Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest (DKC2 PIANO MEDLEY)

Me playing a huge Donkey Kong Country 2 medley on piano. This game has one of the best soundtracks ever, if not THE BEST! David Wise is a God and in my opinion, even on a par with Koji Kondo. I tried to include every level theme (save Haunted Hall). I've learned to play them all by ear within about 3 years.
LIST OF PIECES PLAYED:
00:00 - Intro
00:49 - Welcome to Crocodile Island / Map
01:24 - Pirate Panic
02:09 - Jib Jig / Mainbrace Mayhem
03:04 - Lockjaw's Saga / Shiphold
03:57 - Boss Bossanova
04:48 - Hot Head Hop
06:35 - Mining Melancholy / Kannon's Klaim
08:21 - Primal Rave / Animal Antics
09:53 - Bayou Boogie
11:12 - Snakey Chantey / Rattle Battle
12:14 - Stickerbrush Symphony / Bramble Blast
14:22 - Flight of the Zinger / Hornet Hole
16:05 - Disco Train
17:35 - Forest Interlude /Web Woods

Hearing this, makes me feel how was good the past time I lived with my Parents, but those never'll come back... I could die to have born once again and live that good time, playing games and listening for those musics first time again, going to school, playing soccer and many more things I did.

[@retro3188]

All those deaths at the end of the background music pieces probably lead to the “Game Over” piece at the end. No Red Balloons left.

[@DuffyJ1111]

Mining Melancholy so epic

[@up2speed122]

This is so amazing. It might be my favorite youtube video of all time. You're so talented, and the dedication shows on this. Never would anyone dare to play through an entire ost in one shot. Mostly want to thank you for uploading it to share with all. It makes me so happy to hear these songs. And to know there's other people out there who were moved by the musical masterpieces in the first generation of games.

[@ValueGaming]

Wow, I never realized what a large soundtrack full of good songs this game has. Impressively accurate renditions for using only a piano.

[@kwanholloway4112]

I'd love to think that David wise would be proud if he saw this. :)

[@KeiichiO]

I love what you did to the more atmospheric pieces like Lockjaw's Saga, Hot-Head Bop, Mining Melancholy, Bayou Boogie, Stickerbrush Symphony, and Flight of the Zinger. Very well done. I also love how you play each of the death themes for each corresponding level. It really shows how much you respect the DKC2 soundtrack.

[@standardprejudice9188]

Agreed.

I don’t think I’ve ever commented on a KZbin video before, but I couldn’t not here. This is simply brilliant. Thank you so much!

[@anastasisgravas4315]

Everything is great, but mining melancholy is my favorite across all three games and you nailed it !

[@seansmusic5602]

Man!! This is just crazy!! It’s surprising to hear such abundant sounds from the OST with only two hands. And I can see you’ve practiced really hard on this work. Two thumbs UP👍👍

[@Tenry92]

ich weiß gar nicht, wo ich anfangen soll... als erstes jedenfalls: saubere Leistung! :) die Soundtracks sind nicht alle leicht auf dem Klavier zu spielen, besonders bei parallelen Melodien und Spezialeffekte (wie bei Hot-Head Bop oder Disco Train), aber du hast es alles gut hinbekommen! ich bin auch ein großer Fan von Dave Wise und finde alle Tracks von DKC2 einfach nur hammermäßig ^^ ich bin schon gespannt auf seine Musik in Tropical Freeze, hab gelesen, er ist wieder dabei :)

[@Hermes_Plays]

[@DJZemix92]

LEGENDARY 10/10

[@tehemail.7062]

Can't even express in a comment all the things I have to say. DKC2 was my childhood and I do think it has possibly the best soundtrack of all time. You completely blew me away with your performance, played the songs with such accuracy that I didn't think possible on piano and inspired me to keep practicing so I can one day play all the dkc2 tunes like you. Really thank you.

[@GTA2SWcity]

How tf am I only finding this video just now?! You're good, crazy good!

[@antiochris1273]

YOU ARE THE BEST!!!!!!!!

[@ChellZelda]

This goes to show everyhody what true talent is.....I miss the 90s ..today everybody whats to just get paid qiuck and dont want to produce anything good from the heart and take there time..its a shame. Good job young man...shen you havd kids one day please teach thdm the value that you have learned....very nice!!

[@psychosolver]

I'm nostalgiaing so hard right now. When I hear this I remember all those countless hours playing DKC2 on my SNES. Thank you so much for this wonderful video.

[@joedaviseggy69]

This is the perfect culmination of the soundtrack. Great job, I especially love how you incorporated the death and victory themes in there!

[@breegull64]

It sounded BETTER? I expected it to be the worst since I didn't really know how to play it without making it sound empty. Thanks a lot for proving me wrong :)

Hot head bop (in game, done otherwise) sounds too peaceful given the setting.
