Donkey Kong Country 101% Speedrun - 43 minutes

ENGLISH
Donkey Kong Country 101% speedrun, done on ZSNES (non-TAS of course) with the (U) 1.2 version of the game. The final in-game time is 43 minutes, which does not take into account the time spent in the world map.
I am very satisfied with this run, which contains few mistakes. It's a shame that the blue rope cost me a few seconds in Slipslide Ride.
-----------------------------------------
FRANCAIS
Speedrun de Donkey Kong Country 101%, fait sur ZSNES (non assisté bien sûr) avec la version (U) 1.2 du jeu. Le temps console final est de 43 minutes, ce qui exclut le temps passé sur la map.
Je suis très satisfait de ce run, qui contient peu d'erreurs. Dommage que cette corde bleue m'ait fait perdre quelques secondes dans Balade en Glissade.

"I did this using one life... and it took me less than an hour" - Confirmed: +LeHulk1 is Cranky Kong

[@powerpup97]

So I guess it is possible to beat the game with one life in less than an hour!

[@LeHulk1]

Absolutely!

[@nuffzed2001]

a fiendishly difficult game was DKC

[@AxlTheScourge]

im not interested in doing a speedrun. i'd rather take my time with games i love this much but i gotta ask are the short cuts required for 101%? or is it only the bonus and warps that count?

[@BrickmanZero]

@@AxlTheScourge only the bonus (not warps required)

[@Katie-hj5eb]

Cranky percent

[@CrocaHead]

52:38 I love how you're mimicking K Rool hahaha

[@favioferreira8921]

I was hoping Cranky would give a different message if you did beat the game with one life and in under an hour, like “You did a fantastic job! You’ve done me proud!” As if the ultimate challenge wasn’t defeating K. Rool, but winning Cranky’s respect.

[@fabianenrique2424]

This is a real speedrun, no glitches or bugs.

[@Gecko1993HogheadIncOfficial]

Cranky Kong: World’s First Speedrunner... KONGFIRMED! Either that, or the developers had some REALLY good playtesters...!!! :D

[@SonikkuAtrue]

Gecko 1993 Fun fact, the play tester was Isaac Marshall The same guy that infamously voiced Toad in MK64 (US)

[@Gecko1993HogheadIncOfficial]

I didn't know that! Thanks for the trivia! :D I guess Isaac Marshall was or still is a master gamer who may, or may not have created the art of speedrunning...

[@YashBeanz]

@@Gecko1993HogheadIncOfficial Actually I think the art of speedeunning was back in the NES era with Metroid giving you different endings based on how fast you beat the game. But Isaac ir another playtester must've been a god gamer to pull off the cranky challenge.

[@scoobyr4731]

At least for getting 101% should of been a different ending

[@1adamgriffin1]

it was, cranky said you've found absolutely everything

[@RyneMcKinney]

That's still barely anything

Nice! I remember as a kid I used to get to 93% in a few years of searching for secrets

[@h0lx]

lolete García Yes! and what with no internet and stuff to look from :)

[@Onmysheet]

But the level titles tell you if you have all the secrets or not by there being an exclamation mark next to the title

[@bigg7505]

I agree, I was expecting a whole new ending, or SOMETHING other than an atta boy! Lol

Félicitations! Tu es donc le nouveau recordman mondial!!

[@JeanBaptisteEmanuelZorg]

Thanks for this vid. You play extremely well. And thanks for a 240p video - really, it is how I remember true DKC on SNES on TV. I hate those oversharped or oversmoothed yet pixelated so-called 4K vids of retro games. Good job.

[@stevensuddreth540]

Amazing! OMG the DK music is just SO good! 👍🏽

What a God damn monster

[@ryukjoga]

That's truly impressive. I like to hunt 100%+ in games but speedrun is just too much for me cause i play a lot of different tittles. You have to master the game and it takes ironically, a lot of time.

[@familyguy578]

I have played this game for close to two decades and I still do not know all of the secrets it contains.

