Donkey Kong Country (SNES) 101% Ending

[@grimgroove]

This ending always made me a bit emotional. Sad even, I don't know why. Must be the tune when they pass all the characters? Feels like a goodbye.

[@grimgroove]

grimgroove The only fix is to simply replay this game, again and again and again ....

[@robbiewalker2831]

grimgroove Too bad the GBA version ruined it. Good Opening, Bad Ending.

[@abdulqudz89]

+grimgroove the feels.... it's like looking back at old, fun, happy memories.

[@thaik56]

yet the game restarts and you can play it again, such a funny feeling, like your gf leaving you yet you're still together. haha

[@charlottepeterson3384]

i feel the same:(

[@stackhash]

The entire OST of Donkey Kong Country is a masterpiece

[@KapnKrowe]

2056. My family surrounds my bedside as I die of pancreatic cancer. Tearfully my grandchildren turn to hear my final words as the doctors move to cut my life support. "What is it, Grandpa?" "I DID THIS USING ONE LIFE! AND I TOOK LESS THAN AN HOUR!!!!" *life support machine* BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeppppp

[@cjdig86]

I’m 37 years old now.. this music and gameplay instantly gets me emotional. DKC1 and DKC2 were the only 2 games that ever really impressed my father. I sat in my room and played games from when I was 5, until pretty much when I moved out. My father never came into my room and actually watched me play any of my games during all of those years…. But …. These 2 games? He was fascinated. He couldn’t get over the music, and the graphics. I felt such intense happiness when he would watch me play these games. I’d go through each level with a smile on my face. Out of the thousands of gameplay videos I’ve watched on KZbin, this particular game is the one that makes me cry. My father’s been gone for almost 12 years now, and I have 2 sons of my own, a 2 year old and a newborn. I’m going to make sure I spend so much time with my kids, and show interest in their hobbies. My father didn’t show very much interest in mine, or spend much time with me. I know I’ve gone a bit deep with this comment, but that’s how good this game was, and still is to me. It reminds me of that intense happiness I had while playing it. It reminds me of my father. This single game holds so much power over me. I absolutely need to get a retro pi set up with emulators, just so I can relive those days. 😢

[@zanefell469]

liked.

[@milesmouse72]

I love this theme, it reminds me of the days of simpler games and inspired me to do 3d as a job, now I do it as a hobby, but it still makes me feel good to hear it again.

[@Desgraca_online]

Yes🍆

[@DancerInTheHeart]

This game was kind of ahead of its time. I would not doubt that for a minute it seemed like the 16 bit consoles were going to hold their own against the emerging 32 bit consoles. The graphics in this game were just so good that at a short glance they rival something like Clockwork Knight on the Saturn (just a random example).

[@coakleyontv]

Feeling so much nostalgia watching this in 2k16.. such an masterpiece! This Game won't be forgotten!

[@hanzohattori3388]

*Os olhos enchem de lágrimas... É um jogo que vou levar pro resto da vida. Várias lembranças...* 🇧🇷

[@tao_1]

DK and Diddy beating the crap out of each other is a nice sight.

[@accountnotusedanymore9119]

A rare one too. You mostly see them working together 😂

[@Dee_Nice89]

​@@accountnotusedanymore91193:43 DK: That's for steppin on my foot ya Knucklehead 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@JusticeForPottsvilleMaroons]

These bananas are what all true warriors strive for!

[@Sportiveman]

I'm crying for this game...I was 6...

[@LukeToTheHoop]

Never thought I could get this emotional over a video game.

[@Mightypoo007]

I get goosebumps and good memories when I hear the end credits music... I treasure those times. Donkey Kong Country: I am honored to have played the game in its release year. One of my favorite games ever.

[@iHamsterMusic]

I'm guessing a lot of people who have 100% needs to get the secret 3rd bonus on Oil Drum Alley.

[@ZERAtul89ita]

Oh, the sweet old times. Always the best time.

[@xXxChAmPoChOpxXx]

Wow Artificial Raven... Brings back memories...

[@nyven.7822]

This music is sad :(

[@mecheorr1orr831]

how much do you love this game what would you rate it

[@nyven.7822]

I put 17/20 !

[@kieranstark7213]

But unlike the sad songs of the trend of 2018, at least it’s sad in the most pitiful way!

