Intro Story Glitch | File Modifications in DK TV @IntroStoryGlitch | Uploaded July 2014 | Updated October 2024, 4 hours ago.
Whenever a DK TV demo is loaded, the kong's stats are changed. An Intro Story screen fade on the main menu can be used to inspect the file modifications, as it warps you right into DK's house.
In Main Menu Mode, nothing is saved unless you play one of Snide's bonus games. For more details, go here: youtube.com/watch?v=BYysVeNkIi4
Any kong that shows up loses all Golden Bananas, colored bananas, and coins. Thus, I lost 120 Golden Bananas through Chunky's, DK's, and Diddy's demos.
DK loses all moves, Simian Slam, his weapon and instrument in his demo. Ammo belts are lost as well.
Diddy, Lanky, and Tiny can obtain all moves, Super Simian Slam, their weapons along with upgrades, and instruments with all upgrades. Since I started a 101% file in this video, Lanky already had his moves and upgrades even though I didn't watch his demo.
Chunky doesn't get any moves except Super Simian Slam. He also gets his weapon and instruments without upgrades.
Every time you enter the main menu from DK TV, the game selects and loads one of the three files or a temporary "file 4". However, there are only two possible outcomes, depending on the data inside the files. For instance, it may only select file 3 or 4, and when you play around and collect or activate things in one of the files, it will select file 1 or 3. It is not known how the game determines which file is picked, but the data inside the files has a vague influence on it.
The data loaded upon entering the main menu only consists of flags (things like cutscenes watched, items spawns, switches, keys, fairies, ...) and doesn't change any numbers. You will keep golden/colored bananas, coins, moves, weapons, and instruments for any kong whose demo is not shown.
Be careful: If you play one of Snide's bonus games without knowing which file you are playing in, any file might get overwritten.
Since I had 100 bullets when I exited my file and lost my ammo belt upgrades in DK's demo, the bullet counter went down to 50 after I fired.
The number of melons is not changed in DK TV. However, since the third melon is linked to an instrument upgrade, you can try to purchase it again with DK or Chunky. Candy will only talk about upgrading your instrument, though, and when you buy it, the "Third Melon" text will be replaced with "Simian Slam". This doesn't actually give you Simian Slam.
