    Blows my mind that after 17 years there are still things like this undiscovered. Between the internet, and the fact that most games tell you if you've found everything, you'd expect the top players know every last tiny detail, and then it turns out they totally missed a coin sitting on the ground.
    Next you're gonna tell me that Luigi really is in Mario 64, just chilling in a little nook nobody noticed...

      @hoodedman6579 7 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Note that Banana Medals, which require getting 75 colored bananas in each level, are required for 101%; colored bananas are not essential to progressing in the game in a speedrun though, as it is fairly trivial to clip into each boss room.

      @_maza_2443 7 ปีที่แล้ว +18

      j hrk Coins don't count toward the game completion percentage. So this makes no difference. 101% is not "all collectables". There is an All Collectables category, but it's like 7 and a half hours long and nobody likes it. Lol

      +Chris Beach it's very likely! Isotarge just happened to be the first to document it. It's kind of like any discovery of an animal species. It's pretty likely somebody has seen it before, but there's no way they would know it's important or unknown or even feel like reporting it. The fact that speedrunners knew about coins that were OOB before knowing about this one is really a testament of how hard it was to find.

    • @archivearranger8792
      @archivearranger8792 5 ปีที่แล้ว +80

      DK64's hidden areas are clearly marked by switches, unlike Zelda, which has weird puzzles like Song of Storms next to a random tree to open a grotto, or Mario 64, which had breakaway walls without clear markers. DK64 didn't give players a reason to search for secrets.

      @Paul Martin What secret is that?

    • @naoaquieopatrickpatrick8565
      @naoaquieopatrickpatrick8565 2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      @Paul Martin technically people already knew it was there, they just didn't know how to activate it outside of glitches or ID clip, and you can also activate it by save and reload method, since your character "falls through" the floor for less than a second before going back to it's original height, so Doom 2's case isn't nowhere to be comparated to the DK64 one, because people knew it was there since the map of the level marks that place in purple when you walk over it, but it doesn't consider it a secret revealed because the secret trigger was placed way too low on the map for the player to trigger it via normal gameplay, it was "unobtainable" until zero master figured out a way that didn't require the save/load method, which isn't allowed during Demo records. Donkey kong 64 however, there's simply no fucking way to see it unless you notice a very small change on the surface type, which people probably did in the past but never called it out.

    Let me get this straight: The speedrunning community, notorious for hitting basically every movement combination near every wall and piece of floor, and spending days at a time practicing everything to try and shave 2 seconds off of their time or the record, even hitting out-of-bounds objects/warps in some cases, and literally nobody ever noticed this one dirt patch that was in the game normally?
    Damn, would be kinda cool if somebody finds an extra red-coin in Mario 64 that can spare seconds off of the world record and can only be hit with one of those break-dance kicks. I'd imagine the insanity if that happens.

    Wow. I was expecting something like the uncollectable coin in Super Mario 64. You know, something out of bounds, and that's why it went unnoticed.
    Can't believe this went unnoticed by the larger community for so long. The list that he was using that said that this coin was not a part of it, was it a list compiled by the game or whatever guy made the program? If it's actually registered as not a part of collectibles in the game, then I guess I'm inclined to believe that Rare hid it so well, they forgot it was there at all.

      Ruler Of The Wasteland I was expecting something that had never been discovered before, like some kind of easter egg, Not something that 3 people he asked hadn't found before, that thousands of people have probably found but thought nothing of it because it's not even that well hidden, It's right next to that character change barrel thing so the chances of walking over it are very high.

      It's more like 17 years to find something that a minority of people found. Sounds like the vast majority of DK64 runners had no idea that this was even in the game. They found OUT OF BOUNDS coins before they did this. It may seem silly and obvious, but keep in mind if someone who did know about the coin cared about this, they didn't speak up. Nobody spread the information about the coin before for the years this game was being speedrun.

      New Zen It's not the first time someone discovered it but because none of these people bothered to document it till now, might as well have never existed in terms of speedrunning.

    I use to mess around in my games and go exploring. I actually noticed a hump in the tall grass when I walked over it. I thought it was some secret so I tried ground pound and etc until I did that move leart from the Banana fairy. So this coin was no secret to me...
    So yeah! It was found 22 years ago :P Had no idea Speed Runners didn't know about it though lols! I'll just take this as my DK64 flex! ;)

      The thing is it's such an obscure insignificant thing in the back of my mind's memory that I never imagined it would have been important in any way. I also hadn't watched any speedruns on the game until recently, but even then I doubt that my memory of it would have been triggered until I had seen this video. As, I would have just trusted speedrunners to have figured all this collectable stuff out by now.

I get this is a case of something hidden in plain sight so it's funny it wasn't documented, but that still means it wasn't discovered by the Donkey 64 community. It's like that hidden programmer message in the port of the original Donkey Kong to Coleco or one of the other old systems. It's went undiscovered for years, but you know there was probably some guy who got it to show up and just never noticed or just went, "Oh cool." and never thought of it ever again.

    My sister actually found that rainbow coin years ago on DK 64. It's possible other people who has played DK 64 and don't broadcast or share there gameplay could have found it before also.

      *EZScape* My bad. Misunderstanding. Sry..

    Lol, the first time THEY found it, I had the game on the console and found that one by using POV mode with Diddy Kong and I'm sure I was not the only one that found it like that!

    I love it that we're still discovering secrets in games from the 90's

    This wasn't just discovered,it's an old fact,it's not our fault the speed run community is out of touch.

    I actually found this a couple years back and freaked out so much!! Some times these things just don't get heard :P

    It's amazing how this game is the only game I know of that always has something new to offer despite this game being before the time of dlc.

    I found this when I was like 6 years old, you raise so high on the area where the coin is, it's not hidden.

    I love things like this. There are probably a lot of things like this in games.

    Actually I remember finding that coin as a kid because of the ground was slightly elevated and questioning the game developers. I couldn't beat the game until I was an adult though. The original DK arcade was too hard for me lol.

    I always find it impressive when a glitch is found after so many years...but to find a Rainbow coin dirt patch after 17 years that's just been sitting there...that is just amazing lmao!

    Crazy how many things get discovered out of nowhere a decade or more after a game's release. Like the fact that you can insta-kill Kalle Demos in Wind Waker with sacred forest water.

    So funny story, I definitely found that coin as a kid. About five years ago, I decided to replay the game. I remembered the coin was under all the dirt piles, though I couldn't remember exactly how you got the coin from the dirt pile.
