DK Jungle Climber

[Dylan Yoshi]

Being that the game came out today, I suppose we should have a thread about it. I don't have it yet, but will probably get it Wednesday or Thursday... Anyone here have it yet?

And I almost posted this in the Other Rare Games forum. :p

[Mandolin]

I have only seen a few screens of it, but I read somewhere that Donkey Kong will have to battle evil banana aliens called Xananab, is it true? If not, then I'm probably thinking of another game Paon (that's how you spell the name of that company, right?) is developing for the DS. I'm glad they're following the mold set forth by Rare, but they still need plenty of improvement.

[Dylan Yoshi]

I know there were banana aliens, but I'm pretty sure they were in peace with DK. K Rool's the main villain.

[Bottles98]

The story is, essentially, DK gets in a scuffle with a Xananab ship, it crashes, the Xananabs (race of banana people) come out of the ship and start yelling at him, K. Rool steals the Crystal Banana right out of their ship to try and use it to conquer the universe, the Xananabs are stranded and DK offers to get the Crystal Banana back. :p

I've heard people complain about the Xananabs being banana people, but...we already had Banana Birds and Banana Fairies, where was it SUPPOSED to go next? :p

Anyway, I'm gonna try to get the game very soon. I played the demo at GameStop and oh my god is it fun. It feels like DKC with a few twists to keep it interesting.

Xananab....Bananax backwards. BANANA!

I would love to get this, but just one question. Are there bongos involved?

It's a DS game dude :p so no.

It does use a similar-to-bongo L&R control style for movement (other buttons are used for DK/Diddy tag team attacks and stuff)

[Dylan Yoshi]

No. It uses King of Swing styled gameplay, but it has a small twist- DK and Diddy work together as a team, and it brings back the DK Barrel system used in the DKCs.

[repobanjo]

I know it's a DS game. But DK's Final Smash is undeniably stupid because he used the bongos in them.

I liked Jungle Beat. A lot. So I'll probably like this.

[Mr.Patch]

But DK used his Bongos in DK64 for his music attack so why not for a final smash? It is the best possible attack that he could have.

Now for Jungle Climber I haven't play it because I don't have DS but it looks really good so without a doubt I will play it.

[Monkey Boy 64]

I won't buy it. Unless Chunky and Lanky are in it.

[Bottles98]

Because the move is based on the actual failed peripheral, complete with DK logo and START button even :p.
The bongos in DK64 were regular bongos.

[Mr.Patch]

Well they had to bring something to it what would you have preferred giant banana like in Mario Kart: DD? also when he's done his arms are on fire! Extra strength? I think so.

[Grey Jinjo]

Why not have him charge in on Rambi?

[Mr.Patch]

Why not have him charge in on Rambi?

Your were disappointed with platunias army then you suggest Rambi?
Jump over I doubt they would of made him jump high and well I see him more of an assist trophie.

[Unexpected]

I didn't even know it came out yesterday :p Well, I'm gonna buy it when the stores here start selling it.

[Dylan Yoshi]

I got the game today and I have to say... It's awesome. I can't say I like DK's new voice, but it's better then his voice that sounds like Scooby Doo that was used in MKDS.

[Arich Boss]

Can someone who has it possibly rip the music? I adore some of the new tunes and my iPod isn't happy without them.

I'll try when I get the game, Arich.

[Arich Boss]

That sounds swell.

There's a few sound effects (DK's voice) that appear when you enter a level, ruining the beginning of that particular track. To avoid that, simply talk to Cranky (which will load the screen into a game mechanic example) and back into the regular game, restarting that track. Therefore, levels with Cranky allow the music to be ripped perfectly.

To avoid in-level sound effects, hold R so DK is continuously running towards a wall. It will disintegrate the DK sound effects, making the track flawless.

Edit: That's cool. You made up Bottles98 on my 10th birthday.

[Dylan Yoshi]

God, the boss of world 4 is HARD. I know how to beat him, I just always seem to die before I get the fourth hit in.

[Arich Boss]

Has anyone tried the Speed Climing Challenge's Max mode? I've got an AAA ranking on every single other mode, easily I may add, but this one is simply too difficult. Did any of you get an AAA ranking on that, and could you post your time, please?

[Bottles98]

Just got the game :D
brb playing

Oh dear lord Funky's voice XD

[Arich Boss]

Excellent quality, Bottles! Hopefully, if you decide to rip the rest of the music, the quality will be as well as that! :D

Wait, is he still a surfer dude, or did he evolve into a hip-hop monkey? That voice is just hillarious. I can imagine it being a meme of sorts.

[Bottles98]

Excellent quality, Bottles! Hopefully, if you decide to rip the rest of the music, the quality will be as well as that! :D
You can look forward to that much.

Title theme recorded.

Wanna know what everyone thinks of the quality and all.

[Arich Boss]

I'm not being a kiss-up (or not trying to be one), but I personally love the quality.

[Unexpected]

Is the game like DK King of Swing?

[Dylan Yoshi]

Yes, it uses the same basic gameplay. However, it uses the same system from DKC- If you get hit, you lose Diddy, if you get hit again, you die. If you get a DK Barrel, you get Diddy back.

It also feels a lot more like DKC than King of Swing did. It's also a lot harder.

[Unexpected]

Ohhh, that's nice! But the stores here still haven't got it yet :-/ I hate waiting for stuff that has already been released...
