[Longplay] SNES - Donkey Kong Country [101%] (4K, 60FPS)

Played by xRavenXP (me)
THANKS FOR 5K SUBS!
This is the video of the game Donkey Kong Country, platform game in 2D developed by Rare and published by Nintendo for the SNES in November of 1994. In Japan this game is called Super Donkey Kong.
Starring the character Donkey Kong, the game takes place on "Donkey Kong Island" where six regions with different environments are explored, and the plot revolves around Donkey Kong and his nephew Diddy Kong, who must recover their treasure of bananas stolen by King K. Rool and the Kremlings. After checking the empty banana hiding place, located just below his house in Kongo Jungle, Donkey Kong embarks on an adventure in his native land, Donkey Kong Island. While collecting bananas in different regions of the island, Donkey Kong must defeat several enemies, including the reptilian Kremlings, as well as other dangerous creatures native to the island. Helping him in his quest are some of the other Kongs in the family: Diddy accompanies Donkey Kong on his adventure, Cranky provides tips (and comic relief), Candy operates the recording points around the island, and Funky provides transportation. Also supporting Donkey Kong on certain occasions are several 'animal colleagues' (the Rambi rhino, the Exotic Ostrich, the Enguarde swordfish, the Winky frog, and the Parrot Squawks), each with different abilities.
After an intense advertising campaign, the original version for the SNES sold more than 9 million copies, making it the second best selling game on the platform. The game was a revolution in graphics for its time, the first to contain 32 megabits in the Super Nintendo cartridge, with pre-rendered textures in 3D models and a great soundtrack, proving that the SNES was still a strong competitor in the market . It is undoubtedly an incredible game! The entire video was made finding all bonus stages and K-O-N-G letters, totaling 101% of the percentage.!

This game just holds so much sentimental value to me. Me and my mom used to play this as a kid and when I herd the we’re level music I started crying. Love this game❤️

[@gomezalejandrog]

Same man. Good times.

[@treyvonwilliams]

I'll never forget this was my first video game to play as a kid.

[@crexvy3277]

me too!

@@CPUMaster500 i don't want any gold medal or anything.

[@jeffdeming8811]

Also to anyone who may not know.. in the ostrich bonus level where you collect as many little ostriches as you can, if you go to that big wall at the far end and jump up over the wall then run across there is a 2x multiplier

[@dana7553]

Always remember reading the reviews in either Club Nintendo or the official Nintendo magazine and thinking blimey, this game is graphically miles ahead of anything. RaRe really were the best developers Nintendo had, every game they released was gold. Especially during the N64 era.

[@daveyjones626]

I used to play this game all the time as a kid , I would wake up in the morning and go straight to this game 🤩

[@stefanpoirier6810]

30 years ago! Still an undisputed classic.

[@gboogie3257]

This is really well done my first Donkey Kong game was Donkey Kong country returns and when the switch came out twitch the Snes entertainment system came with all 3 Donkey Kongs I have no idea what to do but I played until I I understand the controls and to today your playthrough is wanting me to 101% it.

[@thunderthighs3450]

The music right?

[@giancarlog89]

I don't know why, but I remember in Jungle Hijinx there was a red balloon, a green balloon and a blue balloon further in the tree line. But it looks now that it is not in any of the videos I've watched on youtube. I do remember they were there because I never knew there were two blue balloons at the end of the level. Maybe I was playing another version of DKC?

[@xRavenXP]

They are probably different reviews of the same game. I recorded this video with version 1.0 USA, you must have played a later version.

[@Issachar-northern-kingdom]

It looks like an exact replica of the lower Yucatan peninsula/belize

[@figueroakelvin]

Would like to see DKC 2 & 3 soon

[@xRavenXP]

DKC2 and 3 will be recorded soon.

[@piggytales5819]

1:10:00 that music sync was so good

[@minmin_3428]

My first game ever, and my favorite forever 😔👊🏻

[@torrvic1156]

Donkey Kong Country is the game which cultivated love to nature in me. Thank you so much for my fond memories Rare!

[@Gabrielbarsch]

props for playing the ''blackout basement'' twice it's the best sound track of the game

[@RodrigoLonguinho]

excelente jogo a Rareware criou, um dos melhores de todos os tempos.

[@jamesbartee6184]

Man, Rare and Nintendo in the 90s were in their prime

[@rubencruzhernandez2798]

Yoshi s Island y Donkey Kong Country son los mejores juegos

[@videogamephenomhd]

One of the first titles to feature pre-rendered graphics, Silicon Graphics said it all.

[@destinyhammond3654]

The level of nostalgia is literally off the charts right now!

[@Rokabur]

Just too bad this technique/technology was retired once the new consoles were released. Just think what games could have been on more powerful consoles.

[@GuiltyxPirate]

"We used to play for hours on a single screen game and think we were lucky, and we were!"