[@simonmorley2934]

Winter light Linda Ronstadt. Sounds similar

[@StevenE-l9y]

It's a perfect mixture of sad and happy. When you're happy it happened but sad that's it over and this music fits that moment so well.

[@juanfercamacho]

I still play it!!!... great game, beautiful graphics and the music is amazing...

[@djlamar2]

DK: Hey guys watch this. *Walks over to Diddy Kong and messes with him* Diddy: What was that? *Donkey Kong smacks him* Donkey Kong: Got ya. Diddy Kong: You no good son of a.... *Bites DK* Serves you right.

[@redouanesadia2156]

Have been watching this in 2020 living abroad far away from home. Makes me feel so much nostalgic, the music at the end especially 😭 I didn't know there was a 101% ending 😳

[@DinnerForkTongue]

LOL at the Chomps Jr. and Squidgies part. Even more at Donkey's and Diddy's antics!

[@NightmareX7]

For its time, this game had some great graphics and gameplay. I miss this old game.

[@bushalla5]

How are you doing bro! Hope ur alright after 15 years👍

[@UberMan5000]

That different text was TOTALLY worth it!

[@hotdoggy854]

gotta love that 16 bit guitar noise at 1:22

[@DancerInTheHeart]

Tell me about it...it was just a short/long time ago. It still looks fresh,the music's awesome. The graphics' clean. This game won't die.

[@JHK23PS5]

Hello 15 years ago, I'm 42 and reliving this game on the Nintendo switch and have had more joy playing it than most new releases out today

[@kNIGHTWING01]

@earthmaster66 The Review or beat the game? I don't really remember. This video was so long ago man.

[@GreyWolfLeaderTW]

*Credits Starts *Citizen Kane clap for the staff at Rare who made this

[@GangsterJawa]

I love how the devs had a sense of humor with the squidges and chomps.

[@spinhook888]

I love the music in this game.

[@supercomicalbros3168]

I love listening to Super Mario RPG Forest music every time a click a video by Artificial Raven.

[@M4VTCNH2]

my favorite game when i bought the snes 10 yrs ago..well mega manX, DK2, mario kart, street fighter2, and killer instincs. i love this system.. has the best game..yeah best system

[@Ruudos]

There will be a "!" behind the level's name if you have find all secrets in it, if not there is still something left to be discovered.

[@nestermrcool]

So the only difference is some different dialogue from cranky

[@justarandomguy5088]

who else just beat this game when it just came out on switch?

[@JCTennisStuff]

i did

[@rogman22390]

I just beat the game, and checked this out to see what happens if you get everything. so glad i didnt shoot for it

[@SeanDS89]

Roger seriously... the only difference is Cranky says your almost as good as him. What a reward lol

[@mjbdvp]

I was always stuck on 99% lol, lockdown boredom made me check this out...but yeah, real anticlimax! At one point there was a rumour that the original Donkey Kong game was hidden in here somewhere..now THAT would have been worthwhile..

[@SecretAgentJonathon]

I always got this ending whenever I beat Donkey Kong Country. I'd never beat K. Rool without exploring every last inch of the levels.

[@Dralos2004]

Can you imagine getting old? Dying in front of family? We all humans might eventually go. And so will you.

[@Artificialraven]

It's a remix of the super mario rpg forest maze song.

[@ssjup81]

OMG! I heard that rumor too! About the "secret banana" level. I was just much older than you when I got that game, though. I was like 14 or something. lol

[@simonmorley2934]

Winter light - Linda Ronstadt Since I was a child I always connected the ending of dkc1 and the secret garden because the music is the fucking same I swear

[@larsleo1]

feels like i need to dust of my old SNES :) and just revive some old memories :D

[@Magix1reaper]

Manky kong you traitor!

[@GamerMomma2]

Love this game!!!

[@fonsecajunior1]

..haha..wow..even playing this as a kid, i always thought how cheesy it was that the bosses were basically king size versions of regular bad guys..

[@rmkingsman5789]

3:44 donkey kong punches diddy kong and diddy fucking dies

[@Artificialraven]

Cranky Kong says different stuff in this one.

[@AleZaTar]

I can't believe Diddy Kong is fucking dead

[@welcometomoonbar]

Your reward for finding every single bonus level: Cranky mentions it. That's all. No Lost Worlds, no Krematoa, just...Cranky mentions it. And you can see 101% beside your file. That's lame.

