Fourth fake udder in a row (Past 3 times have cost me WR). Recollection of the udder cost me 1m30s, so potentially would have gotten Sub 1:50 without the fake udder (especially if Kim was nicer towards the end).
Great Barn to be Wild, Bad Violent Death Valley, Mostly good everything else (Boogie Nights was a little sloppy, as well as the end of Death Wormed Up). Goal is a 1:48. 100% in 1:51:29 [Former World Record] | Earthworm Jim 3D](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/PDf96KpZJ2Y/mqdefault.jpg)

![Donkey Kong 64s next HUGE skip? | King K. Rool Early Explained
The goal of an any% speedrun with Donkey Kong 64 is to beat the game as fast as possible, which is currently done by acquiring the two mandatory keys and the moves to beat the game. Today we discuss the skip that has the potential to beat that, and why it doesnt work currently.

![K. Rool Takeoff Cutscene Skip | Donkey Kong 64 Glitch
Alternative Name: Dinosaur Skip
Actual Alternative Name: Takeoff Skip
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 Rools ship taking off and K-Lumsy taking it down to spawn the final battle.
If youre 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, youll get warped to DK Isles whilst skipping the cutscene.
However, it will trigger the Japes opening cutscene again, but after this, its just a matter of exiting K-Lumsy. K. Rool Takeoff Cutscene Skip | Donkey Kong 64 Glitch](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/RWj-qnpAm34/mqdefault.jpg)
