Can You Beat Diddy Kong Racing Adventure 2 Only Using Krunch?

[@Justdreamitaly]

I always wondered as a kid if this was actually possible... now unlocking T.T. with Krunch, that will be a sight to behold!

[@davidml8806]

Now that's taking it a bit far The perfection demanded to actually make those times in order to beat him is insane I spent countless hours trying again and again mostly with pipsy and her perfect handling for the car races I honestly don't see it happening with Krunch

[@Justdreamitaly]

@ It’s seems impossible to me too… but so did completing the 2 adventure modes with Krunch. And he did it 😂! I think he left the hint of T.T. at the end for a reason though… Living legend status would be achieved!

[@davidml8806]

@@Justdreamitaly adventure 2 silver coin challenges are definitely a large step up in difficulty from the originals but there's at least a tiny bit of room for error still When it comes to T.T that mf plays to win and takes no prisoners Just 1 mistake on many of the tracks and it's enough to keep you from achieving the time requirement

[@zrswitch8434]

Man I would never ever wish playing as Krunch on my worst enemy, let alone beating the whole game TWICE! my hats off to you!

[@Greg-Storm]

The boy became a man, massive congrats, bud. Beating all T.T trials with, Crunch is something I actually haven't seen before or done so that'd be really interesting. This is quality content.

[@codyvanslyke3244]

My dude! You are god like!!! I’m a TipTup main and have NEVER been able to beat the game with anyone but him. Some people don’t understand just how bad Krunch really is. Adventure 2 with Krunch is astounding. I would’ve thought it impossible, not just for me, but for anyone until you came along.

[@reloadpsi]

What I found most effective for beating silver coins was to spend your first lap focusing on getting a really strong lead. The game has no rubber banding so it lets you sacrifice some of that lead for the more out-the-way coins.

[@MacintoshX5]

I was so curious if you would stick this out because I remember crying at the adventure 2 frosty village coins challenge. Good work! Really enjoyed your videos

[@reloadpsi]

You know that coin that's just straight up behind a house in Frosty Village? The only reason I ever found that was during the post-race thing where the camera shows all the racers driving past random spots, and it happened to point at that coin. I don't know how i would've found it otherwise.

[@ray0ken853]

So I stream all these challenge runs, and I had to cut out maybe an hour of footage JUST from Frosty Village's coin challenge lmaoo

You are a DKR Master, I think I only ever beat Adventure 1 with Tiptup and Pipsy and could never beat Adventure 2 with them, most of it was finding all those silver coins. I had to unlock T.T. in order too finally beat Adventure 2 and didn't even do that for the first time till last year. Keep up the good work

[@pokepress]

I love how the music of this game pairs with a challenge run.

[@DanBottiglieri]

Wheeyyyy my comment got featured in a video! I did know you knew about the green boosts because I saw you made a few of them, but I usually find I have to hit at least 80% of them to beat Wizpig #1. Mind you I just can't use Krunch, he's just so awful. The algorithm actually did boost your video to me, I wasn't previously subscribed nor seen your other videos. That Wizpig #1 in this video was CLEAN! Great job.

[@ray0ken853]

And it's all in good fun, made for a killer intro too! Thanks for commenting and helping be apart of this silly little challenge run history!

[@Hawkguy]

perfect timing. i just finished the first video a few minutes ago!

[@TheJadeFist]

Man I might have to try this one day. For what little it applies to playing with the chunky boy, best advice for the silver coins is to get a route down over all 3 laps, collecting a few in each if they're too far off the main path, that way you can try to maintain a position without screwing your self up too much all at once. How i've always done it, anyways.

[@legreedysqueegee]

The music used in the intro was Air by Bach sped up around 30%, excellent music taste!

[@EarthScienceFun43]

[@seanwechsler6783]

Great video. You inspired me to beat Adventure 1 with Crunch only….now you tempt me again to also try the Adventure 2 challenge. Now can you unlock TT using only Crunch? The ultimate challenge!

