When the SM64 120 TAS came out in 2012 I thought to myself "I wonder what a DK64 101% TAS would look like" and after over a decade Ballaam has finished what I thought would never happen. Congrats and amazing job Ballaam!
i’ve been following 101% speed runs for a long time and have always wanted a TAS for it. thank you for your time and dedication to the game and the category. ❤

I’ve been waiting for this for a long while. I.. *looks over at Conner* you got some work to do 😂 Fav part is still at 2:54:53. The fact you gotta bring in a rock to get the banana quicker out of bounds was still amusing from your older video.
EDIT: ua-cam.com/video/mnLO9oPnvls/v-deo.html A few people are asking about a commentary VOD, so i figure I'd pin this. We had some issues with the commentary stream, since we used Discord YT share activity and found out during the comms stream that it is pure trash and no-one should ever use it again. 2dos is currently in the process of fixing up the VOD so that its a better end product for UA-cam. Should be live within the coming days and ill add it to the description when it is.
We had some minor technical issues during comms (never using discord YT sharing again). I'm sending stuff over to 2dos so we can fix that for the YT upload
DK64: What are walls? Edition. 😂 Seriously though, this was a phenomenal video. Never did I think I'd seen one of the most notable games of my childhood deconstructed like this. Job well done!
1:39:55 don't know why this picture is taken in the speedrun (maybe to tank the frame rate?) But my first thought was that it was just to disrespect that rabbit which is way funnier to me
It's taken for the purpose of swag. There's no way to speed up the timer, and there's nothing else that's beneficial to the end time of the run in terms of that room to do
I don't even want to think about the amount of work you must have put into this Herculean task. I've always wanted to see a 101% TAS of this game. Thanks man
Finding this just made me day and week now that I can watch it and learn so much more about the game. I can now think about how Rareware might have intentionally played us all leaving some or all these glitches for us to find one day to pass down not knowing the full extent speedrunners would develop and evolve DK64.
This is the one game I can watch get speedran over and over. It's so fascinating to watch just how much this game breaks from even a little nudge, and how that affects progression.
Every time you're in Fungai and I look away for a second because you go through a loading zone or something, I look back and you're not in Fungai anymore.
I wonder if the any% glitch that gives all power ups would speed it up at all? There was a glitch found that would give a slew of upgrades along with all weapon upgrades by using the cutscene menu and that is the glitch I am referencing.
MMM, the glitch you are referring to, is banned in 101%. This is because the game doesn't save Colored Banana or coin flags during MMM, so means that duplication is possible and far too easy to do. Additionally, it was banned as getting all the moves from the mystery bosses goes against the spirit of 101%
This was the first game I owned when I was a child. I distinctly remember getting nauseated from the camera. Maybe that subconsciously formed my dislike of Donkey Kong as an adult lol
In the amount of time it once took for people to clear Any% in a speedrun... we're now seeing times faster that that in 100%. Absolutely bonkers, honestly.
42:15 "What, thou hast anticipated Tiny Kong? Dost thou not know? I am not Ass Kong, forsooth I am Druid Kong. I am DK, not AK. Thou shalt feel my wrath."
@marioman3322 So during TBS, you're usually moving with a locked camera perspective and a black screen, which doesn't make for great viewing. As such, in those moments where something significant is happening, TBS cam shows up which is me redoing that movement, but with an unlocked camera and the black void removed. It's not 1-to-1 with the TAS because the inputs are slightly different and the game lags more with the void removed, but it's only intended to provide context so its fine
Given this took 2 years, and AC would be longer, almost certainly no. AC also kinda removes a lot of the nice timesavers, like rabbit Race Skip and Caves blast Skip. Small banana routing would also be a bit less entertaining as there's no decision about what 25 per kong to skip, or whether it's best to trade some bananas from another kong. I'm happy to help route it, likely not TAS it
There appears to be times where the TBS cam doesn’t show up despite it seeming like TBS was being used. Is that deliberate? I’m currently at the factory section of the video and I have noticed it a couple of times.
So do you still have the save state from the first run and the second and do you think that someone could ever do the work to get it to sync properly? Also, is the issue related to a subframe problem and how controller inputs impact processing time for when the game actually calls the RNG seed function? Like, I kinda think I get why there was the desync with a new computer but also don't.
1) I think I do on my old SSD but it doesn't matter 2) It is possible to resync this, but it's a lot of work and I don't expect anyone to do that work. 3) Yes

