I tentatively have a Creepy Castle route. I'm not close on the Crystal Caves route at all that place is a nightmare but the reasing on wanting to get the Japes 1 & 2 routes next for the recording is that since I have to go through Japes anyway while playing up to a position where I could test a route out I could attempt the first segment while I was at it. This only applies to the first one since that is the one that I can do over and over practically every other segment I'll probably spend at least a couple weeks practicing over and over before I dare to attempt it in the run since I only get one shot at it after the first, and that won't be until after the route is finished.

I'm not sure but I think that the banana fairys themselves count towards the final completion percentage and if that is true then skipping the Rareware banana would be pointless. If a banana could be skipped I could think of a bunch of better choices than the Rareware banana if the banana fairys actually count(Lanky's Frantic Factoy piano game immediately comes to mind or perhaps the owl minigame/ bonus barrel)

Even though you're probably right about the 101% thing when it comes to tricking the game into being able to pick a GB to skip in a 101% route I think I'll have to ask Mike about just to be on the safe side. I actually think that the game starts listing the completion as 101% before you collect all of the GB's anyway so this would be one heck of a gray area if that were true.

Now for the Fungi Forest routes.
1. I agree that I don't like the 7 bananas around the Kasplat or the 10 around the top of the tree but I was thinking when racing the owl that it may be a good idea to get half of the bananas on the way to the music pad and jump down after getting the GB and run to W4 collecting the bananas. After that use W4 since its pretty close to W1 to warp to the area with the 3 sheds where the route goes next. I'm actually thinking that the balloon in the shed at night shouldn't be ruled out completely since by getting it and one of the bunches of bananas in the cabin with his GB both the ring of 7 bananas by the Kasplat and the 10 around the top of the giant mushroom could be skipped which I think that would save much more time than making a quick trip to the balloon would lose. I'll be testing this out.
2. I will be getting Homing Ammo and Ammo belt 2 in Crystal Caves. There are a couple of rooms in Crystal Caves that Homing Ammo is almost required to complete unless playing the instrument works. Either way the Funkys in CC is along a path that Diddy has to take to get a GB and since he is buying it it makes sense to get it there.
3. Even if I don't use the extra GB trick pulling the levers is slow and that trick would still save time for the GB. I would have to find a way to replace the 10 GB from the balloon though.

I just checked Joe's run and you are right... He has 101% before he actually gets the 201st GB. I still stand by what I said in my last post, though: you have 101% when the game says you have 101%. If the banana fairies count in your percentage, that really sucks, since catching them can be a major time sink. It seems that combined with the fact that you don't need every GB for 101%, the extra GB actually lets you skip two GBs. You might instead be able to skip the Nintendo and/or Rareware coins, if those take longer than the slowest GBs, or even several banana medals.

For the Diddy Fungi Forest bananas if all the bananas from around the owl tree as well as both bunches from the cabin are colledted there is no need for 5 bananas by the Kasplat, the 10 around the ring at the top of the giant mushroom, and the 10 in the attic of the shed. Getting the 10 in the shed fast is tricky but this seems like the best idea for Diddy bananas.

I'm going through and activating banana fairies but not photographing them so I can come back later after checking my percentage and photograph a bunch all at once and see if they actually count towards the percentage.
EDIT: I tested it out and the banana fairies do count toward the final percentage. 11 banana fairies added 2% to my total so I'm guessing that all 20 would count for 4% of the 101% total so skipping the fairies is not an option.

I'm not sure this will be of much use but its possible to shoot Diddys balloon outside of Snide's at night from the top of the giant mushroom closest to the gate.

Yes, a cucco riding the ground.

I'll take a look at that later. Could you make a post with all the level routes so far? Maybe hide each route with a spoiler tag. Then you could edit the post as more routes are decided upon and break it up into segments instead of levels eventually.

Yeah I was going to do that after all the stage routes are completed to figure out the DK bananas anyway but I could do it now and just put the Crystal Caves route in later. I'll definetely use the spoiler tags otherwise it could quite possibly be the longest post in SDA history.

Donkey Kong 101% route by leftysheroes(thanks to Manocheese,PMIT, and Unreal for all the help)
Spoiler tags used at Manocheese's suggestion to make it easier to view individual segments.

