An any% run of Donkey Kong 64 using the Japanese release (JP) of the game. Not to be confused with Any% J-Rules (Which allows in-game cheats and starts time from a reset).
The JP version has numerous patches compared to the US release. The ones you see in this run are:
- Cannot skip text, as a result, certain sections become much longer
- No STVW. The mechanic which allows STVW to work is patched, and so instead of doing the traditional 'Wet Escape', you have to ledge clip to escape.
- The Troff 'n' Scoff cutscene is delayed to patch a softlock with a duped file.

I got a Sub 4 a few months ago, then the timing rules got changed meaning it turned into a 4:28. Decided to do a few runs, and got this within an hour. Not completely done with any%, but its at least a decent run.
This was performed on the PC release of the game. The PC has a reduced amount of lag and a higher jump compared to N64. The higher jump means that the Kim Early sequence break becomes possible (It is not possible on N64 to our knowledge). PC Release also has musical issues meaning that the majority of the BGM does not start.