Muito bom Parabéns vc e fera ainda tira com a cara do chefe kkkkkk

[@darthtripedacus1]

Damn this beats my completion time and I thought I was hot stuff

[@pensacolian211]

I honestly didn't think it was possible. I 101%'d the game the other day and I completed it in just under 7 hours. I could have done it a lot quicker if I'd known that you didn't have to complete all bonus levels nor collect all the Kong letters to get 101%. I wasted so much time on stuff that didn't even matter, but at least I know that I got everything, and I mean everything. If I messed up in a bonus room I would kill myself to start the level over.

[@rogeriolacerda9158]

Meus parabéns meu melhor tempo foi 55 minutos 101%

[@TheWolfsFriend]

what was the point of going backwards through stop & go station?

[@cubofcakes]

tEm paY fo c0olEg!!1 I think once you beat a stage you can start select in the stage to exit it instead of completing it again. So they beat it once then went back and got the bonus stages and by pressing start select at the last bonus stage they were able to just quit the stage without having to waste the extra time getting to the end again.

[@AdrianoSantos-pj5dd]

uau! velocidade assustadora!

[@ninjahombrepalito1721]

Man, DK got no credit for beating those bosses... I feel a little bad for him but I don't really care that much.

[@samueljansen3855]

Wow, how many secrets does this game have?

[@mirasilenthill3348]

Enough to let u know that everybody was trolled by nintendo. I'm telling u this because there are secrets like false deaths, shortcuts and useless areas such as "kong banana hoard" which is accessible in the first stage but almost everyone enter in it after completing the game.

[@TheHiroBlade]

It's really nothing compared to Donkey Kong 64. That game is insane to get every collectible on. At least DKC lets you know what stages you've found everything secret on with an exclamation point on the stage select screen, and telegraphs almost every secret room with some kind of clue like an inexplicably positioned barrel, banana arrows, or a corner of the warp barrel visible on-screen. A teleological mind will find most of them eventually, frustrating as it is.

[@nathanhamman418]

@@TheHiroBlade dk64 was a collectithon, this is a platformer, and honestly dk64 had some terrible design choices, I loved the game, but there was so much that should have been done better so we weren't playing the same stages at least 5 times just to get everything.

[@alexjohnward]

@@TheHiroBlade I remember 1 barrel took me and my brother months to find because of the massive boarders on our ancient television obscured the clue!

[@TheHiroBlade]

@@alexjohnward That reminds me of my of something similar: I I loved Warcraft 2 as a child, and played the shit out of it when we got our first PC. (probably mid 90s) I ran into problems on I think the 4th level of the game because the tile set was really dark. (it took place in a corrupted area closer to the portal) The game itself was still really easy, but I needed to find oil to build ships, as the enemy on that stage was across the sea. The problem? I couldn't see the oil; like at all. I knew that there were oil deposits on the sea, because I had collected oil in earlier levels to build ships. But the sea on this tileset was darker, and I couldn't distinguish between oil and water. Every. Single. Stage. that was set on that tileset involved me sending ships into the sea, and just clicking around in their wake, hoping to select oil deposits. It got to the point where I memorized oil locations on the different stages, so I knew were to go when I replayed it. And it wasn't until years latter that I realized that this hadn't been a deliberate mechanic. Turns out I just had a Really old, tiny, crappy monitor, set up in the brightly lit living room, that had crappy, really dark backlighting.

[@thegzak]

Where did that autoblast barrel come from when he switched kongs at 11:12? Looks like a bug to me...

[@LeHulk1]

It's not a bug! It's a secret from that level. If you get to that point fast enough and switch to DK, this barrel appears.

[@mojmov6128]

So wait, you dont need to collect the kong letters? All this time I thought that was part of 100% cmpletion

[@LeHulk1]

No, they aren't. Only the secret bonus games count towards the completion percentage.

[@florentc.980]

TU ES UN GRAND MAITRE JE PENSAIS ETRE UN BON AVOIR DU SKILL MAIS JE DOIS RECONNAITRE QUE LA TU ES AU DESSUS TU ES BON BRAVO TU EN AS DAUTRE DES COMME CA???

[@The_Invisible_Hand]

Any particular reason he always picks the "wrong" one in the which-barrel-is-the-item-in bonus levels? Is the fail animation faster than the success one? PS - Cranky says "What a player you are, Donkey my lad"... but it was Diddy who did most of the work! :)

[@LeHulk1]

Losing minigames is slightly faster than winning them indeed; the fail animation is a bit faster ;)

[@neozerodestiny2761]

Wanna see the speedrun on 0:44 try.

