Still can't get over how good the graphics for this game were for the SNES

[@Cjmaverick77]

This game was truly ahead of its time - gameplay, graphics and soundtrack.

[@choronos]

The soundtracks are amazing too for all 3 games.

[@ulti-mantis]

This game looks beautiful, especially in a CRT monitor. The GBA port on the other hand looks absolutely terrible, especially the area maps they decided to redo completely...

[@rjcorreia3788]

@@choronos yes, David wise is a genius, however alot of people think that dkc3's ost is the weakest for David did half the tracks while the rest was by someone else

[@sergioguerrero8570]

Ikr, transparency color scheme and everything else is great. And the music is really good it fits the game real well even though it wasn't really composed by David Wise, still think it rocks

[@deadnatsu8202]

It is absolutely weird. Every time I stumble across vo0ID running this game, I have to lay back and watch the run. Last year, he inspired me to break my own record. I will probably never reach his level of dkc3 skill, because I am lazy and stuff, but I managed to get a decent time for a casual thanks to him and his tricks

[@supernintendochalmers6628]

Underrated game in the DKC franchise. It's not quite as good as the GOAT diddy's Kong-quest, but I actually play it more often than the OG.

[@tuskoub]

Aside from the nonstop tidal wave of in-jokes, very cool run and definitely one of the best couch crews I’ve ever seen

[@juggarnaut64]

I still play this game to this day, and this is the first I've heard about Kiddy Kong's ability to skip on water. To get the Bonus barrel in the river level I did some very precise Kong throws. I always wondered why it was so difficult. lol I mean I think I read the manual?

[@blujay1608]

Kiddy skip was very difficult for me as a child. I could get it once in awhile, but the input is pretty precise for a 13 year old in 1999.

[@sumadronga]

How do you play it? It's really hard to get a hold of a ROM of any snes game by Nintendo now a days. I have the game for my snes, but the cartridge is out of battery, so it can't hold a save.

[@rivetsquid8887]

@@sumadronga nintendo switch online users can play all three for free. Also many retro game shops could point you to someone with the skills to fix that cart if youd rather not do it yourself.

You can use dixie and ponytail twirl as well as v0oid does. Something I found out much later in life after also struggling with kiddy skip as a child lol.

It's always great to see DKC3 at GDQ. I can't believe 103% has never been run here before! Now I really hope we see Donkey Kong Country Returns next GDQ. It's been _waaaaaaaaay_ too long since we last saw that game. 100% preferably. Also, what's with all the rolling deep?

[@xocity9622]

[@lucania101710]

[@TheZenytram]

Best DK game of all.

[@twikki9071]

Possibly the best looking game on the Super Nintendo? It’ll certainly always have a special place in my heart, that’s for sure. Kiddie Kong might be a annoying brat, but he’s still a badass!

[@PieInTheSky9]

Love when skybilz is on donations, she adds so much to every run!

[@fade0202]

didn't know about that secret level at the end, awsome

[@8dreadLock8]

Nintendo games age like fine wine. Truely incredible.

[@Space_Ache]

The Donkey Kong Country games have aged especially well. The graphics they created for these games were so ahead of their time. There is a really cool documentary about the making of these games. If I remembered the name I would share but I am almost certain it is on youtube.

[@jessehcreative]

Glad my donation got read. So happy we made 3.2 mil! Wonderful run all around.

Also, I didn't know that the green bananas could only spawn a certain number of times in each location or that you could tell which direction the electricity in the second K. Rool battle was coming from. Huh.

[@supernintendochalmers6628]

Squitter was always my favorite animal buddy, but snes controllers had such poor trigger response that his full potential was pissed away. 😞

[@OOboy998]

I could never beat this game so why not watch it be done extremely fast

[@Tremuoso]

black sheep of the DK snes trilogy but it has it's own unique vibe and special place to me. just cuz of my age in relation to when the games came out, I played this one the most when it was current. great run

[@TajMahalGaming]

V0oid is sickkkkkkkkkkk

[@aloneinthelight7754]

One of the things I never undestard is why in rocket rush there is that banana arrow poiting up at the benning of the level? Anyway, awesome run, I love DKC trilogy :)

[@carlosernestochacon7330]

V0oid takes imposible things and turns them V0oidsible.

