You may have noticed that there was no DKC2 yesterday and that is because Artix doesn't have any time at all this week to work on it, so we're bumping DKCR up a day early to compensate. As an aside, this is apparently the CJacobs week because he's guesting in DKCR this week as well.

The number of close misses while trying to grab vines in this video really makes that grab animation completely worth it.

I am working on DKC2, I swear! It's just that my schedule for this week is 8:30 PM - 6 AM with an hour drive both ways, which leaves me like, 3-4 hours to do everything that is not sleeping, working, or driving to work. And frankly, I would much rather play video games than edit footage of them on that kind of time constraints.

It'll give me more time to practice that level in Gloomy Gulch and show why it's a great level.

You want to talk about war crimes, the fact that the checkpoint pig's name isn't Checkpoink is the greatest of them all. Also from the last Tropical Freeze video, I approve of the idea of Donkey Kong but with Resident Evil 4 style death animations.

DKC3 had a maximum percentage of 105%, so you're off by one. And you're right, for that game they didn't put anything like a DK Coin in a bonus level, or a bonus level inside another bonus level. There were, however, two incidents of using Perry the Parallel Bird to unlock a Bonus Barrel, and you only had one shot to beat it. If you screwed up, you'd have to play the level all over again.

I seem to recall that Cranky's trash bin of discarded heroes was labelled "No Hopers," and that Cranky's little editorials in the manual seemed to use the phrase a lot as well. That movie with the running gag about the phrase "fetch" was a good decade or so from coming out but it would have been a useful reference.

So far as bosses go, he's oddly simplistic in his design; just a polar bear with a hammer. The arena you're fighting him in seems to be more interesting than the dude himself. That, combined with the part where the game only lets you hit him once before he does a lengthy pratfall into the piranha-filled syrup river (?) means that the boss fight seems unnecessarily padded and tedious. Then again, boss fights in this game seem to be kind of padded in general.

well he also had a popsicle but somebody had to ruin his day i mean, i like his arena and i like his weird magic ice hammer and i like his music and i like his animations and i like how instead of turning red because he's mad he turns purple because you keep dunking him in popsicle juice and i like that he's a viking polar bear wearing a championship belt Looper fucked around with this message at 20:47 on Feb 1, 2016 |

I'm pretty sure the Polar Bear is meant to be the second in command of the Snomads, hence why he gets a magical weapon. He's also in my opinion the coolest boss in this game.

As far as Retro game boss fights go, the polar bear didn't look that bad. Apparently, its name is "Bashmaster, the Unbreakable." All the bosses except the last one have a similar naming format- the third boss is named "Ba-Boom, the Boisterous" and the first was "Pompy, the Presumptuous." get that OUT of my face fucked around with this message at 06:34 on Feb 2, 2016 |

It's a well designed boss from a casual standpoint. Easy to figure out, forgivable, great music, lots of visual detail (such as his fur slowly getting more and more stained). Speed runners hate him because for them he's entirely RNG and there's no way to speed him up and get faster hits unlike with every boss previously. Him and the final boss are annoying slogs for speed runners. Not that any of the other 9-hit wonders are exactly fun from a speedrunner's point of view, but they all have at least a little trick here or there (or in Fugu's case: buying an invincibility potion and just sitting inside him, swinging Cranky's cane).

Bashmaster's boss theme is probably my favorite in the game. It's not fast, but it's got this solid hard rock core to it when it gets going that tells you this dude you're fighting is one bad polar bear.

Artix has made a few references with guests to in-jokes from a DKC64 lp that they were in but I can't seem to find it listed on the archive or master list. I have not played DKC64 since release and remember almost nothing about it so I'm curious to see what it was. I'd really appreciate if someone could link me to that lp.

The other half of that story, the non-DK related part, is that White Knight Chronicles: Origins was also a dreadfully boring game that I couldn't make interesting either if I LP'd it. It held its story hostage behind mountains of tedious repetitive missions, and even then, the story was a boring non-starter that wasn't even rizzable like the PS3 games' ones were because nothing happened in it. I never even finished playing through it for the sake of getting my bearings in preparation for LPing it. It was just painful. Though in regard to the failed DKC64 LP itself:

Basically it is in a cage spitting on you and you have to release it from the cage to solve the temple puzzle. ...but it had to be in the cage for a reason, right???? What if it was a serial killer and the kongs just let a murderer run loose in the name of banana?????
