		azalemeth on Oct 3, 2021 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: The Making of Donkey Kong 64 (2019) The one that really drove me mad was the mandatory coin you got by playing the original DK arcade game, in order to face King Kruel. I never beat that as a child -- it was just too hard -- and only finally saw the credits when I played through it again after finishing my PhD on the Wii U's emulator. The save states were very useful! I loved this game, and Banjo Kazooie / Banjo Tooie. So many happy memories.

Indeed, those three original DK levels are perhaps the most memorable part of the game from my childhood on account of how difficult they were for me.
