When you turn in the final key into K-Lumsy, if the final key is Key 3 or 8, you get a 90 second long cutscene which shows K Rool's ship taking off and K-Lumsy taking it down to spawn the final battle.

If you're not in MMM, you can reset out of this. However, in MMM, you cannot reset out of this. In the past, this would mean watching a 90 second cutscene.

Not anymore

If you activate the final key turn-in whilst in the rainbow coin text (easiest with DK and Olag), you can gain control within the cage raising cutscene. However, you still have a small amount of time before the game fades out to start the normal cutscene.

In this small amount of time, you have to get out of bounds (shown here with a phase walk [Shoutouts to TJ]) and then void during the fadeout, you'll get warped to DK Isles whilst skipping the cutscene.

However, it will trigger the Japes 'opening' cutscene again, but after this, it's just a matter of exiting K-Lumsy.
