@lailum It's a TAS afterall, as mentioned. And TASes are made buy recording in slowmotion using save states. Everything done in this video can be done on console with some practice. TASes and real time runs are two different categories. If you don't like TASes you can go to Speeddemosarchive instead where the skill is shown.
@DenDhur Also, which I'm unsure if you understood, this is a so called Tool Assisted Speedrun. The runner was recording everything using an emulator in slow motion using save states and rerecords. So there isn't really that much gameplay skill involved. But as said, no cheats were used and everything done in the movie can be done on console in real time.
You can push any of A, B, Y, X or Start for that glitch to work. Note that you have to have only one character on the map screen for it to work. It works on all the four map corners on the first world's map screen.
@SteelFork1 That was a warp glitch he used there. If you press a button, while having only one character on the map screen, where the road bends between the levels, you'll get this warp. It's hard to time and it only works with the earlier revisions of the game.
It's unbelieveable how creative this game is. The overall design, the graphics, the soundtrack, the game mechanics and even a 2 player mode. All this in November 1994... You can really call that a master piece.
Wow I'm impressed,you're really good with Diddy Kong.And you're an amazing player for completing Donkey Kong Country on SNES in a Tool Assisted Speedrun. =D
An incredibly MUSICAL game. So much is based on rhythm and timing, the spinny barrel snow levels being some of the hardest challenges in any game. The underwater levels are accompanied by the some of the most beautiful music ever produced in a game, seductively nostalgic even the first time you heard it. I even remember my late grandfather overhearing me playing the first level and in stiff British commenting "Ah yes, the jungle beat."
For the firebarrels, it will only hurt you when you stand on the middle of the barrel. Jumping through and landing on the side won't kill you. Sides of cannonballs can't kill you, so if you line up perfectly you can survive it.
@M1XART The warp is actually at 00:57. If you press a button where the road bends, you'll get this effect. You must have one monkey and it doesn't work with all revisions of the game.
@TogaManBQ Ignore the fact how long the video is. The run was finished at 24:25, where it says "Movie end". And it's 24:25 because there's a second long logo at the start of the movie. He skipped a lot of levels thanks to a warp glitch. Never says anything to "beat all levels", so this is indeed finishing the game in 24:24.
@Druscaelan Most of the time he's just making a roll and the jumping again in midair, which is meant to be like that in the game. Sometimes he stops the roll in midair (At 15:42 for example), starts a new roll and then jump up. This is probably not intended to be like that, but it works. In Mine Cart Madness, a glitch is done so that you can roll and jump in the air endlessy. The second glitch is a jumproll which happens if you start a roll the same frame as you land on an enemy.
@saiyanwill The first glitch can be done by running into the cart with both characters, no roll or jump. Ride until you hit the Necky, the other monkey will jump out and you can now roll and jump in midair. The second glitch is done by landing on an enemy the very frame (1/60 second) you start a new roll. Quite hard to time. Also note that these won't work on all revisions of the game.
A warp glitch was used. If you have one character on the map screen, you can press a button in the corner between the first two levels to warp to the third world. It requires perfect timing and won't work with all versions of the game.
After the first level he used a warp glitch to reach world three. To do this you simply push a button in the corner between the first two stages, which requires you to have only one characfter on the map screen. The fire only hurt you when you stand on the middle of the barrel. Jumping through won't kill you as well as landing on the side of the pipe. The glitch at 13:00 is dnoe by starting a roll the same frame you land on an enemy. Everything done in this TAS can be done on console.
@edwardwhitsett82 One method of doing it: Have both the Kongs, preferly Donkey in the lead, RUN (no jumping or rolling) into the cart and ride straight forward until you get hit by the necky. Now Diddy will jump out and you'll be able to roll+jump in midair. The second part of the glitch is done by landing on an enemy the same frame as you start a roll. Note that these glitches don't work in all revisions of the game.
@tripleknockout No modding, hacking or such. Only thing is that it is a Tool Assisted Speedrun. Which means it was recorded with an emulator in slow motion with save states and rerecording. But the only thing saved in the emulator movie file is pure input and everything can be done on console.
@Pehc90 This run is aiming to beat the game as fast as possible, using every tricks and glitches known. Which required him to use that warp glitch for obvious reasons. No cheats were used however. And everything done in this TAS can be done on console. If you want to see a run that doesn't skip levels, check the first link the description and find your way to it.
