Donkey Kong 64 by Connor75 in 2:04:09 - Awesome Games Done Quick 2024

you've got a little torch push for you, yeah, so that's the void. to teleport back to the start of the level because we can't pause an exit and luckily there are empty zones everywhere in the game and it's usually not too hard to find one and then get back to the start of the level by just going out of bounds on one of the few walls that you might be able to get through, it's worth noting that yes, there is an empty area outside many walls in this game, so even though we seem simple, we just stayed outside the boundaries of our objective and many places also strategically avoided empty spaces , which can be extremely harmful.

Well, we'll probably have some time for donations here during this bosi shift. Oh, I definitely have some donations for you, so we have $25. from Brad Harmar, who says it's very exciting to be in person at gdq for the first time and I had to donate for one of the best worst

games

ever made, Donkey Kong 64, giving you an oh, but from the front row I think it's another dollar more in the bill that we're, we're looking at a solid defense, we're looking and then we have another $25 from Serene Dragon saying that they're finally here performing for you, they're the best gdq members, that's really good, that was like DK would say, okay, okay, so right here Connor is swimming slowly matching the B. and goes across the shore, it's called Swimming Across the Shores, like this is how we entered Banana Fairy Island early.

The reason we do this is so we can get an early shockwave that allows us to kill a lot of Theats that have blueprints in this game. very

quick

ly, yes, normally only a small entry is allowed here, but like many places in the game, any scammer can access these regions, yes, there's really nothing stopping you as long as you can get out of bounds and through them , but it's worth mentioning that there's a There are a lot of ways to get through a wall in this game that come to mind there's swimming through walls falling through walls walking in phases there's a slant walk um you can go through the collision you can go through a bad collision you can swim across the coasts eh, I am missing some probably because you're going to see all of those and more.

I know. Label Barrel Storage. There's another one right there. There are literally so many ways to get through a wall in this game. Is incredible. It's a very long way of saying there isn't any. The walls in this game really the joke is that the walls are a suggestion, they're actually okay, so we've got another one of those triple frame perfect phase walks coming up. R, do you want to go over the exact entries of what I'm doing? doing here, yes, absolutely, basically what Connor is doing on his controller is there are three particular boxes that allow him to go through this wall.

They look like the first frame is holding down less, a little less than 50% of the magnitude, then. up all the way and then a neutral square now on all of that, the Z button needs to be pressed on the third or fourth square, allowing DK to slide through the wall and this is all timing, first, the first person presses too, that it was really By the way, great phase walking, yeah the thing about phase walking is that it's a trick that you can really boil down to muscle memory, but I think it's also one of those tricks that if you miss it, it can be very nervous and a little difficult. rewrite the ship because it's like it's a very simple input so you can keep trying repeatedly so Connor got one of the blueprints here.

I think we have about 33 shots in this run, balancing out the number. The amount of blueprints and golden bananas you get is quite important in terms of efficiency for dk64, yes, and ideally there are many places where you can turn in blueprints because you have to find sarcasms, but sarcasms are different in each level, they all have a different, like the length of the cutscene that plays depending on the level you turn it in, so ideally we want to turn them in levels where they're not as long on the first try, so as you see, sometimes they're easy on the first try I try and then other times. you just sit there and you can't understand anything that was there, we're going really well, you can't overdo it too much, like navigating these boundaries, it's really difficult because you're working, the camera is actively working against you. most of the time and if you go out at a bad angle it can be very difficult to rewrite where you are going, it is also incredibly difficult to walk in a straight line playing on the Wii U if anyone else has tried playing

games

on the Wii U.

Wii U Virtual Console before , so when it's like that, it could be very simple to just walk straight from where you're out of bounds to the golden banana, but without having any idea which way the camera is facing when it's completely dark, I don't even know. if I'm walking in a straight line, Conor, that's a really weird way to spell, we're doing this puzzle wrong, um, yeah, I didn't know Kong had a silent o in front of him, will this still work if he has an o? First, I guess okay, so we start with the O there to activate the puzzle, so instead of hitting that little face switch at the start of the room, it's faster to just hit a wrong letter, yeah, it's kind of cut scene. where it takes a long time to raise all the platforms, it's even worse on N64 when the leg is cut off in the game cutscenes, so now it's very important that we talk about how to hook the spawn in this game, you can essentially get a golden banana where you stored positionally in a room before the room is loaded, the Golden Banana will be loaded, but not in the room where you may have seen the flashes of the Diddy Golden Banana that Conor got a moment ago here, that was actually when the room was destroyed. room.

