Donkey kong 64 Music- Crystal Caves

[@Gruntilda-Winkybunion]

this were the times, rare and nintendo!!! Donkey Kong and Banjo-Kazooie the reason for my crazy and endless Fantasy x) thx Rare

[@Grayson1048]

even without the memories, if it catches you in a bad day, this melody can make you cry even if you never played DK 64

[@Gruntilda-Winkybunion]

i am so glad i had this game and Banjo-Kazooie and Tooie and DKR!! im 20 now and i play them, i love them... waaa great!!!! the music from kirkhope is always epic! *.*

[@Gruntilda-Winkybunion]

31 now.. still listening 👌

[@Vlavv]

Wah! Thanks for the tip. I had never heard of Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, but I'll check that right now. Glad to hear that Grand Kirkhope is still producing VG music.

[@ItsQuesh]

Mysterious, dreamy, beautiful, and yet so pure. I love the incredible orchestra arrangements and composition. My favorite part is from 0:46 to 1:23 and again from 1:41 to 1:59. This is one of my top favorites. Truly amazing.

[@JORDANBAUMER]

awwh man i remember growing this goldeneye and earthworm jim 3D was all i played wen i was old enough to finally understand how to play videogames super nintendo was just at the end of the road and the n64 came out i loved this game i wish i could just live my years of age four to 8 all over again just one more time

[@Thedragonsisters]

So many childhood memories! This was one of my favourite games growing up!

[@SelenyumSe34]

Indeed, I think it's my third favorite level theme. The main variation was great, very catchy.

[@Joeyyyyzx]

Listening to this just brings back childhood memories of playing this

[@BlazeInferno360]

Ah!!! I still have my N64. On top of that. I have DK 64, Banjo-Kazooie, Mario 64, Star Fox 64, etc. To make it even better, I still play Goldeneye 64 with my brother and my friend that I grew up with. These are treasures that I will keep for a very long time.

[@jennyramirez2180]

this song reminds me about my famliy and its me cry when i was small i was lost in the snow it took me forever to find my famliy.i have a ipod and i play that song in the snow its me cry so hard because my famliy and that day too :'(

[@MaggotKumar]

when will they make a sequel to this game..a proper adventure one, i have been waiting almost 10 years!

[@rasul01]

Now you've been waiting 23 years, yay!

[@mx781]

definitely one of my fave games of all time

[@9legoboy9]

The graphics were incredible for 1999 the music was awesome and the controls were extremely responsive. This was the game I would run down at breakfast to play and is my favorite N64 game. Not even Mario 64, Banjo or even Zelda can compare to the masterpiece that is this game. We havent even got a real Donkey Kong game since this. There was the remakes, the spin-offs and the climber series but since this we havent got a chance to play another excellent Donkey Kong game. NINTENDO NEEDS ANOTHER!!!

[@CrazyPilf]

What a brilliant game, and the music is just as fantastic! Now that i think about it i never finished the final boss battle :( still great game. This and Jungle Japes are my favorite from this game.

[@DarkLeviathan8]

True, true, I realised that 3 months earlier since I bought it and had tons of fun with it again :D

[@Grizzy823]

why the didnt make a second one is beyond me this was such a good game they need to make it for 3DS

[@rasul01]

A DK 64 sequel for the 3DS would've been so good.

[@Fyperdog]

I miss donkey kong games like this :(

[@Samsquamch23]

This song always reminded me of "The Goonies" lol. Awesome game, awesome movie.

[@musicismylife8787]

I love the music from this level! Actually, the music from the entire game is brilliant.

[@ZAIKOSHITORI]

And dou you still play dk64? Because i'm do😏😏

[@runehero124]

Yeah, their music files are the exact same format. That's why I was able to import fungi forest music from DK64 to BK pretty easy. :)

[@Grizzy823]

I wonder why they didnt make a Second oen this was the best Donkey kong game ever man i remember the day i got this on christmas wit the Green 64 i play this wit my little brother every cahnce i get still lots of fun

[@aBDKstan]

He said on Twitter that he applied for a job at Retro Studios but got turned down. Which is a shame because he's my favorite video game composer

[@plux24]

I LOVE that music!!!!! it's very relax.

[@xXGRAND1]

DAMN THE MEMORIES!!

[@MrScellaneous]

Lol, good memories. Sounds like one of those rainy day songs, you know? Aside from those "Club swinging Bastards", I used to get purposely killed because the thought of them helplessly trying to kill you was funny. However, being targeted and having the sniper or some shit say "GET OUT", very well freaked me the fuck out. Yup, good times.

[@CordyBrush]

admit it guys, no soundtrack in this game is better than the other. They are ALL as epic they can be! :D

[@gillian3420]

I pray that someday this gets remade..I mean I downloaded every single song and put it on my ipod because it inspires me SO much ; o ;..

