Ballaam | Golden Banana Duping in Angry Aztec | Donkey Kong 64 Glitch @Ballaam | Uploaded February 2019 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
This method is one of the easier methods of Golden Banana duping out there on the US version. As long as you can perform Swim through Vertical Walls, you can execute this glitch.
This is abusing the fact that the switch in the centre of the Vulture shooting room only checks for whether you have the GB, and not whether you have killed the vulture. Because the switch checks this rather than the Vulture's death, you can repeatedly spawn the vulture. Since the GB is tied directly to the vulture, anytime you spawn the vulture, you spawn this GB ( cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/463917049782075397/533484540610609172/unknown.png ).
This video covers this glitch and also some areas of duplication in the other main levels, including the pitfalls of those which don't have full duplication yet (Dupable & can be acquired as any kong)

Rerecord Count: 4623
Timing starts on first black frame on the loading zone entering Helm, timing ends as soon as you collect the final collectable needed for 100%.
This is an improvement of 55.297s over my old TAS that I did in Feb 2017. Safe to say I wasnt that good at TASing back then: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJSJ8MbIzvE
This TAS uses the Japanese version of DK64 to beat Hideout Helm in under 6 minutes. The Japanese version is necessary because it is the fastest version between PAL (European) & JP (Japanese).
One of these two versions are required to perform a glitch where you can beat Helm with only completing 2 of the minigames.
The US version of DK64 has a bug where if a few conditions are fulfilled, all of the medals become uncollectable (unless you spawn snag them). More information on this bug can be found here: https://pastebin.com/5M9pTb5m
This was patched in the PAL & JP versions and therefore can be abused for this glitch.
Since JP is patched in some aspects, there are a few places where it would lose time to US *if* US could pull off the glitch. Primarily skipping some of the orange clips (which are pretty brutal), getting to the slam pad in the Rocketbarrel minigame faster (with a phasewalk) and also being able to text skip in the 2 minigames. Outside of that, JP does not lose a single second to US.")

UPDATE (28/02/2017): Portal Skew is now possible without tools in Fungi Forest. (See: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v v9Cei43NTc&feature=youtu.be)
MAINTAINING SKEW IS NOT POSSIBLE ON CONSOLE YET, JUST IN CASE THERE WAS ANY CONFUSION WITH THIS
I found this a while ago when I was messing around with Portals & Levers, but forgot to document it/make a video on it.
By interrupting the kong rotation effect (that you get from entering a DK Portal) with Orange Damage, you can get Skew.
This normally sends you to the portal destination soon after (Level Lobby/Main Level Map etc.).
However, if you interrupt this with a cutscene and then move far enough away from the portal (presumably deloading it), then you can maintain skew as long as you dont go too close to the portal.
Currently, this is not achievable RTA since you cannot move far away enough after the Cutscene ends. However, if we were to find a way (Lever Storage maybe?) to instantly teleport the kong to a location far enough away from the start of the level, then weve got something.
Moving away from the portal was done using ScriptHawk
