Lake Orangatanga

Every stage have W-Barrel

Kremwood Forest

Same here. Boss can't shot kongs because i get barrel so fast

Cotton-Top Cove

In Second stage i get damage couple of times because it's faster as wait bee goes away.

In third stage i played last section of stage to jumping on the water, i saved some frames with it.

Mekanos

In first & fourth stage i throw Dixie up to save some frames

Stage three.. this can be looking "little" boring but i abused auto-scroll screen a little to finish stage faster.

K3

in 3 th stage in the end i shooted "web" before sign, becouse Kiddy was able to roll straight way to goal.

Razor Ridge

in stage 1 : i taked damage to save time. When you take DK barrel with squawks it's much faster than using apes to get it.

stage 2 is slow. I tried to make it look fun :)

In stage 4 : I didn't use Ellie & Squitter, i was able to be faster without them.

in boss second turning i went inside a boss with this i got drills doing damage faster on boss.

Kaos Kore

in stage 1 : i used (climbed?) mechanic ropes to save time

in the stage 3 : I manipulated thunder to smash closer to me and i mustn't stop everytime then

Final Boss : i tried to throw barrel(s) to hit boss so fast as possible.

Very good run in my eyes, watched a couple of WIP's and even being a long run, doesn't gets boring. Yes.

[Sami]

Guybrush ask me and i tell he what rom i used

[Guybrush]

And I deleted my post because I was stupid and didn't remember that it reads in the submission info.

But about your run Sami, it's just great! Very entertaining movie!
Voting YES.

[Sami]

Thanks Guybrush. Some reason i can't delete those two posts :E

[JXQ]

You can only delete your most recent post if no one has posted after you, unless you're an editor or something.

I personally didn't like this game much, but the run is played very precisely from what I can tell, and there are many who do like the game, so I vote yes.

In the cave level where you play as the bird, there is a part where you fly very close to an enemy, but don't die, but the number of lives remaining comes onto the screen. I wonder if you tricked the game into thinking you were dead somehow.

[Sami]

It comes up when i collect 100 bananas and get extra life

[tool23]

Could you also say what difficulty its played at, and what % you end with? thanks

[Bablo]

*yes*
Now Sami where is 100% run? (or is it 101%?)

[supermegavkoy]

I thought it was 105%.

[Sami]

Run is 43%

I make 105% run but later :)

I say many times this is not 105% run, it's fastest possible :p

[supermegavkoy]

Yeah, but I meant that 101% isn't the most, it's 105%.

[JXQ]

I always thought it was 103%, just like how DKC1 was 101% and DKC2 was 102%.

[Sami]

If you don't collect midle stage barrels you get 105%

[Maza]

Yes, very nice and fast looking run.

Few points which got my attention:
First, the way you take the DK barrels was just so nicely planed. By this I mean that you take those barrels only when it doesn't slow you down (by stopping the screen for a moment).
Second, all those little sortcuts where you throw your buddy to skip a barrel or something were also great.
Third, those parrto stages rocked! They were so fast it was sometimes hard to keep up. ;)
And fourth, I really liked the shellfish bossbattle. I never knew you could get on him without getting hurt. Plus it was very fast (like the whole game ;) ).

the only minus (to me atleast) was the saw stage. You kept climbing the tree offscreen so it started to get a little boring. Of course it was first kinda cool to see you jumping for every branch before you could even see them, but after a while it started to get a bit boring.

A YES vote from me!

[Sami]

Maza saw stage must go offscreen. Otherwise it's slower