Loed you can still see the flashes of the golden banana. I could have grabbed it while the room was on D. We'll see here in a second. You will notice very particular camera movements here so as not to burden the room and this is. Another wall we are going to go through, not even a straight walk, of course, we just went through it. What wall, oh, do we charge? I think it was Diddy before, when he was failing on phase walks, so ideally you should just walk in. the Golden Banana there, but I think I loaded the room at an earlier time, so we have to do this minigame, but luckily it's pretty

quick

, yeah, especially since we're a normal sized T Kong, you're normally supposed to do this room with mini. monkey um obviously we had a bug using the normal model and we were able to easily defeat the enemies that way, yes it is very impressive but many times when a mini monkey is required you can usually leave the room without problems, entering is usually the challenge, so don't worry, we'll have a lot more spawn problems along the way, so there will be more opportunities for more cool tricks like this, so if you don't want to phase walk, here's this really dumb trick called little jump guitar. where you stand up and back up to that corner and get closer and closer to the edge of the wall so you can fall into it, that's the trick that makes me feel like I'm losing my mind when I do it because you'll just simply do a backflip for about 10 minutes and you will only hear a tiny sound, you will still make noise, yes there is a very small space and if you go too far you will just slide off the wall, okay, very nice face clip, as long as you only make one horse tail. turn at a proper angle towards that face, you go through the wall many times, going through the wall is just the culmination of every trick in this game and now the next banana G appears, we are going to hit the gongs and then normally you would carry the rocket of Diddy to the top to grab the golden banana, but I'm going to try to get away from the last gong and land on the top of the tower before the long cutscene starts. really interesting the way oh here I'll let this happen first there we go okay um it's really interesting because again there are so many bordering bananas like there are a lot of routes that would actually go to a completely different area in the same part of Level up and get a banana like Diddy and DK, but with Connor's route, he's going to do this one because it's faster for him, it's faster for him in general and yeah, that's what's really cool about there being no early levels, just between the different modalities.

N64 and Wii U is like the golden bananas route is quite different in many of the levels, there are up to six or seven routes for this category depending on the console you are using and how advanced you want to get with the cheat, yes the other golden bananas you could do in angry Aztec next to the temple for the five Kongs, we call it the Temple of the Five Gates, uh, I time the differences and it comes down to less than 1 second and at that point it's basically personal. preference on which golden bananas you want to get uh and it's worth noting that we made Donkey Kong's boss as Diddy and we're going to make Diddy's boss as

donkey

yeah, there's nothing too fancy about this, you hit him with a barrel three times to so we can make some donations if you absolutely want and I have some great ones.

We have $64 from Alab Cookie which says $64 for dk64. I will increase the donation to $640 total if TS says he loves lanky, oh no charity tudos, you can do it buddy. I love Lanky Kong, come on, I don't know why it was so hard. I wanted to hear that for 6 years. I should have said you were going to donate $640 to charity, oh yeah I should have. Yes, that's really it. about you i have $81 from earfolds says tomorrow Connor 75 and everyone at gdq earfolds here I have been watching live gdq events for 11 years and now you all have brought joy to people around the world and all for a good cause.

I would like to thank the wonderful dk64 speedrunning community. I've never met such a warm, generous and welcoming group of people, and it's great to see the game on a gdq again. I respect everyone who contributed to making the nle route. what's today and all the frames You've saved along the way a lot of love and best of luck for Connor 75. This is going to be a really exciting race. Oh, it was really nice. So here's another way to get out of bounds by being pushed. for the Funky's Hut banana, yes, it's a lot of fun.

I feel like we go out of bounds as often as you, like it loses the magic after a certain point and you're like yeah, there's another one, yeah, there's another one that can't get out. of the limits here, well I think you can, I don't think it will help you much, no, hey, aren't those enemies in the dk64 randomizer? I thought he was a dog, I thought he was doedu, so Dan jumps in there because he saves 5 seconds. Why don't you throw an orange at the banana? You'll see me do that a lot more today and then another thing to mention about a lot of the game clips.

What they were saying is that some things I'm doing are perfect triple frame and incredibly difficult and I wouldn't expect new riders to be able to learn, but a lot of the fails I'm doing are really super easy, like anyone could come back here, jump in the sand and then roll. the slope and you launch, there's really nothing more than rolling down the slope there and you'll go out of bounds. You should try this at home, yeah, that's something you can try at home if you're in If you're damaged, you can roll onto a slope and probably go through everything right now.

This is one of my favorite ways to get through an approaching wall and is combined with a weapon dive where you slide to swim. with your gun, take out your camera, there's also another really cool trick that we're going to do too, yeah, so here's the one I was talking about. I love this one, it holds the height of your water, you get cute and hm, why is it the? gun looking up that's really weird I hope nothing happened right uh H that's oh that's normal I walk like this all the time wait wait can we just give the broadcast a visual representation of this like we have to do like one of these ?

This is normal, right, this is how you do things, not the best way and the best part is that you can go through wrong things in real life if you do The Way We Walk. Actually, don't try it please, so what's happening here is that we've become biased. the character is on his axis and his feet have no collision so a nice slant moon kick is worth mentioning it's harder than it looks because you can lose tilt by jumping and now I know what you're thinking watching him jump . Right now you can jump from actions like long jump or jump from DK by rolling, but if you just press the A button while nothing else is happening, you lose the bias and it's worth mentioning that banjo twoy also has bias tricks, but it's On the contrary, you can jump all you want, but the moment you increase your speed, you lose it, so I think it's funny that it's exactly the opposite, a very good matching game from Connor, yes, fortunately, it's not random in this version of Donkey.

