[edit] Cranky Kong is DK's father
That's a controversial claim to make, and lacks evidence. Although I think that's probably true, there are a lot of people who disagree. As there's little proof either way, perhaps it would be best not to assume.
[edit] DK Rap
Its only notable by being connected to this game. Therefore it should be included in this article rather than have a separate one. El cid the hero 21:22, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
- It is also included in Super Smash Brothers Melee --LuminousSpecter 17:21, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
It's related to the game, but also to Super Smash Melee as LuminousSpecter stated. Plus if the two articles were merged, the lyrics to the song would take up a considerable amount of space. Daniel Olsen 05:21, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
OpposeThat's pretty long for the article, it's better off in it's own, especially since it's also in Super Smash Bros. Melee. Julz 21:44, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Screenshot?
This could really do with a screen shot – they’re more informative than marketing pictures. -Ahruman 10:46, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
screenshots do help.
[edit] Re-release
Donkey Kong 64 needs to be rereleased so that there can be a modern Donkey Kong that doesn't use bongos.
A compilation would also be nice.
It seems however that Rare and/or Nintendo are not inclined to do a remake of Donkey Kong 64 to be on the Nintendo DS and/or Wii. --PJ Pete
[edit] what is this?
"Also, there is a very useful cheat in the game. If you go to the treehouse and simian slam the hammock 10 times, go to the outside of K Lumsy's house. An octopus will be there and asks you to be his friend. If you say yes, he go's away and never comes back, which ruins the cheat. If you say no, however, he gets angry and tries hitting you. He misses and breaks K Lumsy's house wall. K Lumsy gets so mad, he BREAKS THE CAGE HIMSELF and kills the octopus. Many people haven't believed this but it is real."
whether this is true or not, shouldn't this be under the mysteries section and changed to encyclopedia style wording
[edit] Widescreen
Do you think it should be added that this game supports anamorphic widescreen? Just asking. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.52.188.239 (talk) 00:21, 14 January 2007 (UTC).
The screen actually is pressed from the sides. --PJ Pete
[edit] Strength and Speed of the Kongs
In this game, Chunky Kong is the strongest and Tiny Kong is the weakest. However, to order it, Donkey Kong is the second strongest Kong, Lanky Kong is the third strongest. Since the SNES Donkey Kong games, Diddy Kong lacks power with his hands like he carried something but was much weaker than Donkey Kong and Diddy's default attack in this game is his tail, which is much stronger than his hands. To order the speed, Diddy Kong is the fastest, Chunky Kong is the slowest, Tiny Kong is the third fastest, because of Donkey Kong described as "He's bigger, faster, and stronger, too". --PJ Pete
[edit] GameShark
Some GameShark Codes of this game, for Character Modifier, on the MAIN MENU, some other characters can replace Donkey Kong, e.g. Lanky Kong, Chunky Kong. --PJ Pete
[edit] Reception
"However, Donkey Kong 64 is considered by many to be the best Donkey Kong game to date, at least in the Nintendo 64 era. It is also generally considered to be the best platform game on the N64." Who calls Donkey Kong 64 the best DK to date? I call it the worst game in the Donkey Kong Country series to date...Furthermore, it's the ONLY DK game for the N64, right? So saying it's the best DK game in the N64 era is rather misleading. Also, how is it considered the best platformer for the N64? Super Mario 64 and BOTH Banjo-Kazooies were not only more groundbreaking, they were flat-out better games. I've talked to other people about this and that seems to be the general consensus. Don't get me wrong, I like Donkey Kong 64, but it's nowhere near as good as the other N64 platformers I mentioned or the DKC games for the SNES (particularly the second). I'll leave the text in the article for a week or two, but I'm going to remove it later on unless someone can cite references. --pie4all88 05:57, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Size of the back-up memory on the cartridge
How much data (in bytes, kilobytes, etc.) can the Donkey Kong 64 game pak hold on back-up RAM (you know, the memory where the data about all your progress in the game is)?--Mathsexpressions 23:51, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Game Alteration
Somehow, I managed to alter the game's information with a Controller Pak. How else can I hack DK64?--Mathsexpressions 00:26, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Controller Pak Support
Why doesn't Donkey Kong 64 support the Controller Pak? How can I delete all of the back-up data on my Donkey Kong 64 cartridge?--Mathsexpressions 00:46, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
