This guide is great, showing succinctly a lot of tricks to save time in the game. It's also useful to casual players who could use some of those warps and tricks to make some of the stages easier. I've completed Snow Barrel Blast the long way, but once I learned about that shortcut barrel under the 3rd barrel in the series, I have used it whenever possible.

Thanks for the tips! My brother and I race each other in DKC every 3 to 6 months. 4 years back, we used to average 1 hour and 15 minutes, but it has now been trimmed down to an average of 55 minutes. It's really fun when we're within a minute or 2 when racing. We're not consistent enough to trim down those last few minutes, but we're content with sub 1 hour :)

As a guy who's done amateur 100% runs of DKC1 and 2 (read: not streamed, not using major glitches, just me, a GameFAQs speed guide, and time to kill), I can confirm that a lot of this is also VERY helpful for 100% runs! One tip that is unique to them though: sometimes it's helpful to take a warp, finish the level, then come back for the bonus rooms and Start/Select when you're done. One level in DKC2 even has you enter it THREE times in an optimal run!

For the warp on the world map: The reason it works is because the Funky Barrel, or one of the Kongs, stop there for one frame and when your character has stopped, the game assume you are on a level, so you are able to enter it. And I kinda regret the mention about the lag frame for the left barrel during the Queen B fight... As it's not really accurate, but "sadly" it has become a thing =). Videos like these are always great!

miigs I don’t think he runs them, with that said there are almost certainly guides out there, since the Metroid series (especially Super Metroid) are some of the most popular speedgames there is! Also, even in games without a guide, there’s almost always a discord or other forum where you can ask any questions you need. Even in a game with only 7 leaderboard times, all 6+ months old, I was able to join the discord, get old tricks explained, and even some new ones that weren’t in runs yet! So now I’m #2 just cause of getting taught and finding new tricks, despite being pretty bad lol Which specific games are you interested in? Cause I could help you look stuff up. In general though: check speedrun.com, look up the game, check the tabs ”guides”, ”resources” and ”forum”. Or google ”[game] speedrun guide/tutorial” :)

I see an argument a lot that speedrunners don't enjoy/know the games they speedrun as much as someone that casually plays it. It's an argument that never made any sense to me, especially since a friend of mine speedruns a lot of games (currently he does Ape Escape 3, Space Channel 5 which he currently has the WR on, Cuphead, Hat in Time, and plans to add Lollipop Chainsaw, Kingdom Hearts, and Shantae Half-Genie Hero). This video definitely goes to show that argument is full of BS.

@TompaA
6 жыл бұрын
The normal way of accessing that barrel is to use the tire that is found over to the right and then push it back to that point. Like the warp in Vulture Culture, 7:00, it can only be accessed with Donkey Kong, switching to Diddy makes the barrel non-existant. Rare are tricky...
@Trollseeder

hey little thing, at 7:05 you can have Diddy selected just switch to DK once you arrive at the barrel and it will show :) also at 11:09 you can just jump on the barrel while being DK from the floor (DK jumps just a bit higher)

Having played this game casually dozens of times and having watched numerous speedruns of it, today finally I thought I'll give speedrunning it a try (if anything, to show off some tricks to a friend at least). I'm actually surprised how accessible speedrunning DKC is. Using the WR vid, a marathon vid and this tutorial as references (basically a trade-off between execution vs explanation ^^), I already got to world 3 with what feels like some decent movement (of course still worlds apart from actual speedrunners, but still, I'm very satisfied how much improvement I made in just a day). The tricks themselves really aren't that hard, I expected to struggle MUCH more, wasn't expecting them to actually be FUN learning experiences instead :D. I can only recommend everyone to try them themselves instead of just watching for years, being overwhelmed, like I did >__

I'm just gonna leave this thought here since it is relevant to the topic of speedrunning and it's something I've noticed. I dislike how speedrunners will refer to playing a game normally (key word "normal") as "casually". I don't know about you, but I've seen many people in the gaming world use the word "casual" in not the greatest way. It's a word with some stank on it in this community as I like to say. Actual casual gaming is about games that are pretty light and easy and doesn't refer to many games that are popular to speedrun. Basically, "casual" means that something is lighter or easier than normal or average difficulty. But playing a game normally is just that...normal. So it's technically not accurate to say "casual". I know it's not the biggest deal in the world, but I'd avoid using it and be more accurate and welcoming by using "normal". Again, don't misunderstand. It's not a huge deal, but it's a little area of improvement and I'm sure that should appeal to people who are used to figuring out tiny areas of improvement.

I can also recommend checking out runs from events like Games Done Quick and European Speedrunner Assembly, just cause they’re there to show off the game and explain what’s going on, not only going the fastest And yeah snoman, keep doing these. I think you have a great platform to lure more people to the terrible drug of speedrunning 😉
