(I'm here, sporadically. Edit: Also, it just occurred to me that the forum's clock is delayed by about 20 minutes.)

It also doesn't work for me in Windows 7 either. The right pane is always blank, just like rainbow's screenshot.

Of course, the original hlp version still works in 7 ...

Diddy and Timber are also brothers in the sense that their father is Kevin Bayliss, since he created both of them.

It's a modern online battle royale game on the Nintendo Switch based on the original F-Zero for the Super NES. 99 players race on the tracks simultaneously.

It can be downloaded for free if you have a Nintendo Switch Online subscription.

In F-Zero 99, I'm at Level 35 and Skill level S-, but still don't have a single win to my name. I have finished 2nd place in at least one race with 3 out of 4 of the machines. The Blue Falcon is ironically the most difficult for me to get the hang of. Because it doesn't have any strengths, I always ...

Dang, Super Luigi! is INSANE at F-Zero 99.

Given they already named a baddy the name Booty Bird , I don't see why not. Also, did you see who is joining Mario Kart 8 Deluxe's character roster in Wave 6 of the Booster Course Pass DLC? Diddy and Funky make their non-mobile return, while Pauline and Peachette make their non-mobile debut! People ...

It was mentioned here around three months shy of two years ago: http://www.dkc-atlas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=17&p=45083#p45083 Why is the link in "Talk about our maps on the DKC Atlas Forum: Mapping Project topic" a spam redirect? That link now redirects to spam because it s...

It doesn't happen consistently for me across all devices, but when it does I usually do the following: Right-click, open Inspect and search for the <!--Twitter Timeline--> comment tag in the source. Immediately below this is a <div> tag with the class name "hovershow". Delete this node, an...

The Atlas itself does not have a virus, only a link that leads to one. Qyzbud let the dkca.net domain name used by the short links expire a few years ago. It was then bought by someone else, who made it link to a malware site. DKC Atlas is not responsible for--nor is it infected by--this malware. In...

30 giant bananas in my hoard,
30 giant bananas!
One more goes to Eddie,
Yes, that mean old yeti,
29 giant bananas in my hoard!

After we're done with this, we can restart with "99 golden bananas in my hoard"

34 giant bananas in my hoard,
34 giant bananas!
K. Lumsy's right hand,

I've observed similar oddities before when I used an emulator's rewind function after crashing one of the DKC games. The DMA uploads to VRAM for the sprite tiles (chars) failed to work, but the OAM (tilemap/tile arrangements) would still update. The results were similar to this, only not with Japane...

Belated Happy Birthday, Geno ! There is in fact a DKC Atlas Discord. It's linked at this topic: http://www.dkc-atlas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=2410&p=43074&hilit=Discord#p43074 Jungle (the original creator and one of the administrators of the Discord server) made the invite link, but...

Not saying you took this route, but this is what I always fear about buying retro physical games online. There's no way to inspect them before you buy, and they often don't give you good, hi-res photos of the physical media. So far, I've only bought retro games from locally-based brick-and-mortar ga...

Candy would be the most obvious choice due to being DK's love interest, but there aren't a whole lot of sprites of her.* As for Baby Kong, I don't think it would be good to depict Kaptain K. Rool binding up an infant and shooting them repeatedly at close range. Sure, there's already Kiddy, but at le...

This might be sacrilege to many people here, but to be honest, I haven't watched the DKC cartoon very much since it first aired in the US on Fox Family around 1998-1999. I still have recordings of multiple episodes on videocassette which often have early episodes of Pokémon between them (during its ...

If we're talking about his DKC3 SNES theme, from the time I first heard it, I always thought it was "D'you do that?" Nowadays, it sounds different to me.

"Kick a doodad"

It's probably just some random scat with no real meaning.

With my version of the zero-music patch, music track changes still occur, but all tracks have their sequence data for all channels replaced with looping rests.

Based on the main map, the background is the rocky cliffside of Crocodile Isle, as well as dead trees that flank Kremland's entrance. To the right of the entrance, there appears to be a shorter cliff with a bit of moss or grass and jagged rocks on it. There is also some fog in front of it. Not sure ...

