detect harmful gases
This may be my #1 most consistently enjoyable video. There's just such a fun, cozy air to it, like hanging out with a friend and bonding over something that you're both oddly knowledgeable about.
This was great--I loved the early concepts & designs bit, I hadn't seen all of Gregg Mayles' Tweets so the design document was especially cool (of course Rare would try for a name like Hooter)! It was also super neat hearing about CRT display vs pixel perfect, I hadn't really considered the benefits and downsides to each since I'm so used to emulation/Virtual Console as an easier way to record footage 😅
I think the whole thing with the teeth is artistic choice. DK's teeth flare up whenever he's mad, aggressive, or going for a big emotion (like on the cover of Tropical Freeze), while he tends to be "toothless" when he's calm. The thing is, when it comes to character design, big teeth tend to make characters look edgy or intimidating, and that's probably not what Rare wanted to go with for their laidback, fun-loving take on DK.
Teeth can be considered scary, if you look at Early Pokemon Renders, both Lapras and Nidoqueen have more teeth that were removed to make them cuter in later iterations. I can only figure this is why Dk's Teeth disappear, to make him friendly looking unless he's angry.
Just yesterday I was rewatching the Mario 64 iceberg, which brought me some good memories, then thinking "I wish Mish Koz made another one". Yes I know it's not technically an iceberg but it's close enough. I'll watch it later tonight. Thank you!
mish your videos are consistently such a huge cut above the rest in blending dedicated research with a personable demeanor and humor. i get stoked every time i see a new upload from you!
i played dkc1 for the first time a couple of months ago (switch online), and its really cool to be able to see everything i missed. i definitely want to play the other games in the series now. incredible video!
I really love long videos like this, & it was neat to see all this diving into information! Thanks a bunch for uploading! Looking forward to future parts!
Dude, you should make a video about the eerie aspects of Donkey Kong 64, and how it has way too many "spooky" elements, like Frantic Factory, Creepy Castle, the weird club monsters, how all minecart minigames pushed way too hard on being loud and scary (specially the last one), and many more details! Great video like always, sooo interesting! Glad to see more people interested in the "little" details that I've always admired since I was a child!
This video was great! Ive always been a huge fan of DKC in general so its always fun to learn more about it, its evident a lot of research was put into this Im really looking foward to your DKC2 & DKC3 videos!
That Kremlantis remix at the end was so darn sweet, I still adore Donkey Kong Land's soundtrack a whole ton Fantastic video! Seriously glad you're doing more miscellaneous trivia videos on a similar format Keep at it! I'm excited for the DKC2 and 3 videos in the future
Iceberg or not. You explain and show stuff off well. Be confident and make whatever you want. As long as you bring your talents. It will be ok. This video was so interesting too, good job
This video made me really want to play this game again, so I went out and bought a cart on marketplace with a crt for my snes, this is a great freaking game. Thanks
5:20 I think the theme of each DKC game can be summed up to the different aliases K. Rool takes on throughout the franchise. DKC2 was obviously pirate-based, so he becomes Kaptain K. Rool, sporting pirate garb and wielding a musket. DKC3 was themed after the Industrial Revolution, so he takes on the form of mad scientist Baron K. Roolstein (the final boss fight even takes place aboard a submarine). However, in the first DKC game, he goes by his most iconic role King K. Rool, donning a simple crown-and-cape. This would suggest that DKC1 perhaps has a theme of Imperialism, which would further explain the military uniforms. The Kremlins have invaded Kong Island, they intend to colonize on the land, they've even set up a factory where they're producing god knows what… that whole schtick. Kind of echoing MatPat's sentiments for all who have seen his video on the same subject, but this is also my thinking.
Honestly? I prefer this format over icebergs. You can just talk in whatever order about what you find interesting, without having to force some arbitrary order. I don’t even play any of these games you talk about but it’s just really cool watching these.
Your videos are always good fun and well made, with excellent explanations and a great love for the subject at hand. Honestly I'm just happy to have your stuff in my inbox ... besides, a lot of iceberg images are crappy and feature wayy too much made up creepypasta cringe, so if you ditch them, I don't blame you at all!
I actually have my Wii hooked up to a CRT in my room right now, though I haven’t used it in a while. It’s kinda buzzard playing games from 2006 to 2011 on a tv made over a decade before all of them. It’s pretty cool honestly.
Emulation on Wii is definitely one of the biggest reasons why I've kept my current CRT around. I think it'd be interesting to play modern games (that aren't Wii games of course) on one, though dealing with overscan would be a pain.
Many younger players of the classic DKC games never got to understand just how groundbreaking DKC was when it released. The pre-rendered backgrounds and the character animations were basically unheard of back then. At the time, most ppl didn't realize the kind of music the SNES was capable of, until given composers who were as talented, passionate and patient as David Wise and crew.
The turnaround animations for DIddy underwater were reused in DKC2. The dev team created a few levels using sticky notes to easily change the designs. One of the devs (probably Greg Mayles) drew an image on DK telling Diddy that a level would be easy, but it has many enemies up ahead. In this image, Diddy Kong says Sh*t. I assume this drawing was referenced in the last episode of the DKC TV show, where Diddy Kong says "I can't believe I used my best materials on this shindig", which sounds really similar to sh*t. Also, I think David Wise was high on 8 tabs of acid when he thought of Aquatic Ambiance according to that "Man Tasked With Making Score for a Monkey Riding a Swordfish Underwater Creates Transcendent Piece of Music" article. The website makes satire articles, so I don't know if this is true or not.
Actually, I think Squawks was likely kept in over Hooter due to parrots being more tropical themed animals than owls, despite the role of lighting up dark caves making more sense for an owl
I think it's pretty interesting that king k.rool brought a crew of over 350 kremlings. Maybe that indicates that he knew that the banana hoard was guarded.
Actually kinda happy about not calling it an "Iceberg" since 1. it sounds less trend-based now. and 2. I really don't like how the iceberg vids always try to make the lower levels of the iceberg creepier than they are.
bro i love you mish you are the coolest youtuber ever also I've NEVER heard anyone else explain why sprites are so long on snes games (especially kirby super star, literally played that game for years wondering why he's so long) THANK YOU
Grew up with both the SNES (emulation and rentals) and GBA versions of DKC1, a total childhood staple. And even then there were things that I didn’t know before like the colored Zinger patterns and the hidden banana underground stashes, so well done. Also tried the color restoration hack of the GBA port and I loved it, though it’s still a bit incomplete in places (like in Stop and Go Station) so hopefully someone improves it, as well as giving the sequels equal treatment. Btw, there are some Brazilian fans that have been spending years making a PC fan game that faithfully follows up the original SNES trilogy with plenty of content (like all 4 Kongs being playable) and all made from scratch. It’s called “DKC4: The Kongs Return” and there are some demos available in its Facebook page so check it out if possible!
people should talk more about the output that is in use, because a heard some crappy stuff about old games for this reason, your crt is an excellent example
Playing this game as a 6-7 year old... i remember when crts were in every room of our house. Id unplug my snes and just bring it room to room wherever everyone was or sometimes where everyone wasnt. Good times.
to me the theme of dk3 was always camping and hiking, like the lake and woods and the montains are all more tourist looking the the previous ones. Off course the industry theme is there too. But it was also present on DKC1
We technically did get a robot Kremlins as there exists robot Kremlins in DK64 in Frantic Factory, although they are more like toy robots but they could’ve been inspired by the Robot Kremlin idea