Kong, so I knew which one to pick, thank goodness, wait, you can randomize Donkey Kong 64, how,DK, have you heard about this? It's a randomizer, so again the point of being biased here is to get through any walls like I know it looked like we could. We have gone through any wall before, but now we can go through any wall and the limitations no longer apply to us, so it is very convenient to be biased throughout this entire section to go through each of the walls of this Temple, so he I'm just trying to take the best possible line to get to each of these golden bananas now that he has a bias.

We're coming to the end of the angry Aztecs. Here now some routes return to the Aztecs, but we will not be something I would like. to explain is this dance jump that Connor is about to do oh he won't go to the oh there's a dance jump you can do there using a shockwave to extend your hit box um but here we go it's overridden so that We can return to the initial level and that is the end of Aztec, so now we will hand over our key 2 and go to the next level. Frantic Factory if you want to make some donations during this time absolutely and we have $25 from the trash captain saying greetings from the random Donkey Kong 64 community good luck on Run Conor and a morning for Donkey Kong on Co comment looks a little familiar from somehow tomorrow we also have $5 medals from DJ who says very happy to see dk64 back in the marathon, truly one of the games of all time, I will donate another $5 to see Connor do a backflip during the krule thick phase here for everyone oh banana the backflip is going to be hard with your headphones on I'm going to break something why would I ask you do a backflip that's so weird that's so weird there's like a story there yeah i think the next thing will be that someone is going to donate if they get hit by uh koll at the end how strange because we have another donation of $25 from Connor M, who says: Hi everyone, I've been watching gdq for the last decade and as I diagnosed with stage three cancer in late 2023, gdq has taken on a whole new meaning for me, the amount of appreciation I have for everyone involved has skyrocketed enormously.

Shout out to the runners technical team hosts and my amazing partner Amy for keeping me stable during my treatment. Hey, Connor's been practicing your Chunky backflip during the final fight, of course. Wow, another mention of this backflip that's so weird, is Connor going to like it? a backflip or something I'm excited for this so Connor's about to do a little dance jump here we go so he was able to put Tiny on the saxophone pad there so the squawks would drop the Golden Banana in an area. where the floor value of the Golden Banana is such that you can just dance, jump over it very easily, but the ponytail spins off the ledge and then grabs the banana.

Another route variation worth mentioning is that Connor is getting DK's Bongo GB here before entering. F uh Factory and there are actually a lot of routes that will get this after Factory, so again, it's crazy how many different ways I've seen this game routed on this route. Rather no, I simply forgot the golden mornings. I need to get this. I'm not 15 yet, you'll also notice that Connor adjusts to the pads of the instrument, which is very useful for the squawks to drop the banana directly on him. Something else to quickly mention here is that you can actually go through the wall and glitch around these lockers, but by doing that you leave the levels early, you have to clear it before entering the level, so now I'm going to do a Kinda tricky section here at the start of the factory going out of bounds. and then I'm going to try to open a cage that is attached to a man so that it is tiny out of bounds by walking under it and to know if I have succeeded or not I need the audio signal from Listening to the cage, so yes You guys can be silent for 10 seconds, here we go, we did great and now, this is like a generation problem, where is it, where is it, oh, there it is, we're looking. for the banana shines, I don't trust this is really bad, here we go, come on, I mean it's actually a spawn, it's not loaded yet and now it's loaded, the only reason we can do that is because of the cut . cutscene that plays at the beginning of the level when you first enter it, otherwise the banana is not loaded, it just spawns the production room banana for Diddy for a little later, some of the production room GBS They have timers when you flip the switch, but luckily Diddies doesn't, so we can beat him up and then worry about it later, okay, and now we're going to use Larry here to accomplish his number one purpose: freeing Kong's favorite Kong Chundy. all.

We have a very quick relevant donation if you would like to proceed further. I have $50 from Benach who says stay away from Donkey Kong Chunky is the real leader of the Kong family oh very nice Zinger, Zinger loves to troll so now on to the boss fight for Maad Jack and Given we already did those boss scenes, uh, entrances at the beginning of the race during the intro story glitch, uh, I'm not going to have a cut scene here to see Mad Jack, I'm going to jump right into that, so what? So what Connor is going to try to do here is a set of standardized moves that make magic nine jumps in the first phase, 11 in the second phase, 12 in the third phase, 13 in the fourth and 15 in the fifth phase.

