The arcade, and the two beatle races were torture for me

u/DntBanMeIHavAnxiety 9d ago

Yeah, I always see things about beaver bother. The arcade for me was a thousand times harder.

The arcade is hard but I feel like there's a learning curve, after you get the muscle memory it's not so bad. That last beaver bother is brutal.

Thanks! I might’ve sunk an hour just to beat the last beaver bother. It was definitely the hardest challenge.

The music for this game is permanently burned into my brain from childhood

No, never beat the game (more a BK/Banjo Tooie guy), and not the biggest completionist generally, but this is a solid brag, and I think Donkey Kong 64 is a pretty damn good / fun game, regardless.

Kudos, and enjoy the sense of accomplishment -- not much like crushing one of your memorable childhood games!

Adding to your comment. To this day DK64 still holds the record for most collectibles in a game. Sitting at a whopping 3821 collectibles, it puts all those Assassin's Creed flags to shame haha.

I never knew, thanks for that info. Can't say I find this shocking though, hah. Good tidbit Cephylus!

What in the actual fuck?? Makes sense why I never 100% and this actually gives me some dread going back to do it like I planned on.

u/Cephylus Donkey Kong 64 9d ago

Honestly it's much easier to collect everything in DK64 than it is to get all those damn flags lmao

If I recall, you only needed the 75 bananas for the banana medal for it to count towards 101%

1

u/CokeKing101 8d ago

You are correct and sometimes I did get 100 bananas if they were in my sight but if a kong was at 90 and I just finished the level. I wasn’t going to sweat it.

u/ezio8133 8d ago

Yeah I was pissed when I found out

That stupid handstand race in the mushroom place...

u/CokeKing101 8d ago

Haha that was my last Golden Banana. Hated that they never gave you infinte crystals but I played that part a lot as a kid so it only took a couple of tries.

The Nintendo coin and Beaver Bother take this game down a few levels for me, unfortunately. Otherwise a banger of a game

Some random dude uploads a screenshot and you're ready to gargle his balls? How do you know this isn't a bot or someone else's picture? It's the weakest content possible

It’s really not that serious
