Donkey Kong 64 101% Walkthrough - Part 16 - Crystal Caves

[@nathanbyberg]

Tiny Kong is so fun to watch. I love the pony tail twirl. The best skill in the game for her IMO. The designer were really smart to come up with that one!

[@libraryham]

One of the 1st things I do when I play this level is to take out that giant Kremling making all the stalictites fall down. After that, I can enjoy the music and gameplay without it getting interrupted every 30 seconds by the falling rocks and foreboding misic.

[@TanderXS]

Yep, me too!

[@markmaasch5209]

I love that crystal cave music theme & that crystal cave cannon music.

[@aziztarghibakkali9596]

me too and how about rotating hut? that’s my favourite theme

[@matthewbuckley7757]

This is one of my favorite levels in the game, The atmosphere and music in it is so beautiful. This game along with Banjo Kazooie and Tooie is one of Grant Kirkhope's best music in my opinion.

[@pranavrao6370]

I want someone to make the barrel cannon music for Frantic Factory

[@fatboi1000]

What's missing in the igloo spike part is DK's Invulnerability Barrel.

[@nintendorakyamato1859]

I hate the impossible race😭😭 That scarab has taken some steroids

[@watergirl929]

I wish I could just squish him.

[@nintendorakyamato1859]

Yeah squish him under your foot

[@DennisBillington]

Lanky has to return to Fungi Forest to have a rematch with the Rabbit.

[@movinitlikedat45]

DK's part of the igloo is SO INFURIATING.

[@robbm.cupich2120]

Andy Smith yeah, those damn rocks falling every minute, and is like a maze all caves

[@ilikecurry2345]

Robb M. Cupich No, he's talking about the MOVING MAZE.

[@TanderXS]

I think "the guy in the video" would be me, LOL! Concentrate on converting his buttons other than converting "blank" ones. Other tip would be to press "Z" a soon as you can; there's no need to smash 'em so hard, don't you think ;)?

[@TanderXS]

Yeah! Some challenges can be a real pain in the back for keyboard players. I won the entire game a long time ago in an emulator with keyboard before recording this walkthrough.

[@blixer8688]

Ikr

[@nikhilmurthy7096]

1:13:33 The moment that Giant Kosha slammed his club down before dying a few seconds later, the stalactites started falling one last time along with the music that accompanies it.

[@RebelGodessRed90]

37:43-37:50 Lanky lost a friend, their friendship will never be the same again! Lol. Who does that, if it wasn’t for Lanky, the snow bug or whatever he is would be miserable and bored! 😂

[@zoewheeler3927]

He wanted to be friends, but then was salty when he lost.

[@samanthacoutts4678]

The ice creature acted like a sore loser.

[@watergirl929]

Yup what a sore loser! When you lose he says (Woohoo I like this game can we play again please!) one time I lost on purpose like 4 times then won lol winning 4 times in a row then losing and being that salty to end a friendship? Lol what a horrible friend! Also It looks like an ice version of those tomatos Fungi forest. 🍅

[@stolasthegreatprince4166]

Damn, Candy is the best. She lets you grab one of her melons and then she increases the energy of your instrument 😎

[@DragonWarrior7771]

haha I see what you did there

[@SebastianMartinez460]

If you kill the giant Kosha it won't cause any more falling rocks.

[@ilikecurry2345]

9:22 SPLAT!

[@shnagashnaga3831]

Fun fact. Back when I was little and that giant Kosha would make the rocks fall. That music would always scare me as a child.

It still makes me uncomfortable

[@nintendorakyamato1859]

1:59 Earthquake!!! Look out!!

[@sgtjohnson]

First walk in to the level: “Ahh this is nice and relaxing” The Kosha starts moving: “what fresh hell is this?!?”

[@mayrres2000]

Damn this race ! Damn it to hell!! :(

[@watergirl929]

Oh yeah took a million times to beat it!

[@kevinsephiroth]

01:05:00 that part was so freaking tough as a kid, especially since the camera would turn around when you rotate and your movement with the stick is based upon the camera direction... Jeez

[@nathanbyberg]

Crystal Cave is such a well designed level, but can be very disorienting if you don’t know what you’re doing or where you going! You handled this level like a pro! I can’t tell how much I got lost in here! Great job dude!

[@TanderXS]

Thanks!

[@nathanbyberg]

TanderXS: 👍

[@samanthacoutts4678]

Crystal Caves reminds me of Freezeezy Peak and Hailfire Peaks: they all have igloos (Crystal Caves has the 5-door igloo and Freezeezy Peak and Hailfire Peaks both have Boggy's igloo (Boggy and his family moved from Freezeezy Peak to Hailfire Peaks between Banjo-Kazooie and Banjo-Tooie)).

[@ryantreadway9971]

I finally finished Diddy's lower cabin. And Klump's death animation didn't finish in time. And it didn't give me the stupid banana. And I still have to do the Lanky race. And DK's igloo. That's it. I'm done. Never playing again.

@DougVale dude I need therapy to recover myself after trying all of these SEVERAL times

[@sameash3153]

*laughs in 101% completion*

[@zoewheeler3927]

May I offer a suggestion about Diddy's lower part of the cabin? Make sure to have at least 10-12 seconds left on the clock when you get to the Klumps. That's usually plenty of time for them to finish dying.

[@Alexs23743]

Everything wrong with this level in 15 minutes or less: *The giant Kosha *DK's igloo room, where you lose a WHOLE MELON for touching a rotating spiked ice wall. >As shown starting at 15:15, Kroc's back. In Diddy's igloo room as well as Chunky's room in the lodge (which involves spotlights), he can instakill you after just 1 second. *-DARTS-** GET OUT!!!* , indeed! -_-; *That damn beetle. I bet the fuzzy jump cut we see at 39:02 takes out, like, 50 failed attempts! >_< *Gnawties this late in the game? *Also, a stinging Zinger near Funky's this late? *Cranky's "proud" of what's essentially Bananaporting, but only for Tiny? *Damn, Cranky sure was savage on Chunky! "Do us a favor and use this one as often as possible!" *DK's first lodge room, the Zinger hive. How Zingers can live in cold caves is beyond me. (They were also found in ice levels in DK Country 1 and 2!) *The lodges near Candy Kong. Worst hotel ever? *In the Wii Virtual Console version, Tiny's Krazy Kong Klamor game is nearly impossible because the methods Nintendo took to fix all the framerate issues in the original opened up a bug that made the lights flicker extremely fast. (A number of playthroughs of that version on KZbin feature "pause buffering", where the player pauses the game before shooting.) *25:00: DK getting Zinger'd right out of the barrel.

Don't understand the logic at 25:30

[@thaik56]

[@Dargonhuman]

There are 12 tiles of 6 colors with some on either wall. You have to match both color tiles by using the 4 rotate switches to turn the room.