There is a preset number of jumps for Madjack. You might be wondering about the switch locations for Madjack. They can be manipulated based on the position of Madjack and your Kong near the end of each phase. That's basically what is being

done

here. right, sure, one more thing to mention too, the reason Connor moves in a specific way is to make Mad do quick jumps. If you are on the pillar that Mad is jumping to, you will do a slow jump and it will obviously take longer, but if you move to a square, he will not jump to or into his square unless it is the fourth or fifth phase, then he will do a fast jump and obviously it's speedrun, we want to make sure you fast jump as many times as possible. possible, he is definitely one of the most difficult bosses in the game, both casually and in speedrun.

I would say this is the hardest boss, oh yeah I sure could see it so you might see Connor changing his movement a bit because Mad Jack is now starting to focus more on Tiny and just goes straight for her instead to, kinda, chase him in some way, yes, for the first three phases, crazy jumps on Circle to get to Tiny, but in phases four and five he just jumps. He always jumps straight to the small, no circles, those are a little closer than I normally like them to be calculated, that was good in the last phase you will see Connor moving in an hourglass shape here so he can get a good ratio of fast and slow jumps no matter what, in these last two phases you will get some slow jumps, using the Stratocaster, but this is the best way to optimize them.

There is a way to always get quick jumps, but that's how it is. not really good at manipulating the switch so a lot of runners don't do it mhm yeah and the whole time I was counting the crazy jumps to know when he was going to finish his cycles because it's the same number of jumps every time it was a pretty clean fight that was actually Hard Cloud yeah that was really good yeah very difficult boss and now we're going to grab the headphones here because from the main menu it crashes the mode at the beginning we don't.

Unfortunately, start with any instrument ammo, as I mean, we've also been taking regular ammo and crystals throughout the entire tour we've been using and the headphones will come in handy later. Something to keep in mind when using an instrument on an instrument. Bread in the game, the game doesn't care if you have instrument ammo or not, that's why we were able to play instruments on the pads before even though we didn't have anything and that's the cage we opened out of bounds like lasagna. he's not going to play DK arcade he'll just do it maybe he should have played DK arcade now once again we could bring Mini Monkey here but let's make more phase blocks for Connor to make this hit detection dart board really terrible.

I mean, this deserves a medal for how bad the hit detection is, but Conor is absolutely smoking it. Oh, there we go, we sit here, some parts of that board are atrocious. Okay, we came up with a great trick with the lanky Kong Bo. Oops I'll try again oh that's because I said his name uh oh lobster right yeah yeah so there's a trick called barrel storage tag where you take your Kong and trick the game by making him believe the Kong is in the barrel, but in reality, they have fallen out of the barrel, it has some really cool properties that you can take advantage of depending on how you get the tag Barrel storage for the lanky guy, it is placed on a stand that allows him to walk to through the walls. when you are on the Barrel Storage tag, this will actually be a perfect two double frame trick, one for the slide jump link you are going to do and one for the actual start of the orange stop, which will need to be coordinated by tapping the tag to Barrel initially, yes, this is a very difficult trick, it can't be over

done

and it's a deer spawn, so Connor is specifically trying to keep the camera away from the piano playroom.

I'm going to use the GamePad for this because this trick is easier with the gamepad and not the normal N64 controller and I have an audio queue once I understand the trick, which is why people are silent right now; Otherwise, I can't count the latent noises, which is my reference for how far to go. go when he gets it you'll be able to hear him walking around like we're not kidding when we say this is not an easy trick at all yes absolutely if you ever look at a Tas of this game they label barrel storage everywhere.

It was close that was one frame away from HLA HLA very close we think Conor come on you have this guy you have this oh very nice when you hear the noise and he is there he is one frame away from there let's go very calm there we go everyone There's another one right there, he's the spawn issue we were talking about before, so that's the Golden Banana for this piano game that Linky would normally spend quite a bit of time believing or not even more than that couple of minutes I spent getting. The trick is an incredibly long minigame and when you get that trick quickly it saves a ton of time, yeah, so navigate, remember Connor has to navigate out of bounds on that tag screen to get that Golem, that's very, very difficult, though.

Honestly getting the BR tag, storage is the hard part, out of bounds navigation is just holding 19 spindly noises to the left which really isn't that hard and then you do two flips to the left so the hard part is getting that label bar. storage first, unfortunately there is a relatively simple sequence of entries, you can do the same thing every time to reach the golden tomorrow. I often tell spindly noises. I can't even count to 19. It's okay. Donkey Kong, I can only count up to. 16 In the numbers game, the numbers gain used to be in this race, but he was obviously defeated, we have another jump from Dan here, just exploiting our monkey even more.

Here's a cool little trick we're going to do a little bit to achieve this. Golden Banana instead of doing what we're supposed to do, just do a skate jump, an air jump, so the skate jump is cool because you can basically, if you jump and spin at the same time, you'll have a skid, but the game thinks you won. You don't have a jump, so you can do another jump off of it, um, it's a little hard to do, so we'll do it the normal way, well, normal, yeah, that's normal, but I did it. He did it normally when he was a child.

