This was a game that could be played by anyone, at any skill level... Yet, only the pros could ever beat both storymodes, normal and mirror modes. Trust me when I say getting ALL of those silver coins are brutal in Mirror Mode. There have been times where I wanted to beat my TV with the N64 controller after how ridiculously hard they got in Mirror Mode. Windmill Plains is a prime example of that.
It was bad enough in regular mode. I never knew each character had different stats - I rocked in hovercraft but couldn't drive the car because I always played Krunch. So car coin challenges were rough
@OMGerBer I'm glad you liked it dude! I also had a really bad week and this cover was not really happening, a lot of things went wrong towards the end. I actually didn't get to see it until it was already up on UA-cam! Pirate Lagoon is my favorite theme from the game but Wizpig had to take last since it's one of the greatest final boss theme's ever.
the transition from Pirate Lagoon to WizPig was great. the visual went from a pleasant peaceful moment relaxing on the beach at sunset to an intense thunderstorm
Back in the N64 days, Nintendo and Rare created some of the greatest games ever, and paired them with some of the greatest soundtracks ever. I'm so glad you're bringing this music back and applying the heavy metal genre to it. It's like a dream come true for me. This stuff motivates me to become better at guitar, as well as take me back to my childhood and remember when games used to be, well, fun I guess. Rock on, my friend. I hope you never stop making these amazing videos.
Darkmoon Caverns totally needs a cover, is the best theme in the game in my opinion. Btw great cover, man, I loved so much this game, it's part of my memories...
Taj's Challenge is so raw and awesome, I watched your vid like 1000 times, out of the current 151k. Please gimme the full version of Taj's Challenge and the Boss Theme
DUDE! I think this has to be my favorite cover of yours yet. DKR is an incredible game with outstanding music. David Wise can do no wrong. I'm having a terrible week right now, but the beginning of this put me in a good mood. Then as soon as I heard Ancient Lake I got so happy! And Pirate Lagoon has long been my favorite song in the game. The "chorus" as I call it (5:02) just puts a smile on my face every time. And the Boss Theme was badass! Excellent, excellent job on this one! Loved it!
In my time travel series, a character from 2008 is on a massive Jetstar Spaceliner to Mars, when a short bumper jingles between two videos on a children’s educational playlist which he recognizes as a simple acoustic version of Diddy Kong Racing’s theme song. A seasoned time traveller accompanying him explains that music from his childhood video games had hit the public domain over a century ago, further pointing that by this year, this song had become Youth Spacefaring Edutainment’s jingle for its nearly 40 years of existence.
This might be a old video but I still listen to it all the time like the Zelda shooting gallery top 2 an most of the views on both haven’t stopped for years
@tristenj1992 It's not rude, but yes I have put on a few. I haven't had time to exercise everyday anymore with work, homelife, and these covers. Hopefully when I make shorter videos I can get back into a better exercise habit. :)
dont know if you still check the comments on the old ones, but dude i discovered your ish about a year ago, and you have revitalized my life and my childhood. keep, fucking, slamming, captain steam-shredder.
So much win. Seriously. Don't beat yourself up about the boss theme - the result was superb. I'd forgotten most of the tracks on this one, but I still occasionally find myself whistling the Wizpig theme fourteen years on from playing the game. I'd forgotten that today was Jules-Upload-Day. I, too, have had a pretty rough day at work. This is just fantastic.
My personal favs are ones like Frosty Village, Walrus Cove and Snowball Valley. However, I love every song in this game and it was a great cover as always. Love the Pirate Lagoon theme BTW.
I completely agree, I played the crap out of this game when I was a kid (and I come back to it every now and then). This was an awesome racing game. Don't get me wrong I liked Mario Kart and all, but every level having an epic soundtrack, and the voice acting of the genie (so funny) made this game for me.
Good work, as always. Kind of bummed you didn't do anything from Future Fun Land (Some of my favorite music in the game) but props for your inclusion of Ancient Lake, the Boss theme, and Hot Top Volcano.
Wow, this one is fucking awesome. Great job man. You're getting better making the songs mix together with every video. Looking forward to the next one.
I like your style, not only do you play pretty well but you also made it interesting to watch. Keep up practicing, how I wish I had the electric guitarr I plan on purchasing sometime in the future here with me right now!
Dude yet another awesome cover, DDKR was a very fun game and the music is was very great. You said you had a rough week but u still managed to pull this one off, kudos to you. The only thing is that i'm not so crazy about the tone you used for this one but the wah and bottleneck really gave it a nice touch, but use an actual slider next time rather than bottle neck ;).
@FamilyJules7X Well, the amount of time you put into these really shows. I'm amazed you're able to do these week after week. Keep up the incredible work man :D
I think the whole character selection screen coulda gotten its own cover, sorta like the click clock woods cover. That would be sick, but perhaps later. Curious to see whats next!

