The intention of the song seems to be for introducing the characters of the game and their abilities - that said, it was met with much bemusement and mockery from the gaming public. Also, the game has an excess of different collectibles which was a characteristic of many Rare games at the time.ĭonkey Kong 64 also featured a unique intro movie, which was actually a song called the ' DK Rap'. However, the game goes even further by having 5 different playable characters with different abilities and weapons. The game borrows a lot of characteristics found on games like Super Mario 64, such as the ground pound and the backflip.

The game required the Expansion Pak accessory in order to play it, which came bundled with the game cartridge at its launch. Personally I wouldn't call a set awful just because I only liked 90% of it.Donkey Kong 64 was a 3D platform game released for the Nintendo 64 in 1999. If you make sure you use the same character to purchase all the non kong-specific upgrades it's easy to track down who's coins your missing.Įither way theres no shame in not going for 100%. The one you gotta worry about most is actually the collect all coins achievement. Especially since this allows the character swap with no tag barrel mod. Taking the achievements as they come instead of letting the scope of the entire game weigh on you before you start gives a way different perspective imo. But I find a lot of sets in general seem scary until you're playing the game. The most questionable one of the set, flying to the top of K.rool's ship using Diddy, does require you watch a video to know the route you need to take to avoid the invisible no-jetpack walls but it's not so bad either.ĭunno, I get it 'cuz DK64 was the first set I played on this site and the missables made me nervous at first. (Fast forward hotkey is allowed in case you didn't know) And K.rool is a long fight but he's generally not gonna surprise you once you memorized his patterns. The spinning ice maze damageles was a bit challenging but it's a short moment that's really quick to just die and try again. Not killing Kosha doesn't really change the level a whole lot. Well for example jump up superstar the solution is simply to just move a rock behind the temple and backflipping off of it.