7:45 I can't even comprehend what just happened here. But that was awesome
A wise man once said:
"Walls are just a suggestion."
It only takes 1:17 for walls to immediately be dismissed as legitimate barriers in this game
Makes me wonder if the intangible walls on certain multiplayer maps are an in-joke from the developers.
I sure hope they add walls as dlc
DK doesn’t understand physics, so he ignores them

I never thought I’d see another video of dk 64 101% tas again, yet here we are. Glad to see history being remade.
IT'S FINALLY OUT!
Can't wait to watch some funky monkey tricks
This game was created 25 years ago. I think it deserves a remake or a remaster.
Agreed
I'm agreed too

@@Ballaam Any crimes documented for Beaver Bother specifically so far?
I've been speedrunning the game since 2017-2018ish, pretty amazing how many discoveries have been made since then such as phasewalking, awesome run!
Your work on this game is so inspiring and I’m very happy to see the evolution! Keep it up, you are an absolute legend!
I thoroughly enjoyed every bit of this. I still can't believe you decided to improve the hundo lotad and I coulnd't be happier that you did!
Congrats and well done!
This is absolutely mental. Great job.

A lot of clips or videos are quiet when the Diddy fight happens

this route is insane
WOW it got done!! Would love to have full commentary with interesting tidbits!

Wow. I can't decide whether the execution or the routing is more impressive. I have no clue what's going on half the time and I love it. :D
This sudden Chunky jumpscare made me laugh 36:31
WELL DONE!! True gaming accomplishment.

Can someone explain every detail that happened between 0:00 and 3:58:46?
It's complete destruction of a video game.

I thought a TAS would be too much after seeing the LOTAD, incredible stuff! A shame about the resync situation, but either way a work of art!
Now this is going to be a Saturday evening well spent, 4 hours of Donkey Kong 64 destruction!
2:31:00 what is up with the tilted walking stuff? This happens a few times in this TAS...
That's Skew, which allows us to walk through any wall of any angle with ease cause collision doesn't properly function at the base of the kong
Thank you! Skew, that's actually a pretty good name for the effect 😂
Watching him do the kamikaze kremlins it's like the tas bot treats it like a round of smash bros 😂
That spider at 1:02:40 always scared me as a kid xD
This was the first game I owned when I was a child. I distinctly remember getting nauseated from the camera. Maybe that subconsciously formed my dislike of Donkey Kong as an adult lol

What’s happening in the TBS cam? How does it work?

It's not 1-to-1 with the TAS because the inputs are slightly different and the game lags more with the void removed, but it's only intended to provide context so its fine
Now I'm curious how much of a run a good TASer could do while inside the tag Barrel glitch🤔
I know it's a little bit early, but do you have any plans on doing an All Collectibles run?
Given this took 2 years, and AC would be longer, almost certainly no. AC also kinda removes a lot of the nice timesavers, like rabbit Race Skip and Caves blast Skip. Small banana routing would also be a bit less entertaining as there's no decision about what 25 per kong to skip, or whether it's best to trade some bananas from another kong.
I'm happy to help route it, likely not TAS it
I can't wait to see 4 hours of broken physics and OHHHH BANANA!
2:23:39 by the time i beat this as a kid my controller was so sweaty and i had shifted around every part of my couch trying to focus ahhahah
And when the world needed him most he vanished... ayo Bismuth, we need a play by play on how this happened...
Thanks.
There appears to be times where the TBS cam doesn’t show up despite it seeming like TBS was being used. Is that deliberate? I’m currently at the factory section of the video and I have noticed it a couple of times.
I didn't do TBS cam for the sections which are less significant
Wait I could of sworn 101% allowed ISG. I musg be thinking of NLE.
Anyways what a great accomplishment!!! Truly insane stuff watching this
101% has never allowed ISG
@Ballaam OK I'm just making stuff up then lol. Good to know.
I'm completely unused to melons having normal colors
Walls? What're those?
Are you using N64 hardware or an Emulator? I have been watching this video for a while now and turn my old love for DK 64
oh wow this just poped up :O