Really, you too. Find that rainbow coin hidden in the mushroom forest when you were a kid, yeah, I don't need proof. I'm just telling you that it's my test. Vibes is a test so I tried to use a certain camera angle when entering the production room here because it's on a loop with these rotating arms so I try to enter with a certain camera angle to load the room at one point determined, so when I warp on Chunky here, the arms will be right in front of him, like this. How cool, they give you so much time for this banana, it's a little ridiculous, 90 seconds or 99, right, 999, the intention is that someone will really make a mistake trying to climb the Golden Banana, but obviously we get to the fourth war before get here.

The first place, well the way I played this game as a kid was I followed my strategy guide and that would be to go through each Kong individually so I would do all the DK Golden Bananas and then I would do all the Diddy's so when I did did. It was thick. I had already done everything I had warp for what your strategy guide said aboutdose H dose anyway we're going to Level six yeah it's time to make some donations. I can give you some donations. We got $250 from Sock J Pangin, who says I have a lot of memories playing this with my dad.

He now he has terminal cancer, so gdq is personal this year. Thanks for everything. Thank you very much for that, we have $50 from Duck who says: Hello everyone duck and lemon, shout out to my number one commenter for finally making this amazing run on agdq, this game is great but where are all the jingos ? you're there, you just can't see them, we have $25 from Nintendo Sarah, who says: good morning, Conor 75, good luck and good job. I can't wait until you get back to dk64 randomizer.org and stop crashing. Much love from the Rando community. 64 bananas, that's funny because the most common YouTube comment I get on all my speedruns is that people are mad at me for failing and they want to see the game played without crashes, crashes are cheats exactly, well luckily on your channel There are all of YouTube. collectibles without glitches, which is like a 7 hour race, it honestly puts me to sleep playing this game for 7 hours without glitches, so I'll do it again, wait, but that race gets the rainbow coin hidden in Funy Forest.

That's how it is. I had to redo it. Which, by the way, was in January 2017. A new Rainbow coin was found in Funai Forest. Yes, no one found it before, not even the people who claim it. In the Twitch chat, it's time for another one. Yes, we have $50 from day one. says dk64 was my entire digital life from age 9 to 10. I'm happy to donate during this block. The number of times I've said oh banana in the produce section is embarrassing. I remember buying this game at a garage sale when I was a kid. and I didn't realize you needed an expansion pack, so I was really glad to get home.

I thought, Oh my God, a Donkey Kong game I'd never seen before. I put it on the N64 and it doesn't work. You have to expand it. man I couldn't at the time but luckily my neighbors found out they needed to give me that and brought it to our house so Crystal Caves is a fun level because there are rocks that are going to fall on us every 20 seconds so I'll try to get through all of them these sections quickly and not be interrupted by the rocks, so first a little incline to get through the walls, yes ddy can have a little incline.

As a gift, there you have it, a little jump here, very nice and just to reiterate about the bias. Jumping without doing some kind of action will take us out of bias, so it's very important here is everyone's favorite cutscene. All hail Kosha, the best. NPC in this game hi kosha hi Kevin hi Kevin I heard the type of settings in the dk64 randomizer now wait a minute randomizer settings wait the randomizer has settings yes of course that's crazy what kind of things can you set well ? I hope this guy isn't a shockwave while I'm up here oh we did good yeah this Kasplat is extremely picky but we need a lanky guy to be able to come here later so hitting that warp shout out to the mall Mad Maze that we don't see. we just passed the barrel on it as well as one of the best music tracks in the game, probably my favorite music track in the game.

It's very difficult for a song that is used twice and now we are going to do one of Golem Dan's longest songs. in the game, the rotating room, so here we're going to hit Kong's faces and snap them together, except hm, I'm not very good at this, you're missing out, you're missing out, dude, you got. to hit that blue one, I think no, no, no, okay, I'm trying, no, maybe the gold one, no, you're supposed to Sim in Slam, buddy, that's not a semian slam, here we go, oh great, that works, so that's the rotation. room no rotation no rotation okay so we've said this enough times but this game has really great walls once again that's something you can do at home do it in the game not in real life.

Yeah, I can't recommend rolling into walls. in real life yeah I don't think we've clarified that so far, I'm really sorry if you hit your head before very cleanly. Cabin with revolving door or dk5, yeah I don't always kill all those with only 10 homing ammo and you have to go pick up the other t on the other side of the room. It's worth noting that homing ammo is something we get again. the main menu moves that we do at the beginning of the race because that's something you have to fully unlock, like uh, Castle, I think, or in this level it's mushrooms, Forest, oh okay, I haven't bought legit stuff in a while time.

At that point there's a strange table of things you can get by watching certain scenes at the beginning during the main menu moves. Okay, if you're ever curious, you can look at the T. Great job, oh, that's a cool Stratocaster. It's a good one. Strat, so he grabbed the banana and then died immediately. It was actually a strategy used in 2019's 101 Tas um, so you're saying Connor is a Tasser, he didn't use a tool ear. I don't know if I can say it legally. So here we can charge the shock wave through the war deck and then release it as soon as we get to this side and there's basically no risk of falling over there doing that Stratocaster.

