This is a complete 101% walkthrough (longplay) of Donkey Kong 64 for the Nintendo 64 in 1440p HD. This video showcases the full game. Every collectible is obtained including all 201 golden bananas, 10 battle crowns, 8 boss keys, 1 Rareware coin, 20 banana fairies, 1 Nintendo coin, along with all 974 banana coins, all rainbow coins and all colored bananas. Text will typically be played out but regurgitated text will be skipped. All cutscenes are shown. No glitches are used.
While the 974 banana coins and additional colored bananas will be collected in this walkthrough, they are NOT required for 101% completion. 160 banana coins will be spent throughout the game, which means the game will end with 814 banana coins. Donkey Kong will end the game with 151 banana coins, Diddy Kong with 157 banana coins, Lanky Kong with 155 banana coins, Tiny Kong with 165 banana coins and Chunky Kong with 186 banana coins.
In Angry Aztec, I press a button at 1:17:57 that opens a gate and then I leave the level to go talk to the fairy in DK Isles. I return to Angry Aztec after meeting the fairy; however, I didn't realize that leaving the level and coming back causes the gate to close. I had not yet went into that area before leaving the level, so I had to re-open it. I didn't want to make you watch me open up the gate again so I cut it out from the video. If you're playing along, keep in mind that leaving the level closes that gate.
In the first three levels of the game, I would turn in the blueprints with every Kong. However, this is not necessary since you can turn in the blueprints whenever you want; it doesn't have to be in the level you obtained them it. Starting in Gloomy Galleon, I will be saving the majority of the blueprints until the end of the game. I'll still turn in blueprints with at least one Kong per level since the cutscene slightly changes for each level, but doing it five times per level is a massive waste of time.
This video is a segmented walkthrough that uses save states to provide the best possible gameplay for the video including no damage or deaths throughout the entire run.
