This is Donkey Kong's head. I literally just realized this after 20 years.
I can't be the only one who noticed this
And I literally just realized it after you posted this image for this thread.
It drives meinsane_
WAT
well it is Donkey Kong country
>>318598934
I think it's because of CRT tvs you didn't noticed it
>>318598934
>DK64 also had DK head island
that fuckin continuity.
>>318598934
I'm sitting here trying to look at it like you couldn't guess it was Donkey Kong's head.
>>318601729
But its only and island?
OH MY GOD
I just realized the sky is blue!
>>318598934
>They expect you to believe DK island is big enough to support vast mountain ranges, pine forests and tropical jungle.
Where is this mountain located, where could it possibly be?
>DIDDY'S KONG QUEST

>>318601868
Country doesnt mean continent
>>318601995
the back of DK island stretches all the way to K2.
also that stage is beautiful, why don't we get games with artistic vision anymore?
>>318601995
The main map is bit of a simplification. I think only DKC3 tries to keep the main/sub maps consistent.
>>318601995
Near the top. Can't you see the mountains? Theres two of them in the OP picture. Obviously your pic is taken while standing on one, looking at the other.
>>318598934
It's a bit more obvious in DK2 oddly enough, since it's in the distance.
>tfw we will never get an HD version of this game with all the original vectors and artwork because it was all lost 20 fucking years ago.
>>318602498
>tfw getting to K. Rool's Keep and seeing it in the background
Seven year old me loved that shit so much
>>318598934
What do paint chips taste like?
>>318602440
But those mountains are impossibly shaped like dicks.
>>318598934
>the final area is just a thematic rehash of the mine and walkway stages
and yet, it still manages to feel pretty cool
>>318601995

>>318602980

>>318602980

Shit. After all these years
>>318598934
>that snot coming out of his nose
>>318602993
>all that artwork that went into an image that would inevitably be compressed and lose 50% of its detail
Isn't it weird how games these days don't even try for vector graphics this detailed- even though our modern resolutions can actually do them justice?
I want this gritty detailed style back
>>318603204
the caves are lower on DK Island elevation-wise.
So basically DK climbs the mountain for no reason, climbs down a bit- checks out the caves... then randomly decides to go swim out to K. Rool.
I wonder if any content was cut from this game in development.
"ok gentlemen do we have any ideas for bosses. i know! lets make a boss that's just a big oil drum"
>>318602014
hay annon wanna do some 9/11 tonight?
> i dont want to do it if diddy did it
>>318603835
Well I just mean thematically, obviously it makes more sense the way they're arranged on the map.
Also supposedly Gankplank Galleon was going to be an actual world instead of just the final boss fight but it was shelved until DKC2 because they couldn't get levels that were half water/half land like Lockjaw's Locker working in DKC.
>>318603835
The excuse is he's liberating his Bananas from every corner of his Island. Then K Rool shows up because reasons.
I replay all three SNES DKC games every year. I have been doing this since release.
>get to first boss
>background is comprised of countless thousands of bananas
>DK keeps going
He's actually kinda greedy looking back on it.
>>318598934
Why is DK Island so tiny in DK64? And furthermore, why can you see the sky when you're inside it?
>>318604330
How did those fuckers make off with that much bananas in a single stormy night and through such a small entrance?
>>318604330
There's bananas literally fucking everywhere. That nigger crocodile should have just picked his own instead of nigging out and stealing DK's entire stockpile and bringing it back to his ship. Nigga had to pay
Why did the ship only get closer the farther into the game you were? It stands to reasoning that the ship would already be there since the Kremlings were already there to stop DK from getting his bananas back.
>>318602021
Australia.
Both a country and a continent.
>>318604695
Because King K. Rool was coming to kick your ass.
Who is him?
>>318604695

I found Web Woods comfier than Ghostly Grove. The warmer colours and the mist make it cozier. And while DKC2 is the best game, but Northern Kremisphere is the best overworld. It's so comfy.
Every time I see it I remember playing with my brother and sister while we built things with our lego collection as we waited for whomever was playing the game to die so the next person got a turn.

