DK64 Any% All Keys FAQs

Q: Why are cheats allowed?
A: This is a for fun category, and is considered separate from Any%/No Levels Early/101%. Due to the amount of orange clips required for this run, allowing cheats for infinite oranges makes the run smoother and way more fun.

Q: Why do you fight the Aztec boss twice?/Why do you not go to Fungi?
A: You can do a quick kill on Dogadon by having the TNT barrel hit Dogadon at the same time as you take damage. For whatever reason, this will trigger the Dogadon 2 death cutscene and give you key 5 instead of 2. The game counts this as beating Fungi's boss, and Aztec's T&S isnt removed, allowing you to fight Dogadon normally for key 2. We call this trick DogaDoneQuick, and can be done in Fungi's boss too; you'll still get key 5, but its obviously slower to make another trip to Fungi.

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. You can also watch cutscenes for the bosses during this, as you need to wait a set amount of time for the trick to complete. Watching the cutscenes now lets you skip watching them later, when they would waste time.

Q: You only turned in some of the keys, 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. We simply make sure we turn in keys 3 and 8 only during the run.
