In DK64, you can only normally use Rambi in a very small section in Japes, a Hideout Helm barrel and during a mystery menu minigame. However, with usage of glitches, we can bring Rambi anywhere we want.
RTA Method
1) Get ISG, head to japes
2) Enter Rambi Box, play instrument in the small window you can after transform to cause a cutscene that will fade you into Intro Story
3) Watch rest of intro story
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1) Wrong grab the rambi box in Japes and move to near Cranky's (Example: youtube.com/watch?v=-9NYxIQUvU0 )
2) Gain control in Rambi Box (Any TBS method works, eg Uncrouch) and enter Cranky's towards the end of the transform so you trigger the LZ before you change into Rambi
3) Clear the Cranky text and Exit
EFFECTS:
- All "no entry" zones are cleared
- You can bring Rambi anywhere pretty much
- You can't grab anything kong-specific, GBs don't increment counter
- If you open the boss door, you can enter bosses (not opening the boss door causes the game to crash upon loading the HUD)

Acquired this back in November and had this unlisted, thought making it public would be a nice meme

Big timesaves from this run came from no fake udder and a better end to VDV. I have a theory that I also saved a lot of time because of the Millions of Pixels setting on the Main Menu. Not entirely sure if this is just a false facade for just getting better, but its certainly something worth investigating.
As for timesave for the next run, theres a decent timesave at the end of PG1 cause I accidentally fell off trying to do the painting room skip. Some bad RNG on the Roswell & Bob fights meant that I probably lost 1m to a semi-optimal time on those two. Trying to get the DWU Blue Balloon was also bad cause of the bat trying to hit me. Sub 1:45 is possible, but probably hard, although that hasnt stopped this game before.")