[@Eternaldarkness3166]

as someone who had those you have to play the game with your brother parents this will always be my favorite because it was a fun 2 player game

[@inceptional]

Now this is a game that shows off much of what the SNES is capable of in the right hands.

[@RaF3r0]

I love these gameplays keep it up

[@DQ1_Lv.25_OTTE]

Excellent ! You are super player !!

[@phantomthiefjoker939]

22:43 Awwww, NUTS!!!!!!!

[@CourtDawg456]

That 4K looks so good!

[@shahbazcokar1782]

Background music was really good

[@LaCheleWallace]

Oh my God! I love this game so much. My dad and I would play it all the time. No sweet and nostalgic.

[@emersonmendes3579]

Video excelente e perfect, muito bom ❤😏

[@DrakeFeatherwing]

The sneaky 6up (2 blue balloons) at the end of Jungle Hijinxs surprises me to this day.

[@nenisguevaragomez8122]

Wait, what??? Where are those blue balloons in jungle hijinxs??

[@zacharyjoy8724]

Did anyone else ever get or watch the behind the scenes promo video for this game? It came with a subscription to Nintendo Power magazine.

[@elawson10]

This is GREAT! When you have some time can you do Donkey Kong Country 2 & 3? I'd LOVE to see the GBA versions too! Somebody did a 4K of the GBA versions, but they left out the pathway to each stage......

[@xRavenXP]

DKC is almost ready and will be released with 102%. DKC3 i will start in some days.

[@ClassicosGames]

Excelente videooo!! joga mt, como sempre

[@s4ndinho608]

Nostalgia ta como ave mariaa kkk

[@RodrigoLonguinho]

Nostalgia desse jogo é grande que joguei muito nos anos 90 e jogo até hoje ainda. Maria a mãe de Jesus. mãe e criadora da raça humana. Maria, a Divina Criadora dos Mundos Livres em Carbono.

[@Ragesauce]

Id be hard pressed to not believe this was done without some kind of tool assistance.

[@mikecanar2279]

I played this so much in my middle school years and I never knew there was a ground pounding move DK does by slapping ground, how is this done? Love all your long play videos, if I ever get stuck on a certain part of game I always watch how you always give these retro games a second life. 😎👍

If I'm not mistaken you have to crouch then press Y

1994: Monkey platforming game for your SNES = fun!

[@markheying2830]

Most of the time, I would usually get lots of Extra Lives in the following 10 Levels. 1: Jungle Hijinxs 2: Millstone Mayhem 3: Temple Tempest 4: Orang-utan Gang 5: Ice Age Alley 6: Oil Drum Alley 7: Manic Mincers 8: Misty Mine 9: Trick Track Trek 10: Reptile Rumble

[@janepaula8468]

Legal

[@phantomthiefjoker939]

1:07:45 My favorite level in this game. The Factory Level.

[@shahbazcokar1782]

I didn't know there were so many secret bonus stages in the game.

[@gordonwalden5961]

0:03 you immediately knew you were in for a different experience. I for one wanted to see if the hype in EGM and GamePro were true. Needless to say they couldn't do it justice. You just had to be there.

[@matthewulanski217]

The animal token bonus areas each have a large token that doubles your current token total when you touch it. This can double how many extra lives you get.

[@matthewulanski217]

When you fight Queen B, it's better to use Diddy Kong, because he holds the barrel in front of him like a shield. It is possible to beat the bee with Donkey Kong, but more difficult.

[@cesaramauryalmeda1868]

Faltan el 2 y el 3, espero los suba por favor

[@NegaLimbo]

I hope you'll be able to do the rest of the Donkey Kong games, including SNES, GB, the GBA remakes, and...have you played DK64? 😅

[@xRavenXP]

I never play Donkey Kong 64, but looks a incredible game. One day I will play DK64

[@NegaLimbo]

@@xRavenXP Thank you, Raven. And I hope you do well on that game. Especially because I have seen you do well on the games you've played so far.

[@user-gw2xn8pu5i]

after 30 years I still don’t understand if this is 3D or 2D graphics?!

[@Ayumuobsessed]

Gosh this is one of my favorite game in the snes plus is was so cool that Smash bros Ultimate recreated the kongo Jungle map in world of light adventure mode which gave me nostalgic and also...... Donkey Kong: "Are they digging holes in my mountain?!"

[@iranjackheelson]

25:27 I remember I used to be traumatized by those stop-go Rockcrocs and never got past that stage... still freaks me out after all these years!!!

[@michaelweech6432]

Good to see you merely posted your comment 8 days ago; I keep asking the same question, to videos of this 28 year old game (exactly how old it’ll be next month), which no one responds to. Hacking this game is definitely not something I’d be skilled / trained in, myself (I definitely wouldn’t be a pro / expert in video game hacking, one of the most complicated things to do). It isn’t something that someone could just sit and read a book, about how to do. If I knew anyone who knew how to do this, I’d tell them what changes I want made, to this game.

