Cranky Kong: I knew they'd have to have something like this.
The Kongs will be so weighed down with all the garbage they have to collect, I can't see them getting past the second level. I've been told to keep my mouth shut, as they want to keep all the good stuff for a money-making strategy guide. I'm sure some of it will appear on the newfangled 'internet' thing as well, so I suggest you take a look-see there. There are six modes:.
In Battle Arena, the characters must use weapons and explosives to knock their opponents off a platform. There are five modes:. Six items appear randomly on the arena. Each of them have a different effect than in Adventure mode:. DK may not be the most powerful Kong - or the quickest - but he applies a strong blue-collar work ethic to the business of Kremling Crushing. That may be why he's the leader of the Kong Clan.
A mere bantamweight in bulk, this courageous chimp is the heavyweight champion of hard-core attitude. Whether he's rocking out on a six-stringed, amplified guitar or rocketing through the sky, he's always giving it percent - Diddy Style. Think of him as a twisted twig on a distant branch of the family tree. Kremlings and Klaptraps may snicker at his goofy gait as he ambles in their direction, but there's nothing funny about a hyper extended sucker punch.
You'll find her pigtails perfect for pugilism and not too bad for a helicopter ride from the treetops. Tiny never shrinks from her responsibilities - even when she shrinks herself physically for a mouse's eye view of the action.
He's bad. He plays the triangle. Chunky is something of a primate paradox: brutal when the situation demands it, yet almost meek at other times. He's also not the sharpest knife in the drawer, so he'll need all the help you can give him.
If there's heavy lifting to be done, however, Chunky is the Monkey to see. Throughout the game, the Kongs meet various characters within certain worlds. These characters often don't appear outside said world, with a few exceptions. Cranky's Lab is a location that Professor Cranky Kong resides in, and it appears in every area of the game, with the exception of Hideout Helm. Cranky has seemingly taken up science as a hobby, and in his lab, the player can buy different potions in exchange for Banana Bunch Coins to learn new techniques and abilities needed to progress throughout the game.
Also, if the Kongs visit Cranky at his lab with at least fifteen Banana Medals , Cranky allows them to play a game called Jetpac an early Rare game.
The Kongs must get points in the game in order to obtain the Rareware Coin. There are three kinds of potions that are available for the Kongs and each type of potion gives them a different ability. The types of abilities are as follows:.
There are also shared potions which give all the Kongs the same ability - to press Kong Switches with their face on them. Funky's Store is a shop owned by Funky Kong where the Kongs can buy and reload their weapons. Each Kong has his or her own personalized weapon.
They can use these weapons to shoot a variety of fruit-based projectiles to attack enemies, hit certain switches that have a certain fruit emblem on them, and hit Banana Balloons. Initially, the Kongs can have 50 rounds of ammunition, but this amount increases when the Kongs buy Funky's upgrades.
The prices of his upgrades are as follows:. Candy Kong owns a music shop where she provides the Kongs with powerful instruments that they can use to make a variety of things happen. At certain points of the game, Candy also gives the Kongs an extra melon , increasing their health. Usually, when the Kongs play their instruments on certain locations, doors open or areas that were previously impossible to reach become accessible.
The power of the instrument can also defeat all the enemies on the screen, but playing it reduces its energy. The Kongs can touch Candy's Headphones to replenish their instruments' energy, or visit Candy to reload the energy.
The instrument, however, does not lose any energy if the Kongs play it when they are standing on a Music Pad. Over the course of the game, the player may find Kasplats holding pieces of blueprint.
If the player takes them to Snide's H. There are a total of 40 blueprints in the game, 5 per world along with 5 in DK Isles. If the player delivers all of Snide's Blueprints, he will then allow the Kongs to play the various Bonus Stage games.
In addition, collecting blueprints increases the amount of time that the Kongs have to complete the final world, Hideout Helm , by one minute per blueprint collected.
Wrinkly Doors are found in the lobby of each level excluding Hideout Helm. As the name suggests, Wrinkly Kong will come out of each door if a Kong approaches it and give the Kong advice on one of their Golden Bananas hidden in each level.
Troff and Scoff guard the doors that lead to the bosses who hold seven of the eight keys to K. By feeding Scoff a certain number of bananas, it allows Troff to reach the key to open the door. The players need to feed Scoff more bananas each progressed level and the combined total of all the Kongs' bananas can be pertained. Once all the bananas reach to 0, the key opens the door and a roulette spins, determining which Kong is going to battle against the Boss.
Only the designated Kong can enter the door. The door will close if a different Kong tries to go inside the door at any time. Once the correct Kong enters the door, the door slams shut, and evil laughter can be heard before the screen fades to the Boss Battle. Note: The final boss, King K. There are a few types of switches, which usually affect the landscape when activates.
This allows the Kongs to access to new areas and collectibles. The switches are either found on the ground, or in the walls, requiring a special ability to hit them. There are three types of switches:. When the players manage to collect a certain amount of Banana Fairies in any file, the Mystery option will be unlocked in the main menu.