GLITCH GUIDE

Swim through vertical walls(STVW): Align yourself facing the wall point blank at a 90 degree angle. Hold c-up and presss A to start swimming. Release c-up and you will swim through the wall.
Swim through shores: Swim close enough to the beach that the water is just deep enough to allow you to dive. Do so and start tapping the B button rapidly and you will swim right through the beach and go out of bounds.

C-up glitch: Press c-up while walking off the edge of the wall and you will glitch into the wall and be able to get out of bounds.

Moonkick: When running up a fairly steep slope do a jump attack as close to the ground as possible and mash the B button. If done right DK will get significant loft and height on the kick.
Moontail: Do a double jump with Diddy and do an attack at the same time as the second jump and Diddy will jump while doing his standing attack. You can then jump out of this again to get extra height.

Notes.
1. You can save and exit before the fairy fills up your items and still get credit for it but I generally don't do this to make sure I don't run out of shooter ammunition.
2. If you hit the top 2 targets at the same time you can score a hit on both in the same round.
3. You can also use STVW to escape the clams if they close on you. Some of the clams can also be entered with STVW.
4. The camera is really bad when trying to get into Tiny's door so I just go to Lanky's section and use STVW to reach Tiny's section. Unless you do a perfect job of getting into Tiny's door I'm pretty sure that this is a little faster.
5. For the chest below where you enter the lighthouse area use STVW on the keyhole. On the other chest use STVW on the side where the chest is sticking up in the air a little bit.

Notes.
1. Depending on what the Kasplat does you may be able to get 3 bananas here. If so skip one from around the base of the tree with the owl.
2a. Its possible to get the blueprint during the first race against the rabbit if you do the beginning well. Kill it with the attack you get from the banana fairy. If you get bad luck(the zinget hits you) don't risk it. Just run to the Kasplat with Orangstand Sprint after the second race and get it then.
2b. Activate W4 during one of the races.
3. Doing this now avoids having to go out of the way collecting crystal coconuts.
4. Chunky instantly kills the spider on the second shot. Tiny has to hit it 4 times where it will drop down and then she has to hit it again. The time saved from killing it with Chunky more than makes up the time lost from making the extra trip.

Notes.
1. Climb the tree at the other end of the plank bridge and jump over to the ledge.
2. Tiny now buys Sniper so that she can get the balloon and avoid pointlessly walking around the castle for bananas later on.
3. Doing a midair attack while jumping to the GB makes this trick very easy.
4. Hit the switches in the order 1,2,3,4,4 so the ghosts don't get in the way when putting in the combination for activating the GB.
5. You have go past the ballroom a little bit and then backtrack but its still faster to do this along with getting the other bananas instead of walking around the castle.
6. Its faster to walk out of the musuem and then to the greenhouse area than it is to exit warp and use W4.
7. Chunky's balloon in the tree is very easy to hit fast so its a good idea to skip bananas here while cutting corners to save some time.

Notes.
2. DK can orange boost to the platform to the Kasplat to skip using the switch. Chunky can orange boost to his bonus barrel game and then orange boost again to B Locker. This skips using gorilla gone and the animation of the vines becoming visible.
3. MAKE ABSOLUTELY SURE that you get the banana medal after turning the power off in each section. Even if you stay in the Blast-o-Matic room and go back for them after the power is off the WILL still be hollow.
4. Its very worth it at this point in this run to open that door and walk through to be 100% guaranteed that the key will count.

Notes. 
1. Throwing several oranges makes it easier to get boosted into the lava.

Notes. 
1. You can save and exit before the fairy fills up your items and still get credit for it but I generally don't do this to make sure I don't run out of shooter ammunition.
2. If you hit the top 2 targets at the same time you can score a hit on both in the same round.
3. You can also use STVW to escape the clams if they close on you. Some of the clams can also be entered with STVW.
4. The camera is really bad when trying to get into Tiny's door so I just go to Lanky's section and use STVW to reach Tiny's section. Unless you do a perfect job of getting into Tiny's door I'm pretty sure that this is a little faster.
5. For the chest below where you enter the lighthouse area use STVW on the keyhole. On the other chest use STVW on the side where the chest is sticking up in the air a little bit.

