3-Kong FAQ

--- ANY% 3-KONG FAQ ---
=======================


Q| What is 3-kong?
A| 3-Kong is a sub-category of Any%, where you only unlock 3 kongs. In the version I'm doing, it's DK, Diddy and Tiny

Q| What about Lanky and Chunky? Don't you need them for the K Rool fight?
A| Yes I do, however, they automatically give you the kongs when it goes to their phase. It isn't counted as unlocking them as you don't get them from Tag Barrels (Unless you enter the Tag Barrel with that Kong after losing the K Rool Fight).

Q| I didn't see you buy any moves, how could you Monkeyport etc.?
A| During all the Main Menu Stuff after we damaged ourself, by entering a 6-fairy mini game in the Mystery Menu (Jetpac in this case because it's fast), it gives us all the moves for free, including those for kongs we haven't unlocked.

Q| How did you open Angry Aztec without Key 1?
A| If you die into a loading zone from 1 area into DK Isles after 3m25s since you activated Intro Story Glitch, you trigger cutscene 8 on DK Isles (Which is the Key 1 turn in cutscene). The funny thing is that not only does the cutscene play, but it actually opens Aztec Lobby.
This works on any map as well. If you die into a loading zone between Map A into Map B after 3m25s since you activated Intro Story Glitch, you trigger Cutscene 8 on Map B.

Q| What is the WR for this run?
A| For Any% overall, it's 26:56 by Tiffanyjane, however, for 3-kong, it's 38:20 by EmoArbiter

Q| Why do you reset in Key 8 room? What's so difficult about Helm?
Short A| Key 8 Escape (and partially Switch Kick)
Long A| Because you are in MMM (FAQ here: http://pastebin.com/mZSmJDMw), you cannot exit Helm after picking up Key 8 by Pause-Exiting/Resetting. Therefore to exit, you have to Orange Clip out. Unlike most Orange Clips, this one is very tough, and losing all oranges means automatic reset regardless of quality of the run. If you have the camera (Which I won't because speed), you can take a picture of the fairies to get an additional 20 Oranges, but yet again, lose those and it's auto-game over.
The slightly nicer trick in my opinion is Switch Kick. Although this trick is tough at the worst of times, it's far more forgiving than Key 8 escape due to no requirement on resources. In addition to this, after this trick, you've got to get the right floor level, otherwise you cannot do a backflip near Chunky room to change OoB floor level later to enter the Terminal 2 Room.
All in All, Helm is the best level in the game, aside from in 3-kong (and I guess 1-kong 2015 Route), in which case, it sucks balls.

Q| Why not just do 1-kong? 1-kong is faster
A| I'd like to believe that my choice of sub-category isn't totally based on how fast it is.
Plus, I think that 3-kong is the best sub-category of Any% in terms of enjoyment!

Q| My question wasn't answered here
A| Then feel free to ask away in my chat. I'll try to answer to the best of my ability.
