    One thing I really love about this game is how all of its levels are inspired by the aesthetics of areas in previous DKC entries.
    Jungle Japes (DKC)
    Angry Aztec (DKC)
    Frantic Factory (DKC/DKC3)
    Gloomy Galleon (DKC2)
    Fungi Forest (DKC3)

      disagree, especially looking at the lack of subscriber and view count growth as of the last 10 months, but that doesn't have to be a bad thing.
      if anything it looks like a niche channel that will (and already does seem to have) a small but very dedicated fanbase, and as of the time of writing this i would consider myself to be one of those fans. love it when people dive deep into something they feel very passionate about. passion is what drives the world to change and gives meaning to otherwise meaningless things.

    There’s not actually as many collectibles in this game as people think. Some bananas come in packs of 5, but that only counts as 1 collectible. And the balloons give 10 bananas but again it only counts as 1 collectible.
    If you take all this into account, there’s is a lot less collectibles than the Guiness book says.

    You are right about Diddy being faster. Each Kong has a different speed and power stat.
    From fastest to slowest: Diddy, Tiny, Lanky, DK, & Chunky.
    From weakest to strongest: Tiny, Diddy, Lanky, DK, & Chunky.
    Now, Power doesn't mean too much, as most of the time the enemies go with a single hit or you use an instrament, but it can be useful for the arenas.

    I cant remember who posted the video of it but Galleons mechanical fish becomes borderline impossible if you don't do it BEFORE getting the zoom scope.

    God damn, this is a Grade-A video. DK64 is my favorite game and it’s been that way since forever. Despite me playing this numerous times, this last month was the first time I got that sweet 101%.
    Even though I love this game, it’s definitely nowhere near perfect. In fact, there’s a ton of things I HATE in this game. Gloomy Galleon comes to mind (easily the worst world in the game). Beaver Bother must’ve been designed by satan himself. But the worst thing is the Nintendo coin and how it’s mandatory to beat the game. Having to get that damn coin every time is a total mood killer and to me the biggest miss in this game.
    Either way, the good outweighs the bad for me. Really enjoyed this video. Peace!

    I do have to say this, when i first heard your channel, and I am not kidding, I thought you were my Uncle herman, becasue your voice is identical to his. And yes, he still sounds really young despite him now being about to turn 73 in July. Every time he is on the phone, people don't believe him when he says his age.
    What's even more crazy is he is also a huge fan of DK64 and a lot of rare games.
    Now I'll have to tell my uncle that we found his internet counterpart. You two may be form different generations, but you two are just so alike, from your voices being pretty much identical, to you both being huge DK64 and gaming fans.
    While his fellow people born in 1951 are doing their kind of stuff, Uncle Herman is with us young people playing video games, kicking ass at Mario Party 4, owning at Banjo Kazooie, and playing DK64, Diddy Kong Racing, Luigi's Mansion, and Super Mario Galaxy.
    Hopefully when you are Uncle Herman's age, you'll still be gaming as well.
    So when I say you and UNcle Herman are a lot alike, enough so that when I heard your voice for the first time that I actually thought you were him, I mean it.
    Keep being amazing.

    Saying that DK64 killed the collectathon genre is like saying ET caused the 1983 video game crash. It's just a scapegoat and ignoring a wider problem at hand. DK64 is a flawed game, but it's one that I love. Maybe there is too much stuff to collect. Maybe it hasn't aged well. But that ultimately doesn't matter, because there are so many special memories I hold with this game that I have a hard time separating, and I'll always appreciate that.

    Replaying in 2024 with upscaled textures and loving it. One quality-of-life trick I've implemented is to not turn in any blueprints until I've got them all (this means I make a mental note that I need 4/5 GB per Kong, per world, before moving on). Hopefully this will curb the timesink of the Snide HQ cutscenes.

    I don't think having a quick swap mechanic would be good. Part of the enjoyment of this game for me is doing your "shopping list" of duties as each Kong in the most efficient way possible. But you definitely have to be in the mood to do it that way.

    I remember seeing this being teased on Twitter. And now, here we are! I don't understand the hate of Donkey-Kong 64. Some is justified, but a MAJORITY of influencers have jumped onto some kind of "bandwagon" that was started by Snoman Gaming.
    If you want to know a game that killed the 3D Platformer genre, that dishonor would have to go to Leisure Suit Larry: Box Office Bust. It is everything that COULD have gone wrong with Super Mario Sunshine. Not only did it ACTUALLY kill the 3D Platformer genre that was popularized from the legacy of Super Mario 64 in terms of relevance, but it also destroyed the genre's relevance. Yes, Box Office Bust is the WORST 3D Platformer ever made. Even worse than Bubsy 3D!

I got to the last room of the freaking game, right before the final boss, but I never even got to fight him just because I couldn't beat that stupid arcade game. Something literally required to finish the game should not have been walled off behind an archaic arcade challenge, which should have just been completely optional. Make it part of the 101% or whatever, sure. But not just to fight the final boss.

      Perfect Dark and Half Life are the only good shooters ever made, the rest are just straight up cookie cutter garbage! A lot of these M-rated games are just unappealing as hell. Not all M-rated games are bad nor do I buy that shit that it promotes mass shootings. They are just run of the mill games filled with blood, violence, and swearing, that's it!
      If there was more than just blood and violence, then maybe these M-rated games would be fun. Like there are generally some M-rated games that don't just glorify the blood and violence, they actually tell a story and do have appealing characters. Like I said, there are good M-rated games out there that aren't just about shooting shit and blood. They actually tell a decent story with decent gameplay. I'm just saying 90% of M-rated games are bad because all they do is just focus on the blood and violence, and have characters say the F-word, like it's some malfia flick.

    The Nintendo 64 was a great console, almost as good as the PlayStation and Saturn.

      I love all of those. I need to reacquire a PlayStation and I’ve only played a Saturn at my friends, but people rave about it!

      Oh absolutely amazing however keep doing the Nintendo 64 thing, it’s such an special console with such special memories. No other console was as unique and memorable, please do more content and perhaps more RARE games. I’d personally love to see your take on Diddy Kong Racing 64 but I mustn’t ask for too much.

    1. KILL ALL THE “GHOST 🐊”
    2. Once they all dead 💀, see those purple Golden switches to the left?! PUNCH IN ORDER: LEFT ONE, CENTRE ONE & RIGHT ONE then will trigger a ROCK ALLOWING YOU TO LAY IT ON THE CENTRE STEPSTONE!
    3. Grab that giant rock & drop it at the centre stepstone, then you can finally get that 🍌 to the right(while facing the ROCK SPOT)!

      Yes I did? I don’t remember what you’re referencing it’s possible I just didn’t do it even if it would be helpful. I like DK64 but I didn’t claim to be good 😂