[@EarlFaulk]

Yeah they had to do what they could with the space they had. Its not like they had the equivalent of 600MB to play around with

[@ssjup81]

Seems Cranky just praises you for finding everything. If I'm remembering right, as it's been a long time since I've played and beaten this (I never had 100%), and if you are under 100%, he pretty much goes on about how you could've done better.

[@LemmingsMaster]

Darn, the credits end, ending the music with it, during the repeating of the best part of the music.

[@duh_its_reed]

3:43 child abuse

[@kangax]

@ssjup81 i was talking about the DKC1 only ofc ... in my opinion the 2nd and the third games were the best DKs ever ... just amazing and i love almost all the levels in them ... the pirate ship, the volcano, the rollercoasters, the castle lvls in the 2nd game, the ghost forests, the secret island world amazing game.... and the 3rd game ... awesome awesome ... the rocket level the factory levels, the snow levels, the castle in the end ... ahhh sweet sweet memories :D

[@Flotonic]

@Artificialraven (and Booyakasha976) Actually, the game has been beat before using only one life and in under an hour. I Googled it and found a video speedrun. 0.o All items were collected and all bonus games were successfully done. Just decided to point that out. Very interesting. (One of the main developers of the game did so in a quicker time, too. Maybe Cranky was modeled after the guy...)

[@rashiba]

Lol krusha...i thought funny to stomp on their heads and hear the sound they make XD

[@noremains1499]

I beat it 1 life and an hour 4 minutes on the switch port just now. Very easy when you can rewind lol.

[@Rascarrr]

Doesnt sound like a lot of fun, though.....

[@doddsino]

@Artificialraven Using a glitch to save often with Candy, your time doesn't carry over when you reset...so let's say you have been playing 15 minutes and 45 seconds, when you reset, you'll start at 15 minutes, so it IS possible to beat it under an hour 101% if you're a good player and can utilize this. I'm sure you could do it without the glitch, but it's extremely hard. I've beaten the game twice under an hour.

[@ssjup81]

I have no idea. I know for a fact that I probably missed tons of stuff when I originally played. Last year, I found another copy of DKC (since I lost my original years ago) on EBay and tried to play it. Still no 100% and no idea as to what to do to figure out what was missed. At least with DKC 2, a good indicator that you missed something can be determined through the amount of DK coins you find, and if you open up all tolls to the lost world.

[@dagamer1234]

Ha, I remember this ending, beating it with my sisters. Good times really

[@kangax]

@ssjup81 aha i see thanks. I was so a kid back then and i didnt know english sooo :D Any ideas on how to check whether you have missed anything on a given level ? like in the 3rd game: the flag...

[@NazTb0y]

@ANBU96 I like the sequel a bit more myself. why did you buy a snes, when you could have downloaded it along with the games for free? ever played Sparkster for snes? another classic side-scroller.

[@Yaeven]

Well,there are bonus barrels AND rooms.Basically,everything that's secret you need to get.

[@KevinBendinger]

never seen a lovelyíer game untill now, maybe only shadow of the colossus. Games are not about guns and blood, there are about atmosphere!

DONKEY KONG COUNTRY 1 SNES ENDING artificialraven

[@Eberheim22231-p]

Me And Julio Film 101% Ending Guiliani: I Hate You Two So Much Me And Julio Me And Julio: We Love You Too ???: [EVIL LAUGH]

[@DeimosComaBlack]

@Artificialraven It is possible (very much so with TAS), but you have to be one hell of a dedicated speedrunner (there is a comprehensive guide for such an attempt too, which aims at around the 46-minute mark). Cranky says the same damn thing anyway.

[@NazTb0y]

@ANBU96 I do think RKA for Genesis is arguably a better game (just finished beating that on emulator). If by bad-ass, you mean nerdy, then I wholeheartedly agree that owning the stuff is the way to go. For me, playing the stuff on emulators is nerdy enough. I have thought about buying USB controllers to play them with, but that's about as far as I'll go on the nerd-scale.

