[@bigdrippy4104]

It's been confirmed by the Ex-Rare devs, now known as Playtonic, that Mr X was replaced by Cackle.

[@mariajimenafigueroa8311]

Maybe creepy Mr. X was the unsued boss of the Stronghold Showdown

[@JMGO]

[@mariajimenafigueroa8311]

@@JMGO Oops! Thanks.

[@archaichobo6969]

there are no words to express how much I miss Rare. Come back Rare, we miss you.

[@evanarmstorng4717]

its too late my friend, Rare is now the slave of the evil corporate empire called Microsoft

[@misterkyler]

Rare was truly Rare.

[@RCynic75]

nave712 I would be able to find solace if Microsoft actually gave them a little autonomy to make great games like they used to. Forcing them to develop nothing but Kinect titles makes me feel a little sick.

[@stephendiloreto8422]

Kill Smith You don't have to worry. I miss Rare too, but Retro Studios made Donkey Kong Country Returns and Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze and those games are amazing DKC games.

[@darsparx]

would be nice if they did especially to the nintendo side of things somehow...I've never been a big fan of xbox and while I do want to play the re-released banjo games I just can't bring myself to buy a xbox to play them. Kinda sad though that nintendo has all the rights to dk64 yet they don't re-release it....I'd buy that day one...one of the best rare games next to starfox adventures...

[@Luxray2009]

Imagine if Nintendo had bought 100% of Rare instead of just 49%..........

[@Luxray2009]

Exactly, Imagine if there was a fantastic Donkey Kong 64 type game for GameCube and another for the Wii. plus Donkey Kong Country 4. At least we eventually got Donkey Kong country 4 and 5 from Retro.

[@Luxray2009]

How? You mean because Retro studios is making Donkey Kong country games now?

[@Luxray2009]

***** Unfortunately, Microsoft owns 100% of Rare so they can't come back unless Nintendo buys them, even so, Its too late anyway, Microsoft replaced all of the employees with there own. Rare is completely talentless now and Its a completely different company with none of the original employees.

[@The17Games]

***** Maybe Nintendo can hire the people who worked at rare in 1994 1995 and so on

[@Luxray2009]

The17Games That would take forever though, If they do, I hope they transfer them all to Retro so Retro can start having multiple teams working on multiple games at once. Although, I heard that Retro has some former Rare employees anyway.

[@DarkDesertRose]

I don't know why, but I feel like Yungtown's voice fits these trivia type things the best.

[@FunkyGhost37]

Funny enough, in the Wii U re-release, it's still "One hell of a guy".

[@gustavopaz1645]

MarcsterS Perhaps they simply realized it's something ultimately harmless

[@SumeaBizarro]

Gustavo Paz Or, Rare's got the source code and it would be hard to edit the game in any way without their help.

[@carlbloke8797]

+Gustavo Paz (K2L) how is saying that harmless?

[@carlbloke8797]

That's not what they said on the Wii U release

[@Untitled_Niamiko]

Because "hell" isn't a swear word outside of the United States.

[@morethanben]

Aquatic Ambience is one of the most beautiful music tracks.

[@zeko771]

Well, of course Mr. X wasn't in the game. He really wasn't ever seen anywhere. It makes sense to me

[@mariajimenafigueroa8311]

Mr. X is so scary

[@zacharymangels182]

I watched all of these *Did you know gamings* in a row, and then my brain turned to yogurt

[@SegaNintendoGuy64]

So they went with the SNES release of DKC 2 instead of making it on the Virtarl Boy.. Best move Rareware has ever made.

[@DidYouKnowGamin]

There's a lot of cut content that has too much information attached to it to be covered in a DYKG episode. Leftovers isn't as fast paced, and will be more in-depth. DYKG is still going to feature some of the more easily explained cut content.

[@TheRedCap]

danky kang

[@BiFoxxo]

If I was in the 1990's, I would have said "Lord save us if we get Donkey Kong Country 2 on the Virtual Boy."

[@justinthyme4it]

Damn you Microsoft, Damn you, give Rare back to the public and allow it to be independent.

[@uzumaki0naruto]

This guy has a great voice for narration.

[@ChiefToymaker]

Microsoft ruins everything.

BANGO KAZOOIE NUT & BOLTS!!!!!!

[@hristaki99]

drybones 02ZD Minecraft was ruined a long time ago.

[@hristaki99]

drybones 02ZD No, I mean Mojang ruined it back in the Beta 1.8 with the addition of the hunger meter. Since then, they've been making only bad decisions.

