I remember when i was 5 and i finally beat the first part of K krool.
I was so happy and excited thinking i beat the game, i called my older siblings who all tried but failed before me, i put the controller down and waited for the ending.
Then the mf stands up again and freaking kills me before i could react.
Good times.

Wtf? I’ve played this game literally dozens of times and have never noticed this! Good catch!

One thing i always wondered. [What is this thing at the bottom of the map](http://i.imgur.com/uotlNeB.png). It doesn’t look like it’s part of the scenery. I always thought it is somekind of hidden feature that unlocks when you beaat the game completely, was it at 103%, if i remember correctly. I never found all the bonus stages. Got to like 98% or something like that… Or maybe it’s just wishful thinking. Has anyone beat the game completely? Did anything happen. Maybe that thing is just part of the map

I miss Rare. What happened to them? They seemed to be unstoppable back when they were doing Nintendo games.

I’ve done hundreds of playthroughs of this game and never noticed that.

Holy shit you just brought me back to my favorite game of all time

I miss the old days. Playing this as a child on Saturday morning with no obligation or responsibilities. Just living the child life, playing DK, drinking choco milk.

The only final boss i don’t mind losing to. It only means i get to listen to the boss fight song again!

King K. Rool and the rest of the Kremling Krew need to make a triumphant return, be it in the next DKC game, Super Smasch Bros, or both.

I wonder if Nintendo asked for the 3D assets to the DKC trilogy from Rare when they were developed? If so, I could go for a 1080p remaster of them.

Holy shit how did I never notice this?

I remember along time ago my sister and I getting this game as a gift from our parents…. Sadly we never got to play because my mom loved the game so much she wouldn’t share….. My mom still plays it to this day! Good games never die!

Playtonic games and retro should just team up and everything will be back to normal

This game is so good. Everytime I see a pic / video of it I just want to replay the whole damn series.

One of those games that would be phenomenal remade. All they gotta do is take the same assets from DKC Returns and they’d be printing money.

This is quintessential Rare for you. Taking the time to put in these small details to make the world feel more alive despite the fact that you’ll probably never notice.

I never noticed this while playing through the game, but when I finally finished the end boss battle, I started a new game and then thought “Huh, that ship is way out in the distance!”

classic example of Nintendo polish!
The details of Nintendo games…
Pretty typical of Rare back then. They were all about little details like that.
God I love that game
Holy shit. I’ve been playing this game for at least 20 years and I have never noticed that haha
wut. Wait wut. Holy shit! I never noticed this
I miss the old Rare.
I played this game recently and never noticed that. Even as a kid I never knew this.
Best SNES game.
The island is also a giant donkey kong face
I’m going to have to channel my inner third grader and say, “YOU DIDN’T KNOW THAT????!”
I never noticed that
Jeez it’s twenty years I’ve owned this game and never noticed!
Now I need to go listen to the sound track!
His coconut gun can fire in spurts.
I can hear the music just by looking at these pics
His theme song was so badass, hell the entire soundtrack was good. One of my favorite game series on the SNES.
I like how we’re still learning stuff about this game decades after the fact.
TIL too