@mogruesome There are several enemies that can't hurt you in the early revisions of the game. The mini neckies for example. They can only kill you with their nuts, you can run through them without taking damage. Queen B can't kill you while she's blinking. You can jump through the fire barrels without getting hurt, as well as standing on the side. They will only kill you if you stand on the middle of the barrel.No cheats were used!
@GoldenPlatinumSTEEL No cheats were used. Queen B can't hurt you while she is blinking. Enemies like the mini neckies can't kill you, only their nuts, in the early versions of the game. And the fire barrels only kill you when you stand on the middle of the barrel.
@itzyourcrayons This is a glitch that you can easily do on your console if you know how to perform it. Here's an explanation: Have both monkeys, preferly Donkey Kong in the lead. Run (no rolling or jumping) into the mine cart. Now, ride the cart until you hit the Necky, again: No jumping. When Donkey dies, Diddy will jump out and you are now able to roll and jump in midair. To perform the second glitch, you need to start a new roll the very moment you land on an enemy, required perfect timing.
@jzwick89 That's either because the enemy can't hit you at that moment (Queen B while she is blinking, all neckies and mini neckies in the game, firebarrels only hit you if you stand in the middle, jumping through won't kill you) or because of bad hitboxes (Many enemies and bosses). No cheat codes or anything were used in this TAS.
@odiumimbues If you have one monkey on the map screen you are able to do a warp glitch by pressing a button in the very corner between the first two levels. The timing is frame perfect and it doesn't work on all versions. The fire from the barrels only hurt you if you stand on the middle of them. Jumping through them won't kill you and you can stand on the side of it.
@megaCyb34 In the early revisions of the game, mini neckies can't kill you, only their nuts can. Where he falls off platforms is probably places where he makes a roll and then jumps up. If you point out a specific location I could explain it for you.
@freight66 The run was using no cheats in the making. You can roll and then jump in the air, it's supposed to be like that. He sometimes falls down and starts a new roll in midair, this is a glitch. This run was recorded with an emulator in slowmotion using save states and rerecording. Everything done in this video can be done on console with some practice. If you want to learn how to do some of the giltches, I'll be happy to tell!
There's a warp glitch there. If you, when having only one character on the map screen, press a button (A, B, X, Y or Start) in one of the four places where the road bends on the map screen (1 frame timing) you can activate the glitch. Not doable with all versions of the game.
@gutmanship You should know that he was playing on an emulator using save states, rerecording and slow motion while playing. No cheats were used and everything done in the video can be done on console. Some enemies can be walked through without getting hurt, such as the mini neckies.
If you press a button in the corner between the first two levels, while having only one character on the map screen, you can warp to world 3. It requires perfect timing and doesn't work on all revisions of the game.
If you press a button in the corner between the first two level (requires one frame perfection), while having only one character on the map screen, you can activate that warp. Note that it won't work with all revisions of the game.
@biglittle1992 Easiest way: Have both monkey, run into the cart using Donkey Kong, no jumping or rolling. Ride the cart until you hit the Necky, no jumping still. When you get hit, Diddy will jump out and you'll now be able to roll and jump in midair. The next glitch is done by landing on an enemy the same frame as you start a roll, which is a bit difficult to do. Note that this does not work with all revisions of the game.
@M4VTCNH2 Yes, he skipped levels. As the point was to beat the game as fast as possible. That's why a warp glitch was used after the first level. And he did use shortcuts within the levels as well, see Slip Slide Ride and Trick Track Treck. You can pass the game by playing all levels and get all bonuses under an hour as well, without any problem. This run is not using any hacking or cheat codes. Everything done in the movie can be repeated on console.
@Pehc90 Yeah, he used a warp glitch. If you have one character on the map screen, you can press a button (A, B, X, Y or Start) when you are in ther corner between the first two levels. This will make you warp to the level Orang-utan Gang in the third world. The timing has to be perfect and it doesn't work with all revisions of the game.
@MusicbyBenjamin The tools are slow motion, save states and rerecording. There are other tools that you can ues, but those are the main ones. Visit the link mentioned in the movie descriptions for more information.