Notes.
1. Depending on what the Kasplat does you may be able to get 3 bananas here. If so skip one from around the base of the tree with the owl.
2a. Its possible to get the blueprint during the first race against the rabbit if you do the beginning well. Kill it with the attack you get from the banana fairy. If you get bad luck(the zinget hits you) don't risk it. Just run to the Kasplat with Orangstand Sprint after the second race and get it then.
2b. Activate W4 during one of the races.
3. Doing this now avoids having to go out of the way collecting crystal coconuts.
4. Chunky instantly kills the spider on the second shot. Tiny has to hit it 4 times where it will drop down and then she has to hit it again. The time saved from killing it with Chunky more than makes up the time lost from making the extra trip.

Notes. 
1. Climb the tree at the other end of the plank bridge and jump over to the ledge.
2. Tiny now buys Sniper so that she can get the balloon and avoid pointlessly walking around the castle for bananas later on.
3. Doing a midair attack while jumping to the GB makes this trick very easy.
4. Hit the switches in the order 1,2,3,4,4 so the ghosts don't get in the way when putting in the combination for activating the GB.
5. You have go past the ballroom a little bit and then backtrack but its still faster to do this along with getting the other bananas instead of walking around the castle.
6. Its faster to walk out of the musuem and then to the greenhouse area than it is to exit warp and use W4.
7. Chunky's balloon in the tree is very easy to hit fast so its a good idea to skip bananas here while cutting corners to save some time.

Notes.
2. DK can orange boost to the platform to the Kasplat to skip using the switch. Chunky can orange boost to his bonus barrel game and then orange boost again to B Locker. This skips using gorilla gone and the animation of the vines becoming visible.
3. MAKE ABSOLUTELY SURE that you get the banana medal after turning the power off in each section. Even if you stay in the Blast-o-Matic room and go back for them after the power is off the WILL still be hollow.
4. Its very worth it at this point in this run to open that door and walk through to be 100% guaranteed that the key will count.

Yes, a cucco riding the ground.

I did a practice run today that came out at 1:15. Based on comparisons with other completed attempts, I estimate that the lowest the in-game time could be is 1:15:24 and the highest is 1:15:48. I estimated the time lost from the biggest mistakes at 0:01:23, so if I fixed only those, my time would be between 1:14:01 and 1:14:25. Either way, I don't think the rest of the run had enough mistakes to make 1:12 possible (or at least feasible for me). So, my new target is 1:13.

Quote from leftysheroes:

Yeah I was going to do that after all the stage routes are completed to figure out the DK bananas anyway but I could do it now and just put the Crystal Caves route in later. I'll definetely use the spoiler tags otherwise it could quite possibly be the longest post in SDA history.

Okay, thanks.

I'm currently looking for an OoB either in the room with Chunkys cage or Crankys room that could possibly be used to get into the room with the block tower. If I succeed in finding one that could potentially make 1:12 possible for you again.

EDIT: I think I have a way to use DK's jumpkick to the power shed in the Frantic Factory. I can replace his bananas with 5 from the blast barrel(doesn't take long) and the other 5 in the shed. I should have the modified route done later.
EDIT 2: The new factory route is posted in the route.

Yes, a cucco riding the ground.

I found a few more tricks for my run (#1 and #2):

19. Use this trick 2.
20.Getting the extra 5 bananas from the blast course and the extra 5 in the cabin is faster than getting the balloon. The time lost doing the kickjump is more than made up for by exit warping out of Chunkys room with the treasure chest.

A few things:

How will you get up to Lanky's switch in the Storage Room with DK? If you are using the backflip trick, it seems faster just to jump down from the R&D room (and you get 10 bananas that way).
After turning the Production Room power on, it seems faster to do this (from the route I posted a while back):
19. Tag Chunky, climb pole next to purple Kasplat, get GB behind gate.
20. Go to DK arcade room, use W5, capture fairy. Tag DK, use W5, get GB, get Nintendo Coin.
21. Enter portal, tag Tiny, fight boss. Get 5 B, get GB, get blueprint.
This saves some traveling time with Chunky.
Going to the Production Room and back with Diddy (step 18) seems pretty slow. Did you time it and see whether or not it was faster than my method?

You are still getting more bananas than necessary.

I found a few more tricks for my run (#1 and #2):

The second one allows me to go through the tunnel as DK again, so I took out the rainbow coin behind K. Lumsy and reverted the changes that resulted from adding it.

First off I agree that your method for getting Diddys bananas, bluperint and hitting the switch is better.