[@neoqwerty]

I suddenly am realizing how much of a boon my loose joystick was on my N64 controller, watching this. Krunch was only mildly less responsive than Pipsy on turns, and because I learned the top speed tap cheat his slow acceleration was nothing of note and I just learned to drift and sharpturn everywhere. No wonder everyone else with DKR at my school stared at me like I was a lunatic when I kept saying Krunch is pretty good, I accidentally ignored all his intended cons and just got to enjoy the pros.

~6:51 SAME. Was really glad when I got Fire Mountain quite quickly during my playthrough of Adventure 2 whilst mastering DKR on RetroAchievements recently.

[@fumoffu_l]

I want you to know, watching you do Adventure 1 made me want to try it myself. I decided to try Adventure 2 after that. While Frosty Village and Snowball Valley took me nearly 10 tries each, the rest of the Adventure 2 playthrough felt easier, mostly because I'd finally gotten used to playing as Krunch. I also unlocked TT only using Krunch. That was surprisingly easy. But OH MY GOD Greenwood Village Silver Coins! That took me so long to get. I lost count of the tries. Also I'm glad you agree that it's easier to play Krunch in plane. I also found the hover craft easy. The car is definitely Krunch's worst vehicle. Edit: I got spun around in that Frosty Village cave exactly like that!

I always like how the island exchanged one overlord for another, as indicated in the ending wherein the Wizpig head is replaced by Taj (pbuh).

That’s actually what it’s supposed to look like, in the manual it says when Wizpig took over he destroyed Taj’s statue to claim it as his own, waking up Taj (the islands genie) and separating Pipsy from her home.

[@smashers6971]

And thus Krunch beat Wizpig again and soaked up his victory before the true final boss reared his clock shaped head… Joking aside watching this makes me glad the DS port not only buffed Krunch but removed the Silver Coin challenges from the main campaign. (they’re still in the game technically in the Vs mode but still) Also fun fact: the whole reason Krunch is here despite being a Kremling is because he’s spying on Diddy to see what exactly he’s doing so he can report anything major to K. Rool.

[@remu3509]

There's also the developer's times records that you get during the credits, I don't think I have been able to beat any of those times unless I use T.T. or the A-tapping exploit, those records are incredibly hard to beat.

@@djcat64 the code makes every character about half their normal size, meaning the tracks effectively get a lot wider, which means Krunch has to take turns longer, which will only slow him down more, not to mention the planning in advance that getting the Silver Coins and keeping up the speed will take.

You can definitely unlock T.T without any glitchy nonsense. I've done it. Kids were doing it in the 90s. On my most recent playthrough (you can see on my channel) I beat over half the T.T times, usually first go in under an hour. See the first hour or so of DJ Cat Done Slow: Diddy Kong Racing - Part 4. It just takes experience with the game, mostly about nailing the rainbow boost. That's the key.

[@djcat64]

Doing a Full Diddy Kong Racing playthrough on my channel now if you want to see that. I go into detail about character and story and such while I'm at it in the style of DK Vine Done Slow. I started Adventure 2 with Krunch yesterday. Got about 3 quarters of the way through the game. The playthrough is going as I expected it, most courses are a walk in the park. Its just CERTAIN Silver Coin Challenges. Adventure 2 is harder for a couple of reasons: 1 - You are so used to turning a certain way so you mess up corners a lot. You lose tome going to correct it after you have already slid one way. 2 - They moved the Silver Coins around! Some of them are in ridiculous places on Adventure 2! Its always the car levels. Hardest ones so far are Snowball Valley Crescent Island Frosty Village Thats what I'm finding. Regular Races and even Bosses are mostly a breeze. Tricky was a bit Tricky. Krunch Dominates on Hovercraft and Plane Levels. And Easy Car Levels. Its just the Car Levels with lots of tight corners that get him.