Can you believe there was one a time where a Nintendo product was bundled with a Mario game and a DK game, yet the latter was the selling point?
how did this dong meme started?

Rare developed an in-house tool to draw all of these maps. You could draw it in a computer and load it directly to the catridge. These guys really made magic tricks
>>318605383
They're legit. I couldn't stand that mottled prerendered shit as a kid but as an adult I got past it and found out they were really solidly designed. DKC2 in particular is fantastic, better than Super Mario World.

That WAS Crocodile Isle before it got blown the fuck up in DKC2.Come to think of it what the fuck was up with Crocodile Isle anyway? It had some sort of mystical temple energy core bullshit going on, for what purpose?

Miyamoto was pissed that DK had stolen the spotlight from his precious Mario. So he actively tried to bury DK.
Such a shame. Ninty took Rare for granted.
>>318605793
DKC2 had a very gloomy and foeboding feel to it. Even the setting is a lot more moody.

Kind of like how Amerigo Vespucci has two entire continents named after him and neither are owned by Italy.
>>318606065
Miyamoto was pissed because everyone wanted him to do Yoshi's Island as prerendered due to DKC's influence.
>>318605729
Oh god, I can't unsee the dolphin orgasming on the back of Donkey Kong's head.
>>318606170

Seriously, if I heard DKC2's music without knowing the context, I'd think it was the soundtrack to some RPG, not a game about two monkeys going to save an ape from a bunch of crocodiles dressed like pirates.
>>318606079
I love the shit out of Stickerbrush but I think it's honestly a bit overrated.I prefer Hornet Hole.
>>318606108
>>318606170
From this all the way to Sticker Star, everything I've heard about Miyamoto makes him come off as a huge asshole.

>>318605958
All of Crocodile Isle was a facade to hide some kind of Nuke I'm guessing. That blue purple energy thing in the lost world was a superweapon to blow up DK island.
>>318605929
3D gameplay as you think of it, was a pipedream at the time.
Having shadows, textures, parallax scrolling, and lighting effects was more than enough to impress people back in the day.
>>318605640
DKC3 is weird, the atmosphere kind of gets me down until Mekanos/K3 where the game starts getting gud.
Razor Ridge is the best world in the game.
>>318606279
DKC2 has absolutely no business having a song like Krook's March in it's OST and I absolutely love it.
>>318606268
I always figured they were supposed to look like gumpy hillbillies or something.
Although I suppose that doesn't make sense with the bees
>>318602993
Was this version any better?
>>318606293
He also introduced that dumb blowing mechanic in DKC Returns. He said that the dust clouds DK kicked up when he started or stopped looked like blowing or something.
>>318606137
DKC wasn't super fx
>>318606293
But the art style of Yoshi's Island was 100% the right choice and one of the reason's people still call it the best ever.
There was no reason to for prerendered on Miyamoto when Square was already doing Super Mario RPG.
>>318606302
I love DKC2's soundtrack more than any album Ican think of.
>>318606293
>believing /v/'s gossip and lies

>>318603595
I heard Rare doesn't even have the original assets for the DKC games. Kinda depressing since I think their renders all had charm back then.
>>318606407
Given the plot of DK64, and the fact that K. Rool's weapon in that game looks like Crocodile Isle, that makes a lot of sense.
>>318606293
Rumors or not, you can tell he is a total fuckface with others that worked with him.
Similar to how Reggie just straight up lies when he says he plays videogames.
>>318598934
Oh fuck.
>>318606293
>>318606541
It's true. If you read IwataAsks, there are multiple times when the developers mention working with Miyamoto and he would literally flip tables when they did something he didn't like.
>>318605929
The DKC franchise is literally the pinnacle of SNES graphics.
>>318606504I actually think this looks cooler than the old one
Rest of the new maps suck though
>>318601545
You missed a good opportunity to let it drive youbananas
>>318606268
Some of the enemies made sense though. Like the buzzaws that repalced the zingers. You killed the Queen in the first game and then killed King Zing in the second so they went extict.