To get up to the switch with DK I just jump up it. You just have to jump the instant he starts sliding and I usually can get up to the top and over to the shed platform in less than 10 seconds. It only takes a second or 2 to the the extra banana bunch in the power shed and 4 or 5 if done well to get the extra bunch in the blast barrel. I'm pretty sure that is faster than walking out of Chunkys room in the R&D tagging DK and then shooting the balloon and jumping down to the shed.

The only kong I remember getting to many bananas was Diddy and I was going to take out the 5 bananas when descending the block tower so he would end up with 75.

He actually only gets 2 too many. I'd recommend taking out 2 of the 7 on the bottom floor of the Production Room.

For now I am going with your after production route but I have another idea that I'm not sure about.
It would go something like this.
1. Tag Tiny. Get blueprint on way to DK arcade room. Get 5 bananas and GB. Use W5 and tag DK.
2. Photograph fairy and use W5. Get GB and Nintendo coin from DK arcade. Enter T&S portal.
3. Tag Chunky and fight boss. Get GB from bonus barrel. exit/enter Use W1.

The main advantages would be not having to run back to the DK arcade room with Chunky and not having to run back to the storage room with Tiny.
The disadvantages are the time lost exit warping and using W1 along with however much time is lost in the Mad Jack fight by not being able to make diagonal jumps. That is the main problem since the switch pattern is random and sometimes I don't need a diagonal jump at all and sometimes I'll need several. Each time that a diagonal jump is needed it loses I would estimate 3 seconds.

Sorry for breaking 100% discussion.. for the any% run:
I've found a video in AA lobby and the trick is pretty easy to do (not directly helpfull but could be a way of going OOB then jumping into the stage passing B.Locker

the video show tiny going throught chunkys door because she's stopped by the text animation. We might be able to go OOB with c-up glitch over the not-flipped area. I haven't been lucky yet but it could be the key for a 5 bananas runs (1st, diddy's, 3 blueprints)

PS: If you're going throught the door directly, you get into a small black room, not OOB Cry

but if the door is not there, maybe you could simply walk at the right of the little room

anyway, hope someone will have better chance than I

There is one major problem with Manocheese using that for the any% run. There is a switch that you need to pound with Chunky behind the rock wall that Tiny opens with the feather bow. Until you do that there is a rock slab over that door and Wrinkly won't come out. The only way it would work is if you could do it on Diddys door but I tried it quite a bit a while back and couldn't do it most likely because Diddys wrinkly door is farther back than Chunkys.

BTW the any % run is already 5 bananas(Japes Lobby entrance,in front of Diddy's cage, banana in Diddy's cage, DK's blueprint, and Diddy's blueprint). If there was a way into AA without 5 bananas it would bring it down to a 4 banana run. The Japes lobby entrance and the banana in front of Diddy's cage are mandatory. 2 Blueprints are also needed since its probably impossible to beat HH in under 11 minutes for the any% route.(Sub 11 HH I believe is theoretically possible with Orangstand Sprint and the Mini-Monkey and Hunky Chunky messages from the bird(lose 2-3 seconds each) already done earlier.

I meant going OOB over the UNFLIPPED-rock, with c-up glitch, since we know this part of wall is a little further, I'll try again tonight but it seems there are 2 stacked wall Tongue

And I thought the route was 6 bananas because we were needing 3 BP but if sub 12 HH is ok well even getting in AA without 5 GB won't skip a big amount of time

Yes, a cucco riding the ground.

Unfortunately, even if there was a way into AA with less than 5 GBs, it would save very little time. You still need 4, so you would only skip the one inside Diddy's cage. This means that you would need to use STVW to get to the cave that leads to Cranky and to get to DK's Kasplat. You also would need to take time to actually perform the hypothetical glitch to get past B. Locker in the AA lobby, so you could even lose time overall. A good any% timesaver to look for now would be a way into the AA lobby without the first key.

I worked on both AA 101% routes today and found several improvements. I still have to iron some things out, so I'll probably post the updated routes tomorrow.

