DKC Atlas Forum

Hi to all remaining guys,

To celebrate DKCs 25th anniversary (in advance ), GameXplain did an interview with Gregg Mayles:


On another note, I'm still hoping that Nintendo will release DKC on SNES Online for a proper celebration!

Someone recently uploaded his DKC2 footage from the E3 in 1995. Of course there are many differences, but the most interesting bit (at least for myself) was the animation of the beta title screen with the old "Diddy Kong's Quest". https://youtu.be/Op5EkC7GbxQ?t=2h10m30s Some obvious differ...

Next: DKC2's covers
Like last time, I tried to do my best to restore the original quality of the guide

I tried my best to restore the original picture by editing out scratches, dust particles and printing errors

Okay, now I've corrected the mistake as good as possible

Just added those player guides to my little collection!
3 of them I've never owned before, so this weekend is dedicated to read 'em all

Is already underway! http://i.imgur.com/Nk6WLKz.png:large Sorry for posting late, but I totally missed sharing this information earlier!

You're right folks, it really looks like they used their previous built 3D objects from DKC3 to quickly create prototype levels. They probably just changed some details like color, lighting and the direction the object is facing for many parts. But it looks amazing nonetheless! Nice touch they consi...

Thanks for showing me the right twitch page! Too much copy&paste from my side...

I've now corrected it

This year's SGDQ charity marathon is now underway!

This time, all donations go to Doctors Without Borders



Marathon Schedule

It looks like they have moved Donkey Kong Country 2, it will start in about 2 hours!
Looks like it will be a 4 way race!

Unfortunately, it will be the last DK game for this marathon. I recommend you to watch the Yoshi's Island run for compensation!

Our journey is complete! Thanks for the ride!
And happy birthday, DKC!

Having seen the latest update news on Facebook, I couldn't resist having a look on the forum :D Good news everyone: I finally got the time to visit our journey to 101% completion more often! Our new Orang-utan Gang map — complete with all five Bonus Areas! https://pbs.twimg.com/media/ByjjxunCMAAo9z_...

A nice way of celebrating DKC! And there clearly went some thinking into the design and placement of the new elements

You're welcome! :swanky: As you might have noticed, I also missed last years "Summer Games" event. If I haven't seen the advertisement on some of my favourite runners Twitch channels, I would have been completely missing it, too! Sadly, you don't see much (if any) coverage of this in the m...

Just noticed that the "Summer Games Done Quick 2014" is already underway! http://gamesdonequick.com/static/res/img/sgdq2014/banner.jpg Unfortunately, we already missed DKC played by Garrison and DKC2 played by Garrison and Twig, but I'm sure there will be found an recording soon! There it ...

Happy belated birthday and thanks for the nice gallery!

As always, there are donations going on for saving or not saving the animals in Super Metroid. Even if they won't be saved in the game, we know they would save them in real life: http://i.imgur.com/EG3SpnJ.gif Although this animal is not real one :D Someone already photoshopped it to make it more dr...

Oh my! What is happening there?
Sounds like a fire alarm has been turned on! I hope it is false alarm and everything will be okay!

Let the Toungings begin!

Yoshis Island is starting soon!

I've just watched the TASes and although I've already seen some of them, I was totally surprised to see Pong and Snake! I expected to see the ending of SMW, like in the published TAS :D Time to watch BK, it can be found here: http://www.twitch.tv/speeddemosarchivesda/profile/pastBroadcasts Doesn't w...

@Qyzbud: I'm not sure if it's error on my side, but your countdown timer looks like it's 1 hour off.
It says 2 hours and 35 minutes while in the chat on twitch, everyone expects the marathon to start in 1 hour and 35 minutes

You may have already seen it, here is AVGN's view on this matter:

This year's AGDQ charity marathon is now underway! http://gamesdonequick.com/static/res/img/agdq2014logos/1.png " Speed Demos Archive , the home to video game speed runs, is proud to present the fourth annual speed running marathon: Awesome Games Done Quick 2014. It is a 7-day online event...

It's cool to see Dixie and David are back in the team! :-) I have heard about David's return on Twitter and wasn't sure if this info was legit. Nice that you guys have found enough proof to back this up! Makes me even more exited! :D As long as they fixed that you don't have to shake to roll as in t...

Someone has gotten his hands on a rare E3 VHS takeaway: nkGuhMCCslM The fun begins at about 12 minutes. These are definately beta shots, complete with static banana groups and a surfing Funky Kong :) Looks like we have already seen some material in other ads, but there should be even more. As always...