They were definitely a step down in design. DKC2 had some fun enemies, and what's cool is that they were all crocodiles. Just with different gimmicks and designs. The noise they make when you take them out is a sound effect I'll never forget.I miss the Kremlings
>>318606484
Nah, K3 is the best world because the Mountain stages are absolutely god tier.
>>318606508
Miyamoto always has these weird, cute little stories as to how he comes up with shitty ideas to hide the fact that it makes the game worse.
>>318606285

Speaking of normies.
Drake fucking sampled DKC2 for one of his albums.
It fucking sucks, and the original version is way better.
Are there any modern platformers that come even close to the level of quality DKs had?
Not just platforming, but music, sound, overall ambience?
>>318604903
Close, but Krook's March is objectively the greatest SNES theme of all time.

I've heard chimp caverns was a last minute decision, hence the zone introducing no new level theme and like one new asset (the track platform).
>>318606947
Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze is easily DKC2's equal
DKC: Returns is the same to DKC1, but you have to play the 3DS version, emulate, or put in gameshark codes on a hacked wii to avoid waggle.

I genuinely think Super Meat Boy is a great platformer. It's not really the same vein though since it's more precise. Rayman Origins is another one that's closer to DKC, but the Wii U version had a few shitty gimmick gamepad levels.
>>318606268

Are you sure he literally flipped tables?
I know he's been known to "flip the table" on projects, meaning that they start over from scratch in certain aspects when things weren't going smoothly, but is there actual proof or testimonies from people who've seen him doing it?

>>318604903
The preportions on those maps are fucked
Look at the swamp land, the mape shows a sunken ship as a sort of representation of the level theme, but they snuck in a little bit of clouds right above the ship to symbolize the first brier level.
This means the ship must be truly massive.
I know the map isn't meant to be to scale but it's one of the weirdest things they've done.

>>318607251

I'm fairly certain he did it once before, and after that it became an expression people used whenever Miyamoto wanted something changed.
>>318607240

>>318606109
Rumor has it that Miyamoto was getting pressure from Nintendo to make Yoshi's Island have 3D sprites like DKC did, and that he said that quote about DKC's graphics as a result. People also believe it was hinted at by Yoshi's Island intro cutscene, where Baby Mario and the Stork was made with 3D looking graphics

>tfw you love Dave Wise's music but you know Grant Kirkhope's distinctive sound is what will take up most of the YL soundtrack
>>318607719
Did that faggot David Wise even made anything to top it off? The only praise I heard about him is for this game

A lot of SNES - GBA ports looked awful. They had to increase the brightness for sprites to show up on the GBA screen because there was no backlight before the SP.

No, female slavs are just attractive.

The one problem with early DK is that since levels are based on level archtypes you had stuff like going from the middle of a Swamp to Open Sea at the drop of a hat.
But at least they made it green. Maybe the Trees are only in one direction and you're looking out to sea while on the ship or something, I don't know.
>>318607605
God damn, where are the trees? This is supposed to be a forest map

The factory level is called KremKroc Industries Incorporated, presumably the Kremlings invaded and constructed an industrial area after over-polluting Krocodile Island.
One of my favorite parts in 2 is getting to the Lost World and seeing evidence of the islands beauty and the Kremlings cultural splendor before they trashed the place and turned into filthy pirates.

I think he might be autistic. Like, actually autistic, not 4chan brand autistic.