Depending on the number of Banana Fairies collected, the players will unlock the following things:. As both Donkey Kong 64 and Banjo-Kazooie were games made by Rare, there are a few similarities between them:. Donkey Kong 64 started development immediately after the conclusion of Donkey Kong Country 3 's [9]. The original incarnation of Donkey Kong 64 was meant to be more similar in design to the Donkey Kong Country series than the final game, featuring linear levels played through a combination of forward-scrolling and side view sections, similar to Crash Bandicoot [9].
After around 18 months, development was rebooted after Rare took notice of the trend of open 3D games started by Super Mario 64 [9]. Transitioning the series to true 3D proved challenging: graphic artist Mark Stevenson noted that " As an artist who was on the DKC games, I used to build and animate the characters from a fixed side-on view.
Being able to see this character from any angle, you'd make an animation, put it in the game, and you'd think it looked good side-on, but awful from every other angle! It was challenging from a technical and design perspective. Due to the success of Banjo-Kazooie , one of the first requests Rare co-president Tim Stamper made was to include even more collectables.
Mechanics such as the 5 playable characters and "thrilling moments" such as mine cart and slide sequences were also deviced to differentiate the game from Banjo-Kazooie [10]. Grant Kirkhope , who had composed the soundtrack to Banjo , settled on a darker tone due to David Wise 's work on the original Donkey Kong Country trilogy [10]. Although the realistic gun models sighted in pre-release material were always intended to be placeholder, the final design of the Coconut Gun was only conceived after a mortified Shigeru Miyamoto saw Donkey Kong's shotgun in a demo of the game and immediately drew up a replacement [10].
In , a story was published that impled Donkey Kong 64 was not initially meant to require the Expansion Pak. According to that story, Rare was unable to fix a memory leak bug discovered near the game's release date; the bug would cause the game to crash after 30 minutes of gameplay, but Rare found that the issue did not occur when the Expansion Pak inserted. As a result, the game was bundled with the Expansion Pak, a move that supposedly took a large toll on the game's profits.
Donkey Kong 64 was developed by Rare Ltd. The game's core development team was largely formed of people who had no involvement with Rare's previous Donkey Kong games, although several Donkey Kong Country veterans such as Gregg Mayles and Chris Sutherland are credited as support staff. The game's soundtrack was composed by Grant Kirkhope. Initially meant to assist Eveline Fischer , Kirkhope ended up composing the entire soundtrack including the DK Rap and also provided the voice of Donkey Kong.

With a massive single-player quest packed with surprises and a madcap multiplayer mode, Donkey Kong 64 is a bursting barrel of fun! Donkey Kong 64 was the subject of universal acclaim at release. Critics praised the game's length and large amount of content, the variety brought about by the game's tasks and different player characters, and the graphics, although multiple outlets expressed disappointment that Donkey Kong 64 did not feel like a massive technological leap over the developer's previous work on Banjo-Kazooie despite requiring the Expansion Pak accessory.
A reoccurring criticism of the game was that Donkey Kong 64 was derivative of Super Mario 64 and Banjo-Kazooie , and not a revolutionary step like the critics judged Donkey Kong Country to be. In a interview, Shigeru Miyamoto said of Donkey Kong 64 that Rare "really perfected the art" of making 3D action games and that "I bet you that it turns out to be the absolute best 3D action game available on any hardware - even including Dreamcast. In later years, critical reception to Donkey Kong 64 has been more mixed.
Modern retrospectives of the Donkey Kong series and reviews of the game's Wii U rerelease have criticized various aspects of Donkey Kong 64 's design such as the excessive gating of collectables and switches by characters, the tedium of having to backtrack to switch characters through the Tag Barrel , and the low quality and frustrating nature of many of the Bonus Stages [14] [15]. Publications such as Electronic Gaming Monthly blamed Donkey Kong 64 as one of the factors in the decreasing fortunes of the 3D platformer genre.
In a Famitsu poll to determine the "most memorable" games for each console, Donkey Kong 64 ranked 7th for the Nintendo 64 with votes [19] , being the only Donkey Kong game to make the list. The Kong's weapons originally resembled actual weapons, such as Donkey Kong's Coconut Shooter resembling a double barreled shotgun.
Donkey Kong 64 contains a variety of glitches, to a degree that the game is often considered to be one of the most broken games on the Nintendo Lag issues are common, most noticeably in Frantic Factory and few other places. To keep the gameplay at a steady pace, the developers implemented a movement speed-to-lag system, where the more lag there is, the faster characters move. Due to this, players can frequently clip through terrain.
Orange explosions cause massive lag, and the fact that the player can enter first person mode and throw oranges faster allowed the use of many more sequence breaks and wall clips. Most of the lag issues were fixed in the Virtual Console release of the game, which means some glitches are impossible to perform.