@@T4nkcommander I almost completed the whole game, but I was never able to beat wizpig in the final battle.
Screw any and all hovercraft races
The games made by RARE have such a great music!
Only two words to you understand the greatness of DKR ost: DAVID WISE.
Thiago Martins He is working on the banjo successor ukulele
David Wise *and* Grant Kirkhope! Also Robin Beanland and Eveline Fischer sometimes.
@OMGerBer I'm glad you liked it dude! I also had a really bad week and this cover was not really happening, a lot of things went wrong towards the end.

give us more, this was so fire and there are so many more good diddy kong racing songs!!!
My ears, they secrete many fluids of joy :D
the transition from Pirate Lagoon to WizPig was great. the visual went from a pleasant peaceful moment relaxing on the beach at sunset to an intense thunderstorm
I forgot how tense yet epic the Wizpig music was...
Really made you feel like THIS IS IT, THE FINAL SHOWDOWN
Pirate Lagoon was always my favorite!! So chipper and upbeat
Dude that boss theme and hot top volcano were excellent, i got chills listening to them. Two of my favorite tracks from the game

That boss theme has my eyes watering. So beautiful :')
Darkmoon Caverns totally needs a cover, is the best theme in the game in my opinion. Btw great cover, man, I loved so much this game, it's part of my memories...
Seconded.
OddOneOwt What is the first one? Well another theme that i like so much is the pirate lagoon theme
I cannot imagine the awesomness that was the moment Wizpig's theme started.
Taj's Challenge is so raw and awesome, I watched your vid like 1000 times, out of the current 151k. Please gimme the full version of Taj's Challenge and the Boss Theme
I had no idea you could play a guitar like a xylophone, a fiddle, and a horn.
Or a banjo.
@CheeseMclevitz Oh haha! Oops, forgot to change that last night, I was working on this well into the night.
This entire game needs to be covered by you, the soundtrack is just too great

1.25 speed for FINAL LAP
The boss theme part is siiiiick haha nice one
Dude. Holy shit. This is a major throwback. Fucking Wizpig. WHO ELSE remembers the Giant Wizpig Rockface head in the middle of the central area?
@soiratebro Yeah man, download's in the description. Just be sure to credit me and lemmie know when it goes up! :)
This is the real Guitar Hero
I'm just back almost 10 years later to listen to that epic Wizpig Battle music :)
@sobektus A is definitely the biggest since instruments cost the most out of the list, considering how many I have...