This game doesnt get enough credit one of thr best games i ever played . There should be an award or something for this game is pure genius definetely getting the new one.
i remember my grandfather with all this memories, he died when i was playing DKC1 can u believe it? i was 6 years old and i was playing and in the next room he was lying and he never woke up again, thank you for making me remember him! Bless to everybody! my gdad is alive when i see this again
@Konane47 That is a warp glitch. If you have one character on the map screen, you can press a button where the road bends between the first two levels to warp. The timing has to be perfect (1/60 of a second) and it doesn't work with all revisions of the game. Give it a try! =)
@astutok54 The glitch is done by landing on an enemy the same frame (1/60 second) you start a new roll. It's quite hard to do on console, but it is possible with some practice.
The first jumps he does hits the Gnawty. Then you have to wait until he is halfway down after the highjump before it is possible to hit it again. Then it has to jump twice etc. Jumping/rolling into him before you are able to hit it again has no effect and doesn't slow you down. So no, he didn't miss any jumps and he can't improve the fight without using a suicide strat which wasn't know when this run was made.
@FreEfalliSh It's done by pressing a button when you are in the curve between the two first levels on the map screen. You need to have one character to do it and it doesn't work in all revisions.
@NaNo7R If you walk on the map screen with one character. You can press a button (A, B, X, Y or Start) in the corner between the first two levels to warp to the third world. You'll need perfect timing and it does not work with all revisions of the game.
This game used to be so hard for me T_T. I gave up on it when I was little and when I tried again several years later I still sucked at it. It'd take me days to finish this game even if I knew all these secret shortcuts. Whoever did this can be proud of himself. A lot.
gaming back in the old days was the best! as a kid i never got that far in tmnt, donkey kong, battletoads, and i sucked at street fighter. but i had a whole lot of fun playing them. back then you could go to an arcade and become friends with random kids that joined your game.
@JordMcDrummer Way too many have been wondering about that warp glitch, even though it has been a known glitch since the game came out :D. To do it, you press a button (A, B, X, Y or Start) where the road bends between the first two people. It requires perfect timing, only one character on the map screen and doesn't work with all revisions of the game.
A glitch was used to warp to the third world. It is done by pressing a button in the corner between the first two levels. You must have one character, needs perfect timing and doesn't work with all versions of the game.
I've played this game since I was 5, and I haven't seen like half the secret places this guy uses. This guy is insanely pro with his diddy spin n jumps.
Cool. Obviously no bonus rooms but awesome job. I got the 101% in 58:50. It's easier you know in the first one, because in DK Diddy Kong's Quest you have to win the bonus room to get credit for it. This one, as long as you find it, you can mess it up, except with the one bonus room in Fear Factory. The bonus room with in a bonus room.
@DenDhur He wasn't using any cheats, as a matter of fact. When you roll, you can jump in midair. In Mine Cart Madness he's using a glitch to roll and jump endlessy. The flames only hurt you if you stand on the middle of the barrels, if you stand on the side or jump straight thruogh, they won't kill you. I can explain other stuff too if you would like to know.
To do that, you need to have one character on the map screen and press a button in the corner between the first two levels. It requires perfect timing and does not work with all revisions of the game.
@Kobe24Bryant1324 If you had read the movie description, you would have known that the run was played on an emulator, just as every other Tool Assisted Speedrun. There are no cheats used however. Everytime he runs through an enemy in the run, it is because the simply can't hurt you. Queen B can't kill you while she's blinking, mini neckies don't do damage in the first revisions of the game, fire barrels can be jumped through etc.
@Shiruvia87 If you have on character on the map screen, you can press a button (A, B, X, Y or Start) to do a warp glitch to the third world. The timing has to be perfect and it doesn't work in all revisions of the game.
If you have one character on the map screen, you can press a button in the corner where the road bends, and you'll warp to world 3. This requires perfect timing and doesn't work with all revisions of the game.
@gelocosmic You know that this is a Tool Assisted Speedrun, as explained in the movie description. These kind of runs are not allowed to hack the game and this run didn't do any hacking either.
@MdBruel He can take damage. Some enemies can't kill you though. Such as the mini neckies, only their nuts hurt you. The fire in the fire barrels only hurt you if you stand still on the middle of the barrel and Queen B can't kill you while she is blinking.
@Goldstar127 Easiest method: Run, no rolling or jumping, into the cart with Donkey while having Diddy behind. Ride the cart until you hit the necky, no jumping this time either. Once you get hit, Diddy jumps out and you can now roll+jump in the air. The second gltich is done by landing on an enemy the same frame (1/60 second) you start a roll. These glitches won't work with all revisions.
