Yes, absolutely insane! Btw for anybody reading, if you’re a fan of The Simpsons & retro games, you absolutely MUST see the wild music videos on this channel 👆👆 you will NOT regret it.
I can't believe i'm still learning new stuff about this game this many years later... i didn't knew about numbers 5, 2 and 1 at all Congrats man, keep up the good work
It's probably a lot easier to just beat the level normally than it is to find that warp in Millstone Mayhem. Almost defeats the purpose of a warp barrel.
Another great and interesting list to kick off the new year with. Finding out about these shortcuts was certainly mind-blowing for me too. I knew about the ones in the mine cart level and Snow Barrel Blast, but everything else was a shock. Especially the ones where you have to be Donkey Kong to reach them. It all definitely makes me curious about what kinds of warps might exist in DKC2 and 3 as well. Super fun video to watch, and the little animation with the title card using those sound effects was awesome!
Have been more than 20 years and I still remember how I discover, by accident, the one on Snow Barrel Blast! I just press the button on wrong timing and I was pretty sure I'll die lol
For 20 years+ I thought I maybe made the one up about the mine cart level one. I found out about it by accident but then afterwards in my mind the barrel was in the middle or on the right of the gap. Great video!
It's possible some of these warps are left over from testing when the levels weren't finished. Some of the levels have complex mechanics that took a fair bit of work.
knew about 2/3rd of them....when you are a kid, you didn't get games often and have to play the hell out of your games, so I would just check every nook and cranny looking for secrets.
If you press start + select near the end of the Mine Cart Carnage, you can exit the stage earlier by like one second 😂 And if you do this in a 2 player contest mode, you'll be able to play again. The other player will miss a turn.
I knew all of them EXCEPT the one in Tree Top Town! I never knew that existed and I would do cranky runs for this game and never noticed it. Man 2025 is on to a good start!
I found the warp at Milstone Mayhem once by accident and never knew how I did it or the exact location of the barrel. I tried several times to find it again but I never could. Thanks to you I'm glad to know I didn't dream it. :')
@@MarMaxGaming that's not what happened... I remember stepping on a Krusha with Donkey Kong but instead I got hit. Usually when that happens the other ape (Diddy) comes in jumping to take place, and I accidentaly pressed the jump button in the right moment so Diddy made a higher jump than usual and got into the warp barrel. I tried to recreate that situation again, but never could.
Had this game since it came out in 94 as a kid. Knew about half of em. Crazy lol. I will say the con is you are skipping bonus levels. I remember the one on snow barrel blast I did by accident after dying 80 million times lol.
Great Video! I think you underestimate the seemingly pointless things kids in the 80s and 90s would do in an attempt to entertain ourselves though. I remember spending so much time in this game as a kid just doing dumb pointless stuff because I had already beaten the game God knows how many times. Most of us only had a handful of games we owned and whatever we might rent from blockbuster on the weekend so we made the most of what we had, even with the bad games. Today it almost seems like games are more accessible and plentiful, especially to younger kids, most of the time back then I remember only ever having a few games with every new console I had and if I was lucky maybe get a new one for christmas. Basically what I'm saying is this resulted in doing stupid stuff like pushing tires backwards across the level for entertainment lol.
You’re totally right, a lot of people play games to finish them but then there’s the realm of kids that truly explored these 2D levels to their maximum capacity and that is honestly a very special thing… I appreciate you watching and commenting!
I think at the time most of the "plain sight" shortcuts would have been obscured because we would have originally played on a crt and would have been hidden off the edge of the screen due to overscan
