Yes. He used the double-kong glitch.

I have this game on my hacked psp and I've just learned how to the jump roll glitch. Is it possible for me to do the super jump roll with extendos in Forest frenzy as well or do I have to use a tas run to do that?

Diddy went on to become a tire in Mario Kart.

[@kasagrim7215]

Always fascinates me about the many secret ways to get to levels or more so every stage is unique and different even if it is all stages one area of a map. Makes me wonder witch levels is where in the map lol but like damn. Now I want to play the game

[@sourcecat3394]

Hey Tompa, I'd love to see a short video on how you made this if possible. I am curious how TAS works and although I can watch tutorial vids, they usually show mario games and I'd love to see how you record/create some of these cool tricks. You can find me in the discord as well. Awesome job here man!

[@TompaA]

I roughly did a stream of this awhile ago and put up on KZbin, which was mostly a guide for Rainbow Sparklez, but because it's not very well-organized and generally messy + that I didn't like it, I just put it up as unlisted. I can't really remember what is included in it, but you can see it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pZC5nn2ZhMZ9oqM Maybe I'll have another stream, better one, in the future =).

[@sourcecat3394]

Thank you! So cool!

[@setasan]

Secrets, so many secrets.

[@KuroKomix]

Alright, Tompa, because I'm curious. Exactly how much time do you save by doing that warp to Orang-utan Gang as opposed to just beating Master Necky and playing through World 3 normally?

[@TompaA]

Hmm, good questions. I rarely save my numbers, how much faster/slower something it. I just tested it, the result showed it was faster and then I was happy and continued. I suppose I could check...

[@enjoyer2227]

What do you call a DLC that helps Kong's Dong expand even further? The Expansion Pack.

20:00 hmm, I feel like there is something TASy going on. Probably stole data corrupting. 20:23 or that. XD I mind the camera having trouble following what's going on. ^^

[@asmodeus1234]

Awesome 👍

[@911delorean]

13:37 What is that Barrel at the bottom of the screen as he jumps into the continue barrel?

[@TompaA]

Normally to enter the bonus barrel I end the level with, you need to enter a barrel on the right of the banana that's briefly seen at 13:47. After you enter the bonus barrel, it will disappear, so if you would then enter the barrel at the banana to be blasted to the left, you'll eventually go all the way to the barrel seen at 13:37 and shot up to the right on the platform.

45:23 so did ‘i’ (referring to this TAS being i)

[@TompaA]

I actually died at 20:05 Cranky is clearly better =).

[@ConnorW8]

oh haha.. well can cranky glitch out the game like mad in the minute following the death? probably not :)

[@michaelalameda2002]

How do you get 101%?

[@TompaA]

1. Finish all 33 stages. 2. Enter all 67 bonuses. 3. Beat King K Rool.

[@sarcastic_slob]

And the winner is: Cranky Kong...?

[@TompaA]

Yeah, Cranky is way too good :(. He claimed to have done this using only one life, but I actually died once at 20:08. Cranky's superior.

[@TheAbbot92]

Is it easier to do the run with Diddy leading?

[@TompaA]

Diddy is a lot faster than Donkey, main reason to use him.

[@Romess1]

I love it. Question though, how can the score be 101% with World Necky 2 not finished?

[@TompaA]

The %counter don't count for the bosses, except for King K Rool. There is a new route that skips two bosses, through a lot of extra warping around.

[@人間.敵..連合.悪のタワー]

@@TompaA 24:36 Glitch 🤯

[@William3000x]

Wait, how do you get that warp at the first world, right at 9:08 in the video? I remember I was able to get it right on the actual console back in the days, but now everytime I try it on the emulator, I just don't get it. Wonder if it's somewhat related to the version of the game, and I'm playing a different version than the one I used to play? More likely that I just don't remember what buttons to press, or even a input lag (i clearly remember this trick was difficult because it was almost a frame-perfect input)... What buttons do you press for that?

[@TompaA]

That warp will only work on US 1.0, 1.1 and PAL 1.0, 1.1. It won't work on US 1.2, which includes all released for Virtual Console and it will also not work on any Japanese version. The way it's done is to simply press a button: A, B, X, Y or Start, in one of the four corners on the map screen. The timing is one frame only, so it might be a bit tricky, but if you just spam the buttons you'll get it eventually. And you must only have one character on the map or both in the Funky Barrel, as seen in this TAS. Hopefully you'll get it to work! =)

How does that roll reset thing work? When you keep like resetting the roll animation on the ground.

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

[@kwanholloway4112]

Is it possible to the jump roll cartwheel extendos in real time without emulation?

[@TompaA]

Yes, it is. Anything specific one you are thinking about? The one in Platform Perils I guess?

[@kwanholloway4112]

@@TompaA no. Lol the one in Forest frenzy. After the initial jump roll you do another one combined with a cartwheel past the bees into the bonus barrel past the neckys. I've been enamored with this manuver and I've been trying to do it on my hacked psp. I'm able to do the first jump roll cancel but the next one with cartwheel is harder than the devil lol

[@TompaA]

@@kwanholloway4112 Ah. Because the jumproll in PP is actually a jumproll with an extendo. The other one is called a Super JumpRoll, RTA tutorial here: dkcspeedruns.com/DKC_Tricks#Super_Jumproll_.28SJR.29 And here are two different SJR strats for Forest Frenzy: dkcspeedruns.com/Forest_Frenzy#SuperFreeRoll I hope those help =).

[@kidpresident_1475]

I was very surprised the 100% category doesnt include getting KONG letters on every stage, and getting all the bannanas, 1ups, etc.

[@TompaA]

I only go by what the game itself considers to be 101%, which is not even all boss fights, only the final boss is technically neccesary for this. All bananas and balloons are impossible to get all without replaying levels several times. In the GBA version, the 101% requires you to get all KONG letters however, because you are needed to get the 52 cameras.

It's a tricky one. While I used a glitch to reach it, you are normally supposed to push a tire from the right. You can only enter the barrel as Donkey.

TASes end their timing on the final input needed to reach "The end". The jump I did at 41:18 was the last input press after that I just wait for KKR to return, take a hit, Donkey jumps up automatically and hits him on the way down.