[@ChiefToymaker]

I've never played minecraft, but I thought it started to look bad when they made a bunch of watered down console versions which made the game too accessible for, and appealing to, kids. now it seems like a kids thing.

[@tariqdotpng546]

No... No not Mojang

[@pktidal8282]

I got an ad for DKCTF for this vid XD

[@grantisshananaa4906]

This Trilogy has the best music in games. The absolute pinnacle of true gaming music. None of this 1000 people spending hours on cut scenes, just music that brought the beautiful environments to life. The only thing that makes me feel like a kid again I swear to god lol.

[@Warpshard]

While I am kind of sad that Jon couldn't record this episode, I always like the videos with Yungtown. His voice is so nice to listen to.

[@SGCSmithy]

Grant Kirkhope is a BOSS

[@cerealbird6384]

have you seen him play with the grumps?

[@SGCSmithy]

yup

[@boomerang2455]

Killer Instinct Did You Know Gaming?

[@KaTzaNdSTuFf]

I like when this guy narrates. The best way I know how to put it is that he can really make some of the history sound mysterious and almost a tad creepy. I like it!

[@PowerStruggle555]

I had once heard that Cranky was the Donkey Kong in the original game and DK was jr

[@kirbyofthestarsfan]

***** It's official.

[@cyruscrompton8221]

***** its official, and they always put little references with him in the Donkey Kong games.

[@megaburritozero]

Thomas Zulli I had to argue with some guy about it. But, I found hard evidence when playing Super Smash Bros. Brawl, with a taunt easter egg in Shadow Moses Island with Snake and Donkey Kong.

[@chuckarin1365]

The relationships actually go like this: Original DK (Cranky) > DK Jr. > Modern DK (DK the 3rd).

[@Made_In_Heaven88]

''A world without the genius of 2 of David Wise's best tracks, Aquatic Ambience & Stickerbush Symphony???'' : - 0 I don't even want to think about it!! Xp

[@orangy57]

My version of Donkey Kong 64 still has Chunky called "one hell of a guy."

[@megaburritozero]

orangy57 You and everyone else who owns the game. Congrats.

[@megaburritozero]

***** I see what you did there...

[@alexbianchi93]

I agree with you. DK 64 is in my top 10 games of all time! Yeah you may have had to "repeat" a level 5 times but with each character it was always something unique to add. That game never gets old!

[@typeraver]

Love your work, investigative, informative and hits the right nostalgia buttons in me!

[@marin909.]

I hate Microsoft at times...

[@athanpapas9026]

"I hate them all the time," said user as he was typing on a computer with a Windows OS.

[@marin909.]

Athan Papas I don't know if you learned how to read yesterday or something, but I said "at times" not "all the time." Double check comments before you bullshit about them.

[@athanpapas9026]

I was talking about me.

[@uncoolbug9055]

Mine says hell of a guy

[@001athf]

the way it should be

[@parkersandahl3949]

Aquatic ambiance is one of my favorite video game songs ever

[@apollorock3r244]

3:10 Many years later, Banjo and Kazooie would end up in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, reuniting with Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong after many years.

[@mikauanaki4866]

Is the whole "Expand Dong" thing from the DK64 expansion pack thing?

You're in luck, one arrived a month ago. I hope there can eventually be a Part 2 to that someday.

[@mcknife25]

dat stickerbush symphony.. my god hours of my childhood spent basking in the paused glory of that blessing of an anthem. nostalgia is a helluva drug

[@supergamerxda.k.azabuza4031]

Stickerbrush symphony is my favorite video game theme of them all

[@PerfectBlade20]

But donkey Kong and the others with guns would have been cool.....

[@spyroG3]

4:19 About Funky's theme in DKC 1, it is likely that the theme was originally composed for Killer Instinct. That would explain why it is the only theme composed by Robin Beanland in Donkey Kong Country.

[@TMIATC]

Stickerbrush symphony is still one of my favorite video game tracks. It's so relaxing, how can you not like it!?

[@weepingwillowp]

Mr.X sounds like an edgy Donkey Kong OC you'd find on Deviantart

[@Babosadewally]

I want to see another DK game made by rare :`(

[@ASleepwalkingNation]

DYKG is so brilliant. You helped inspire us to make videos.

[@civoreb]

Lockjaw's Saga, Jib Jig and Stickerbush Symphony are examples of some of the best music from the SNES era.

