This video was initially demonetized. Looks like it's all good after a review, though! There was a line I said that was possibly slightly lewd out of context, maybe you'll notice it. That is my best guess as to why it was demonetized at first, but we're good now! :)

[@DinoBunnyStudio]

Yay king!!!

[@violethelianthus1436]

That's good to hear! Also, with regards to blue bananas, ripe (i.e. yellow) bananas actually look blue under UV light. The more you know.

"possibly slightly lewd out of context" Yeah sounds about right for youtube in 2021

The good ending

[@Droboto23456]

The reason it says rub for backspace in the dk arcade game is that in Britain, a rubber is what they call an eraser and Rare is a British company

[@ScykohPlays]

Hmm, that may be it. I do wonder if the original 1981 arcade game also said rub or if that was just added for this version.

[@2GamersAndAMic]

[@dragon666777]

late to this, but rare had no involvement with the DK arcade game, not sure why it says rub otherwise though (for the record, it also says it in the original 1981 arcade version, not just this port)

[@Wisel8]

Random trivia about this game: The worlds in this game are designed in pairs. There are 4 DK Worlds (that you enter from DK Island) and 4 Kremling worlds (that you enter on K. Rool's island). Each DK world has a matching Kremling world that that is the opposite of it in theming. So for example this world, Frantic Factory, is the Kremling version of Jungle Japes (Jungle Japes is all about nature where this one is all about mechanics.)

[@CesarTorres61296]

So by that Logic the worlds would compare like this: Jungle Japes = Frantic Factory. Fungi Forest = Gloomy Galleon. Crystal Caves = Creepy Castle. Angry Aztec = Hideout Helm.

[@Wisel8]

@@CesarTorres61296 Actually I think it goes like this: Jungle Japes = Frantic Factory Angry Aztec = Gloomy Galleon (the opposite of Desert level is water level) Fungi Forest = Creepy Castle (Fungi Forest is all about life whereas Creepy Castle is all about death) Crystal Cavern = Hideout Helm (Crystal Cavern is the heart of DK Island and Hideout Helm is the heart of K. Rool's base) This also makes more sense because it makes a pattern. The game goes in order: Unlock 2 DK stages then unlock the 2 Kremling Stages that correspond to them. Then repeat, unlock 2 DK Stages then again unlock the 2 Kremling Stages that correspond to them. This also, also makes most of them have equivalent locations on DK Island VS K. Rool Island (Jungle Japes and Frantic Factory are both pretty close to the main entrances, Angry Aztec and Gloomy Galleon are both on the outside edges, Fungi and Creepy on the very top, Crystal and Hideout are both inside the head)

[@Wisel8]

It occurs to me how much I've overthought everything about this but I really love the world building in this game I think it's really cool

[@CesarTorres61296]

@@Wisel8 That would actually make sense.

"Rubbing one out of existence" an excellent choice of words but not quite the right ones.

[@janjaniga]

Brentalfloss: “Chunky’s dead” Scykoh: Ima stop you right there.

[@richardmeehleib1864]

yes

[@btf_flotsam478]

Fun fact: Rare has the player character's speed increase with the lag. This means that, although the game itself slows down, the Kong moves faster in-game to cancel it out. This makes it easier to overlook (which is what Scykoh was talking about at 4:55-ish). On the other hand, it means that you can clip through walls if there is a lot of lag. I only know this because of Bismuth's analysis video of the TAS of this game, it is worth checking out if you want to understand some of the weird stuff in this game.

[@davidmcgill1000]

Which is why they spam grenades to cause super lag and phase through barriers.

[@cd2220]

Wow that is both genius and also hilariously game breaking. I love it because for the common player they just have a more enjoyable experience but it also adds a really fun tool for speed runners

[@wterlep]

The Donkey Kong arcade section is a nice touch. I love when games do stuff like that.

[@chriscorey8481]

Another Kong means I've got more roll counting ahead of me! More likely long jumps, though, as Chunky doesn't really have a roll IIRC. DK Roll Count: This Episode: 89 Total: 265 Diddy Cartwheel Count: This Episode: 0 Total: 148 Tiny Roll Count: This Episode: 0 Total: 165 Lanky Long Jump Count: This Episode: 6 Total: 46

[@schnader]

Seeing Lanky's swag walk in the beginning makes me feel a lot of nostalgia.

[@frankymass]

Scykoh, those daily uploads from you have been a blessing for me. These times are rough for everyone, but I can only speak for myself.

[@kurdtcoben]

22:04 The DK in the arcade game is actually Cranky Kong in DK64.

[@renthegigglefox]

The Donkey Kong of the arcade games is actually Cranky as of the DKC era, with the DK from then on being Donkey Kong Jr. From the arcade series.

