I don't really find any of the DKC1 worlds memorable, they don't have themes to me at all. They're just Levels. I'm really looking forward to the 2 LP because it's such an enormous step up and we'll get to witness that.
Well it is a decent hack but sometime its just too repetitif there no level that actually pop in your face and your like oh yeah that level they all ressemble themselves and just monster along the way.

I thought I noticed that the secret was indicated because the bottom scaffold pole was missing, but it looks like all the corners are like that. So no banana for you dkc.

The secrets in this game are downright terrible, both in how arbitrarily they're "hidden" and how mediocre the reward is. It's not fun or interesting to jump in random holes and rub barrels against every wall in the level, looking for an extra life. I would never consider those exclamation marks worth my time.

raocow, if you don't have the secrets memorized for future DK games, will you decline to go for 100%?

I actually find it more memorable than the previous world. The only levels I ever remember from the previous one are the first level (which bleeds together with Blackout Basement in my memories), the boss, and the minecart level which I actually mistakenly thought was in Chimp Caverns.

If he wants to play the entire game then he has no choice since DKC2 and 3 both lock the secret worlds behind bonus coins. (Though DKC3 also has the banana bird stuff as well which is optional.)

Finally finished marathoning through this series. I was having a quite busy and stressful time when the LP started so I needed to play catch-up.

I didn't know (or forgot) that the fuel tanks in Tanked Up Trouble indicated how much fuel each drum contained. I just got the tanks instinctively and tried to remember about how much a given tank gave. I also never realized that you can use DK barrels instead of TNT barrels to take out black drums.

By the way, there was a warp in the other rail platform level (Trick Track Trek). This was also retained in the GBA version.

The bonuses in 2 and 3 are generally more sensibly-placed anyway.

Yeah it's definitely won't be an issue with 2+3, you're actually expected to find them because again, enormous jump in quality.

I think one of the reasons Chimp Caverns feels so anti-climactic as a final area beyond just the boring map is that each previous world introduced at least one or two new level types, whereas caves are something we've seen in pretty much every area thus far, so we're basically ending with the most ho-hum theme possible at this point. What's more, a cave theme was already done in world 2--all right, that was technically "mines", which are a different tileset and music, but caves and mines are used interchangeably in both worlds (and, for that matter, elsewhere, as the mine tileset is basically used as a cave in places, and the cave tileset is used for a literal mine in Elevator Antics)--so it really is retreading old ground while bringing nothing new to the table. A decidedly curious decision, in any event.

Huh, I remember Platform Perils being longer and harder than that. Guess youth really does play a factor.

Also, in actually looking at and thinking about it, it's kinda creepy that Donkey Kong has a pinup poster of his one female friend in his house.

Straight up going to say that when I was a kid, I got duped by the fake credits. When the game takes control from you, I figured it would be a fake out, but I figured it would lead to the rest of the world. Should've known they'd go for that third phase deal, but nope. Just wasn't the brightest kid back in the day. Oops.

So, since the lp ended I should say what the thread title gimmick was:






There wasn't one, I just made the title stranger every day to make it less likely that it's the DKC thread, because this was made the LP thread without my consent, so I decided to have some fun with it instead.


Here are the official titles:

It's neat that there is unique animations for DK and Diddy, just for the end.
And rao, biting is common when animals playfight. Watch some lion cubs.

Anyways, this video sums up this entire adventure nicely:

  • Loopy Lights: In the entryway at the very start
    Image
  • Platform Perils: After several scaffolds with Armies on them, at the bottom of a descending platform
    Image
  • Defeat King K. Rool (watch out hes high tier)
    Image
And five that you'll be getting if you're a real completionist like rao cow:
  • Visit Cranky's Hut in every world
    Image
  • Collect all the KONG letters in every level (rao doesn't actually have this because it only counts if you collect all four in one run dragon-coin-style)
    Image
  • Visit every Bonus Room in the game (rao DOES have this one)
    Image
  • Complete Funky's Fishing challenges in every world
    Image
  • Complete Candy's Dance Studio challenges in every world
    Image
And that's a wrap for all the scrapbook pictures in the game! They're back in DKC2 but I don't know that game at all so oops.

Anyway, did you like fighting Necky? What if you fought TWO NECKYS?????? because that's the boss of Chimp Caverns in the port! They attack from both sides of the screen, and once one's down, the other goes hyper mode. Otherwise, they work the same as before.
Image
K. Rool, on the other hand, is completely unchanged. But after the credits roll, you actually get a new cutscene where everyone invades his boat like jerks.
Image
He kicks everyone off and threatens to blow up the island if they don't leave, and Cranky whines because it's a cheap way to set up the sequel or something, everyone laughs
Image

A few final notes: Once you beat the port, at least, you can go back to the hoard in Jungle Hijinxs and force Donkey and Diddy into fits of celebration whenever you want! Hooray!
Image
And the last weird note for a weird port: after you defeat Really Gnawty in Gorilla Glacier, you can return to the treehouse in Jungle Hijinxs to find Very Gnawty stomping around in it. After you enter, he realizes you're there and escapes, and you never see him again.

With all that said... one last link for the road.



That's great.

The GBC port adds just one extra level and a few minigames. Some of the music is changed to stuff borrowed from Donkey Kong Land and the mechanics and even levels are noticeably different here and there. It's weird.

The GBA port is closer to the SNES classic, has different minigames from GBC, and has neat extra modes. I would recommend the GBA port of DKC1 for those that played SNES games as I think it stands well on its own as a game. (The ports of sequels progressively strip things down.)

I think Nintendo intended for you to find all the secrets. They probably just intended for you to buy the Official Nintendo Player's GuideTM to do it.

Sounds like a good time to plug a video!

Uh...Do I just sign here? What do you mean it should be obvious? There are people in this world...well...a whole lot of people that can't follow basic instructions!
