@@TheLastDrPhil No. Our PC during this time was very old so it crashed and corrupted on world 8 which lost all of our progress on world 7 in which my brother and I decided to give up at that point.
Donkey kong game’s, where his bananas are stolen, fastest world records are canonically how fast he got his bananas back. Like how angry he was to get them back.
Let’s all appreciate how this game has 0 documented bugs, not even tas only ones, after nearly 11(?) years Now let’s take that knowledge, and disregard it. Let’s try to crack this game open like an egg boys
I know of two glitches: 1. You can take damage and throw a dk barrel at the same time to have dk and 1hp and diddy at 2. It can definitely be done by tas but I'm not sure of it's usefulness. 2. Cranky sometimes disappears when you enter the shop. Don't know what causes it, but it most probably is a loading issue, and cannot be replicated by tas.
@@davinchristino you can also Clip through rails using minecarts, cancel knockback from moving into walls by pressing grab & triple/double pound on some buttons (dunno if triple is possible outside of 8-1) hope this helps :3
I love the fact that Tiki Tong used the bananas we were after the entire game just to gain hands which he loses merely around thirty seconds into the fight.
Been playing DKCR again recently, and while I’m a slow-playing collectibles sort of person, it’s so clear than enemy and platform placements are set up for getting through the levels at speed. Came here to see what that looked like, and I’m not disappointed, wow! Impressive stuff!
13:41 I never noticed how well-timed that key change is, it helps show the intensity of the crab pulling out that giant cannon and makes that moment in the level feel special
53:56 - 54:02 is such a troll. The game is like 'Oh, you thought you were unlocking the boss? Lol nope.' Such a funny moment. Great touch by the game designers.
7 year old me would freak out if I saw this, all I did was speed-ran the game but always stopped mid-way through. This made my day. 😢 Nintendo make "DK Returns" on switch please im beging you guys!!!! Like if you agree.
It’s always a treat to see the TAS person goofing off during sections that can’t be sped up. For example, cutting rocket barrel levels way too close and getting no bananas during Tiki Tong Terror.
Currently running through Mirror Mode for the first time with DKCR speedruns in the background. Jesus christ what did I witness in 8-5 and 6 I feel put to shame dude LOL Very entertaining video, and excellent TAS! :)
I find the momentum in this game really addictive, just slightly better than tropical freeze. It looks extremely fun to run. Really hoping we get a remaster of this game soon with proper button controls.
@WeegeeDX Hopefully, it contains both button & motion controls so people who prefer one or the other will both be happy. Then, it'll be the definitive version of the game.
After all these years I came back to this game to play it a little bit but then I see this holy shit this is absolutely insane, this gameplay is on another level!
I played this game with a friend for the first time in years and for some reason I found it really difficult and I wondering how 7 year old me was doing this game no problem 😭
13 yo me played thos game from start to finish at 200% twice and watching this TAS just made me realize how gorgeously well made this game is and how it still looks good for being a Wii game, with tons of colors, animations, details, backgrounds, deco, etc.
1:00:18 have you ever wondered why there was a silhouette of a man boxing on the left? Me too it's not the only recognisable face we see Mr game and watch too
Dk, feeling levels of anger never before thought possible, channeled that into speed and destroyed the tikis into about an hour of their rule, reclaming the bananas.
One of the best games of all time. I was confused as to why the first boss wasn't included (I was skipping through to find it) but then I realized it was literally like a 20 second fight. TAS are crazy.
Would it be possible to do a Four Medals% TAS? This would mean collecting every KONG letter in every level, collecting every puzzle piece, beating all levels again in Mirror Mode, and completing all levels again with a Gold Medal in each one during Time Attack. It was speculated that for a human the run would be 10 hours, but I’m not sure for a TAS. Would be fun to see.
Mole boss comes up Me: ehh this might be kinda slow, the cart takes a while to catch the train *TAS does in a few seconds with crazy jumps* Me: I…I’ve been doing this boss wrong my whole life…
Have you heard the news? Donkey kong country returns is returning again! In hd this time! Since i never played the original dkcr or dkcr3, i personally am interested in it.
46:37 I dont know if this is known now but there is a faster way to get through the barrel part without having to land on the spikes at the top. You can roll under the first barrel and jump mid air between the barrels as you are going to fall. You should land in the second barrel.
If you land in the 2nd barrel, you’ll have to wait until the enemy with the blades past by into which (I’m sure) wasted frames. Then you’d have to wait to roll again after landing on the ground for a few seconds. You can definitely do this in speedruns tho since you could risk everything doing what TAS did.
@@technoworld964 Puzzle pieces are not apart of the main 100% or 200% category as they only just stock up your gallery. In order to get 200% is through mirror mode. IDK why puzzle pieces aren’t apart of the percentages but it is what it is with that. This category is any% which is the fastest way to beat the game and not focus on those things in it like Puzzles pieces and KONG letters and mirror mode.
Man i miss this game. Pretty sure my only copy of it, (one i used to play at my grandmas like every time i was over) burned up in a house fire. Suppose it was time to move on
@@KananIsMyBae Welp... tbh, no. But the fire isn't the reason. My grandpa died of cancer this year and I got to watch his slow descent. Now my dad has tumors in the brain and has been shot as well. No I'm not kidding... oh. And I'm also having lotsa migraines and back pains. If you think it's false and I am lying, just know it's true because it's rhyming. I am entirely serious though. This sucks
Man them tikis really had no time to regret their decision with the break neck speed at which this rabies infested gorilla charged at them Jokes aside, the movement looks so sick, its making me want to dip my toes into speedrunning the game!