Well, we're looking at a pretty cool gimmick involving weapon bias, I won't give anything away, uh, I'll say it involves Chunky Kong, although all good things involve Chunky Kong, so, Chunky is a pretty

awesome

man, objectively the best Kong. I don't know about that, I love lanky. this guy has the best vest and you're really going to tell me it's not the Kong vest, yeah okay I like monkeys but he can kremling Tri for mommy, good guy, lifts a rock with relative ease oh. Yeah well Linky has no style or credibility, he has a funny face, but here we are going to take control of this area of ​​Crystal Caves and we will go through a small wall here since we are biased and then hopefully we will jump once .

I order the camera, let's try to jump into the room with this golden banana right here. If you jump too much you will land on the top of the igloo and then you won't be able to hook it and if you jump not far enough. then you land in the water and lose your tilt, so it's a bit of a necessity to land in the right place. I'm not sure if we explained this correctly before, but we saw Chunky get hit by a rock. He did not do it. Conor didn't actually take it. damage that's another side effect of the main menu moves glitch we did before oh here's a really fun clip just jumping to this corner you can slide to the right uh ledge Clips are another type of clip I don't know if we've talked about much, but They are another way to get through a wall.

Imagine okay, we have one more room here in the igloo and then we have the boss. This one you usually have to kill all the enemies that appear here to make a baboon balloon platform here there. so that Lanky floats, but you can just do a backflip without it again, it's not a useful skill and that's another dance jump using height so that the banana is high enough so that if you go towards the ground and then towards the banana, he will. You'll automatically think you're too high and then skip the dance, so here's another example of the level connecting in really interesting ways by swimming through this wall and you can actually get right to the Snides area which is usually closed . by primate punch I think it's there, here we go and uh yeah, some more bananas, yeah, definitely grab a drink for this one, I think we have a second one for uh, for donations, if there's so good, wait, wait, wait, we have some bananas, oh. wait, we have it, I forgot, we have we have the bananas are the donation some money for charity banana oh, that was good oh banana oh banana oh banana oh banana oh banana oh banana oh bananana okay, those are the seven bananas of the Chaos right there we are not done there, although you know who else still has plans to deliver thick.

I guess this cutscene takes forever, maybe a quick donation. What did you just hit sarcastically? I have a quick donation, uh, $10 from Emmy, who says she always wanted to know. Who would win in a fight? Teenager on roller skates or in a car made of solid steel. Let's find that out by getting the car fight incentive funded. Hi Scout and Annie, we only made a little less than $1,500 for that, so you know. not so many bananas oh banana oh banana oh banana oh banana oh banana oh banana oh banana that's $6 more for charity so if you collect 1,500 more blueprints we'll have it easy Are there 1500 more blueprints?

I think so. I played this game a couple of times. and I remember there were a lot of them, so 1500 sounds sounds good, very good, so unfortunately the mushroom forest boss fight had that really cool jump where it ended in about 10 seconds, but this one is a little difficult and it's going to take couple of minutes there's no cool jump, we have to hit the Dow army like four times, so it's definitely a good time for some donations, um, real quick, although definitely note here that we actually have to observe custom of this at the beginning of the game when we were making moves in the main menu.

This is one of the scenes we didn't get to see before, so we couldn't skip this one. Well, you can go ahead with the donations. I have $30 of MD lat QP. I think that's how it is. They say let's get some incentives together, get some bananas and prevent cancer and we're getting more movement in that secret car fight, come on. I think we can easily achieve it at the end of this race. We have $25 from Madhatter. says I'm really excited for the dk64 race it was one of the first games I played so Nostalgia runs deep good luck in the race and let's build some excitement for this amazing event Don we have $5 from Haven Knight 93 who says: "I remember playing this as a kid every day.

I used to run into my room every day when I got home from school, turn on the N64 and play this with my brother. I wonder next time we can do let the crowd sing oh banana when he turns the planes good morning and good luck Connor HK thanks Haven KN we have $50 of oh hi Mark who says he was very happy to be able to see the dk64 speedrun during gdq when Connor went. to Snides to deliver the plans and the couch started singing oh banana my 2 year old daughter joined in and that hasn't stopped good luck for you and all the runners in this year's gdq donation incentive going to the choice of the runner we have $250 of ndh who says oh banana we have $25 of corrosive Frost who says I love me some time agdq I'm so glad they're back, it's amazing how lanky Kong drinks with his monkey paws.

We need more of that in broadcasting. Okay, someone got a bottle. No, we don't see that during the run because we're not buying elk. moody but usually lanky drinks the potions with his feet oh god we have $250 of toile who says it's a fun game does he have a randomizer? dk64 randomizer random.com I thought it was dk64 randomizer on AOL oh it's an AOL link okay yeah it's really old. I think you have to access AIM instant messenger to access it. I think I still have a textbook disc. in the 90s I wasn't alive then, but I should have a disc of that, yes, you have to put your Wii U on to be able to load it.