[@BEALTIMINTMAN79]

This music is the one thing that got me threw this extremely hard level. How can I stop playing if this is the music. Oh yeah, this doesn't play during the mini-games. Goodbye beautiful music!

[@torchicguy]

So peaceful, so relaxing, there's not a care in the w- OMG LOOK OUT GIANT ROCK SLIDE!!!

[@Tysen11]

ahh my childhood right here :)

[@ZTheTinyTonTerror]

Hey... I seem to remember the "dum, dum dum dum da dum dum dum" sort of bassy sound being a flute in the game..

[@TomateFouree]

Nice song

[@jessieland56]

@rootbeer543 Rare is now owned by Microsoft, who owns the Xbox. That is why DK64 isn't on the Wii Shop channel. At least, that's how I understand it to be.

[@Deader87]

I do to, because it's sort of melancholic & childish in a nostalgic sort of way. With the crystalline-fantasy world in it

[@ItsQuesh]

Yes it would. I would love it.

[@jhoch5]

fans of this music need to get kingdoms of amalur reckoning, I was instantly reminded of dk64 when playing it and then found out its grant kirkhope who composed it, very beautiful yet simple soundtrack like banjo kazooie and dk64 before it

[@HakuShiro18]

When I was a child this Level scared me. I hated the falling rocks and the Banana for Diddi in the Big house. But the Music was my favorite

[@Lews026]

@cutter0fsteel I don't know. I doubt it. Rare are a shadow of their former selves and are now owned by Microsoft not a third party for Nintendo anymore. It's probably available for download on a 360 now, though.

[@theetimelincoln]

i think a 3ds remake is in order. or heck a full on sequel!

[@rootbeer543]

This game is awesome. Iv'e never beaten it but i'm trying now and so far I have 500 bananas and 25 golden bananas in each level up to Fungi Forest. I like this level. I think its based sort of off the ice caves from DKC2.

[@xNekomimi93x]

I LOVED the race you had to do in this level XD my friend and I had so much fun cuz we always messed up :] @galaxyguy159 - I was raised with all of them ^^ Mario, Zelda, DK 64 AAAAND banjo kazooie!

[@DementisXYZ]

I'm more than certain Rareware could make a lot more money were they to release a TRUE soundtrack for this game, one with almost every song on it. How many people would shove their money in rare's face to get that soundtrack?

[@PenutButerNdJely]

these rare games and their music....

[@MrEcentric]

this level....its something else.

[@aBDKstan]

Yeah, I know. I feel bad for Grant and Chris Seavor as well. He's the one who created Conker and he got fired from Rare but Rare kept the rights to Conker. So he can't even make a game for a series he created.

[@Poot94]

I remember playing this when i was about 7, I never got past this level for like a month cause i got so freaked out by the snipers and falling rocks and stuff

[@kyleclair41]

GET OUT! Haha I understand. Those things freaked me out too.

[@Slvrdcky]

i hated whenever the spikes started falling. it was real fun beating up the guy with that club.

[@yamigekusu]

that part of the game still gives me nightmares to this day

[@TMW001]

Completly agree with you MettanAtem.

[@salsamonkey65]

I personally like the demented catacombs and ballroom music lots!

[@Kaboomboo]

I wrote lyrics to this music for my friend for Christmas one year.

[@UltraZapdos]

@Nsanity96 About the Kirby game. It's a game about yarn!!!

[@thecool9]

i lost this game somehow... listening to this is killing me... i wanna play it again so badly... :(

[@jeremyduncan414]

i beat the game a lot of times because it was my first video game i ever played

[@AzureFlame5n1p3r]

same here i miss this game ;_;

[@ToadsWinningGoal]

Its sad to say i dont see the day that Nindendo will work with Rare on another project, but who knows, 10 years ago who'd have thought sonic would be in a game with mario?

[@CreativeGeoff]

YEP.. I sold my Super Nintendo games. that's because I didn't no it's value.. I got older and every single 64 game I have I still keep.. AND I NEVER FORGOT THE LANKY KONG GLITCH that gets you into every level of the game..ahhh the first real cheat code I ever put in.. aside from BEWAREOBLIVIONISATHAND from Turok.

[@Deader87]

This level kind of makes me think of a sad-scene in a children's fantasy-movie

[@awsomenesscaleb]

I wish Nintendo would make another full-fledged Donkey Kong game for the Wii like DK64.

[@OZZY123455]

how can anybody hate this game?? its the shit and has the best soundtrack : ^ D

[@kdreamland]

@TheMinh234 I never knew why people said those classic coins were so hard to get. I smashed that DK classic arcade game. Took me a good few tries, but nothin too hard. Personally I find some of the temples in DKR harder meself.

[@MettanAtem]

This game needs to be added to the Wii Virtual Console.

