Donkey Kong Country 101% Speedrun - 43 minutes 

Absolutely!

a fiendishly difficult game was DKC

im not interested in doing a speedrun. i'd rather take my time with games i love this much but i gotta ask are the short cuts required for 101%? or is it only the bonus and warps that count?

@@AxlTheScourge only the bonus (not warps required)

Cranky percent

Gecko 1993 Fun fact, the play tester was Isaac Marshall The same guy that infamously voiced Toad in MK64 (US)

I didn't know that! Thanks for the trivia! :D I guess Isaac Marshall was or still is a master gamer who may, or may not have created the art of speedrunning...

@@Gecko1993HogheadIncOfficial Actually I think the art of speedeunning was back in the NES era with Metroid giving you different endings based on how fast you beat the game. But Isaac ir another playtester must've been a god gamer to pull off the cranky challenge.

+Mr Mürk haha I was years! in 98%, playing on my snes looking for this 3% too :P

lolete García Yes! and what with no internet and stuff to look from :)

But the level titles tell you if you have all the secrets or not by there being an exclamation mark next to the title

it was, cranky said you've found absolutely everything

That's still barely anything

Losing minigames is slightly faster than winning them indeed; the fail animation is a bit faster ;)

Enough to let u know that everybody was trolled by nintendo. I'm telling u this because there are secrets like false deaths, shortcuts and useless areas such as "kong banana hoard" which is accessible in the first stage but almost everyone enter in it after completing the game.

It's really nothing compared to Donkey Kong 64. That game is insane to get every collectible on. At least DKC lets you know what stages you've found everything secret on with an exclamation point on the stage select screen, and telegraphs almost every secret room with some kind of clue like an inexplicably positioned barrel, banana arrows, or a corner of the warp barrel visible on-screen. A teleological mind will find most of them eventually, frustrating as it is.

@@TheHiroBlade dk64 was a collectithon, this is a platformer, and honestly dk64 had some terrible design choices, I loved the game, but there was so much that should have been done better so we weren't playing the same stages at least 5 times just to get everything.

@@TheHiroBlade I remember 1 barrel took me and my brother months to find because of the massive boarders on our ancient television obscured the clue!

@@alexjohnward That reminds me of my of something similar: I I loved Warcraft 2 as a child, and played the shit out of it when we got our first PC. (probably mid 90s) I ran into problems on I think the 4th level of the game because the tile set was really dark. (it took place in a corrupted area closer to the portal) The game itself was still really easy, but I needed to find oil to build ships, as the enemy on that stage was across the sea. The problem? I couldn't see the oil; like at all. I knew that there were oil deposits on the sea, because I had collected oil in earlier levels to build ships. But the sea on this tileset was darker, and I couldn't distinguish between oil and water. Every. Single. Stage. that was set on that tileset involved me sending ships into the sea, and just clicking around in their wake, hoping to select oil deposits. It got to the point where I memorized oil locations on the different stages, so I knew were to go when I replayed it. And it wasn't until years latter that I realized that this hadn't been a deliberate mechanic. Turns out I just had a Really old, tiny, crappy monitor, set up in the brightly lit living room, that had crappy, really dark backlighting.

No, they aren't. Only the secret bonus games count towards the completion percentage.

tEm paY fo c0olEg!!1 I think once you beat a stage you can start select in the stage to exit it instead of completing it again. So they beat it once then went back and got the bonus stages and by pressing start select at the last bonus stage they were able to just quit the stage without having to waste the extra time getting to the end again.

It's not a bug! It's a secret from that level. If you get to that point fast enough and switch to DK, this barrel appears.

It depends on the route. When I have already beaten a level, I can do Start+Select to exit the minigame, but this is not available if the level isn't beaten yet.

Yes, failing the minigames is faster by a very small amount. I haven't tested it myself though...

No, water levels have no secret places (none that count towards the 101% at least). Maybe you are missing the bonus in a bonus at 30:30?

LeHulk1 I did it... thanks for your reply :)

I found it... it was in elevator antics at the end. I had seen it on this video many times, so I thought I had done it... but I hadn’t... finally done! Thanks a lot, it was a very helpful video

Thanks but actually, my run is old and a lot worse than current records. It is 43 minutes with in-game time, which is about 52 minutes in real time. ;)

Oh ok

It includes what is necessary for the game to give you 101%, i.e. all secret bonus rooms. You don't have to get all KONG letters or all the hidden extra lives, for instance.

Starts after selecting game, ends on barrel drop.

final banana*

No its 52:44

That's what I love about these games... It's just a well executed timed pattern.

It's a secret in the game. If you get to this point in the level fast enough and are using Donkey Kong, this warp barrel appears and gets you to the end of the level.

46:32 par Eazinn. Mon run est au dessus des 52 minutes avec la méthode de timing appropriée pour les speedruns de DKC. 43 minutes c'est le temps in-game, mais ça fait longtemps qu'on ne devrait plus utiliser ça pour chronométrer les runs.

LeHulk1 ça reste une sacrée perf, et en regardant la run on voit mal ce qui pourrait s'améliorer ( mis à part la corde bleue). Peut-être un nouveau glitch découvert récemment ?

Il y a des glitchs, oui, et des strats plus évoluées. Il y a des jumprolls infinis (très durs à faire). Mais honnêtement, ce run est vieux, et déjà quand je l'avais fait il y a quatre ans il battait le run de SDA mais pas le record du monde.

It was the snes they were already pushing the console to it's breaking point whith the game. So they may not have had the ability to do that which is sad but we can help by modding the game.

there is a secret level in the secret level

alexjohnward alexjohnward I’ve always done the bonus area in Oil Drum Ally and gone for the smallest prize (single banana) and then got the barrel to smash the door. Problem is, it never lets me play the 2nd bonus room.

@@j-scribble7676 you have to jump into the door to smash it AND enter it without being taken back to the level ... you can't just walk into it; if you do, you will smash it, but the little cutscene will start and take you back to the level. it's weird but it works

Nikola Bulatovic It’s as simple as just jumping into wall with Diddy holding the barrel? Wow. I’ll try that next time, since that’s the only thing I’m doing wrong all these years lol

@@j-scribble7676 yeah, I had some trouble with it too ... it's pretty much done how he does it here in this video, you can see that he jumps before and hits the door while he is in the air