Tompa recently uploaded a slightly improved Any% TAS:

http://tasvideos.org/2365M.html

Hi guys! I have recently rediscovered a well-written article on the site sirlin.net that explains why DKC2 is as good as it is :swanky: Sirlin is a game designer and a competetive Street Fighter player (and the lead designer from the HD Remix!) It really is a nice read that covers anything one could...

6vACc4FXM0A Those glitches are as incomprehensible as the warps seen in Tompa's DKC TAS :D Interesting how they triggered the 2 player Adventure Mode without using the cheat code! A completed save file is needed to unlock all tracks in time trial and the additional drivers, so it technically looks ...

Hi guys, I found this Spanish Commercial from DKC3 on youtube: http://youtu.be/KTZvR2bi85Q On the first picture you can see the different clouds already mentioned by Markster and you get a better look at the beta background, that has different mountains and trees. The Sneak is missing just like the ...

Me speedrunning? I wish I'd be good enough to get even close to them! :D Nice race guys! Especially in the beginning, when Tompa after a small mistake almost caught up to tjp. But luck wasn't on his side... Maybe Tompa was more focused on explaining all those tricks and subframe things that are goin...

Tompa time in less than an hour! Get your streams ready! :dixiehappy: I hope you'll get this in time, as it about an hour earlier than sheduled. SDA: "[...] schedule for the AGDQ2013 Marathon [..] is subject to change at any time." Starts! Tompa uses the setup time to perform the Donkey ri...

It's not like there aren't any glitches in Banjo-Kazooie

Cronikeys found an interesting one:

Looks like it isn't used yet outside of TASing.

I couldn't see the whole Banjo run, about 5 o'clock in the morning I finally fell asleep!

Life at university is more stressful than ever, preventing me from visiting this forum that often. But if I find something DK-related worth mentioning, I'm not letting you guys down ;) I haven't thanked you yet for implementing the games soundtracks on the maps! I really like that feature! Their ser...

Hi guys! The Awesome Games Done Quick 2013 marathon has begun! http://marathon.speeddemosarchive.com/res/img/agdq2013logos/1.png "Awesome Games Done Quick is SDA's charity marathon benefiting the Prevent Cancer Foundation. The marathon runs January 6-12." Those guys from SDA's, like you mi...

It is nice to see that the site development is moving on again. And I'm really looking forward for the things to come in the next months! The factory levels are definately one of my favourites in visual style and also music. Apropos music: It would be cool to have the option to switch on the corresp...

Thanks guys!

Gnawzooka, I hope your birthday was as good as mine!

Can't wait to get my hands on this game!
It could easily be my game of the year 2010!

One question: Damn! Where can a european like me get such awesome DKCR merchandise? At least there is nothing like a limited edition listed on amazon's german site...

Impressive run, Tompa!

Watching this, my expectations in your 101% run got even higher!

I've just recently bought the game and I already got the Super Guide as early as the end of World 1 :D There is at least one really cruel level (9-7, I hate you!) and some well hidden star coins. It tooked many hours to find all the missing coins, despite some inbuild game tips. So far it's a very g...

I've just read about this and I'm sorry to hear about your PC problems Simion32. I hope your backup procedures are done soon and good luck for those! The only thing I can do for you is recommending online backup/sync services like Dropbox, which is the one I use. They may only give you 2 up to 3 GB ...

Veldhoven is definately in Google!

My first guess was somewhere in the Netherlands and Wikipedia confirmed this idea.

I've just bought a Wii yesterday, finally.

And thanks to my patience, I've ended up getting the recently released black one. It looks very nice!

Super Smash Brothers Brawl is as good as I expected. It is more than a game, it is like a Nintendo museum.

Beta testing on different operating systems is a good point Qyzbud. You've also reminded me that I have not tested the old beta on my new computer yet. (My old system stopped working, too. Thanks to MSDNAA, I could jump from XP to Windows 7 immediately as early as August) Testing results (Windows 7 ...

I've been watching the DK stream since DKC3, so I missed DKC1 and DKC2 earlier.
It's nice to see them playing DKC again just for fun.

Sorry for not joining the chat over there Tompa, I'm lazy

Edit: I've finally beaten my laziness, I'm in

The concept image looks very impressive and very promising at the same time

Keep up the good work!

I'm sure the scene with the bunch of vultures is part of a bonus level.

Edit: First bonus in Temple Tempest

It may be a little bit late, but:

Happy birthday Qyzbud!

Happy birthday, Kiddy16!

and happy birthday for everyone I missed the last weeks!

First, if they would do another show with computer graphics, they must use the original models. They look much better than those seen in the old series They also have to get rid of those stupid songs, or at least not in every episode. The idea that the rivalry between Kongs and Kremlings shouldn't b...