@Konane47 Great! It can also be done with the three other places in the first world where the road bends. Three of them will take you to different places in Orang-utan Gang, while the last takes you to the end of the second level. There are also other weird warps in the game. One such run can be found on my channel. If you are interested in any other glitches, I'll gladly explain them.
If you have one monkey (Or both in the Funky barrel) and presses a button at the corner between the first two levels (1 frame perfect) you'll activate a warp glitch that takes you to the third world. It's pretty easy to do. Just note that it won't work with the JP versions or the latest (1.2) release of the US version.
He used a warp glitch. By pressing a button in the corner between the first two levels you can warp to the third world. Can only be done with one character and doesn't work with all versions of the game.
@rocknrollporn Have one monkey on the map screen and press a button in the very corner between the first two levels. Does not work with all revisions of the game. If you use Enguarde's attack, you can't be hit for a short amount of time.
@MsCrys1986 He just used a glitch to skip levels, nothing with that in this category. I have explained how it works several times in the comments and there are many places on the internet, as well as youtube, where you can read about. So yes, he finished the game in 24 minutes and 24 seconds in real time, which shows as 00:21 on the in game timer because the timer doesn't run between the stages.
My favorite level always was the first one on the glacier. When the snow picked up to a full on blizzard, and I played it in a warm place, gave me a feeling of comfort inside, idk why.
@mario712145 It was actually 14½ levels and two bosses that were skipped. To this you need to have one monkey, or both in the Funky Barrel. Now you need to press a button where the road bends between the first two levels. The timing has to be perfect. This does not work with all revisions of the game.
@G4m3Wiz4rd He didn't use any cheats. Some things simply can't kill you in the game. In the first revision, all neckies and mini neckies can't kill you, only their nuts can. After you hit Queen B you can jump through her while she is blinking. Only the middle part of the drumb can kill you, most of the sprite won't. This TAS didn't use any cheats at all and everything works the same, and can be done, on console.
If you press a button where the road bends between the first two levels, you'll get that effect. It requires perfect timing and doesn't work with all versions of the game.
@Geodomus It's not a normal speedrun, I never said that. The GAME is normal however, TASes aren't allowed to use a modified game version. Queen B won't hurt you while it is blinking. And you should note about hitboxes in the game (As well as most older games) that they are smaller than the actual sprites. You can touch parts of enemies without getting hurt. You can try these things in case you don't believe me. Or watch real time runs at SpeedDemosArchive to see the same things done.
@Geodomus The game version is just as normal on the emulator as the console, game is unchanged. Everything in the movie can be done on console as well. Even though it wouldn't obviously not look as smooth and perfect. There is a faster run of this game, finished in about 8 minutes with major glitches.
@Berkan92 What you need to do is to have one character on the map screen and press a button when you are at the very corner (Requires perfect timing) to do the warp. It's really easy to do. It doesn't work with the all revisions of the game however.
He activated a glitch in the Mine Cart level that will let you roll and jump as much as you want. And if you start a roll on the same frame you land on enemy, you get the Jumproll glitch where you constantly roll without falling. Levitate back up? That isn't happening anywhere in the run... If you just mean when he rolls off a cliff and jump in midair, that's part of the game.
@SongPlayer03 Run into the cart with Donkey, no rolling. Ride it until you get killed by the first Necky. Diddy will jump out and you can now roll and jump in midair. The next glitch, a so called "jumproll", is done if you land on an enemy the very same frame they start a new roll. Very hard to time. Also note that these glitches won't work with all revisions of the game.
If you have one character on the map screen and presses a button in the corner between the two levels, you can activate the warp. If you try it yourself, you should know that it doesn't work with all versions of the game.
Some enemies can be ran through in the 1.0 version of the game. Such as the Mini Neckies. There is no cheating involved, but if you check the movie description you'l learn that it is a Tool Assisted Speedrun and some info what this is. But everything you see in this run can be done on console.
If you have one character on the map screen, and press a button in the corner between the two levels, you'll activate the warp glitch. It requires perfect timing (You can just mash and get lucky though :D) and it doesn't work with the later versions of the game.