[@noobking111]

yah I still have all of my 64 games. why sell? they are classics! lol. I just said I am old. now I know how dad feels. "why back in my days game consoles didn't have Internet. and games ware no bigger than 60MB" lol.

[@XxArachitexX]

HighLandHotPocket - That's exactly how I felt, the anxiety, the mf rock smasher, the fear. lol. It's true; great game anyway

[@Necromagenvi0n]

Grant Kirkhope is a musical god among mortals.

[@Wookster5]

unfortunately hes now been let go by the company :( i hpe he gets somewhere soon hes by far the best composer in gaming,

[@rasul01]

Are you referring to Grant Kirkhope?

[@BigOrangeSnowman88]

Best Game Ever. EVER.

[@Aurorosthebest]

@Grizzy823 You know, Rare was selled by Nintendo. they will not make that fast a new Donkey Kong 3D game.

[@SprDrumio64]

that friggin diddy kong fish challenge

[@JonnyJinx04]

@xHackAttackx (of course, I do agree that Rare went way downhill after joining MS.)

[@Deader87]

It more makes me think of the victims who died in 9/11 because, I played this game around the time that happened

[@njrk97]

@777Icedtea the best part is i can play this game whenever i want since i still have a working nintendo

[@Tailsfan803]

You know, thats all true. Most new games are begging to turn into that. (kinda)

[@DTOWNRW16]

one of the few games i have yet to beat. God damn door wont open to get to K rool

[@redneon06]

@corvette334 My N64 is one of the first 1996 models, old as dirt! Mine still works too! I love DK and Mario Kart! :) It works better than my XBox

[@rootbeer543]

We can't ONLY blame Rare for the absence of good DK games. Nintendo has a lot of good DK characters to use in a new 3D platforming adventure, yet they don't.

[@Angeldxmichaels]

i,m crying when i hear this song..

[@ConsciousMessPodcast]

that used to be so afraid of that when i was little

[@curtv3]

THIS GAME IS IMPOSSIBLE. I lost mine, and it was finished, before we moved to another neighbor hood, so it must still be at our other house. BUT, I got it for Christmas in 2004, and beat the Hideout Helm in 2006. BUT I CAN'T GET THE FREAKIN' RAREWARE COIN FROM THE DONKEY KONG ARCADE GAME!!! Which is impossible.

[@SelenyumSe34]

The entire soundtrack of this game was awesome, but I especially loved Crystal Caves (and its boss theme as well). Frantic Factory was great too, creepy, I hated that level haha.

[@kyleclair41]

Heh I always remembered Frantic Factory fondly. Creepy Castle, however? Nope. Nope nope nope. If ever there was a level I wanted to do the minimum on just to finish it as quickly as possible, it was that one.

[@DoctorEvilYR]

thats beautifuel

[@205whitewolf]

@TheMinh234 thank you man much appriciated

[@NinjoXEnlightened]

@Nsanity96 well kirby's yarn hasn't come out yet... and rare's new games are certainly creative... if nothing else... viva pinata, banjo nuts n' bolts are good examples

[@NinSega89]

Yeah, without using the internet or cheating.

[@metamaster5469]

gun dude:get out!!! me: okay i'm going! sheesh.

[@Mariooo57]

Best game ever.

[@rootbeer543]

@TheAHKCM I think they can't put it on Wii Shop Channel because Rare owns the rights to Jet Pack. Although it shouldn't be very difficult to replace it with another Rare game that Nintendo. Why not a selection of levels from DKC?

[@ArichDKC]

The person who disliked it was K. Rool himself

[@MyMdsa]

Memories

[@Star_Lord_3099]

@777Icedtea i still have this game and my N64 still works :)

[@TheInfernalToad]

@9legoboy9 Could not have said it better, this is my favorite game of all time :D

[@CreativeGeoff]

I hated when that thing kept hitting the level...it scared the crap out of me lol

[@salsamonkey65]

@SelenyumSe34 Creepy Castle had sweet music too!

[@rootbeer543]

@JabuJabule But Nintendo owns rights to all things Donkey Kong. They have the rights to DK64, but the jetpack belongs to them. Its the only thing that Nintendo doesn't own in the game.

[@church7089]

I'm currently 100%ing it!

[@aguy70]

the only thing i hated about this level was junior on the top banging his club and making icicles fall on you, but hey they had to make the level hard somehow

[@205whitewolf]

@TheMinh234 that confused me lol i mean the last key you can see it in the krocks like lair thing after you dismantle the gun thats gonna destroy the island its been so long i forget the names of people and places in the game

[@Lynker]

@rootbeer543 No, because Rare helped make the game, so they technically own it :(

[@BrawlKat141]

@777Icedtea I did cried a little, because I'm not going to play this again :(
