[TAS] Donkey Kong Country 3 (GBA) - 103% Tool-assisted Speedrun
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 жов 2024
- This is a Tool-assisted speedrun.
Please visit tasvideos.org for more information.
I started working on this TAS more because of wanting to do another TAS, and 103% was the last "normal" category that was left for me to do.
There were some aspects that scared me, especially the huge amount of RNG when it comes to certain stages, bosses, and most of all the bonus-levels with the green bananas.
However, I can gladly say that I found ways to manipulate the RNG, which is one of the more timesaving parts of this project.
Of course the movement was way more optimized, and even though there might be mistakes and a lot of stuff to improve on, I am really happy with the result as I put a lot of effort into this.
After my any% TAS of this game, I already had rough ideas of the strats I wanted to use for this run. But I have to say that I found so many new and also cool-looking strats, which also saved time, that I enjoyed the work more and more as I went deeper into the run.
Before I started, I created a route for the Bear-Coins. 75 is the amount I needed, with at least 50 after World 5. Because of stupidity I ended up having 76, but that's alright I guess.
And as I said before, there is definitely room for improvement, even though this is far more than just a Human Theory TAS.
I hoped to be able to use more glitches, but unfortunately that didn't really work out. Some Time-Stops were useful, but that's pretty much it.
If there are any questions, feel free to leave a comment.
Have fun watching!

I do prefer the SNES versions, but GBA DKC3 will always, ALWAYS, have a special place in my heart. It was the first donkey kong country game I ever owned as a kid. I’d sit in my grandparents’ rocking chair and kept playing the first level of Lake Orangutan over and over until I had 99 Bear Coins, bought that shell, chocolate, and mirror from that bear, then get back to 99 coins.

Its Astonishing how different this Game looks compared to the SNES
I'm only first level in but music seems crappy compared to snes, and graphics seems worse and better at the same time some how. 😂 never played this version but I love the snes version.
@@thedamagedone3966 but the gba had much better hardware if you consider, the problem was the gba's audio frequency which is terrible.
@@joaofernandes9756 yeah you're definitely not wrong.
Good to know it's physically possible to beat Cranky's highscore lol.
I realize I am kinda randomly asking but do anybody know a good place to stream new tv shows online ?
@Elon Damon flixportal :)
@Archer Nickolas Thanks, I went there and it seems to work :) I appreciate it!!
@Elon Damon you are welcome :D
these goddamn bots
One thing I really like in this version is that they added an additional world in the giant lake next to K3. Idk it just felt like a wasted opportunity in the SNES version, I'm glad they made use of it here!
I totally agree, I think some of the levels would have really benefited from the enhanced graphics on the SNES! Maybe we get HD remakes of these games in a few years with all the additional content from the GBA games.
Just let me dream and hope..
53:21 Za Warudo! Toki wo tomare!

Everyone's a Kremling until Dixie goes for the steamroller.
okay so there are several tracks on this game that I can't get with. it doesn't make sense that I sound like I'm enjoying fun at the beach when I'm in treetops running from a giant saw.
However, I do enjoy the remixed aquatic ambiance. Great job on the TAS. I think I played this game a little, but was turned off when I heard the music and stopped playing it lol. The SNES soundtrack was definitely better, though much darker.
> "Much darker"
> Goofy ass clown music in Stilt Village
Pick one.
@@Bessux a majority of the music in the snes version is darker. You literally picked one of the extreme examples of goofy music
@@EddyGordo21 > "Much darker"
> Goofy ass clown music in Doorstop Dash
Pick one.
@bessux1995 maybe you don't understand what I mean by darker.
So by darker I mean utilizing minor keys throughout various portions of the song or soundtrack. Doorstop dash songs like a minor key song, thus is a darker song.
Not sure what you're going for here.
In the end, my opinion is that the SNES has a darker musical signature than that of the gba version, and that is why I prefer it over the latter.
@@Bessux Tf you mean clown music? That music brings me back
this port was so weird. The Happy Music in Ripsaw Rage, clipping through the ground at random if you swap kongs on cliff levels, all the weird minigames, a complete new soundtrack.
I love how you gave Candy Kong to the Kremlings XD
The controls in those Funky minigames are JANKY AF, maybe even worse than those go-karts I did on Hatteras Island last year.
This game, to me, has always been the worst in the GBA trilogy as it feels just so LAZY