This video is very cool to see, and a pleasure to watch.
no other donkey kong game just can not beat the SNES one there is no way! this game is 100% GOLD
Donkey Kong Country 2.
not all stages
No shit, sherlock.
I've been playing this game for 16 years now. It'll always be my favorite because that game kicked ass then and still does.
Thank You Tim Alakangas.
You waked up my Memories in old times.
@lailum It's a TAS afterall, as mentioned. And TASes are made buy recording in slowmotion using save states. Everything done in this video can be done on console with some practice.

You can push any of A, B, Y, X or Start for that glitch to work. Note that you have to have only one character on the map screen for it to work.
It works on all the four map corners on the first world's map screen.
The world needs more people like you. Thank you so much for this!! Fooking awesome!
@SteelFork1 That was a warp glitch he used there. If you press a button, while having only one character on the map screen, where the road bends between the levels, you'll get this warp.
It's hard to time and it only works with the earlier revisions of the game.
It's unbelieveable how creative this game is.
The overall design, the graphics, the soundtrack, the game mechanics and even a 2 player mode.
All this in November 1994...
You can really call that a master piece.
Wow I'm impressed,you're really good with Diddy Kong.And you're an amazing player for completing Donkey Kong Country on SNES in a Tool Assisted Speedrun. =D

Sides of cannonballs can't kill you, so if you line up perfectly you can survive it.
when i saw the length of the video i did not think i would watch it without a blink of an eye... This was just beautiful/nostalgic
@M1XART The warp is actually at 00:57. If you press a button where the road bends, you'll get this effect. You must have one monkey and it doesn't work with all revisions of the game.

Man...i miss this so much...wow. those are some really risky moves there dude! Good job!! :D
Because that is when the last input for the TAS was made. TAS timing goes from powering on the game until the final input required to beat it.
@Pehc90 This run is aiming to beat the game as fast as possible, using every tricks and glitches known. Which required him to use that warp glitch for obvious reasons. No cheats were used however. And everything done in this TAS can be done on console.

@PurpleLink001 The exact time is actually 24:23.88. Starting from power on until the final input.
this game taught me one of my first english words:
EXIT
and im still reminded of it every time i see an exit sign.
@boostmagic It was intended. There are many places where you have to use that move to grab certain items.

y u were nt falling down nd hw u jump whn there is nothing undeneath
@Pehc90 Yeah, he used a warp glitch. If you have one character on the map screen, you can press a button (A, B, X, Y or Start) when you are in ther corner between the first two levels. This will make you warp to the level Orang-utan Gang in the third world.
The timing has to be perfect and it doesn't work with all revisions of the game.
@MusicbyBenjamin The tools are slow motion, save states and rerecording. There are other tools that you can ues, but those are the main ones.
Visit the link mentioned in the movie descriptions for more information.
Okay the dark cave level was insanely well done by you O_O
This game doesnt get enough credit one of thr best games i ever played . There should be an award or something for this game is pure genius definetely getting the new one.
i remember my grandfather with all this memories, he died when i was playing DKC1 can u believe it? i was 6 years old and i was playing and in the next room he was lying and he never woke up again, thank you for making me remember him! Bless to everybody! my gdad is alive when i see this again
@Konane47 That is a warp glitch. If you have one character on the map screen, you can press a button where the road bends between the first two levels to warp. The timing has to be perfect (1/60 of a second) and it doesn't work with all revisions of the game.
Give it a try! =)
@astutok54 The glitch is done by landing on an enemy the same frame (1/60 second) you start a new roll. It's quite hard to do on console, but it is possible with some practice.
I used to watch this all the time as a kid
@stewardo He was just rolling into Really Gnawty when he landed, which makes you bounce away. No cheats or anything were used in this run.
The first jumps he does hits the Gnawty. Then you have to wait until he is halfway down after the highjump before it is possible to hit it again. Then it has to jump twice etc.
Jumping/rolling into him before you are able to hit it again has no effect and doesn't slow you down.
So no, he didn't miss any jumps and he can't improve the fight without using a suicide strat which wasn't know when this run was made.
@FreEfalliSh It's done by pressing a button when you are in the curve between the two first levels on the map screen. You need to have one character to do it and it doesn't work in all revisions.
You just press a button for it. In later releases of the US version, as well as with all JP versions, you are unable to skip this however.