EDIT: I keep forgetting to post this. Here's something on David Wonn's site that could help in Crystal Caves:

Quote:

Chunky goes through ice
by David Wonn

In the Crystal Caves level, there is a rock and five green bananas encased in ice. In order to perform this glitch, DON'T melt the ice. Instead, take Chunky Kong there and go into the Chunky barrel to become Hunky Chunky. Walk up to the ice structure, hold Z and press B to perform a Primate Punch. This will make Chunky go partially through the ice. Now hold B and you can pick up the boulder right through the ice! Take caution because if you shrink while inside the ice, you'll be trapped! You'll need to select Exit Level to get out if Chunky reduces to normal size.

It's been a while since I've played that section, but IIRC, you should be able to use that trick to skip hitting a switch elsewhere in the level to break the igloo.

I've actually been working on Crystal Caves and I'm pretty sure that the switch that you put the rock on doesn't appear until you put the rock on the other switch. Along with that there are 13 bananas for Chunky in that area.

The biggest trick that I have found on Crystal Caves recently is in the blast barrel of all places. On the first shot if you let it go all the way to the left and shoot into the left barrel instead of going after the bananas you can skip I estimate 67% of the blast barrel course. The only drawback is having to replace the 10 bananas from the blast course elsewhere but I can think of a couple balloons that I could work in so it shouldn't be a big problem.

I also added the trick to spell kong without ramming the switch when freeing Tiny to the Aztec 1 route. Diddy doesn't need the coins over by the switch anyway.

2009-08-05 06:51:55 pm

Yes, a cucco riding the ground.

You can use savewarping to save some time before Jungle Japes. Here's what seems like the fastest way to do so:

Pre-Jungle Japes 101% Route (from new game)

-----Segment 1-----

1. Talk to Cranky and beat training barrels. Glitch past gate.
2. Swim to Banana Fairy Island and activate W5. Get camera and quit game. *

-----Segment 2-----

3. Go to K. Lumsy's island and activate W1. Open Japes and get rainbow coin. Quit game. *

-----Segment 3-----

4. Get GB outside Japes lobby. Enter Japes.

Notes:

When I say "quit game", you have to actually pause and select "quit game" because the game doesn't autosave certain things.

3. If you pause just after grabbing the rainbow coin, you can skip the bird's text.

A few improvements in Jungle Japes 1:

Activate W1 in the main area during the cutscene that plays when you first enter that area.
Get 4 bananas before entering the mine area, then 1 before the second time you enter. Then you only need 2 from the stream.

As far as Angry Aztec goes, I noticed that it takes a long time to get out of Chunky's room in the 5-door temple, so I tried to come up with a route that would exit warp or end the segment after getting the GB there. I couldn't think of one, though. Maybe you'll have better luck. Although I didn't change that, I did change some bananas. In particular, I chose faster bananas for Chunky, DK, and Lanky. I also moved DK's GB next to the llama cage to AA 2. If you get it in AA 1, you have to enter the level, use W1, and run over to it. By getting it in AA 2, you have to make one extra tag and you have to run there and back (actually, you get to swing there; I moved his 15 bananas above the trees to AA 2 as well, so you are already on top of the trees and you can get to the llama cage more quickly). It just doesn't seem faster to get that GB in AA 1. Also, you forgot to get Lanky's GB above the stone snakes in the llama temple, so I added that in and changed a few thing around in the llama temple. Anyway, here are the routes I came up with:

Angry Aztec 1

-----Segment 4-----

1. Activate W5. Use W1 and give key to K. Lumsy. End segment.

-----Segment 5-----

2. Get rainbow coin and activate W2 in front of Aztec. Get 15 ammo in lobby and enter.

Angry Aztec

3. Shoot switches and get blueprint. Continue through tunnel.
4. Buy Bongo Blast. Get rainbow coin.
5. Tag Diddy. Activate W1 and buy Guitar Gazump. Shoot balloon in front of temple and enter.
6. Pound switch and get 18 B. Play guitar. Get 7 B en route to Tiny's room. Free Tiny and get GB. Exit level and reenter.
7. Use W1. Play guitar on top of llama cage. Get 5 B en route to Cranky.
8. Tag DK and shoot 2 balloons. Activate W3 and fight boss. *
9. Tag Tiny and get blueprint. Get 10 B in tunnel, activating W2. Turn in blueprint.
10. Tag DK and turn in blueprints. Get 3 B en route to llama temple. Do Barrel Blast. Get 4 B and enter temple.
11. Go counterclockwise. Get 3 B and play Bongos. Get 3 B and pound switch. Get 3 B and activate W1. Get 1 B. Free Lanky and get GB. Leave temple.
12. Go through Strong Kong cave without Strong Kong, collecting 20 B. Get GB. End segment.