[@vrotime6261]

Is cool

[@odin8234]

Oloco bixo

[@mauricioflores8980]

I cannot get past 100%, and I could swear I did them all, and compared with each... Just to check, do water-levels have any “bonus rooms” that count toward the 101% ?

[@LeHulk1]

No, water levels have no secret places (none that count towards the 101% at least). Maybe you are missing the bonus in a bonus at 30:30?

[@mauricioflores8980]

LeHulk1 I did it... thanks for your reply :)

[@mauricioflores8980]

I found it... it was in elevator antics at the end. I had seen it on this video many times, so I thought I had done it... but I hadn’t... finally done! Thanks a lot, it was a very helpful video

[@joey.haywood2]

Is it particularly faster to fail the challenges? I don't know the time differences for the animation

[@LeHulk1]

Yes, failing the minigames is faster by a very small amount. I haven't tested it myself though...

[@chrisservos4772]

Using the correct timing method, this run is about 52:25.

[@chrisservos4772]

Starts after selecting game, ends on barrel drop.

[@chrisservos4772]

[@heyz13]

That's what I love about these games... It's just a well executed timed pattern.

[@starrquedent1789]

Now do it on the sp! 😏

[@gloobark]

why did you quit some bonus challenges immediately but waited for others

[@LeHulk1]

It depends on the route. When I have already beaten a level, I can do Start+Select to exit the minigame, but this is not available if the level isn't beaten yet.

[@j-scribble7676]

I can never get 101%, I always get 💯...

[@alexjohnward]

there is a secret level in the secret level

[@j-scribble7676]

alexjohnward alexjohnward I’ve always done the bonus area in Oil Drum Ally and gone for the smallest prize (single banana) and then got the barrel to smash the door. Problem is, it never lets me play the 2nd bonus room.

[@dayandnight333]

@@j-scribble7676 you have to jump into the door to smash it AND enter it without being taken back to the level ... you can't just walk into it; if you do, you will smash it, but the little cutscene will start and take you back to the level. it's weird but it works

[@j-scribble7676]

does this include ALL side quests??

It includes what is necessary for the game to give you 101%, i.e. all secret bonus rooms. You don't have to get all KONG letters or all the hidden extra lives, for instance.

I know it looks hard but with practice it’s not I’m a speedrunner my pb is 45:34

[@imhere2clownyourass348]

Getting everything in the game should give you a new ending. I wasted my childhood getting every secret before internet was existed. At least play as candy funky or cranky as a reward.

[@fungidragon7494]

It was the snes they were already pushing the console to it's breaking point whith the game. So they may not have had the ability to do that which is sad but we can help by modding the game.

[@grandmastermario3695]

Why does it say on the leaderboard that wr is 45 minutes when you got 43 you should have the record

[@LeHulk1]

Thanks but actually, my run is old and a lot worse than current records. It is 43 minutes with in-game time, which is about 52 minutes in real time. ;)

[@grandmastermario3695]

Oh ok

[@belkano]

Quel est le record mondial?

[@LeHulk1]

46:32 par Eazinn. Mon run est au dessus des 52 minutes avec la méthode de timing appropriée pour les speedruns de DKC. 43 minutes c'est le temps in-game, mais ça fait longtemps qu'on ne devrait plus utiliser ça pour chronométrer les runs.

[@belkano]

LeHulk1 ça reste une sacrée perf, et en regardant la run on voit mal ce qui pourrait s'améliorer ( mis à part la corde bleue). Peut-être un nouveau glitch découvert récemment ?

[@LeHulk1]

Il y a des glitchs, oui, et des strats plus évoluées. Il y a des jumprolls infinis (très durs à faire). Mais honnêtement, ce run est vieux, et déjà quand je l'avais fait il y a quatre ans il battait le run de SDA mais pas le record du monde.

[@noobie7727]

Does it bother anyone else these 101 percents always fail the mini games and secret areas... it doesnt feel like 101 percent if you ask me XD

[@gabrieljeneral2981]

Wtf at 11:14?

[@LeHulk1]

It's a secret in the game. If you get to this point in the level fast enough and are using Donkey Kong, this warp barrel appears and gets you to the end of the level.