[@snorfix]

My wifi crashed when he said the game would randomly crash

[@austin5623isawesome]

maybe your router needs the ram expansion pak :)

[@roguet5432]

I hav the hell line in the DK rap

[@Scourge728]

cool

[@SaekoBlayde]

When the ties to Banjo were mentioned, I honestly thought they were going to mention that there is actually a track in DK64 that is borrowed for Banjo Tooie. In the giant tent in Witchy World, you can hear music that is featured in DK64 as the Balloon T-Rex is blowing up. This track is usually heard when K. Rool makes an appearance in the game (Or so I seem to remember).

[@ChipRobertsOfficial]

Did you know: The "Hi-yah!" in the Funky Flights theme is a sample taken from The System song "The Pleasure Seekers."

[@yungtown]

haha. :)

[@maxwillson]

I never knew Donky Kong could be so politically correct! Ahahaha

[@sammylane21]

I'd love to see a KILLER INSTINCT,DONKEY KONG,BATTLE TOADS and BANJO KAZOOIE cross over,as all 4 were made by RARE.

[@Tsuta]

This channel is fascinating. Good job!

[@ASleepwalkingNation]

DYKG + Yungtown = happy life. You guys helped inspire us to make videos.

[@ScottDavid7]

And now I want a Banjo Kazooie/Donkey Kong crossover game. Thanks for that.

[@Hirosashii]

Wow, Stickerbrush Symphony was almost scrapped? That's such a bummer. Thank you for not scrapping such a masterpiece of a track.

[@Drforrester31]

I love learning about songs from the DKC soundtrack. They make for such great listening while driving around in the car

[@derk723]

FUCKING STICKER BUSH IS THE BEST SONG EVER IN ANY DONKEY KONG I would've been so disappointed if it wasn't in the game.

[@Dilemma009]

DK is my childhood game. Love seeing it.

[@BetaNights]

I'm glad the Stickerbush Symphony and Aquatic Ambience tunes made it into the game... They are so beautiful! :D And seriously, I respect Grant Kirkhope so much now. Not only for his work in some of my favorite games ever, but for all the little things he did in the games, like Mumbo's voice and DK and all that... Thanks, Game Grumps! xD And thank you, Yungtown!

[@macjsus]

STICKERBUSH SYMPHONY was my FAV. SO glad they got it in there.

[@tyronetiggums6441]

Grant Kirkhope also did some of the voices for Banjo Kazooie. He did the voices for Mumbo and the talking pots in Mad Monster Mansion that say "Thaaank yoooooou". Grant revealed some very interesting stories from when he still worked for Nintendo in his interview with the Game Grumps.

[@Kneegrows22]

I still recall when Banjo-Kazooie was advertised on Fruit by the Foot boxes. It sure has been a good amount of time, I don't see any video game characters advertised like these classic icons were. This was also back when stickers and toys came in cereal boxes, and water tattoos came with the fruit snacks.

[@Pabmyster]

Two of the best songs in dk and nintendo history- neigh, all of video games, weren't going to be included in their games? I cant imagine my life without hearing either of those. i have a playlist dedicated to just aquatic ambiance remixes

[@Cryogenicmonkey]

3:41 That island always makes me think of coco puffs and why aren't I eating coco puffs right now?

[@Somatrasiel]

Jesus fuck. Jesus fuck nostalgia. I used to wake up as a child and play the super nintendo version every morning on Saturday. It was like a ritual-wake up, play game and mother shouts "TURN IT DOWN" from bedroom. Brought a tear to my eye.

[@8bitKatwalk]

The people that created killer instinct created donkey kong, there is a vhs video that was randomly sent which showed the development of donkey kong , the end showed a hidden room where a new game, killer instinct was being played. This is something you guys should look for.

[@TheNatkidd]

A worker from Nintendo that was helping Rare make those games stated that Donkey Kong 64 was indeed suppose to have a connection to Banjo Kazooie and Banjo Tooie for Stop N Swop such as the Ice Key. The way they would do this was in the cave level from DK64, but they rejected it because it was too hard to do it. Even in testing, however the he stated that its in the game. But its blocked and you can't get through it.

[@Karmarsi]

I remember singing the rap while at my grandmother's house as a child and got scolded. She disliked that they had used "Hell" in the game. Still a fun song to sing!

[@ExitWoundz1]

"This was done to avoid controversy".... lmfao.

[@gabrielproteus3172]

Another fun fact about DKC composer David Wise sampled wave sequences from the Korg Wavestation onto many DKC tracks.

[@DuskForte]

A lot of these I did not know, this was very interesting to watch.