Nice man , you good
Thank you

Cranky do be schmoovin’ tho
Maybe that explains why he got into Tropical Freeze
ASKING YOU SOMETHING:
How does a Tas work?
Is it like playing every level ten times and afterwards the best run is saved into the program or editing parts together so they work like one run?
or is it something completly different?
Hey!
You are close, but it works a little bit different. Let me try to explain:
A TAS is basically nothing else but a text document that lists the inputs given for every single frame. You open the game on an emulator and freeze the game, so that it doesn't advance on it's own. You can then use a function called "Frame Advance" to progress forward frame by frame, and give the proper inputs for them. You make savestates along the way, to be able to try different methods/tricks/ways and therefore see which one is the fastest.
All this information is saved in, as mentioned, some kind of movie that draws the inputs from a text document that is saved within. So it's not like you would type in "Frame 1: A+B" or something, that happens automatically. You just tell the emulator to record your inputs, and then you watch what you have recorded by replaying it. That is what this video does. It shows the inputs I have recorded while going through the game frame by frame, using savestates to work out the fastest way I could find.
I hope that explains it well enough. :)
@@DerAvanor Thank you very much for explaining it so detailed^^ now i got an image in my head how it works hehe
i´ll leave you a thumbs up bro :)
@@faensenalter7200 Thank you! I', glad I could help!
Cranky for Mortal Kombat XDDDD
I would love a remaster
I don't get it. It can't be because of copyright, so why didn't they use any of the music from the original game? Was it a budget thing? Still kinda hard to believe.
According to some comparison-videos, the original SNES soundtrack would have sounded very badly ported to the GBA, which would have ruined it. So they asked David Wise to compose new music instead.
@@DerAvanor Interesting. Thanks!
It's a fascinating Donkey Kong country 3. Is it a completely different game from Znes? Or is it the same game?
The core game is pretty much the same, as far as level layout goes. Only the additional world, some mini-games and smaller things have been added. Of course, the physics are entirely different as well. All these things apply to all DKC GBA games.
@@DerAvanor Well, there's also the completely different soundtrack, which is admittedly hindered to some degree by the hardware, but in general, it's far from David Wise's best.
Came here for the soundtrack that im more familiar with
Edit: i literally just noticed that the zingers are not authentic, they are actually robots O_O
Makes sense: Their Queen got curbstomped in the first game and their King got Mufasa'd in the second. They basically have no means of organization anymore without the Kremlings' hold on their deceased monarchs.
I will never understand why they added extra content to it, the snes version was already good, the only thing i can think off is “maybe they wanted already do this back in the day, but they may did run out of memory space and time”
But again just a guess,,
I wondering by myself,Why was wolfenstein 3D on the gba not updated because that game could,ve a co,op or death match mode into it,but no, it became a lazy port,
Thing is, it defys for what you would expect from a gba ports, like these examples.
Gba é top
I always asked myself, is the Knautilus needed to have 105% ? Because on the SNES version, you get a DK coin essential for the Gyrocopter, but on GBA, it's just a Bear coin...
I can't tell for sure, but I would assume that even beating the stage counts towards 103/105% completion
I was asking myself the same thing, and even in DKC2 GBA, in the original It was and It gave you a DK Coin, but in the GBA one It doesn't.
@@veloxplayer098yeeeah7 I tried it since my last comment, it's indeed required for 105%. I even did everything before the Knautilus and when I have finally beaten the boss, the cutscene where banana birds bring you to the banana bird Queen just started (which was quite weird considering it's supposed to trigger when you have collected the last bird, that makes more sense). Another mystery solved !
I see a whole bunch of islands but I don't see dk island in the overworld map
@avanor where do you get all the parts for the machine that the demolition bear has?
Do you mean the 5 cogwheels for Boomer?
You get them for beating all 5 stages in Krematoa
Avanor having trouble getting all the damn gold coins for him to do his demolition. ..... :(
Jordan Sherrick
You can make use of a code in the Cheat-menu. If you enter 'AQUA' in the Cheat-menu and then just enter your save file or create a new game, you will have all golden Bonus coins collected.
But of course it's more fun to search for the bonus barrels and win the games the traditional way.
Just wanted to mention it
Avanor and u can do that without gameshark or action replay?
Avanor is there a cheat for dk coins? I only need like 4 more but I don't wanna bother
Nintendo No at the beginning!
Game looks alright but I know there were new levels added in the GBA version of this game. The soundtrack of this game is okay but not fantastic cause of how meh it is. You can never beat the original SNES version soundtrack of DKC3
1:03
What the...?
Does that exist in the SNES version?
As far as I know that barrel and the coins are exclusive to GBA. Also the way of teamthrowing used to reach the barrel is only possible in this version.
By pressing 'Up' when Kiddy is about to be thrown, it will result in a combination of a normal throw to the front and a throw upwards, covering both height and distance. :)
That's pretty nifty.
So, is speedrunning this game considerably different to speedrunning the SNES version?
It is, indeed. The physics are entirely different, there is a completely new world with 6 levels to play and the glitches in this game also have their impact. Not so much in 103% however, the any% run shows that better. There is also a TAS of that, if you're interested.
Would you say then that the GBA version is more interesting to speed-run than the SNES version?
That comes down to personal preference, I guess. I've ran both versions and both gave me a lot of fun.
I would say for 103% I prefer SNES, but GBA has the more interesting any% run. That's of course just my own opinion. :)

スーファミの時とは違ってBGMが不気味な感じじゃないんだね
1:57:30 are you ok diving into lava??
It's my favourite thing to do!
Die Musik des SNES-Titels hat mir um länger besser gefallen. Dieses Gedudel ist ja absolut austauschbar - es besitzt einfach keinerlei Wiedererkennungswert.
Why are the songs so different? On SNES, this game has other songs
True, but I don't know why that is. All I know is that David Wise composed new music for this version of the game.
@@DerAvanor maybe it's because the GBA hardware can't handle low noises and could actually explode itself?
how many dk coins are in the game?
If you actually watch the video, you will see a counter appearing each time I collect a DK Coin. It says xx/46, you'll figure it out for sure :)
SNES:40
Xbox:40
Gba:46

Why did this player play the game in the unoriginal order the developers intended? Sure, this game gives you more freedom but the order of the world's the developers intended are...
1. Lake Orangatanga
2. Kremwood Forest
3. Cotton-Top Cove
4. Mekanos
5. K3
6. Razor Ridge
7. Pacifica
8. Kaos Kore
9. Krematoa
That's the point of a speedrun, or in this case a TAS in particular. Things are done in different order to save time, or to get certain items before heading to their respective destinations.
Also, as this game gives you so much freedom, there is not really a point in saying that you "should" play the game in a certain way.
You can do it as you wish, and other people can do so too if they like their way better. :)
@@DerAvanor true I guess. I just like to play in the original order.
@@michaelhockaday6474 idk man. The devs give You an option to choose anyways, in the other two DKC games the map was linear so there you could say there do is an order
Hmm