Cranky does have lines for talking directly to Diddy, but they're unused just like the level hints: Diddy boy! Where's Donks? Diddy, you young pup! Boy, I can't believe how much you've grown! These were probably scrapped for being out-of-character. This didn't stop some of them from bein...

Zeroing out the music in this way might cut out some of the time it takes to load a level or transition to a different music track, so I would think it would be illegal in terms of speedrunning. Anything that potentially modifies how many frames a process takes is going to be scrutinized by that com...

And how does this relate to SNES games? Generally, does the console contain something similar to the above description when a cartridge isn't detected or refuses to boot, due to faulty receptors, a bad battery or corrupted ROM. All the console does is display a black screen. But some games do spit ...

Invisible objects are an anomaly. They shouldn't exist. When an object is carried, a pointer to the carried object exists in RAM address $0D7A. This is supposed to reset to zero when no object is being carried, but the Castle Crush glitch involves picking up an object at the same time it is destroye...

Their really old domain that hasn't been used for many years (http://rarewitchproject.net/) says it's for sale, but the website still exists on the same URL it's used since at least 2010, https://www.therwp.com/.

Now that you mention it, Funky would have been perfect for DKR. He's already known for transportation, including planes and hovercraft!

I think the main reason Tiny was redesigned was for Diddy Kong Racing DS, so that she could replace Banjo and be in the same weight (or size) class as him. Not that I approve of it. Why not use Donkey, Funky, Chunky, or even Candy instead? Out of all of the character designs, Tiny's original design ...

I asked ChatGPT to come up with an idea for a new Animal Buddy for the Donkey Kong Country video game series. It responded with this: "How about a mischievous raccoon named Rascal who can climb trees, jump across platforms, and use his sharp claws to swipe at enemies? Rascal could also have the...

WesternTanager794 wrote:- Funky is Tim Taylor?! Interesting.

Lol, I can hear that with his music in the original SNES version of DKC3 as well. That funny sounding voice that features in Hangin' At Funky's reminds me a bit of Tim Allen's infamous grunt from Home Improvement!

Mario('s disembodied head) in DKC1?
He's headbanging in sync with the music!

My answer is a question: Have you ever seen or heard of a spider harming a crocodile by jumping on it in real life?

Why does Cranky go from using one walking stick in DKC1, to two canes in DKC2, then back to one cane in DKC3?

One reference i just remembered. dkcr barrel ride with mario and dk. :parry: Yep, I remember seeing those rocket boosters on D.K.'s kart a few minutes earlier and thinking about how those looked familiar. Then that happened! Tanager, I would recommend that you still spoiler tag your posts. The ...

There are plenty of things buried in the ground. Fully intact, edible bananas most likely aren't among those things, th...

232. Orangutans can't walk while doing a handstand. (Monkeys can, though!)

(I realize this is in reference to DK64, but there are some other things in this topic that aren't specific to the DKC games.)

218. A gorilla and monkey cannot be close relatives.

What type of primate are Dixie and Tiny anyway? They don't have tails (a defining trait of monkeys), unless you count their ponytails/pigtails.

Mario doesn't really have a timeline. Rare messed things up by aging the original Donkey Kong into Cranky Kong, whereas the Mario characters haven't aged aside from being babies in the Yoshi games, and crossing paths with their older selves in Mario and Luigi: Partners in Time. Yoshi's Island DS int...

1719. DK

Still on the topic of Kongs in the movie, what surprised me... ...is that Diddy actually has some spoken dialogue where he cheers for DK, and Cranky even calls him out by name to tell him to quiet down! I don't know if the fact that Diddy has a voice increases the likelihood that we'll see h...

It seems there is no grey area. Critics either love it for being faithful to the games, or hate it for playing things too safe.

Chunky has poor peripheral vision, and he hears voices even when no one's around...

Do Tiny, Tooty (from Banjo-Kazooie), and Pipsy (from Diddy Kong Racing) know each other?

Wait, was it the third sound here ? It's actually not a glitch, but a rather obscure sound effect that was programmed to play at a bad time (bad because it usually gets canceled out by the sound of the barrel busting). In some edge cases (such as getting the game to crash before the barrel busting s...

Now that I've seen the movie, here are my thoughts: It's great. Seconded!
