TJ Blakely | Donkey Kong Racing 100% TAS in 15:12.10 (14:50.20 RTA) @TJBlakely | Uploaded April 2022 | Updated October 2024, 5 hours ago.
For April 1st this year, I decided to TAS Donkey Kong Racing, a brand new romhack by GloriousLiar. Expand Description for more info.
What is Donkey Kong Racing?
Donkey Kong Racing is a romhack that introduces 6 new car-based solo-races to DK64. These races function similarly to the Castle Car Race in Base DK64. The catch? You need to collect all coins and beat the course without losing any coins in order to get the prize.
How is 100% defined?
Completing all totals on the credits screen after completing the final course. This run gets all 6 Banana Coins from perfect race completion, and 4 Golden Bananas from finding and completing the 4 secret challenges.
Why TAS this romhack?
GloriousLiar put a ton of effort into making a couple different romhacks over the past year or so, and I thought it would be really cool to show off his creation, and also give thanks to his work by TASing a romhack that he developed.
What is this texture spiking?
Good ol' bone displacement. This is an issue that has plagued emulated DK64 forever, but normally isn't seen nowadays thanks to a fix that Isotarge found. That fix, however, is only implemented if the game detected is Base DK64. Since this is a romhack, that fix isn't applied here.
Did I just hear Lanky?
That's the car horn, don't worry about it.
Why do you play as DK instead of any of the other Kongs?
I seriously considered tagging Diddy as a reference to Diddy Kong Racing, but the romhack is literally called Donkey Kong Racing, so I figured staying as DK would make more sense. That aside, the only real differences are in character size. Larger characters like Chunky have trouble getting into some spaces. Even DK was a bit of a struggle in one spot, but it doesn't stop DK from being able to solo everything, so I just use DK because tagging would be slower.

PB as of 4/8/2023. Played on original N64 Hardware via EverDrive 64.
This was done on the Day 1 patch of Banjo-Kongzooie Revamped!
On 3/20/2023, GloriousLiar released the new revamped patch for Banjo-Kongzooie. You can watch GloriousLiars trailer for Banjo-Kongzooie here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHHnXSOh1Zs
All Coloured Bananas is pretty self-explanatory - get all the Coloured Bananas (250) and then view the Totals screen in Banjos House to confirm it.
This run still requires all 5 Banana Coins to access the opening area of Gruntys Lair, and 5 Jiggies to access Treasure Trove Cove.
This was a very good run. Lanky wanted to sabotage by just barely missing a CB in TTC, but it didnt cost that much time.
I had 4 more PBs of this category but theyre all 10 minutes or above and I have no interest in uploading all of them when there were no route changes or improvements, just less mistakes.")

Had there been more time, I would have TASd this little romhack for April 1st. I have something else planned instead.
100% in this romhack, much like other romhacks that GloriousLiar has released, includes filling out the Totals screen, which can be seen inside of Banjos House.
The totals are as follows:
5 Banana Coins
15 Jiggies (Golden Bananas)
250 Coloured Bananas
Things that I skip in this run:
The Dive Barrel Training Barrel, found in Mumbos Skull. The move is not displayed on the Totals screen, nor is it necessary to collect everything.
Could I get sub 13? Yes absolutely. Will I right now? No. I need to work on my TAS for April 1st. Ill come back after...maybe. I really had to improve my run after rewatching my previous upload. The sloppiness in it was horrendous and it was killing me to leave it as it was.
This romhack is pretty fun, so Ill definitely come back when more levels are added.")
