That would be great, but without a Kremlin flag we can not enter any location, so even if we manage to go up the waterfall, there's not much to do there, I may be wrong though.
anyway, now that I can use TAS Movie Editor after reset, I'm doing a test run to collect the Bear Coins using the any%, it may be ready in two weeks or so.
I am old enough to know better, but not enough to do it.

Yes, but I'm also trying to find as many Bear Coins as I can, so we can see wich ones are more "on track" than the others, and then collect only the faster ones.

Oh dude, I have the official Players Guide, which lists all (well, probably most) of them, so I could give you a basic description of where all of them are.

Unless there are some fancy skips that I'm not aware of (quite likely :P), this is the chain of requirements to get 105%:
Gyrocopter and some Bear trading to get the Banana birds.
All DK coins to get the Gyrocopter, which includes beating K.Roolenstein in the Lost World.
Get all golden cogs to fight K.Roolenstein 2, which includes getting all Bonus Coins.
Getting all Bonus Coins inlcude beating K.Roolenstein the first time, which includes beating all non-Lost World levels and beating all other bosses.
That matches perfectly with what I remember of this game. That sums up to "Collect all bonus coins (2, 3 in Lost World) and the DK coin in all stages. Also kill all bosses for either bonus coins or parts of the next boat." with the extra of "collect all banana birds from caves and side quests".
I'm really looking forward to this 105% run. I wish you all good luck :)

Thanks for the info, that sure will be faster than find them all by myself. I'm downloading it right now.
/it's already here, and it's very detailed indeed, thanks again ElectroSpecter.

Internet pleasures, little boy.
Well... it doesn't surprise me that it can be done (this is the internet, after all), I just figured it would be difficult if not impossible to find due to low interest.

Those green banana bonus are trying to drive me crazy, so, I'll focus on the Bear Coins instead.
here's a test I'm doing using the existing wips to collect extra ones, not optimal, but still fast.

Mekanos' done, but looks like this run will be on hold for some time, a new glitch on Donkey Kong Country 2
may force a redo on the 102% run, not confirmed yet, but it's possible, I'm still stuck on Lakeside Limbo anyway...

Thankyou, I know it's not very useful to watch test runs, but there's some things on it that will be present on the final run, so, you can consider it as a "beta" version.
ElectroSpecter just finished his Bear Coin list, and I'm halfway done with mine, I guess we can start the actual run in about two weeks.

Personally, I'd much rather have a long overdue new run than a new version of an old run.

It's just a test run for the Bear Coins, but I'm also testing character management,
shortcuts, ways to clear bonus rounds faster and etc. anyway, up to Lemguin Lunge.
/a small update; Buzzer Barrage is done, 41 coins so far.

Sorry to double post, but this is important; there's no way to enter the second bonus or collect the DK coin in Kong-Fused Kliffs,
the camera keep pushing Kiddy to where he was supposed to be without the glitch or zip him straight to the flag. any suggestions?

Maybe you've already tried these, but here are my thoughts:
Method A) Since the game bumps Kiddie back down to the rope whenever you do anything other than jumping, maybe you could keep jumping on the rope at the very top of the level (or stand on the ledge with the flag) until the camera is about to pass the second bonus. Then just do anything to teleport Kiddie back down to the rope and jump to the bonus. Maybe the screen scrolls too fast downward for this to work?
Method B) Switch to Dixie at some point and use her helicopter move (if this even works offscreen, I think it should) to jam her in that nook with the bonus barrel. Then just turbo B to keep her in there until the camera passes and loads the barrel.
As for the issues with Koin, perhaps things will change for the better after you do the second bonus. In the likely event that they don't, I have a few suggestions:
- Did you try re-jumping onto the rope and breaking the camera again as it tries to go back down?
- Did you try jumping to the ledge on the left at the top of the rope instead of to the ledge with the flag? This may force the camera up and left instead of up and right, but this also may pose problems getting to the flag if this works.
- If all else fails, the last part of the level could be just done normally, which would kinda stink.

Actually, after some testing, this is what I came up with:
- Do what you did through most of the WIP
- When you reach the wooden platform on the left at the top, jump to it, do a team throw to get Dixie up by the keg (Koin's collision will be loaded already) and then drop to the other side. This breaks the camera in the other direction.
- As soon as the camera is high enough, team throw back up onto the ledge to grab the keg (for this step, you have to wait for the camera to get really high up, as getting up on the keg ledge forces the camera down again)
- Kill Koin with it somehow and get the DK coin
- This is the weird part. If you do all the previous steps fast enough, you should be able to run right and grab the rope at the correct time so that you teleport down near the bonus. By this time, the flame at the bottom of the rope should be approaching meaning the camera will stop forcing you down so fast, meaning you should be able to reach the bonus
- If not, you should change how long you wait up by Koin before forcing the camera down.
At worst, this strategy will save the time that it takes to get the DK coin, which is still great.

Thank you for the tips, I'm trying all of them right now, but looks like only the DK coin can be collected faster, oh well...
/we still must wait for the bonus barrel to spawn, but it worked! here, 46 Bear Coins so far, thanks again ElectroSpecter.

Is this really a test run?
If the completed test run was submitted I think it would be accepted, it is a very high quality run!
I was amazed by some of the tricks, you just run through the stages like there is nothing holding you, it's amazing!