[@Red88Rex]

In the 90s these games were comparable to Mario as platformers. It's possible I liked DKC2 more than any mario game! This one is so fun as well

[@TwistedMetal32]

The bonus at 46:46, it seems the devs forgot to put an urchin in there.

[@Zalis116]

That it's the lumberjacks from The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past doing the sawing.

[@youtubeobserver]

@@Zalis116 Do you know where they confirmed that? That’s pretty cool

[@rivetsquid8887]

What happened during Murky Mill? It looked like he quit out to overworld and the level was just completed. I've replayed it a couple times and I'm not sure if I'm missing a warp barrel or what

[@ameliawocher1414]

Can someone help me out, I can't seem to make out what was said at 27:30 "It's 28 days til [something]" but someone on the couch corrects her, and I can't tell what is being said.

[@FourthDerivative]

It's supposed to be "Allerlei Geschrei" (AHL-er-lie guh-SHRY, roughly), which is the German translation of the level Squeals On Wheels. You can also hear the couch guy saying it when V0oid enters the level at 15:10. Why they're referencing it as if it's an upcoming holiday, I have no idea. Presumably an inside joke of some kind. EDIT: It just dawned on me that this run took place on January 6, which is 28 days before February 3- which corresponds to the level's position in the game (World 2, Level 3). Still don't fully understand why that's specifically a thing, but there you go.

[@micah0kilgallin]

Why do they keep mentioning "ROLLIN?" I hate not getting inside jokes. Bcz kiddy Kong rolls?

[@user-jk6rp5xh3n]

It's about rolling off the ledge before jumping as deep as you can. "Rolling deep"

[@The_ultimate_catmom]

I may have missed it, but what does 103% consist of? I see he isn't getting all the bananas or letters so just wondering?

[@Space_Ache]

He is getting everything but those things.

[@frank_lotion_]

DKC 1 2 and 3 count the percentage of completion from levels, bonus stages and DK coins; not bananas, kremcoins or Kong letters

[@maxthompson7107]

Is there a reason why the text for the game is in French?

[@DarkestDion]

How did the Krimp died at 31:58?

[@istaffa]

I think it was the squitter the spider throw a web projectile, but there was so many sprites loading, that the web sprite didn't loaded properly.

[@hubertboisvertboucher2071]

Is there a particular reason why they chose to set the game to french ?

[@muzzilaneous440]

I think less text lines

[@frank_lotion_]

Also, v0oid is from Quebec, probably the cartridge he had growing up or something

[@gonxmaster]

1:36:54 why did he let the croc bite him? I mean he loses some frames by it, does he do it for anything in particular? Or just messed up

[@anankozspeedruns3818]

He does that to fix the kong order. You enter the Ellie barrel with Dixie in front, but you want Kiddy in front for the next stage.

[@guilhermeborges1649]

When i was a kid i used to take hours to defeat the spider boss lol

[@TheMartianGeek]

Why is it the French version?

[@jrlepage2a03]

The North American version lets you choose between English and French. I believe French is faster because of shorter dialogues, but don't quote me on that. It's also possible V0oid chose French because he is from French Canada.

[@BalboaBaggins]

Because it has less text, and thus is faster.

[@kayorego6420]

I think the audience choose the language

[@TheKitkat92]

How can it be 103% if he don't collect all the Kong letters?

[@carlos_aapf]

The kong letters does not count

[@Zebo12345678]

Kong letters only get you a 1-up, they don't contribute to the full completion.

[@sariathebrave5259]

Why do the DKC games have better graphics than the Nintendo 64

[@bombabombom3603]

Because they're pre-rendered down-scaled images taken from a 3D modeling engine running on expensive and large processing hardware. And the N64 games were made on the exact same hardware, the only reason why it doesn't look as great is due to the console using a LOT less memory than other consoles.

[@wirti94]

coz' it's a late SNES game and set in 2D. Nintendo 64 had 3D games in initial phase, that looks now a bit outdated.

[@sariathebrave5259]

Madzlick Chinatown very interesting