@NaNo7R If you walk on the map screen with one character. You can press a button (A, B, X, Y or Start) in the corner between the first two levels to warp to the third world.
You'll need perfect timing and it does not work with all revisions of the game.
This game used to be so hard for me T_T. I gave up on it when I was little and when I tried again several years later I still sucked at it. It'd take me days to finish this game even if I knew all these secret shortcuts. Whoever did this can be proud of himself. A lot.
gaming back in the old days was the best! as a kid i never got that far in tmnt, donkey kong, battletoads, and i sucked at street fighter. but i had a whole lot of fun playing them. back then you could go to an arcade and become friends with random kids that joined your game.
@JordMcDrummer Way too many have been wondering about that warp glitch, even though it has been a known glitch since the game came out :D.
To do it, you press a button (A, B, X, Y or Start) where the road bends between the first two people. It requires perfect timing, only one character on the map screen and doesn't work with all revisions of the game.
Hi Mr Not-Having-A-Clue-About-Anything. Nice of you to have read the movie description learning what you have been watching, good job.
@Jooshi13 The hitboxes aren't big enough to atually come in conflict. And when you use Enguard's attack, you can't be damaged for a short while.
A glitch was used to warp to the third world. It is done by pressing a button in the corner between the first two levels. You must have one character, needs perfect timing and doesn't work with all versions of the game.
I've played this game since I was 5, and I haven't seen like half the secret places this guy uses. This guy is insanely pro with his diddy spin n jumps.
Cool. Obviously no bonus rooms but awesome job. I got the 101% in 58:50. It's easier you know in the first one, because in DK Diddy Kong's Quest you have to win the bonus room to get credit for it. This one, as long as you find it, you can mess it up, except with the one bonus room in Fear Factory. The bonus room with in a bonus room.
@DenDhur He wasn't using any cheats, as a matter of fact.
When you roll, you can jump in midair. In Mine Cart Madness he's using a glitch to roll and jump endlessy.
The flames only hurt you if you stand on the middle of the barrels, if you stand on the side or jump straight thruogh, they won't kill you.
I can explain other stuff too if you would like to know.
To do that, you need to have one character on the map screen and press a button in the corner between the first two levels.
It requires perfect timing and does not work with all revisions of the game.
@SongPlayer03 If you start from the checkpoint and roll before landing in the cart, you can roll-jump as many times as you want.
when i was young i played this game for hours. one of the best snes games ever made
A, B, X, Y or Start will work for it. The glitch won't work with all revisions of the game however and you must have one character on the map screen.
@Kobe24Bryant1324 If you had read the movie description, you would have known that the run was played on an emulator, just as every other Tool Assisted Speedrun.
There are no cheats used however. Everytime he runs through an enemy in the run, it is because the simply can't hurt you.
Queen B can't kill you while she's blinking, mini neckies don't do damage in the first revisions of the game, fire barrels can be jumped through etc.
@Shiruvia87 If you have on character on the map screen, you can press a button (A, B, X, Y or Start) to do a warp glitch to the third world. The timing has to be perfect and it doesn't work in all revisions of the game.
If you have one character on the map screen, you can press a button in the corner where the road bends, and you'll warp to world 3.
This requires perfect timing and doesn't work with all revisions of the game.
@gelocosmic You know that this is a Tool Assisted Speedrun, as explained in the movie description. These kind of runs are not allowed to hack the game and this run didn't do any hacking either.
@MdBruel He can take damage. Some enemies can't kill you though. Such as the mini neckies, only their nuts hurt you. The fire in the fire barrels only hurt you if you stand still on the middle of the barrel and Queen B can't kill you while she is blinking.
@Goldstar127 Easiest method: Run, no rolling or jumping, into the cart with Donkey while having Diddy behind. Ride the cart until you hit the necky, no jumping this time either. Once you get hit, Diddy jumps out and you can now roll+jump in the air.
The second gltich is done by landing on an enemy the same frame (1/60 second) you start a roll.
These glitches won't work with all revisions.
@BrkBlade That part wasn't any glitching. He just landed on the tire, started a new roll, jumped, landed on the tire etc.
@Konane47 Great! It can also be done with the three other places in the first world where the road bends. Three of them will take you to different places in Orang-utan Gang, while the last takes you to the end of the second level.
There are also other weird warps in the game. One such run can be found on my channel.
