Current Events > Forgot how annoying DK64 was lmao

(+) Yeah! (+)

Oh a trail of blue bananas? Guess I gotta go get lanky.

hold up, a duck enemy with yellow hair? Now I have to fucking come back with DK?

jfc. How about we lump the character items in similar locations so Im not back tracking the entire fucking time

---

Its just artificially prolonging the game.

and thats fine. Some of the bonus stages and later stages are really annoying.

---

DK64 sucks. I did not like it at all as a kid.

---

I freaking loved that game as a kid and completed everything in the game

That said, its one of those games I dont think Ill ever revisit because I know Id be let down

i had a 102% save file and my dumbass cousin deleted it years ago.

so Im trying to beat it again . Maybe not 102% but at least beat main game

I both loved and hated DK64 as a kid. The randomly placed Kong-specific items/enemies/switches were enough to make me lose interest near the end of the game.

I watched someone stream part of it somewhat recently (their first time playing it) and there was this one section in fungi forest that really jumped out at me as the perfect example of this + just general laziness with level design. I don't think I can explain it purely in words so here's a little diagram


two rooms connected by a tunnel. the green doors are doors that require chunky to shoot a switch to open. the purple dots are small bananas for tiny.

1) the bananas don't match the doors despite being in between two of them

2) the tunnel is shaped in such a way so you can't see you also need chunky on the other side until you walk through (I sure hope you didn't go back to tiny after opening the first door)

3) whoever placed the bananas clearly wasn't paying attention, or placed them before the gates, since they're all evenly spaced out, but the final one is on the opposite side of the 2nd gate

Exactly the shit I was talking about lmao. Game is such a cluster fuck. I guess you dont notice these things as a kid

---

I never could get into DK64 as a kid. Seemed like too much stuff to do. At least it was when you were just renting it.

---

All that freedom and content was great as a kid, but now it's like a fucking fever dream. An absolute mess.

---

It would be a ton easier with the ability to switch kongs in the menu, but I'm pretty sure that would break the game in a lot of places, like letting you use Tiny's hover ability to get somewhere you have no business being

---

Thatd be insane if someone made a mod so you can co-op and play as all the kongs at once