[@fatlinexxx]

16 bit is Awsome I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE FUCKING LOVE THIS THEME

[@kangax]

@ssjup81 yeah i agree... I remember i had 96% initially then i REPLAYED the whole game again and it went to 98% then i was totally mad and started playing the more "cheesy" levels like the crystal cave and the fuel ramp in the mines jumping in all the empty spaces :D :D :D i remember i was really frustrated, since someone told me there was a "secret" banana level when u got 100% It was supposed to be below your home ... I was 7/8 at that time :D

[@CountryDude18]

Thumbs UP if YOU KNOW THAT Dong KONG HAS THE BEST BGM EVER!!!!

[@ssjup81]

That would be nice. DK64 was off storywise, but was still kind of fun to play, though challenging compared to the others. I also wished that Dixie would've been in the game, or at least acknowledged or referenced in-game. Kiddy Kong too. I didn't care for the third game at all. Ironically, I never owned this one. When I finally told my folks for Christmas, "Mom, dad, I want DKC 3 this year." They were all, "okay." I got an N64 instead. lol The only way I played DKC 3 was from renting it.

[@over9000Gokus]

you actually can beat it in an hour, you just aren't able to get a 101% doing it though. Cranky Kong is always talking shit as well XD

[@jay_cee583]

101%... I think this is the game where I got to 100% and thought that I had gotten everything. When I got to the end, nothing changed. I felt disappointed and gave the game away. If only I knew there was just one last barrel left to get...

[@Artificialraven]

yeah cranky talks more trash and says your nowhere near as good as him if you don't get 101%

[@Dralos2004]

Can I imagine being old and dead in my bed in front of my wife and kids telling me...... "Yes Hon I shall miss you and so shall our children. May our children grow up to be fine adults. 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢. Me? I cry before I die. Sorry but there is no way to change our past,present, future times.

[@alextepetateable]

So the game ends at 50%??

[@godfatherhat]

@Booyakasha976 actually theres glitches to do it, i saw it on youtube

[@jmyle6224]

1 life less than 1hr challenge, remember you can still play with 0 life! Does that mean 1 life is two?

[@matijasjovan7487]

Sehr berührTT

[@Happytreefriendsfan3]

damn even to this day i always ROFL so hard when i see cranky hitting DK xD

[@rabbidplaythroughs]

@Booyakasha976 i think the world record for 100% speed run is 45 minutes

[@NintendoxFighter]

@Artificialraven It IS possible, but Cranky would have had to use Tool Assists. Of course, he couldn't have found all the secrets, beaten the bosses, AND not lose a life in a straight run. That's just ludicrous.

[@kangax]

:) I wish they do another sidescrolling DKC game ... the graphics, still are really cool for a sidescroller ... I kinda wondered what happened after the 3rd game ? because as far as i know the 4th (the Nintendo 64) is not story connected...

[@mopbrothers]

What does the SNR stand for in Master Necky?

[@Yaeven]

You need to find all the bonus rooms.

[@sloopjohnb324]

I beat this game in one hour and twenty minutes. Of course, that was after taking a week to beat it the first time. :0

[@SohakmetGameplay]

well... they don't give you anything special for beating it 101% but goddamn. Only the credits music make it worth it.

[@JEANCARLOSROMERO-XS1DH]

QUE BELLOS RECUERDOS 😭😭😭😭😭

[@johnburgh]

That tune at 0:50, does it have a name?

[@newtrog.367]

It's called bonus win, I know kind of under welming

[@kangax]

whats the difference between this and the 98% ending i got ? i cant spot any difference ... besides how do u check where and what have you missed in DK1 ?

[@kangax]

@ssjup81 :D my fav bad guys were the tough crocs ... :D and i liked the levels in the oil plant :D oh yeah and the crystal cave ... ofc

[@marcelmonterol]

2019

[@Juanpasaenz]

wow... the music.

[@energie030303]

what donkey kong is it that u go threw mountins and then have to fight a squid i cant remember

[@applejuiceZOMG]

@Artificialraven Maybe, if you're a really badass player, you could beat it with one life, but probably not under one hour.

[@ExplorerDS6789]

That's really just Cranky bragging about how good a player he is...or how good he thinks he is.

[@TheMinarus]

Is it normal I only have 52% Isn't there another Island or something...It end after You defeat the Crokodile King right?

[@nathanlj204]

3:30

[@ssjup81]

I was talking about DKC too, not the second or third one. I /was/ about 13 or 14 when DKC came out. lol

[@Lumpytoast]