If you are interested in any other glitches, I'll gladly explain them.
It was recorded in slow motion, but it hasn't been sped up above normal running speed.
I loved the music during the swimming levels. So calming.
If you have one monkey (Or both in the Funky barrel) and presses a button at the corner between the first two levels (1 frame perfect) you'll activate a warp glitch that takes you to the third world.
It's pretty easy to do. Just note that it won't work with the JP versions or the latest (1.2) release of the US version.
He used a warp glitch. By pressing a button in the corner between the first two levels you can warp to the third world.
Can only be done with one character and doesn't work with all versions of the game.
@rocknrollporn Have one monkey on the map screen and press a button in the very corner between the first two levels. Does not work with all revisions of the game.
If you use Enguarde's attack, you can't be hit for a short amount of time.
@MsCrys1986 He just used a glitch to skip levels, nothing with that in this category. I have explained how it works several times in the comments and there are many places on the internet, as well as youtube, where you can read about.
So yes, he finished the game in 24 minutes and 24 seconds in real time, which shows as 00:21 on the in game timer because the timer doesn't run between the stages.
This guy is amazing! I miss SNES. The underwater music was beautiful
this may be the coolest video on youtube IMO. most impressive.
@MdBruel The hitboxes aren't as big as the sprites. Diddy can be inside the side of the cannonball without it damaging you.
My favorite level always was the first one on the glacier. When the snow picked up to a full on blizzard, and I played it in a warm place, gave me a feeling of comfort inside, idk why.
@mario712145 It was actually 14½ levels and two bosses that were skipped.
To this you need to have one monkey, or both in the Funky Barrel. Now you need to press a button where the road bends between the first two levels. The timing has to be perfect. This does not work with all revisions of the game.
@G4m3Wiz4rd He didn't use any cheats. Some things simply can't kill you in the game. In the first revision, all neckies and mini neckies can't kill you, only their nuts can.
After you hit Queen B you can jump through her while she is blinking.
Only the middle part of the drumb can kill you, most of the sprite won't.
This TAS didn't use any cheats at all and everything works the same, and can be done, on console.
If you press a button where the road bends between the first two levels, you'll get that effect. It requires perfect timing and doesn't work with all versions of the game.
@Geodomus It's not a normal speedrun, I never said that. The GAME is normal however, TASes aren't allowed to use a modified game version.
Queen B won't hurt you while it is blinking. And you should note about hitboxes in the game (As well as most older games) that they are smaller than the actual sprites. You can touch parts of enemies without getting hurt.
You can try these things in case you don't believe me. Or watch real time runs at SpeedDemosArchive to see the same things done.
@Geodomus The game version is just as normal on the emulator as the console, game is unchanged.
Everything in the movie can be done on console as well. Even though it wouldn't obviously not look as smooth and perfect.
There is a faster run of this game, finished in about 8 minutes with major glitches.
@Berkan92 What you need to do is to have one character on the map screen and press a button when you are at the very corner (Requires perfect timing) to do the warp. It's really easy to do. It doesn't work with the all revisions of the game however.
He activated a glitch in the Mine Cart level that will let you roll and jump as much as you want. And if you start a roll on the same frame you land on enemy, you get the Jumproll glitch where you constantly roll without falling.
Levitate back up? That isn't happening anywhere in the run... If you just mean when he rolls off a cliff and jump in midair, that's part of the game.
@SongPlayer03 Run into the cart with Donkey, no rolling. Ride it until you get killed by the first Necky. Diddy will jump out and you can now roll and jump in midair.
The next glitch, a so called "jumproll", is done if you land on an enemy the very same frame they start a new roll. Very hard to time.
Also note that these glitches won't work with all revisions of the game.
If you have one character on the map screen and presses a button in the corner between the two levels, you can activate the warp.
If you try it yourself, you should know that it doesn't work with all versions of the game.
Some enemies can be ran through in the 1.0 version of the game. Such as the Mini Neckies.
There is no cheating involved, but if you check the movie description you'l learn that it is a Tool Assisted Speedrun and some info what this is. But everything you see in this run can be done on console.
If you have one character on the map screen, and press a button in the corner between the two levels, you'll activate the warp glitch.
It requires perfect timing (You can just mash and get lucky though :D) and it doesn't work with the later versions of the game.
I still think this is cutting edge, and amazing!
