Donkey Kong 64 Analysis

It’s funny looking back at my own look back. While technically this is the first video game I ever owned…the game that actually started me playing video games is Sonic the Hedgehog. Just clarifying!

It’s always been my head canon that Dixie taught Diddy to play guitar, since she plays one when she completes a level in Donkey Kong Country 2

[@jiggylookback]

I agree with that head canon

[@zedorian6547]

I also agree with this head canon…although I have to question where is Dixie Kong during the events of this game…maybe she is still in the Northern Kremisphere with Kiddie Kong?

[@samanthamackie1892]

The DK rap is iconic, 20 years later its still a bop

[@jiggylookback]

Agreed

[@ExaltedTilemaker]

When I got my first battle crown as a kid, I was really disappointed that you couldn't wear it. I felt so robbed.

[@jiggylookback]

That would have been an amazing addition. They should have made that a multiplayer thing if you win you get a crown

[@TheMadMadman]

One thing I really love about this game is how all of its levels are inspired by the aesthetics of areas in previous DKC entries. Jungle Japes (DKC) Angry Aztec (DKC) Frantic Factory (DKC/DKC3) Gloomy Galleon (DKC2) Fungi Forest (DKC3) Crystal Caves (DKC) Creepy Castle (DKC2)

[@jiggylookback]

Yes the call backs are amazing!

[@juliegunn2957]

Huh,...I didn't think of these concepts 😮 looking back it makes sense

[@03bgood]

Hideout Helm uses elements from both DKC2 and DKC3.

[@Skylliak]

There’s not actually as many collectibles in this game as people think. Some bananas come in packs of 5, but that only counts as 1 collectible. And the balloons give 10 bananas but again it only counts as 1 collectible. If you take all this into account, there’s is a lot less collectibles than the Guiness book says.

[@nickw8160]

I can already tell this channel's going to go far if you keep up with it. LOVE the commentary

Thank you so much! That means a lot to me! I’ve been working hard at these! Trying to spread the love of all my old games :)

[@carnage0685]

disagree, especially looking at the lack of subscriber and view count growth as of the last 10 months, but that doesn't have to be a bad thing. if anything it looks like a niche channel that will (and already does seem to have) a small but very dedicated fanbase, and as of the time of writing this i would consider myself to be one of those fans. love it when people dive deep into something they feel very passionate about. passion is what drives the world to change and gives meaning to otherwise meaningless things.

@jiggylookback yeah this is the echo chamber effect. This happens very commonly with Sonic games too. I'm not sure if it's the younger crowd or just people in general jumping on bandwagons, but it's definitely a trend to hate on classic games and make them seem overrated.

[@ItMeRobin]

Saying that DK64 killed the collectathon genre is like saying ET caused the 1983 video game crash. It's just a scapegoat and ignoring a wider problem at hand. DK64 is a flawed game, but it's one that I love. Maybe there is too much stuff to collect. Maybe it hasn't aged well. But that ultimately doesn't matter, because there are so many special memories I hold with this game that I have a hard time separating, and I'll always appreciate that.

Replaying in 2024 with upscaled textures and loving it.

Hopefully this will curb the timesink of the Snide HQ cutscenes.

I do have to say this, when i first heard your channel, and I am not kidding, I thought you were my Uncle herman, becasue your voice is identical to his. And yes, he still sounds really young despite him now being about to turn 73 in July. Every time he is on the phone, people don't believe him when he says his age. What's even more crazy is he is also a huge fan of DK64 and a lot of rare games. Now I'll have to tell my uncle that we found his internet counterpart. You two may be form different generations, but you two are just so alike, from your voices being pretty much identical, to you both being huge DK64 and gaming fans. While his fellow people born in 1951 are doing their kind of stuff, Uncle Herman is with us young people playing video games, kicking ass at Mario Party 4, owning at Banjo Kazooie, and playing DK64, Diddy Kong Racing, Luigi's Mansion, and Super Mario Galaxy. Hopefully when you are Uncle Herman's age, you'll still be gaming as well. So when I say you and UNcle Herman are a lot alike, enough so that when I heard your voice for the first time that I actually thought you were him, I mean it. Keep being amazing.

