The opening theme to the original Donkey Kong Country

A speedrun of Surface Tension in Donkey Kong Land 3. I was expecting this run to be more exciting, but it ended up being more boring than I hoped. It's still a fairly good run, though.

A speedrun of Deck Trek in Donkey Kong Land.

The physics are really odd in Donkey Kong Land. Not only can you jump up ropes like in other DKC and DKL games to go faster, but it's much easier than it is   more...in other games! In this game, all you have to do is hold Up and keep pressing A. It's really weird to watch, so this run takes advantage of the technique as much as possible.

A speedrun of Freezing Fun in Donkey Kong Land. The physics are interesting in this game in that you speed up a LOT when you bounce off of enemies -- the exact opposite with other games. This ends up   more...being really fun to do in this level, where I come up with lots of creative ways to speed up by bouncing off of enemies. The only real mistake is around the O, where I miss the second Hogwash and stop for a bit.

I skip the O and the K to save time.  less

Donkey Kong Country

Somebody has a bit too much time on their hands. Check out this lego version of the Donkey Kong video game.

The Game Over screen from DKC. This creeps people out for some reason.

The Game Over screen in the Japanese version of DKL3. Based off the one in DKC3, and same as the American version of DKL3 except with color. (Duh.) Many people think this screen is creepy...

Final Boss Battle

This is just a little of something from one of the Gameboy classics. Because I've been so busy with school I haven't been able to upload anything here in a while. But I'm still alive and well.

The Rocket Run theme in Donkey Kong Land 3. Wait, what? The Rocket Run theme is in this game? Yes it is! Strangely, even though the music is in the game, it isn't used anywhere. So the only way you can   more...listen to it is if you hack the ROM so that it plays this theme (though I've also heard of someone's cartridge getting screwed up and it played this song as well). It took me a while to find the song in the ROM, but I found it!

In Donkey Kong Country 3, though, you can hear it in Rocket Rush, the last non-boss level in the game.

In case anybody cares, I recorded this from the Japanese version for GBC, but I don't think it matters (I've heard that it was in the English version for GB as well). I also used VBA-M instead of VBA 1.8.0, because that seems to be the most accurate version of VBA, sound-wise.

I have not heard any other unused themes in this game, though. I also tried looking in DKL2, and didn't find any unused ones in the game, either. I have heard of some rumors of a couple unused songs in DKL, though...

Unfortunately, the quality is somewhat worse when I uploaded it here...  less

A speedrun of Koco Channel. As usual, I get the bonus and DK coins. I skip Squitter because it's faster to go without him. You're SUPPOSED to get that first bonus with Squitter, but I just float over   more...with Dixie instead.
OK, now for the REAL reason why I uploaded this video: I wanted to show off my color palette hack of this game. About a year ago, I figured out to hack color palettes in GBC games and this was one of the first games (not the very first one, though...) that I attempted to modify color palettes. My biggest change is that I made the river levels have this autumn look (like Bobbing Barrel Brawl in DKC3), and I REALLY liked how it turned out. You'll notice that some of the other changes I made were some of the sprites, and Dixie's and Kiddy's clothes (especially Kiddy's) in the bonus screens (based off the COLOR "cheat" in DKC3). So, this is the first video where I've shown a hack of a DK game.
If you want to see what this level NORMALLY looks like, watch my <a href="http://www.livevideo.com/video/05F0C2D4278847A98CF24886967A4455/donkey-kong-land-3-surface-t.aspx">Surface Tension video</a>. It (along with Riverbank Riot) has the same colors.
I'm not sure whether or not I'm going to use this hack in future videos...
Anyway, if you want the hack for yourself, here's the link to the patch:

This only works on the Japanese version, not the English version.  less

Just a couple of glitches that I found. The first glitch is one where you can jump on a Lurchin if it hits the top of the water. The timing of this must be EXACT, and it's really difficult to do. It's   more...funny to watch, though... (If anybody cares, I just found this glitch a couple of days ago by accident!)
The second one is the steel keg glitch. Unlike in DKC3, steel kegs don't float on water (they must have somehow gotten more dense). So if it hits an enemy while it sinks into water, it defeats it! (I actually knew about this one when I first had the game, because this one is easy to do by accident.)
I also show these glitches in slow motion to make it easier to see.  less

A speed run through Oil Drum Alley. I had fun doing this level.

A speedrun of Arctic Abyss. This level seems a lot harder than it is on the Game Boy, because Puftups explode, and Enguarde doesn't seem to be able to defeat enemies manually (you have to keep pressing   more...Y, similar to in DKL3). But I liked how this turned out.  less

A speedrun of Croctopus Chase. I did this one as fast as I could, without slowing down at all or getting hit, so this one is difficult to beat.

A weird glitch in Donkey Kong Country 3 where you can fall just by switching Kongs. When you run to the top of the slope by the waterfall, press Select and you will probably fall off and lose a life.

The 9th and final stage of Donkey Kong the Gameboy version, I enjoyed doing this run. i hope that everyone else has also.