Fantastic video. My first time playing DKC was..on the Game Boy Colour. All things considered, it was a decent port.
Good videos dude
I really like the way this video was structured and paced!
Something that caught me off-guard was at 15:41. I grew up with the GBA port and I never noticed that at all. Had to go back and check it for myself.
Cranky's tips are what helped me 102% DKC2 for the first time. I guess he really did get softer on the second game and later.
Since you pointed it out, I want you to know that the earliest example of Donkey Kong having teeth in this era was in the TV show, where they were also weirdly retractable.
Underrated ass show
Didn't DK have teeth in the arcade sprite as well though?
@@mds_main Technically that's Cranky Kong.
@@duncangaming4165 that's still kinda muddy though, unless there was an official confirmation I missed
@@mds_main It's literally part of the lore. I mean look at the intro of DKC
For the underground segments - They might’ve decided to use a parrot instead of an owl to reference how miners used to carry parrots to help detect harmful gases
Wasn't that canaries? I feel like its just because parrots are more 'jungle-y' than owls
Yeah, I always heard it was canaries. Incidentally, this is why Canary Mary in Banjo-Tooie is a canary lady.
@@bhlaab Shit I think it was canarys.
Uhhh... close enough?
Hooter means breast, the owl has a joke name they wanted to put in
This may be my #1 most consistently enjoyable video. There's just such a fun, cozy air to it, like hanging out with a friend and bonding over something that you're both oddly knowledgeable about.

31:00 Donkey Kong used to show a lot his teeth on the arcade era so giving his teeth back I guess was a way to make references to those games.
I think the whole thing with the teeth is artistic choice. DK's teeth flare up whenever he's mad, aggressive, or going for a big emotion (like on the cover of Tropical Freeze), while he tends to be "toothless" when he's calm. The thing is, when it comes to character design, big teeth tend to make characters look edgy or intimidating, and that's probably not what Rare wanted to go with for their laidback, fun-loving take on DK.
Teeth can be considered scary, if you look at Early Pokemon Renders, both Lapras and Nidoqueen have more teeth that were removed to make them cuter in later iterations. I can only figure this is why Dk's Teeth disappear, to make him friendly looking unless he's angry.
This reminds me a lot of Cybershell's Sonic Bonus videos and I am here for it.
Just yesterday I was rewatching the Mario 64 iceberg, which brought me some good memories, then thinking "I wish Mish Koz made another one". Yes I know it's not technically an iceberg but it's close enough. I'll watch it later tonight. Thank you!