You are right about Diddy being faster. Each Kong has a different speed and power stat. From fastest to slowest: Diddy, Tiny, Lanky, DK, & Chunky. From weakest to strongest: Tiny, Diddy, Lanky, DK, & Chunky. Now, Power doesn't mean too much, as most of the time the enemies go with a single hit or you use an instrament, but it can be useful for the arenas.

[@jiggylookback]

I don't think I officially new they had different stats, but I guess I did feel it. And a few foes that Tiny and Diddy had to jump twice on VS Chunky and DK who one shot them.

I don't think having a quick swap mechanic would be good. Part of the enjoyment of this game for me is doing your "shopping list" of duties as each Kong in the most efficient way possible. But you definitely have to be in the mood to do it that way.

I remember seeing this being teased on Twitter. And now, here we are! I don't understand the hate of Donkey-Kong 64. Some is justified, but a MAJORITY of influencers have jumped onto some kind of "bandwagon" that was started by Snoman Gaming. If you want to know a game that killed the 3D Platformer genre, that dishonor would have to go to Leisure Suit Larry: Box Office Bust. It is everything that COULD have gone wrong with Super Mario Sunshine. Not only did it ACTUALLY kill the 3D Platformer genre that was popularized from the legacy of Super Mario 64 in terms of relevance, but it also destroyed the genre's relevance. Yes, Box Office Bust is the WORST 3D Platformer ever made. Even worse than Bubsy 3D!

Beaver Bother must’ve been designed by satan himself. But the worst thing is the Nintendo coin and how it’s mandatory to beat the game.

When I watched the Let's Play (by Maple McKenzie, then DazzlingAddar), it took me a while to read the graphic on the training barrels as Cranky's head. All I noticed was the beard and thought it was a white eighth note. I don't think I ever saw someone shoot through the Tag Barrel. I probably would have assumed a shot wouldn't go through. I see you did in Jungle Japes what Maple didn't think of until Angry Aztec, which is avoid feeding Scoff DK's bananas. She (then referred to as "he", albeit... RAREly) tried to feed him according to which bananas she interpreted as the least delicious to least undelicious. Well, he doesn't burst even when fed with 400 bananas at once on top of the 1280 he's already been fed over the course of the rest of the game, but maybe if you gave him just one wafer-thin banana chip more... Yeah, I don't know what's dumber, that DK has to learn how to pull a lever, or that he's the only one who can. On that note, one probably shouldn't take what one sees on the barrel monitor TOO literally. It's slight the first time, which shows DK slamming the ground to knock down a Golden Banana that he... is to lazy to put sufficient effort into jumping for? Yet the Golden Banana that represents is just hanging out at practically ground level after being trapped in a rock. And here, Lanky's OrangStand lets him run around the wall of the barrel he's displayed in, and who knows what power is letting him stick to the wall. Looney Tunes power, I guess. And if you really want to see the bonus ending cutscenes, you can watch them on KZbin under, at minimum, the aforementioned LP. If you want to watch it on your own TV knowing that you earned it, however...

People just have godawful tastes, nowadays! It's true! Perfect Dark and Half Life are the only good shooters ever made, the rest are just straight up cookie cutter garbage! A lot of these M-rated games are just unappealing as hell. Not all M-rated games are bad nor do I buy that shit that it promotes mass shootings. They are just run of the mill games filled with blood, violence, and swearing, that's it! If there was more than just blood and violence, then maybe these M-rated games would be fun. Like there are generally some M-rated games that don't just glorify the blood and violence, they actually tell a story and do have appealing characters. Like I said, there are good M-rated games out there that aren't just about shooting shit and blood. They actually tell a decent story with decent gameplay. I'm just saying 90% of M-rated games are bad because all they do is just focus on the blood and violence, and have characters say the F-word, like it's some malfia flick.

I cant remember who posted the video of it but Galleons mechanical fish becomes borderline impossible if you don't do it BEFORE getting the zoom scope.

Dk 64 was a gem of a game..

[@jiggylookback]

Was and is!

[@GoeTeeks]

Switching characters at any time by a button press was not a console limitation. Goemon 64 let's you swap between its four playable characters with a single button at any time. It was a design decision to not let you switch between characters at any time.

