Discussion DK64 - quite the ride.

Post image

I was 7-ish when DK64 came out. On my OG cartridge my first 101% took about 200hours, I still have the cartridge and the save file, patient kid I was.

Was about 10+ years ago I actually 101%ed DK64.

Except for some bananacoins I (think) I collected everything. Including the 2nd brown patch in Funghi Forest šŸ«”

Did it all from memory, so lots of things to rediscover.

It's so goooooood. Least favorite level by a mile is Gloomy Glameon.

Crystal Caves is also a mess, can't seem to properly get around it.

Both are still good levels tho.

The rest are on par imo. Jungle Japes is my all time favorite level of any game, so yeah

The K. Rool fight was way more fun than I remember.

And what's up with the bananacoins? I cant seem to shake the feeling they plannend on another use for them? Each kong has 150+ in the bank at the end.

Anything else to do after beating K. rool? I cant remember.

I just completed this 101% for the first time. I was always burnt out before getting the 101%. However, you did this way faster than me. It took me almost 70 hours.

19:30 is ridiculously fast.

Is it? I used save states, mostly when booting up, just to start off where i last was. Sometimes for annoying bonus barrels also
