That game seems to get picked on these days, but back when it came out my brother and I were all about it. How's it hold up?

Still a ton of fun to play but I forgot how frustrating it can be. Some janky controls but that's part of it's charm
The only way to play this game is Kong barrel anywhere code, it fixes 95% of the games tedious backtracking
Donkey Kong 64 has a widescreen toggle in the options which I don't think you're using. This looks like 4:3 stretched to 16:9, you'll have a better time with real widescreen.
Rare were pretty good about this, after the first few games (Blast Corps, Diddy Kong Racing, Banjo-Kazooie?) they started putting widescreen support in most of their N64 releases.
Banjo-Kazooie did not have widescreen but Banjo-Tooie did
Yeah I'm gonna switch it, I forgot all about that option!
Admit it, you've just been getting down to the DK Rap.
I usually do let the song play for a little bit before starting
April, hit it!
Don't forget picking up the recently discovered coin! https://kotaku.com/donkey-kong-64-speedrunner-finds-hidden-coin-after-17-y-1791824680
is that a VHS/DVD combo unit? You are really going into the retro thing.
Hell yeah it is!
Yes! He's finally back!
DK! Donkey Kong!
