DK64 Any% FAQs

Q: Why do you keep entering the tag barrel?
A: I'm doing a trick called "Tag Barrel Storage" (TBS)

Q: What does TBS do?
A: There are many things you are able to do with TBS, but in Any%, we use it to do another trick called telegrabbing to get to Hideout Helm without opening the mouth.

Q: Why did you reset after pulling yourself up from the ledge?
A: Essentially the ledge warping trick by Frantic Factory only works on every other frame, meaning you essentially have a 50/50 chance that you will get warped up to Hideout Helm. If I didn't get warped up, the trick failed and is an automatic reset. The ledge warp by Gloomy Galleon will work every time.

Q: What are these crazy things you are doing with the main menus?
A: This trick is called Intro Story Glitch. It allows us to get all the upgrades needed to beat the game without freeing kongs. The kongs are automatically unlocked for you when you fight the final boss, but won't have any necessary moves or guns to beat it.

Basically, you can "stop" the Intro Story cutscene about a second into playing it and the game will continue to play it in the backround, and you are able to "set" upgrades, instruments, guns and items in the menu and bring them into your file.

Q: You only got keys 3 and 8, but you're still able to go to the final boss! How?
A: For some reason the developers made it so keys 3 and 8 spawn K Rool's crashed ship.
