But not having to backtrack to a tag barrel to visit an area multiple times is a huge benefit to the game and its replayability.
You can't use DK for Diddys jetpack barrel, and you can't use Chunky to make yourself small or fly like Tiny. They all have their own guns and music instruments, they have their own golden bananas to collect. This is just one example in one level.Įach kong still has their own specific roles. You need to go through that with 3 different Kongs and you'll have to go back and forth with each one, assuming it's your first time playing and you don't know Tiny is intended to go through it. Oh and don't forget about DKs blueprint in the same cave.
You get to the end and then you see you need Tiny to open the gate and for a blueprint. Here's an example but you can skip this paragraph: In Jungle Japes there's a gate to the left with about 10 Chunky kong bananas. The massive amount of requirements to go back and forth and visit areas multiple times. The biggest complaint by far for DK64 is the amount of backtracking this game has. It is also possible to play the patched game with actual hardware.ĮDIT: Thanks to the speedrunning community patching has become a lot easier, just go to this website and follow the instructions: I had this SHA1 after patching: 63a50257bbfef891b362483154f3f1b50f25162d, which is also the one mentioned here Unzip everything, run Lunar and apply the patch.Get an NTSC ROM of the game and check the SHA1, I think it needs to be cf806ff2603640a748fca5026ded28802f1f4a50, someone correct me if I'm wrong.Go here and download the patch using the download link, further down from the github link, the file should have a.If you're interested in trying the patched game on an emulator, here is how I did it to play on M64Plus: Maybe someone whose more knowledgeable can chime in. I cannot guarantee that there won't be problems later, though, since I'm by no means an expert on these things.
The instructions say that emulators are not recommended but I played it on M64Plus on my android for a couple of hours and it worked fine. Everything else is as normal, for example the Kong abilities are unlocked by visiting Cranky/Funky and paying, so you still follow the story in that sense. For those that feel the same, this patch is a godsend, no need to return to the barrel to switch out the Kong just to collect a few coins or flip a switch.Īll the Kongs are unlocked right from the start, which not everyone might like. I've been wanting to re-play DK64 for ages but never got round to it due to the insane amount of backtracking it involves. A patch has been released that allows the instant swapping of Kongs in DK64 using the d-pad.
