[TAS] GBC Donkey Kong Country by DeathKontrol in

[@DeathKontrol]

Wow, I'm so happy to see how much love this is getting, thank you so much to everyone who followed while I worked on this and to everyone who's watching it now!

[@lra1095]

I love TASs like this where it's just 'go forward as fast as possible, let nothing be in your way' really mesmerizing to watch at 2x speed.

[@kekula69]

good channel profile picture

[@FLYNN_TAGGART]

Love the music sync at 17:30. Also, this port really is a miracle.

[@notsyzagts7967]

Truly Rare's talent at its best.

[@KitsDJ]

I've been waiting for this TAS for ages. Well done to DK (DeathKontrol)!

[@jess648]

using DK Land’s engine to remake DKC1 on the GBC was a genius idea plus its actually a very solid port

[@vittosphonecollection57289]

Ikr?

[@Vro789]

It's also like hard mode

[@ShermleyCollege]

it plays worse than all 3 dkl games lol

[@Nbrother1607]

DKL2 seems to control better than DKL1

[@maneruloquendero]

I love the sound Neckies make

[@botulismsauce]

Agreed. I'm fond of the banana collection sound as well

[@vittosphonecollection57289]

Aeeeee

[@IAmTheEg7]

I had this version and I played it before the SNES version, what a difference that was!

[@vittosphonecollection57289]

Ok but this one is pretty cool for being portable, it still holds up with the GBA port around. This game is literally that one game that it's the same on both the 3DS and the DS except for the graphics and 3DS having some bonuses

[@supercamborg4218]

Man, this makes the movement in this port actually look somewhat decent!

[@rac1equalsbestgame853]

This Gameboy music is so good! I prefer many tracks to the their SNES version even

[@mywifesboyfriend5558]

Amazing how vibrant the colors on this port are.

[@cesardka]

I still can't believe this game is from 2000 Look at how portable games have evolved in a span of 22 years, holy shit...

[@notsyzagts7967]

True but this was the original GB (color), not the Advance, which was current at the time. It was an end-of-life release for the aging GB hardware. Still an interesting look back though.

[@vittosphonecollection57289]

Yes like back then the difference was night and day while now, if you're lucky, it's the same thing as consoles, otherwise there are slight downgrades

[@vittosphonecollection57289]

Also not too long ago handheld ports were different to consoles' to be less complex and BAM! With a single generation now magically the games for handheld became exactly the same as the ones from console. Maybe this is the best time to have handhelds becuase now they're actually portable consoles in every single way!

[@vittosphonecollection57289]

Yeah, we went from having the same game as a home console with significant downgrades to just having the same as a home console and stop. 🤣🤣

[@vittosphonecollection57289]

Lol I replied 3 times, I'm gonna leave that 😂😂

[@eatingmage603]

Beautiful, I’ve always wanted to play this!

[@IvanFranco120]

Barely talking about this unique GBC version of DKC been made... Its surprisingly how it was well made in 2000 days.

[@botulismsauce]

Aquatic Ambiance still sounds choice. Great TAS!

[@Alexs23743]

Trick Track Trek, where Diddy Kong drops his new mixtape.

[@Atylonisus]

00:24 Am I crazy or is this literally a downgraded screen grab from the DK64 menu select screen?

[@Noiser2092]

No it's original

[@davion4777]

You’re not crazy, that’s literally what it is

[@ohsheet9240]

I had no idea DKC was directly ported to the GBC. I knew about Donkey Kong Land, but DKC? I might have to check this out…

[@LeislonJose]

Nice TAS! One question (since I didn't find the answer in the author's comments): Why did he take a small detour to Cranky in the overworld at 6:53, instead of going straight to the next level? It happens in other worlds too, so I guess it's required for some reason.

[@DeathKontrol]

The overworld movement is forced after beating a level for the first time! Unfortunately in worlds 2, 3 and 4, it sends you in the wrong direction, which loses some time but is unavoidable.

[@LeislonJose]

@@DeathKontrol Gotcha. Thanks!

[@NASCARFAN160]

How is the Game Boy one less broken than the SNES one?

[@Sheimiko]

I was wondering if someone would've done a TAS of this game. I remember trying to get passed Gorilla Glacier when I was a kid on GBC. Finally got passed it til I got suck on a different level. Never finished this. Love the TAS.

[@vittosphonecollection57289]

14:33 Lol Diddy moved so fast I thought he became an unused sprite for an insect enemy 😂

[@jordanpeterson5038]

It's kinda weird seeing this when the gameboy version was made.

[@ericdanielski4802]

Nice TAS.

[@johneygd]

While i was actually very happy with this version of donkeykong country, looking at it now, it felt more like a flashback rather then being an atmospheric experience because the snes version has it all along with that 90’s feel wich the gameboycolor versions lacks.

[@OblivionWalkerVerified]

Oh yes… watching this for sure

[@johneygd]

I remember how frustrated i was with the last world,i took me hours to beat that level with the lights turning off constandly, and everytime i ran oit of lives i waa always going back to world 1 to grab some extra lives in level 1, then going back to world 6 were i started that horrible again at the check point,and i was keep going following that same precedure going back and forth to grab some extra lives once i needed to do that,and then that moment i finally beated that level ,i was just soooo releaved man i could finally save from that point to contineu on the next day, because back then i was playing that game in my darkroom under a light bulb,phew.

[@cleitondanieldaniel7931]

Love this game. ❤

[@Nbrother1607]

Seems that the GBC version has less glitches

[@Jannemandevries]

16:06 If you shoot upright in the barrel next to the Necky (or the one next to it, don't remember) you end up in the section skip barrel too, at least on SNES. It's faster I think.

[@DeathKontrol]

Not in this game, that shoots you to the 4th barrel which is past the skip and would require you to go back to get to it. You can't steer yourself in midair, your speed gets locked. Although it looks slow this is the fastest way to the skip, trust me, I tried everything!

[@claudioas]

is this some kind of trainer or a real player?

[@notsyzagts7967]

Research what a TAS is and you will find out.

[@claudioas]

@@notsyzagts7967 thanks, now it makes sense

[@retro3188]

Epic!

[@softfishitrashi5176]

While i see this i hear the green hill zone music in my head

[@ghostface5559]

11:33 I'd be doing all that to if I could see all the data as im playing lol. the tools used trivialize the game I bet

[@AndrewBlechinger]

I think I would have liked to see more entertainment tradeoffs during the levels whose gimmick is "bad lighting." I can hardly see a damn thing during those segments.

[@DeathKontrol]

There's a video on my channel of those levels with the lights on, so you can see what the TAS is doing!

[@yarielrodriguez3341]

23:23 XD

[@Umbreon_Eevee]

I never did beat this game

[@jamariuswalker1712]

I did it took me hard work and dedication to beat the game!
