Wow, I cannot describe to you the ordeal my older brother and I went through during this tedious level. With the timer counting down, every minute was vital, based on how many blueprints you collected of course. But the worse part was that whenever we wanted to take a break and paused the game, the timer still counted down. It was stressful. It was as if the game implied, "Oh no, you've made it this far, and it's either you're going to do this in one shot or it's game over". We both got nervous.

I love this song! The build-up is fantastic. It gets the adrenaline pumping and really makes you feel like you're breaking into an enemy base. It's too bad we don't see too many games like this anymore. I miss Rare. :'(
yeah..the music in this game was greatly done to fit the game. especially this one. it really made it feel like this was the end. like it was the most important and decisive moment yet. and the way you had to apply EVERYTHING you learned throughout the entire game and use every kong's special skills. the music played well to the situation.
Music really gives life to video games. I video game with no memorable music has a less chance of holding my attention, but DK64 did not disappoint in that area. You totally felt like this was one of your final moments. Pushing for time like crazy!
Hideout Helm had such thick atmosphere to it; the combination of this song with a timer breathing down your neck...it helped to cement the awesomeness of that stage in my mind
Ummm i have a question. I dont remember but i thing that soundtrack its not on countdown. You know... for deactivate the firing sequence of the K.Rool's Blast-O-Matic machine.
@DennisBillington definitely agreed. Remastered version with better graphics? couple new levels to give it a spin? toss in a few new abilitles? I think so ^_^
This song is the scariest of them all. Imagine fighting to deactivate a machine that will destroy your home if you don't act quickly. I enjoyed this level a LOT! The timer was small compared to the Golden Banana games.
@SonicLighting, @ChaosDarkWolf13, @Mcmadness288. Let me help clear confusion. RARE created everything in the DK universe, with the exception of DK himself, although RARE did revamp his appearance and made it overall better. Nintendo bought the rights for all characters in DK from RARE before they went with Microsoft. This is why you see them in spin-off games. The reason you don't see many of the other characters in DKCR is because Nintendo wanted a fresh start/did it out of respect for RARE.
i remember getting to it and spending like 10 minutes on one minigame and when the timers got to zero, i shut the game off XD that was when i still owned it though
I'd like to see someday someone beating this place with no blueprints found (10:00 to clear the level), and I should also note this music sounds like the "Hurry!" time limit music from Super Mario Galaxy 2.
The 10-minute limit is pretty generous if you know how to do the level quickly. I did it in 4:46 in my speed run. The first part is watch?v=-T1uw_DrHWY.
DK64 is the best game i've played for the n64. I wished nintendo had bought rareware and microsoft bought retro because retro studios is not cut out to make a dkc game. I liked DK64 better than dkc returns!
@SaradominsChosenOne It's hard not to laugh at your complete misinterpretation of what FlameForged meant by portability. He (or she) was not referring to portable game systems. FlameForged was talking about the systems ability to execute software that wasn't originally intended for it.
Oh man I remember this level, my older brother and I had a hard time because since there was a time limit we were always under pressure. Plus even if we paused the game, the timer still kept on going. I was young back then and I just couldn't pass this level but my older brother was able to. This was truly a superb game on one of the most amazing consoles that ever existed, the N64! I miss my childhood. :(
@SaradominsChosenOne what do you mean sadly? If your going to bad mouth your own system, then shame on you. Microsoft didn't do anything to the game itself, a producer is different from the developer :P
@Yosher21 11 people were even more annoyed because they thought the battle crowns were a bonus game. One time, my sister reached K.Rool's door with only 3 battle crowns. We were so used to it opening I had no idea there was a requirement. Therefore, Diddy had to fly on top of the Blast O Matic machine and battle his most difficult crown ever.
When I was younger and I saw the timer proceeded to freak the fuck out since back then I was never able to finish timed games. My brother showed me how.
The 10 people that disliked this probably don't know REAL games, instead they probably play shit games like "Call Of Duty" and "Modern Warfare" and mountains of other shitty games.
Nintendo and Microsoft need to make an agreement for the players.
....Unfortunately, Microsoft doesn't care about the players, only the money. :(
So they'll never let rare go...