[@Aalata]

"Diddy, you young pup! Boy, I can't believe how much you've grown! You wouldn't know a good game if you were in it!"

[@Rusaarules]

Diddy Kong Racing makes me rage like no one's business.

[@gvmeboycolor]

So glad they didn't remove the aquatic song, it was my favorite song from dokeny Kong country :) and brings back memories

[@jmeister7482]

They should make a Donkey Kong 64 Remake, but only time will tell

[@SuperPiposaru]

"Oh God, is there a Version, like, sitting there in the Rare Archives?" -Arin (Egoraptor) (Grump)

[@keyskeyboard]

Man, I spent a good chunk of my childhood watching my cousin play Donkey Kong 64

[@landonsmith7057]

The DK rap is now uncensored on the Wii U Virtual Console

[@skeith804]

"Later versions of the rap" Not sure if they made later cartridges with the censor, but the DK Rap in Super Smash Bros Melee said "heck of a guy". I believe this is what was being referred to in the video.

[@PwnedU13itch]

Man, those David Wise songs gave me chills when I heard them.

[@Violent_Wolfen]

Another thing about Mr. X was in an American version of Nintendo Power he was known as Krooka and supposed to have been a boss in the Stronghold Showdown area, which of course didn't happen. Of course this is going off of memory, I'd have to dig up the magazine again to be sure.

[@deadjames3]

All of them do, what he meant by later versions of the rap were censored was that the version used on both Super Smash Bros. Melee, and Brawl were censored.

[@BeauSkunk]

Boy, I didn't know there were going to be Mario characters in "Diddy Kong Pilot." (Shame said game had to be scrapped...) As a kid I always wanted Nintendo to let Rare make a Mario game. Also, one thing that is kinda wrong in the video is, they DID have underwater levels in DKC2, only they took place in sunken ship holds, and weren't outside the ships. So the "Stickerbrush Symphony" track wouldn't of suited them. Glad they got to keep the song though, as it is one of the best DKC themes. (So popular, they even used in SSB Brawl.)

[@Shin_FTW]

Which is why I chose them both for my custom menu music on my hacked Brawl, along with a passable forest track from DK Country 3 :D

[@sprafa71]

i dont care what game is next all i want is more DYKG videos at week!

[@ronalddonald6935]

My god, no wonder why those 2 music tracks sounded so magical.

[@Dilemma009]

Dk2 = favorite game man sound track carries it so well

[@TheNthPhoenix]

DYKT: The unused fanfare for the Secret Stop N Swop Eggs is used when DK enters the boss levels, or at least a slight retooling of the Stop N Swop Fanfare is heard? Kinda makes the B-K Connections with DK64 more solid.

[@soundtestmenu]

Also all of the graphics and sounds carried over.

[@zacharykim295]

4:01 LOL jump fail

[@polarity345]

im so glad stickerbush symphony and aquatic ambience made it in the games!

[@groxgroxy4851]

Did you know? There was at one point a donkey kong game called "Donkey Kong Racing" It was for the gamecube,The game was scrapped due to microsoft buying rare and rare not having the rights to donkey kong

[@poser_disposer]

That's cool that Fungi Forest was originally a BK level, it looks so much like one at times, and it makes sense why 10 of the jiggies are in the overworld.

[@OxBigly2010]

In the vhs promo tape a Rare developer mentioned the Kremlings where intended for a different game but they where added to DKC. It would be awesome to find out what game they where originally intended for.

[@PointThree]

Cheaper than a normal one, no hinges no breaking and no useless feature. Seems like a fine product with me.

[@BloodRedFox2008]

I think you guys should make a part 3 covering stuff from the more recent games since these first two focused a lot on the older DK games. For example in DKC Returns on Wii, Retro confirmed they were going to include more levels similar to the silhouette ones, with one of the levels being based on the Virtual Boy and it's red and black color scheme, but were scrapped for time reasons. A video covering DKC Returns would be good for coinciding with the upcoming Wii U sequel, DKC Tropical Freeze.

[@xOzone69]

I've played new and old zelda and mario games, have only played the old metroid games, but all of those games have had big changes in gameplay since then.

[@docbrown3405]

I love that they show the worst thing about this game in the few seconds of gameplay: the jump-to-hanging-rope-but-depth-is-broken-in-game-so-you-go-through-it scenario. Seen @4:03

[@YourCrazyDolphin]

Funny thing is, both diddy kong racing and banjo pilot were games I grew up with.

[@deanky]

that feel when someone says hell when you're playing video games and you're thinking "oh god did mom hear that"