There's a huge skip in Kongo Jungle, at least on the PAL version. If you spam A while moving between either the second level and Cranky's Cabin, or Cranky's Cabin and the third level (it's been years) when you hit one of the corners it'll teleport you to the start of Vine Valley (I think. Maybe it was Kremkroc Industries)
I knew the first 5. I found the one in Vulture Culture when i was doing a speedrun (not professional, just for fun) and usually i prefer Diddy, because he feels faster, but in this run, i lost Diddy at the last boss, so i had to make do with Donkey and usually i don't switch, when i don't absolutely have to, so... yeah. but the other 4... i had no idea they existed. I'll probably skip the one in Millstone Mayhem... while cool.. it seems rather slow
Is it not possible to reach the last barrel with jumping onto one of the Krushas? I mean, they are right nearby and you just have to suppress the urge to blast them with the TNT barrels.
@@ThatguycalledJoe that’s an interesting angle… I mostly just ranked them based on how well hidden, unusual, and obscure they are! When a warp brings you like 90% through a level, it’s bound to skip some bonus rooms haha
The only ones I knew about were #9 and #8 and #6. I think #6 should be #9. In any case it should definitely be before #7 which I never knew about. #6 is almost guaranteed to be found just by error.
The millstone mayhem shortcut is way different than I remember. I think it's because I've never seen that shortcut before, and I've played DKC a lot in my life! I looked up a shortcut in that one... that ain't it.
@@channel-8777 the fascinating part about that is there are some duplicate letters out there, you are not required to get any of these shortcuts or warps to collect any of the KONGs. We actually just did a Top 10 KONGs last time!
How about one you didn't even mention? In world 1, on the map screen, in between the levels the little dotted line path that leads from one to another have bends in them. At any of these bends (between the 1st and 2nd levels, the 2nd and 3rd, or the 4th and 5th, mash A and B at exactly the moment your know reaches the bend. Suddenly you'll find yourself warped to the middle of the level Orangutan Gang, near the end of world 3. Interestingly, after performing this warp you won't be able to return to worlds 1 and 2 because you never actually unlocked them on the island map. Apparently this was a programmer short cut that was accidentally left in. Unfortunately, I just learned the trick only works in the 1.0 and 1.1 versions of the snes game. It was removed after that in later versions.
@@cravdraa this one is quite a bit different! I’ve seen that bizarre exploit, mashing on the connecting path until it brings you to Orang-utan Gang… it feels like it’s own little weird trick instead of an actual warp barrel or shortcut in a level type of deal. Thanks for watching and commenting about this unique trick too!
Figure out as a kid, #9, #8 by thinking let's try left why not lol; #7 by accident, #6 think did as a kid and forgot about it somehow, #5 only seen on video but then maybe I did stumble once on it never sure how to repeat it again could have happened, #4 yes did it as a kid but over time somehow got lost in the mind as got older with more serious matters in life, #3 sounds like it is new to me, if ever knew it the memory could not hold onto like it the first 3 kept, #2 one day felt like let's see what happens if I jump on the vulture got it by accident lol then life took the memory away lol and lastly #1 must have been very young then one felt like what if I bring it left that tire and then as got older was not something would have had a need to keep in my mind anymore. Thus has to be 6 or 7 100% sure would have found as a kid in those 90's...but 5th bonus in the stage with 5 and bonus inside a bonus needed that book as an adult to find sadly.
I also would like to mention 1 more shortcut you missed. Even though, it's accessible via bonus room. In Ropey Rampage, accessing the 1st bonus room, will cause a huge level skip upon exiting the bonus room. Quite a big shortcut there.
@@DrcMgcnPuzzle appreciate you watching! To be clear, I didn’t “miss” any shortcuts; we already looked at and counted down Bonus Rooms in a previous video… Ropey Rampage shoots the player at a kremling and you bounce over a little section, which is massively different than the ones we were talking about in this list.