The Theme of Donkey Kong Country is "Nature vs Technology"
i played dkc1 for the first time a couple of months ago (switch online), and its really cool to be able to see everything i missed. i definitely want to play the other games in the series now. incredible video!
I know you as the i Carly deaths guy :)
Seriously you’re funny!
1:41 I've been playing this game for 15 years and I didn't know you could do that hand slap thing.
I really love long videos like this, & it was neat to see all this diving into information! Thanks a bunch for uploading! Looking forward to future parts!
This game is cool and all, but it just needs more Wario!
Dude, you should make a video about the eerie aspects of Donkey Kong 64, and how it has way too many "spooky" elements, like Frantic Factory, Creepy Castle, the weird club monsters, how all minecart minigames pushed way too hard on being loud and scary (specially the last one), and many more details!
Great video like always, sooo interesting! Glad to see more people interested in the "little" details that I've always admired since I was a child!
This completely proves my idea that it's almost better to have a regular super fun fact video over trying to make a whole iceberg.
This video was great!
Ive always been a huge fan of DKC in general so its always fun to learn more about it, its evident a lot of research was put into this
Im really looking foward to your DKC2 & DKC3 videos!
I actually just rewatched a few of your oldee videos and throught when the next one was coming out
Great Stuff
loved this video!! grew up playing the GBA version and seeing the photos and mini-games really brought me back
I'm so glad I've stayed subscribed. Your "real" content is really damn good.
That Kremlantis remix at the end was so darn sweet, I still adore Donkey Kong Land's soundtrack a whole ton

Keep at it! I'm excited for the DKC2 and 3 videos in the future
'DERE HE IS!'
Nice analysis and deep dive into DKC and it's content!
Really great video, absolutely love seeing a new Mish Koz video in my feed. Iceberg or not, I’d love to see more trivia videos like this
Awesome video man, I've been playing dkc since I was in preschool.
Also 25:16 nearly killed me
Iceberg or not. You explain and show stuff off well. Be confident and make whatever you want. As long as you bring your talents. It will be ok. This video was so interesting too, good job
Playing donkey Kong country on my old super Nintendo when I was a little kid is the reason why I am into gaming at all today. I still play it a lot
I also know you as the guy who give me back my love for videogame mysteries and Obscure facts
This isn’t an ice berg but it has ice berg vibes, I say you should call it “A DKC ocean”
Absolutely fantastic content! This video not only educated me on one of my favorite Super Nintendo games, but also got me in the mood to play it... XD
This video made me really want to play this game again, so I went out and bought a cart on marketplace with a crt for my snes, this is a great freaking game. Thanks
Something to note about the GBC version of DKC is that it has an exclusive level called "Necky's Nutmare" and "Winky's Walkway" got extended

Kaptain K. Rool uses a blunderbuss.
HELL YEAH MY DUDE! Glad you uploaded more content!
FINALLY someone makes one of these for DK, (sorta), I almost did it myself. BTW Fredrik is probably k rool wearing the skin of a waldough
I kinda want more videos like this where it’s just random facts you thought were interesting
I've been a fan of DKC since Xmas of '94, great job on this!
Honestly? I prefer this format over icebergs. You can just talk in whatever order about what you find interesting, without having to force some arbitrary order.

Picture Donkey Kong swinging on a vine. Now, did you picture him falling into a pit?
The King K. Rool Apparition
the part where you just listed how many of every enemy there is in the game was truly psychopathic, subscribed
25:05
Cranky: What's good
Donkey Kong : Nah I'm head out
This is 100x better than the iceberg video... and I thought that about the sm64 iceberg video came out! Keep making stuff!

Honestly I'm just happy to have your stuff in my inbox ... besides, a lot of iceberg images are crappy and feature wayy too much made up creepypasta cringe, so if you ditch them, I don't blame you at all!
Additionally to the retractable teeth, the Kongs also have weird fur sleeves, but that was a thing that vanished when Rare stopped designing them
That Rock Krock killing with DK’s ground slap is so cool!
Thank you for this video! Please do more videos of obscure facts about games or just gushing about games that you like.
Cant wait for a bunch of NOT iceberg videos to show up now LOL.

The script is almost done! I'll hopefully make some progress on it this week!!
this is an iceberg video but the iceberg just melted before the video was finished
Wario would've been a great DK villain. They could have retroactively declared that the evil Mario in Donkey Kong Jr was actually Wario!
Don’t know much about the old games since I haven’t completed them but I do like dk so I’ll watch

Man, me and my sister played this game to death when it came out. I had completely forgotten how good they looked on CRTVs.
Nintendo should provide CRT filter options for virtual console.
Shit, there was actually a lot I've never heard of, in here. This was really entertaining.

So glad your SM64 video blew up. I couldn't imagine such a great channel going unnoticed. Here's to further success
8:45 it's funny that you put an alert there, i was like "whats wrong?" and then i realized the weird system they have in America
I actually did really like that segment about pixels. I never realized how older TVs make pixelated games look super good.

This was one of my first games for the snes. The soundtrack is just perfect. Best soundtrack ever

Hooter being replaced by Squawks was probably because of the restaurant chain that Nintendo wouldn't want any attachment to. That's what I'm thinking at least