Oh, okay, we're learning a lot today, folks, okay, right here, uh, Conor. he's going to come out of the Crystal Caves um and then he's going to try to do a drop phase um on this ledge here very nice very nice look at that another way through a wall so he's doing that to get this Golden Banana right here . which is going to reach the creepy Castle, you can hear the game desperately wants to kill Donkey Kong during that animation, yeah we should probably have a warning for that, sorry chatter, yeah there's only one level left wow so on reality we are.

I'm not going to hand over the keys here because if you hand over key six here, all that happens is Caroll's mouth starts to open and then closes again, so by handing over key 5 earlier we unlock levels six and seven so that We can go straight to crawling. Castle, yeah there's an interesting key twist in Shenanigans, it's not just that key 1 opens level two etc etc, key 2 actually opens levels three and four and then the problem with six and seven too, so ohh my gosh, he made that look so simple. Yes, this is a hard walk phase because if you miss, that gplat shakes you, then you fall into the green goo and die, and you can also get a moment of backwards momentum there and have you enter the green at the right time to arrive.

Creepy guys, I think this happens to be one of my favorite levels. um, it's probably the level where everything is easiest. I like it. Many things are side by side. Many Kongs have their things very close, so they never really. I feel two, two lost. I was going to ask if it's the easiest because it's like two FPS on N64.just like a little GI watch out for the rock oh and literally The last time you see a Kumy unless you're at 101% so Kumy has shot down Krule's ship so now we can get close to him and begin our final fight against Krule, one of the most difficult final bosses of any game I have ever played. because there are five phases in total with each Kong or sorry, there are five phases in total, each phase has a different Kong and obviously krule has a whole boxing arena inside his ship here, like one has seven more bananas, okay.

This boss fight is pretty long, it takes about 11 and A2 minutes, so maybe some donations now, we'll probably do some explaining at the beginning of each phase and then, we can go to donations once we're absolutely done, we have $ 250 from Kovo, who says. oh bana donating to Donkey Kong my favorite childhood memory thank you agdq for making the start of every year special we have $5 from the evil dean who says uh I just want to hear my friend say oh banana one more time first time donor Vigilante I have long loved what you all do and with that we earned more than $660,000.

The strange thing about this fight is that it starts with Donkey Kong and doesn't end with him even though he's the main character of the game, which I think is funny, yeah, so Dony Kong for this phase. I usually like to just jump into the corner because you can actually grab them. A lot of people didn't think you could grab them when I was a kid, so you can just jump into the corner and do this, and eventually the barrels go. for him to appear K will try to get him one of these types of overlays, the cutscene will trigger immediately.

Donkey Kong AKA and I, Hask rules four times this way and it's the same every time there are different cycles of hits, although like in this case. The next cycle it will be three hits, but then for the last one it will be like seven. It seems much simpler than it really is because the timing on the last two hits is very tight. Yes, you have to know it's coming and you can do it. I don't react, yeah, and the good news is that these aren't random or anything, so we can just memorize when they're random.

Can you do it randomly? What is that word? I don't know, it seems like a pretty random word, so Now we have Diddy's face, yeah, and Coll was nice enough to give Diddy a Barrel jetpack here so Diddy can fly shortly and we still have infinite health, so thank god for that during this yes, otherwise Conor would probably have died by now. I'm going to take advantage of these hitboxes here for these lights and I can just shoot through them a little bit, yeah, if you position your gun really well like here, you can shoot them both in one shot, that's cool. mhm um, so this is usually the hardest phase for most players because honestly the jetpack is like really bad controls, but for speed racers it's the fastest phase, and an interesting and fun fact about the jetpack for casual players if you hold down Z. the jetpack will float in place, you don't have to do anything but hold down Z for that, you're welcome by the way, that's something I only discovered because of speedrunning, it's such a vital movement mechanic , yeah, it's really hard to control that rocket barrel, okay, and that's the Diddy phase.

Now we have the most fun phase. Lanky phase where you're dealing fatal blows to Kru by slipping on a banana. Yes, suddenly, Lanky now has the ability to stretch his arms out for a long time. He hasn't been able to do this at any other point in the game, but now in the final boss fight, when you press the B button, he can stretch his arms like DK W says, just for you, he went Super Saiyan, that's why he's super . super lanky, so kru runs around a ring in a set pattern each time, so ideally we play the instrument in very specific places so that where we throw the banana peel is where krule is at the exact moment it's not always line up completely, but You'll sort of get the idea, as long as we're not wrong, which already seems incomplete, but it's pretty clean.