[@jeffdeming8811]

Did you know you csn skip half the level by going back out the entrance as soon as you enter the level. Turn around and walk back out , haha just be ready to run like hell and jump a bit when you pop ahead in the level . Think it puts you at like the last one or two stop n go barrels

[@jeffdeming8811]

Same goes for the rhino bonus level. If you jump across the very top and make it to the far right side, there's a 2x thing there also. Need a little extra time to get over there though so I'd do like a quick run as fast as ya can to the right and back to the start and then go for it right away

[@javi999b]

Excellent !! (what about the golden bird at 35:49 ? )

[@lemmykoopa1379]

It’s more gorgeous than ever 😍

[@erickandrearroyomejia9587]

[@phantomthiefjoker939]

37:33 Hey, have ya'll played Super Mario Bros? Here's my secret: jump on a flock of Neckies and execute a chain reaction to achieve more lives. That's what I did the entire time. 😁

[@GMKGoji01]

So I asked this question over on Sidequest’s video…do you think DK Country is a two-player game if two people take turns controlling one monkey? And points are a thing?

[@alexsilva4542]

Masterpiece 😎

[@melissahill9220]

I playing this game on my super Nintendo I play donkey Kong country games on my super Nintendo I not good at this game

[@pewtercityjim1307]

Which emulator are you running at 4K 60fps?

[@jakeybarra4015]

Trini is my pet dog.

[@joie8465]

1996till2006 was the last I played Nintendo

[@derylpina1999]

Wow childhood games on SNES. I perfer like GBA Version Cause it has Candy Kong Dance studio was brilliant music. I wish you upload Donkey Kong country GBA Trilogys soon as possibles.

[@leonardpayne8795]

This game is similar to Donkey Kong Country Returns

[@apostolosbulgarakis4114]

Anyway how much time did You spend for 'the' "XENOGEARS!!!!!!"??

[@xRavenXP]

For Xenogears I took about 3 months to record. And another month to do the whole encode, since my video card is a simple and already obsolete, Zotac GeForce 210, and Bizhawk starts to get heavy to give load when the input movie is too big.

[@nationababan5209]

8:41

[@jeffdeming8811]

Only saw the first time it was done so far, I'm watching your play through. Did you not know there's a x2 wayyyy at the far end when you're doing the ostrich bonus level? I always did the same way you did, fly back and forth through each section then jump to the next, and if you manage the time right you can get over the wall at the very far side of the level, and there's a giant ostrich that gives you 2x whatever you've collected 😀 again, I only saw your first run at the ostrich bonus level so if you did know, sorry or being a know it all lol. I used to absolutely love this game. Still do

[@jeffdeming8811]

Also if you go in stop and go station then turn around and go back out the entrance it's a short cut lol

[@jeffdeming8811]

If you wanna start with 50 lives also, go to the save screen and go down to erase game.. stay on the erase game option, then press B A R R A L :)

[@Bey0492]

i wish nintendo brings DKC1,2,3 as Remake...

[@phantomthiefjoker939]

53:55 WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃

[@elawson10]

Hey, xRavenXP? Are you planning on uploading the GBA versions of Donkey Kong Country 1-3? I requested that quite a while ago...

[@xRavenXP]

Yes, I plan to record this trilogy in GBA version. There are several requests, so it is difficult to remember who asked. I still need to find a place here on KZbin just for requests, so that it's easy for me to remember and stay organized, but I also allow requests in the comments without any problems.

[@elawson10]

My apologies. I just wasn't sure. And thank you in advance. And thank you for playthroughs you've done so far!@@xRavenXP

[@micaelly6326]

Can someone help me? in this phase of the final boss, in the last part (in the very last part, after the message appears on the screen, at the minute of this video at 1:51:00) when he starts jumping, I can't dodge. I've seen in some videos the person passing under him when he jumps, but I can't do it at all. I always end up bumping into him and dying. Can someone help me? I've been stuck on this for months.

1:07, 22:45 D'OH!!!!!!! 🤦‍♂️

[@michaelweech6432]

Does anyone know how to hack this game? I’m aware what changes I want made.

[@billytalent2308ify]

Don't understand why I only get max. 51% tho.

[@AP_0111]

I have a copy if anyone’s interested, used no box only cartridge

[@apostolosbulgarakis4114]

Why are You so delaying about boktai II solar boy django And final fantasy tactics ?

[@xRavenXP]

I'm doing it, but the problem is that they are huge games and the process of encode (post-production) long games is quite time consuming, apart from that my internet connection is not the best. I also have social life, work and professional duties.

[@mikelikesbama]

Video is clearly edited. You cannot beat the mine shaft level within the first 20 tries