I never ever knew there was a part 2 to the very first warp you showed, and I've 100%'d this game dozens of times.
@@spoonflaps12 for sure, the whole list is ridiculously well hidden! They’re really sneaky.
Well... that's because you didn't 101'%'d it.
@@brunovalenti99 to be fair, none of these shortcuts (or KONG letters) affect the completion %!
me as well
Same here. I knew some of these shortcuts, but not over half of them despite playing through the game so often.
These would have been mind blowing to learn as a kid in the 90s. 😮
Yes, absolutely insane!

It's probably a lot easier to just beat the level normally than it is to find that warp in Millstone Mayhem. Almost defeats the purpose of a warp barrel.
Yeah Millstone Mayhem isn’t even that difficult of a stage so might as well just complete it normally.
Nah but the SWAG

love these videos! I think it would be cool if you did similar video concepts on DKC2 and 3 as well :)
Back in the 90s my friend and his brother always argued about if that was cheating or not doing shortcuts on their turn to play.
For 20 years+ I thought I maybe made the one up about the mine cart level one. I found out about it by accident but then afterwards in my mind the barrel was in the middle or on the right of the gap. Great video!
It's possible some of these warps are left over from testing when the levels weren't finished. Some of the levels have complex mechanics that took a fair bit of work.
Couldn’t they just manually position the kongs?
That last one was so stupidly unintuitive that I would have never bothered to try it. I thank you for sharing the secret.
knew about 2/3rd of them....when you are a kid, you didn't get games often and have to play the hell out of your games, so I would just check every nook and cranny looking for secrets.
Some of these were insane! I didn't know about them! This game is amazing.
Never knew about #9,#5 or #1. Such a crazy game
Bro the theme music in the intro...... the memories, great vid! Remembered finding these back in the day the hard way.
I had the official players guide and it ONLY detailed the first four. I had no idea about these other ones!
I need to go back and play this again now!
Love the old school DK videos keep it up!
I never knew about 8 or 9, dam sneaky those ones!
i cant believe after like 30 years that i missed like 4 of these
I suffered those minecarts when I could have skipped it
THERE'S A WARP IN SNOW BARREL BLAST!?
What. The.

Love it!
That’s so odd, I could’ve sworn Slipslide ride was a level in DKC2.
I had a proper Mandela effect moment watching that entry 🤯
@Kenyonchowmein thanks man! And hey, it does have a similar backdrop with Arctic Abyss so you’re probably remembering that one too!
@ love the soundtrack to that one 🩵
Wooow, i miss some of these.
Great video 🔥
This is awesome, I just finished doing a series on DKC3 but there's alot in this one that I've never know. Cheers man 👍

@@JaimeEaerle wow, yeah I’d have to see it to believe it too!
Wow ... except for minecart madness and the one for going to the left. I did not know the rest.
You know, it also seems like it that number 1 shortcut only reacts again to donkey Kong. Like that one in the vulture level.
@@HolySilverStrike that very well could be true, unless it’s similar to Slipslide Ride and barely out of reach… I wonder!
I still remember when I found #8 by accident as a kid 😂 no one believed me at first
Never completed this game just getting back into collecting will def give this a 100%+ ive done it for dkc2
Holy crap I’m gonna have a blast replaying this with my cousin😅
Omg I never ever knew about these
Landing from a jump at the edge so you can roll jump further?
I'll have to try that 🙂
I read that you can roll off a ledge and then jump, this is the forst time that I hear about jumping there first to go further
thanks I've been wondering this for nearly 30 years
My favorite is Snow Barrel Blast because I found the level so damn hard and then you need to complete 4 more levels after it to get to a save point.
You have a really calming voice
I found most of these while going for 101% as a kid, but I didn't know about the tree-top town or millstone mayhem ones.
I wasn't aware of the last 3
Thank you
I NEVER SAW THE ICE BARREL OR KNEW IT EXISTED WHAT THE FK IS THAT
I found the rail warp seeing if I could hit the bird for fun
Great stuff!
#4 on the list mind blown man giving this a like

It works on the US version as well except version 1.2 which is patched.
I found warps 9 to 6 from your ranking by myself
I knew about half of these. Also bumped into different warps in the GBA ports a few times on accident.
I knew about these, except maybe the last one. I wonder if it's possible to reach it bouncing off an enemy instead of the tire.
Snow Barrel Blast: the real boss of the game. 😎
Dev doors 😂