Do I have a quick moment for an announcement? Yes, we're exactly $22.71 away from finding out about Jet Set's secret car fight. Radio Future is so CL it's less than 99% or less than 1% it's driving me crazy can someone please help me with this? So yeah, someone donate all the dollars, please, all the dollars, who is everyone. I just know DK oh everyone it's just oh DK 6 for the randomizer oh that's what you've been trying to tell me all this time oh too bad, too bad now, like DK, how do you feel about randomization? It's cool, you can find Kongs anywhere, you can find moves anywhere, you know 2 3 4 5 6 Okay, now that we get to the Tiny phase, you want the guys to want to do some thanks and then yeah, if you want to cross the way, everyone here has thanks, go ahead, Conor, okay, so yeah.

This race is almost done, we have about 6 minutes left, but the small phases really are an automatic scroll, so I will take this time to thank my commentators, especially for being here, thank you for making the difficult journey. being here with me during this weather, shout out to my entire community for supporting me over the last 9 years of speedrunning, this game is what has kept me going and with the motivation to continue playing this game, shout out to all the speedrunners I learned dk64 de tudos seaox cedus hipster speed frog e- Orbiter us, all the people that I saw when it was newand they are the ones that got me to this point today and I feel honored to have done this friend today and I guess for me a shout out to our foreign friends in Japan seguir and Toyo Mana um I think seguir has the % wi U VC record and Toyo has the nle wi U VC record, so I thank you as a newcomer runner from dk64 randomizer.

I would really like to thank dk64 randomizer and the entire community that has formed in recent years. so robust and um I'm so proud of all the randomizer developers um and I also wanted to shout out to my uh girlfriend uh stinky oh and Sh, I guess since we're on the topic of randomizer, shout out bam lrock the solid defense um almost seagull many contributions yes, a lot of contributions there, okay, a question for you all, have you ever noticed this green stench that is on the floor of the fight here and that is coming from Caroll's toes?

Yes, yes, really. I noticed it for the first time last time. week when Carol's toes smell so much there's a green wave coming out of them, oh my gosh, so speaking of toes, I'll give my thanks too. Sorry, sorry anyway. Shout out to Connor for letting me. being here and being a great friend for the last two years, he's one of the first people I really met in speedrunning, that made me want to continue. He was always very pleasant and fun to talk to and there was no way I would be. both in this chair and just at this event without it, so shout out to Connor and shout out to the rareware speedrun community, it's very big and people work very hard for these games every day.

Banjo Kazooie Xbox recently got a massive jump and was knocked down by another one minute barrier um yeah, shout out to the rare community and shout out to my personal favorite rare community conquer evil fde um that's one of my top speed games and I absolutely love the few people that we have in that community that run it, so shout out to them while we're here in the weird times, yeah, obviously, this phase, this fight is still going for the little face here, we have to go in four times and you have to injure each individual toe, yeah, and it's like you increase by one damage for each toe, so the first one is one shot, the second one is two shots and you know, just use your imagination from there, yeah, and just to point out that Connor is going in first person here, this is a long overdue part. on N64, so this is again, this is what Conor sings, it's kind of a holdover from how I used to play when there was only the N64 version, um, and I understand if you want to do this, Conor too, I'm not sure if you want to. to have oranges or not, this phase makes a lot more sense when you throw oranges at the toes instead of feathers, yes, and for what it's worth, we mentioned the toes. txt there is a text file that the community puts together with the exact places you should stand during each of the toe attacks and it is affectionately known as toes. txt um and it's really fun to ask people if they're okay and as we get into the chunky phase here we have about 2 minutes left and this is the part of the race that I'm apparently famous for doing a backflip here and yeah people want to know the story, it was September 28, 2015, you know the date, I know the date, oh I know this date, you should know the date everyone had the 101% world record of 5 hours, 58 minutes and 1 second and I was on Pace to beat him and get my first world record, however in the last Run entry, instead of doing a primate punch and pressing the B button, I accidentally pressed the a button and then didn't get the world record. has a moment that has lived in infamy and at that moment I felt so sad that I thought I would never get a world record and that was it and that was the end of my sprinting career, but lo and behold, that's when at Pace for about 5 hours and 50 minutes, the current world record is 5 hours and 10 minutes, so it's been a great ride and it's held by our own Conor 75.

Recently, about a year, was it about a year ago? I started incorporating phas walks and got a whole new route that cut it down by about 5 minutes, it was crazy, fun fact when the chunks hit me in the corner, like we said you may not like walking but that can happen yeah , damage if you jump like in a really weird part of the D transformation. Okay, it also happens that you guys get all kinds of goodies, yeah, like I was saying, Chunky can't move while he's in the corner, but you can jump and spin backwards, which I think is really strange. but mm, hey, we had that moment because of that, okay, we'll be here in time when he does the primate final blow, please don't push a.

I'll try not to put pressure on him and do a backflip, he wouldn't do it. Why, oh, whoops, did he turn back and clock G 408 204? That was pretty good considering I was sitting on a barrel of tags for a couple of minutes. Yes, thank you very much. Amazing games made fast by inviting us, this is so much fun and now we start. 10 one for yes, now we start 101 yes, don't move now let's get the rest of the bananas
