His coconut gun can fire in spurts. If he shoots ya, it's gonna hurt.

Hope you're not playing on an actual N64, the Mario Bros. arcade game is impossible with that controller.
>>
>>344715407
Don't play it.

Way too much backtracking. Way too fucking much.

Generally speaking, it gets worse the longer you play, with only a few good parts near the end.

backtracking worse than banjo tooie

Why start now?

>>344715407
It sucks. Play DKC instead
>>
It's a man's collectathon. If you haven't played the Banjo games before this then I highly advise you do so - if those games get on your nerves then forget about even acknowledging DK64. On the flipside, if they leave you needing more then DK64 will give you more until you're damn sick of it, with 5 characters' worth of collectibles to find over the course of the game.
>>
Theres a cheat code that lets you switch characters on the fly with L, use it if you can
Cuts down a metric fuck ton of backtracking and makes the game a lot more enjoyable
>>
>>344716780

>an N64 game that uses the L button for anything

Filthy lies.
>>
>>344716883
Thats why the code sets the action to L retard

Post the code then.

Don't

I never once got annoyed while playing this game. It's a fun game.
>>344717190
Also listen to this OP. The game has some weird bug that gets fixed by an expansion pack for whatever reason
>>
>>344716407
Well good

>>344717378

Shouldn't be a problem if its on an Emulator, right?

HAHAHA

Yeah you'll probably be fine. I hear that game is wonky on emulator though. Not quite sure.

What's your setup? PC? Actual n64 + Everdrive 64? Details, anon.

The staff probably thought they were jokes but someone as can be seen here >>344716481 clearly was NOT happy with how the game turned out.
>>
>>344717898
Also prioritize blueprints. They're easy golden bananas and each one adds a minute to the time limit in the final level.
>>
>>344715407
DK's Coconut gun can fire in spurts IIRC. Make sure to not get hit, as it will hurt if he shoots you.

No one will ever fix the expand dong problem.

I think the rape scene was a little unnecessary. Scared me off from games for a while.

>>344718714
I thought it was artistically done.

>>344717843
Only version that works properly until 2.3 releases. Doesn't matter, anyway. CEN64 will blow it out of the water after a year or two. PJ64 will still be hot flying garbage by that time.

Fun game, but don't get too hung up on collecting every single damn thing because you WILL burn out.

There are some notoriously awful levels like Gloomy Galleon, but overall they aren't too annoying.

Enjoy the music. It can ease up some of the game's tedium.

Overall, if you like Rareware-style 3D platformers then you will enjoy DK64.
>>
I love Rare, but this games pretty shitty. Play Conker's BFD instead.
>>
Well shit, I just played it for a bit over a half hour

Why does DK's controls feel like hes on ice?
Why the fuck does the camera lock at the worst times?

Also I can see why backtracking is an issue, fuck I'm already exhausted from the first level.
>>
>>344720336
You are already exhausted from the first level? How? You only have 2 characters at that point and the first level is very straightforward. Maybe the game just isn't for you

WALNUTS, PEANUTS, PINEAPPLE SMELLS