[@jiggylookback]

Oh no it isn’t a console limitation because mods can do that for this game on native hardware and it works well

[@TheAegiss]

Top notch intro 🤌🏼

Just finished playing this game. I still love this game, ya it has its flaws, but its so charming and full of personality that it's still fun to play.

[@jiggylookback]

Agreed! The charm is really what pushes it! Plus the music is phenomenal and the gameplay is fun!

[@FreeAimDog]

the fact that i collected those blueprints for nothing when i last beat it pisses me off. i worked so hard thinking i was going to get a great reward and well, only mini games unlocked ugh i know i should have looked up what i wanted to get but i wanted to be surprised and it dint pay off.

[@jiggylookback]

I feel this. But hey at least it makes you get all the bananas.

[@carnage0685]

also dk arcade game was a critical fucking design flaw. i never actually beat it. i only beat the game when i eventually learned how to glitch past the door in hideout helm, lol. getting the rareware coin was 90x easier than even beating the dk arcade game once, let alone TWICE.

[@jiggylookback]

On this point I whole heartedly agree. It was the only time in the game I was super frustrated. That being said I am now amazing at the arcade game lol

[@ultrajonny64]

[@Blade-hf9po]

No, the collectables aren't the issue. It's what you have to do to get a few of them that is the problem. Any beaver bother, Lanky's race vs the beetle, no counter for the coins so i never know if I found them all...

[@jiggylookback]

That’s fair. Those mini games could have disappeared almost entirely and I wouldn’t have missed them. I think generally I like every other aspect.

[@TheMadMadman]

For what its worth the banana coins don't count towards your completion percentage. Plus there's way more of them in the game than you'll ever need to get all the moves and upgrades.

You already probably figured it out but You punch those 3 shields on the wall to make a rock drop and place it on the switch in the middle of the room

It’s funny. Somehow I figured it out as a kid, but I didn’t spend a lot of time on it so I didn’t know in this playthrough haha

[@lpnp9477]

My only issue with this game is having to backtrack to switch kongs. I know there is a hack that lets you switch on the fly but I am too lazy to figure that shit out. I don't wanna patch roms I just wanna switch kongs

I get a lot of hate from my friend group when I say that DK64 is my favorite game. I love the characters and anything composed by Grant Kirkhope is pure art. Will also add that now in my early 30s, i still have ptsd from the "Get Out" levels. Mad Jack is my favorite boss easily. The boss music for Amydillo in Crystal Caves also just hits different. Also getting to use all of the Kongs in the big finale was so amazing as a kid. This game is great.

[@thecat-alyst2716]

I do have to wonder what kind of boss could be created for Crystal Caves and the other ones that had do over bosses.

[@jiggylookback]

They should have made you fight the big club guy as a boss and flesh him out more.

[@thecat-alyst2716]

@@jiggylookback For sure, pluss it would have meant that Mildred Sturgeon could have voiced two bosses in the game instead of just one. She voiced the big club enemies (Kosha), and she did some of the voice clips for the Army Dillo boss. Wish she would come back to voice acting, at least she's happy doing radio. IDK where she does it though.

[@katelynthewhitewerewolf6376]

I love Donkey Kong 64 it's more fun and better than Mario 64. I like Tiny she's my favorite character I like playing as her best and Mad Jack is my favorite boss fight.

[@turntsnaco824]

This and DKC were some of my absolute favorite games as a kid. I beat all of them.....except this.....because I couldn't get the stupid Nintendo coin from beating the original Donkey Kong. I got to the last room of the freaking game, right before the final boss, but I never even got to fight him just because I couldn't beat that stupid arcade game. Something literally required to finish the game should not have been walled off behind an archaic arcade challenge, which should have just been completely optional. Make it part of the 101% or whatever, sure. But not just to fight the final boss. Definitely one of the worst design choices in the history of game development, it's cathartic to hear someone empathize with me about it.

[@jiggylookback]

Getting the actual Nintendo coin was my issue. FIGURING OUT that I needed to beat the DK arcade was the issue. How would I have known that lmao I didn’t beat this game officially until I was like 12 or 13 cause I never knew and couldn’t get the last boss fight.

If you think about it, this game is probably one of the few nintendo games actually worth 60$ due to it's leght, and even if it wasn't it would be the equivalent of 3 Nintendo games for the price of one, people sure are ungrateful.
