Thanks. The deaths in these videos are actually intentional. When you die it gives you full health which can help, but on other levels with check points the clock will not restart until about 2 seconds after you re-spawn so you can gain time by dying right after a checkpoint and then getting further than you were before the clock starts counting again (mostly rocket barrel stages).
@@shugabrush3671 it’s so you don’t have to wait for the enemy. If you don’t plan on taking damage afterwards, why wait for an enemy when you can just damage boost through them.
No, these were all done on my nintendo wii with the nunchuck and wii-remote. I beat only guy I ever saw doing TAS for this game on many of the stages. I spent a lot of time on these runs.
Shuga bush no i think it’s cool that shiny gold is so hard, it makes it so it’s more rewarding to get it, regular gold is for people that want to get good rating without really playing it flawlessly, while shiny gold is when you actually want it to feel like a speedrun, which is great imo
No, they don't matter. All you need for 200% is the KONG letters on each stage and beating all of the K levels as well as mirror mode. Puzzle pieces don't count towards percentage either, they just unlock the art gallery and other extras.
This is just sick.... Well done, dude... I thought about going for all the gold medals after completing 200% right now... but after watching this vid I will consider the game beaten and let it be ^^
Chrizzly Bear It will let you appreciate the level design so much more if you do the speedruns. I'm just one shiny gold away in Tropical Freeze and the journey to get there was pretty awesome (sometimes frustratingly hard though).
@@douglas4934 Just so you know, packattack is much faster than even needed for a shiny gold. You don't quite need that level of optimization. Currently I have 55 shiny done, 12 gold and 6 silver. A hard journey but a rewarding one, I'm excited for TF.
I always liked to shake the nunchuck because then you can more accurately press 'A' to jump when needed. It feels strange at first, but once you get used to it, it's much easier I think. Sometimes when my left arm would get really tired, I'd shake the wii-remote though.
You did a really great job on doing all these speedruns! "Nearly all of these times are the current World Record." Which ones aren't? Never thought there's someone who could beat you :P
@@DinnerForkTongue he means that instead of giving you the option of reloading the timer from the beggining, it just keeps going. Thus, you have to watch the death screen AND the loading screen, which gets very tedious after a while.
@@undergalaxy775 The thing is, most of the time you're able to start the level over before dying(if you're falling into a bottomless pit). So, most of the time it doesn't change that much compare to Tropical freeze, but the few times it does, it really pisses you off.
Well, I’ve done that stage, Feather Fiend, and still managed to get a gold on it. The only bosses I can’t do are Mangoruby Run and Tiki Tong Terror. The reasons are that Mangoruby Run forces you to have ONE MINUTE TO GET A GOLD! And for Tiki Tong...the rocket barrel and the actual fight.
I'm not a competitive speed runner but I decided to play the game again and your video helped me get all the shiny gold medals, I got close to beating some of your times, and I did manage to beat one which was Longshot Launch but by only 00.03 seconds (49.97). I wish I recorded it.
Read the description. I agree with the waggle controls. It's much harder to get the rolling down on the 3DS. Plus, the hitbox is different too, which doesn't help
This is insane, you've inspired me to go back to this game and try and get the rest of the shiny golds 8-B can do one though, that time attack is ridiculous. Hours of attempts hoping the boss won't do any of those stupid fire attacks, meaning you can't even get the regular gold
Tiki Tong is pure bullshit luck. Back when I made it, more than two years ago(way before I decided I wanted to get every shiny), I spent about one hour where I was unable to get even a bronze medal, then suddendly I had the best pattern ever and got one of my first shiny gold medals in the game.
Just watching this gives me an anxiety attack. I'm currently playing it on the 3DS and was proud to get a few Golds. Once I heard there were Shiny Golds I was tempted to just stop trying all together. I couldn't imagine using the waggle controls for most of this game, but now I'm curious to try it.
Tbh, getting shiny gold on Feathered Fiend is more based on luck rather than skill (although skill is still required) since you can't decide on when you want to hit him. The game decides for you when you can and can't
Time attack is the most difficult to play in this game for me. I already finished all levels, got all puzzle pieces and KONG letters, including the mirror mode and finish mirror mode aswell, and by the way, I'm playing this in Original mode. I really wish I was that great in time attack, so that I can complete all the badges in my game [puzzle piece, mirror mode KONG, mirror mode, and time attack(the one I don't have)].
Somente vendo seu vídeos acreditei que seria possível obter as Shiny Gold Medal Runs. Desde então comecei a treinar, porém sempre as consigo com no máximo dois segundos abaixo do tempo. Only by seeing his videos did I believe that it would be possible to obtain the Shiny Gold Medal Runs. Since then I started to train, but I always get them with a maximum of two seconds below the time.
Breanne Neal It's not a glitch. I just managed to continue playing while off screen. I guess it's a bit glitchy that the camera doesn't follow DK right away. It's a really small 2 or 3 frame window to make the correct jumps.
I remember how years ago i succesfully put the shiny gold medal symbol on my DKCR wii file And its all thanks to you man That being said Man the times for these are ludicrous as fuck I mean you dont need to be a WR holder to get them BUT you NEED to know ALL their tactics to come close to grab the medal on a slither... ...Still awesome guide dude!
18 shiny gold medal to go for me! I'm missing 1-B, 2-1, 2-7, 2-K, 3-2, 3-5, 4-K, 5-4(ahh!), 5-K, 6-1, 6-B, 7-5, 7-6, 8-1, 8-4(this is embarassing), 8-7, 8-K, Golden temple. 6 of them are still silver medals. So more than 75% done. Edit one day after:16 to go.
@Maru Yes and no. I have 1-B left, but I think I'm just gonna give up on that, it's too difficult for me. itCurrently, I'm busy trying to get the shiny gold medals without damage(since you get a heart symbol for that) in tropical freeze.
I'm doing right Now every shiny gold medal with my strats and so far with no problem but it's nothing compared with your ones, i'm always like 5 or 6 second away😅❤
I'm already done with the first three worlds of Dkcr3D, but don't know if i should also do the time attacks for the other worlds as well... too scared :D
Can we all agree that Tiki Tong Terror is absolute bullshit? Half the time he NEVER comes down in his 3rd phase, and you're already pressed for time from jump!
Oh, I remember making this comment. Well, turns out that Cog Job was not even close to the last thing I did. Mugly is the last thing left, so I was right there.