[@leviathan1173]

I've always thought that the cave where Snide's HQ is on DK Isles was one of the coziest looking places I've seen.

[@richardmeehleib1864]

You comment every video

[@theninjaofmusic]

The music in frantic factory is god tier. Best song in the game.

[@sirkredrum3406]

Ash Ketchum could easily give Chunky a piggy back ride. Just at how he casually held Cosmoem with that weight. And this game even says that Chunky weighs over 2000 lbs.

[@woobgamer5210]

that's probably in his Hunky Chunky ability

[@zacharyleloux4988]

Chunky is my favorite Kong. Glad to see him!

Wow. I remember struggling so much with that Donkey Kong Arcade game as a kid. You're a psycho gamer for getting that Nintendo Coin first try :)

[@TheShadowCookie]

Well, I recently discovered your channel through my recommendations, and the quality of your content is lovely - especially passion-wise. This game was a huge part of my childhood, and watching your walkthrough randomly caused me to start playing Banjo Tooie again - good times. Keep on rolling, mate ♥

[@twilliamspro]

It kinda makes sense for DK64 donkey to play against Donkey in the Arcade Game. Its implied OG Donkey Kong is Cranky who clearly isnt Fond of pur DK

No way CHUNKY kong is alive did someone used the dragon Ball to wish him to life gust to capture him?

[@veraxis9961]

I am glad that you made an appropriately big deal about how hard that Donkey Kong arcade segment was. That crud took me so stinkin' long to get that back in the day!

[@ianandersen265]

When I first unlocked Frantic Factory and Gloomy Galleon, I was overwhelmed with joy to find Gloomy Galleon, and missed the part where Frantic Factory was opened. We had to depend on my 4 year old brother, a preschooler, who managed to find both Frantic Factory and Chunky Kong, while we were in school. That was a complete shock to all of us. We didn't believe him at first.

[@DoomedFriend]

you gotta appreciate the camera work for the most part for the n64

[@charlessegale6493]

I cannot overstate how much I loved this level solely because it had the original Donkey Kong arcade game in it.

[@FurrySoren]

I feel the same about low-fps game and stuff. As of today, I haven't played a single game in 60fps (I'm not proud of this lol) but what really sickens me is when people automatically say a game is bad because it's not at 60 fps or it has some frame dropping.

[@marijuanaknowsomething6743]

"rubbing one out of existence" that was hilarious!

[@quinntendo4622]

[@leobarqui5281]

Frantic Factory has some of the best design, music, puzzles, and lore in the entire game, and I can't wait to see you battle Mad Jack! I think I'll save my theory about him for the comment on that video, but suffice it to say for now that he's my favorite boss in DK64 from both a design and headcanon standpoint! Also, it's been a hot minute since Diddy's been a menace...

[@leviathan1173]

Ah, yes Frantic Factory. Perhaps the coolest level in terms of anesthetics, but one that still gives me PTSD cause of the BLASTED DK ARCADE GAME!

[@danielgreenwood793]

It took my years to finally finish dk64 because of that arcade game. I even had the players guide, but that required Nintendo coin, so frustrating.

This series has inspired me to go back and play DK64 for the first time in years. I've never actually beaten it, but hopefully there will be some tips and tricks i can learn from watching you play! Unfortunately, once I found my N64 I realized I'm gonna have buy a new Expansion Pack before i can actually play it. But at least i can enjoy your videos in the meantime!

[@Geomaster97]

One thing to note about Frantic Factory it takes place directly UNDER K rools Throne room we see him in meaning the kongs are literally under his nose

That camera pan the cutscene does after you turn on the factory is quite cool

[@Stairway2Devin]

Wow. Today was the first time I have beat the arcade twice! I remember lodging a controller in my TV when I was younger because of that side level! What I've noticed is that sometimes it can be kinder for all four levels, and you'll notice it. On the third level, that fire ball will just kind of hang out up top. On the second level, the pies stop coming completely on the middle right side so you can speed run it. Hard to explain, but I started noticing that and took advantage of it when I saw it again and did all four levels with 2 lives to spare like you did!

[@regi6186]

I've been playing DK64 for years, and to this day, I don't think I've seen the entirety of Frantic Factory. Same with a few of the levels, but this one in particular. It's absolutely massive.

[@Baschemon]

6:12 - an extra fun tidbit about Mechanical Zingers, if you hit them once they begin to smoke and start to malfunction, their grenade dropping accuracy decreases a great deal and makes it harder for them to hit you. However Lanky, Tiny and I believe Diddy, have to hit them 3 times with their weapons, and their white smoke will turn Black, and their Grenade Dropping accuracy decreases even more when they have black smoke. It's minor but when I was young playing the game I was fascinated at the little bit of detail Rare added to the enemy. :)