have to come back to this
You should so do a cover of Haunted Woods! :D
Yes pleeeeease! It's my favorite song from DKR!
@LuisOrtegaGuitar I would but I don't make tabs for these. It's all arranged by ear.
@DunklerZebralord Well, I figured I can spike it with it this length and it'd be a little bit more reasonable.
Ancient Lake had some Sonic Adventure 2 vibes and I loved it!
@OttotheOtter97 On the floor, I think I set up pillows to catch them and not shatter.
These videos bring back too many memories of how awesome all these games are. I'm starting to weep a little.
@ZombieSlayerOfDoom I've been slowly adding to it since freshman year of highschool. :)
So much win. Seriously. Don't beat yourself up about the boss theme - the result was superb.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! BEEN ASKING FOR THIS FOR AGES!
And you have not disappointed! :) Amazing work.
How did I not find this way sooner???? Ahh the nostalgia!
Pasan los años y sigo escuchando esta versión y me parece simplemente espectacular. ❤
My personal favs are ones like Frosty Village, Walrus Cove and Snowball Valley.
However, I love every song in this game and it was a great cover as always.
Love the Pirate Lagoon theme BTW.
I'm sorry but Pirate Lagoon always brings a smile to my face. Good show!
I think is about my hundredth time listening to this. Boss theme does it for me every time.
love me a good guitar medley!
@falcolink23 My audio interface is my Pod X3.
I fully do not understand why but hearing these tracks performed in this style makes me ridiculously happy 😊😊😊
I listen to this everyday and it shreds so hard I love it!
underrated as fuck, best soundtrack of all time in a video game
This is just SO AWESOME. This is honestly so good that Nintendo should pay you to make these for remakes.
that last one just brings back the memories of failure trying to fly past that evil, evil pig.
@tibbo87 It's in my Nintendo 64 Medley 2! :)
@djreds It was a toss between Jungle Falls and Ancient Lake, I felt Ancient Lake was a bit more memorable but it was really hard to decide. :)
My favorite song in the game is Darkmoon Caverns, which happens to also be on the credits.
@RevolutionsIX Eventually, I've been really really busy lately, but I'd love to so some. :)
@ImperialFilm1 Yep.
And this was the reason i hit Subscribe.
It's about time Hot Top Volcano (and DKR in general) got the love it deserves.
Keep up the awesome work!
I completely agree, I played the crap out of this game when I was a kid (and I come back to it every now and then). This was an awesome racing game. Don't get me wrong I liked Mario Kart and all, but every level having an epic soundtrack, and the voice acting of the genie (so funny) made this game for me.
Holy Haircut! Looks good, dude.
Sick medley, too! I love all of your stuff, man. Keep up the awesome work!
duuuuuude, you took my childhood and just made sound EPIC!! i love you!!!
Yo if you could redo some of these that would be sick! The boss theme is so bad ass lol
Huge grin on my face the entire time. Amazing!
Good work, as always. Kind of bummed you didn't do anything from Future Fun Land (Some of my favorite music in the game) but props for your inclusion of Ancient Lake, the Boss theme, and Hot Top Volcano.
@smk2
Totally agreed. Snowboard kids got some really sweet songs
Wow, this one is fucking awesome. Great job man. You're getting better making the songs mix together with every video. Looking forward to the next one.
I like your style, not only do you play pretty well but you also made it interesting to watch. Keep up practicing, how I wish I had the electric guitarr I plan on purchasing sometime in the future here with me right now!
Hot Top Volcano is like... awesome. You made my dream come true
For a second, I thought I was watching something other than FamilyJules, then I realized it's just your new hair. Nice cut!
lol at the beer bottle trick
GG man that was epic
the intro and the boss theme are just killer!
Been watching a lot of your videos. You are basically playing the soundtrack to my childhood :D
dude this was one of my favorite games as a kid... AWESOME JOB!!
thank you for a trip down memory road. first game i ever played.....
Awseom job on that one. Diggin the New hair cut. Wish i could make my Fender Squire Strat move as fluid sounding as your guitars do.
Excellent job, very tight man. You're a very talented musician all of ur medley videos are so well done keep em coming!
The beer bottle though lmao. So sick.
5:51 "Shit Happens". Wizpig appeared. Lol
Right after chilling at the Pirate Lagoon. Wizpig just shuts down all fun
i was waiting for the boss challenge theme... i feel gratefull
Omg! U did not... u covered the two best video games of all time!!!!!! YAY!!!!
Dude yet another awesome cover, DDKR was a very fun game and the music is was very great. You said you had a rough week but u still managed to pull this one off, kudos to you. The only thing is that i'm not so crazy about the tone you used for this one but the wah and bottleneck really gave it a nice touch, but use an actual slider next time rather than bottle neck ;).
Gnarly i allways loved playing this game and just siting there listening to this song :P
Love the dropkick murpheys tee
Good job dude. I can only imagine how many times that bottle was thrown at the floor.
That was a headbang down memory lane. Thank you!
Beautiful
so many memories.. i loved this game to death when i was a child
This is honestly one of my favorite covers. Reminds me of playing this with all my friends in elementary school at the daycare.
This is hands down your best medly
Thanks for all these awesome covers, they bring back great memories :)
@FamilyJules7X Well, the amount of time you put into these really shows. I'm amazed you're able to do these week after week. Keep up the incredible work man :D
You made a great work on that beautiful game sountrack, I love the Wizpig Challenge =3
Boss theme was especially amazing
Loved it! Dude great game and great music. The way you did it just made more awesome though. Great job.
This is one of the best mario kart mock ups ever hehe.
Nothing but love. Purely awesome music.
I think the whole character selection screen coulda gotten its own cover, sorta like the click clock woods cover. That would be sick, but perhaps later. Curious to see whats next!
im surprised Jungle Falls didnt make it in here i love ancient lake and pirate lagoon though and sick job with the boss theme
@Vaidizzz123 I think long hair can be pretty cool, but I prefer short on me. Plus I can actually see the fretboard. :)
This is so fucking awesome.
Nicely done! Any love for Greenwood village and haunted woods? Those two were always my favourites.
@77GunsarfuN77 Yes you did, you were the only one who picked up on that. :)