I used to think David Wise and Phill Colins were the same person as a kid
>>318607592
I don't think anyone genuinely believes any of the trilogy are bad. My problem with DKC 3 is that Kiddy Kong is literally the worst Kong in the entire franchise (even worse than HE) and many of the level's gimmicks fall flat. DKC 1 is a goddamn masterpiece, but DKC 2 improves on the game in every way.
>>318607592
dkc2 was the best though. most content. best direction. best sense of urgency and an overarching goal and plot. most challenging, and best music imo.
the ability to hover with dixie was also amazing.
dkc1 had a lot of directionless parts and was kind of simple, and once you experience the hovering mechanic it feels kind of limited gameplay wise.
dkc3 was trying to be more of an openworld direction and was kind of silly and baby ish.
>>318606939
>pop rapper taking good music and turning it into shit
What else is new?I'm still mad about kayne west raping that King Crimson song
>>318607506
What bamboo tree?
>>318607835
Diddy Kong Racing?
Tropical Freeze?
>>318607915
Do female slavs squat all the time for no reason too?
>>318607835
He's done lots
he's also working on yooka laylee
>>318607831
I'm hoping it'll be split. I know they had some sample songs up and I liked both Grant and David's stuff. I don't mind Kirkhope at all, but sometimes his shit sounds samey.
>>318607831
Of the two tracks they initially showed, I think Wise's blows Kirkhope's out of the water.
>>318607831
Kirkhope is a one trick pony.
>>318607592
DKC2 is literally flawless.
>DKC1 & 2 favorite of all time
>Never played DKC3 til a week ago
>it's ok
>>318607813
I will respectuflly disagree with you, Mining Melancholy is however easily #2 on the OST. That video is horrible though.
>>318607835
DKC 2 is his magnum opus, but other than this franchise he also did Battletoads and Wizards and Warrior. And presumably a bunch of other games I don't know off the top of my head
>>318607948
you like phil colins?
>>318608079
>samey
I believe the word you're looking for is "similar".
>>318607731
He got the idea of Pikmin from his garden.

Cool, a Donkey Kong Country thread. Can anyone identify the song playing at 3 minutes and 20 seconds in this video? I'm sure it's from one of the DKC games and I thought it was a snow level theme, but every snow level theme I found wasn't it.
>>318607129
That's exactly what happened with Sticker Star.
>>318608176
It's kind of harsh to say but I find it kind of sad he wasted his career on video games. Feels like he had the talent to be much more.
>>318608181
>8181
checked
>>318608034
Uh where's the Island?
>>318608091
I dunno man Wise's new shit can sound a bit pretentious, dunno how you can pull that off in video game music but he does it
>>318608181
Yeah, what's not to like about Phill Collins besides that stupid susudio song?
He wasn't as overplayed in the US as I hear he was in Europe.
>>318605958
I think the Lost World was the last untouched piece of nature on the island, kept safe and preserved. Inside the Krocodile Kore there is evidence that the Kremlings were once capable of being fine craftsmen, constructing beautiful objects and buildings. The Kore itself seems to be the nucleus of the island, keeping it intact despite the fact its a giant pile of rocks, garbage, and ghosts. Was it the source of the Kremling civilizations power? Is it a lost piece of technology from a more civilized time? We may never know. When the Kore blow it takes the rest of the island with it.
>>318608227
Sure, if you wanted to use a synonym.
>>318607917
All the ship levels were made green so at the very least they wanted you pretend you were on the wrecked ship during that level.
My point is more that someone took the liberty of adding a small patch of clouds on the over map to represent a level.
These clouds aren't "far away", if you were a person on that ship assuming it was in proportion it would be a small puff of mist. I think there might even be some bramble textures near them.
These clouds imply that the ship is massive if the clouds are supposed to represent the area in the level.
We get to see the INSIDE of K Rool's keep in the GBA version.
>>318608181Phil Colin did two good songsI still wish he didn't rape Genesis
>>318606970
I would just sit at his bridge just to hear this song back in the day.

I like how he was mean and threatening to Diddy, yet the second you pay up, he starts acting like an old friend.
>>318607835
he contributed on the DKC2 OCRemix. The tracks are hit or miss
>>318608176
RC Pro AM. Everything Rare before the N64 days is 90% probability of being David Wise.

D: I'm perturbed by this only because I didn't see it myself
>>318608228
No, he got the idea of Pikmin from his black slaves doing hard labor work.
>>318608251
C'mon son, it's Ice Cave Chant from DKC 1
>>318608347
More like if you want to speak English. Samey isn't a word.
>>318608356
Fucking gross.
>>318608356
That makes more sense, the worst thing about that world was the levels not making any sense as you climbed the tower.