Nah
So you didn't even do the full speedrun?
@@TheLastDrPhil No. Our PC during this time was very old so it crashed and corrupted on world 8 which lost all of our progress on world 7 in which my brother and I decided to give up at that point.
However well speedrunned, but the problem keeps being you'll have to go back on those levels to collect KONG & unlock those special levels
@@technoworld964 😉

My man was really being the level so fast I couldn’t even enjoy the music 😢.
In what world
At least we get to jam out to the rocket barrel mixes as much as a normal playthrough
We barely even got to that classic piano swell of DK Island Swing in the first level.
It was my pleasure to be able to contribute to this amazing TAS. I hope you enjoyed it.
Very good job, 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻its perfect im proud because its m'y favorite game
você tem a admiração de um brasileiro, é lindo ver você jogar
It's really cool to see a TAS for Returns. Such an underrated gem in the Donkey Kong series and an even more underrated speed game. Great work!
How bout dk64
How about dktf

is the jump off the button at 22:23 considered a glitch?
@@snowob Eh, not really a glitch, but more of a collision mistake

So that’s how I do the time trials.
Makes me want to try them now

Such a funny moment. Great touch by the game designers.
Whats better is that the level you play foreshadows the roadblock because everything in the level is crumbling around you. Its a nice touch
DKCR had some intense thrills and all the destruction DK has caused. Even more fun seeing the TAS version! 👍
Love this game.
7 year old me would freak out if I saw this, all I did was speed-ran the game but always stopped mid-way through. This made my day. 😢

Donkey Kong was one of my favorite games growing up. Nice to see this TAS of it

3ds remake with button controls & an additional world?
@@Mr.Q_Dudehow about a Switch port with all of the 3DS exclusive content?
@WeegeeDX Hopefully, it contains both button & motion controls so people who prefer one or the other will both be happy. Then, it'll be the definitive version of the game.
This TAS beats every 2 worlds in under 20 minutes, what a legend.
I beat the first world in 9 minutes on my 3ds I timed myself
@@gamerboy-pt7nw video?
i love the small flexes that are added in they are funny
F-finally, you're back baby!!!!. Welcome back. And it's a nice TAS, so far.

Nice job for Donkey Kong Country Returns.
1:00:18 have you ever wondered why there was a silhouette of a man boxing on the left? Me too
it's not the only recognisable face we see Mr game and watch too
Yeah right!? Why is that??
Maybe little Mac from punch out?
1:23:18 I like that there isn't a banana collected in the entire section
Damn, it took me soo long to finish this game back in the days. And this guy does it like its nothing

37:47 for Diddy Kong’s sudden yelp of agony
Idk how many times I’ve watched this speed run
Man, 2-5 and 2-7 were always my favorite levels as a kid. Because I couldn't beat world 4 lol so I kept replaying the levels I liked the most
This is how parents intends with 1hr gaming a day
You're back, Sir.
laws of physics: *exist*
kongs: "lol"
Congrats for the publication.
I read your comment before, and soon I will provide a 100% of this run and submit it to TASvideos as well. Thank you.
No prob. I was scared because of "200%"...
Bro was really TAS-flexing on us in the third beach level 😂

@@AzureLikeSky It is. 100% at least now that we look at it today. So many improvements were found since this was published
How tight was the cycle skip at 17:36? That left me shook.
Also what's the reason for the delayed punch at 1:12:59? Would that not be a timeloss?
@@Jellopuff_TAS The reason why is that i never noticed 😅
@@Jellopuff_TASI think the run ends after he kills tiki tong or whatever that weird name is