Notes:

8. Get DK between the boss and the barrel before you pick up the barrel. Doing so seems to reduce the chance that the boss wil block the barrel.

Angry Aztec 2

DK Isles

1. Tag Chunky and use W2. Remove boulders from music pads and play triangle for GB. Jump into tag barrel.
2. Tag Lanky and use W2. Play trombone and enter Aztec.

Angry Aztec

3. Use W1 and enter temple. Swim to Battle Crown room, collecting 4 B. Get 5 B and pound switch. Kill bird and get GB. Get Battle Crown.
4. Exit level and reenter. Use W1, W2, and W3. Get 6 B.
5. Tag Chunky. Become Hunky Chunky in tunnel. Glitch through cage and get GB. Use W2 and enter temple.
6. Get 25 B around torch. Get 4 B on slope and play triangle. Get GB. Exit level and reenter. Get 3 B and enter vase room. Get 20 B and GB. Exit level.
7. Tag Diddy and ram gongs. Tag Tiny and get GB. Enter Aztec. *
8. Use W1 and enter temple. Use STVW to get to GB room. Get GB and 5 B. Leave temple. *
9. Tag DK. Get 15 B from trees and swing to llama cage. Get GB and 3 B.
10. Tag Diddy. Use Rocketbarrel to get blueprint. Use W2 (5 B). Go left and get 3 B. Get 3 B in gong area and ram gongs.
11. Get Rocketbarrel. Fly through sun three times (5 B). Get GB above tower to trigger loss of race. Restart race. *
12. Get 5 B above llama temple while flying through rings. Get GB in sun. Fly to top of 5-door temple.
13. Pound switch and jump down. Get 4 B and use C-up glitch to enter temple. Shoot balloon and get GB. GET OUT. Feed totem pole.
14. Tag DK. Shoot switch and enter 5-door temple. Get GB and GET OUT.
15. Tag Chunky. Shoot switch and enter 5-door temple. Shoot 2 balloons. Get blueprint and GB. GET OUT. *
16. Tag Tiny. Get 5 B on path to temple. Climb tree and get 5 B. Shoot switch and enter temple. Photograph fairy and get GB. GET OUT.
17. Go counterclockwise around temple, collecting 20 B.
18. Tag Lanky. Shoot switch and enter 5-door temple. Shoot balloon and get GB. GET OUT. Get 15 B on treetops roughly on path to llama temple. Get 5 B near tag barrel next to Snide's. *
19. Tag Chunky near Snide's and get 3 B. Tag Tiny. Get 5 B near tower and shrink. Play saxophone and get GB from race. *
20. Enter llama temple. Shoot balloon and activate W2. Photograph fairy and shrink. Get 5 B en route to lava room. Get 5 B, get GB, get 5 B, and use W2. Use W1.
21. Tag Lanky. Shoot switch and kill enemies. Get GB and 5 B. Use W1 (5 B). Use W2 and get blueprint. Use W2. *
22. Play trombone and get GB above snakes. Go to room with Lanky's cage and shoot 2 balloons.

Notes:

7. If you're having trouble on that infernal fly-swatting minigame, which is even worse than Beaver Bother IMO, remember that the fly will slow down if you stop swatting for a few seconds.
8. It is faster to leave than to exit level and reenter.
11. When I got the GB on top of the tower, I didn't lose the race immediately. I had to fly over to the bird.
15. Climb one of the trees next to the 5-door temple instead of using the stairs when you enter with Chunky and Lanky.
18. The last bunch here is in the tree that is close to the tag barrel near Snide's, but far away from the tower. I timed this bunch versus Lanky's bananas in the Battle Crown room and in the llama temple.
19. Attack the beetle at the start of the race.
21. I realize that there is a lengthy cutscene that plays when the ropes leading to the 5 bananas here appear, but IIRC, the enemies will attack you while you are shooting the heads if you don't kill them, so you might as well do so. Killing them triggers the cutscene, so you really only lose the amount of time spent grabbing the bunch.

You can use savewarping to save some time before Jungle Japes. Here's what seems like the fastest way to do so:

Pre-Jungle Japes 101% Route (from new game)
[spoiler]
-----Segment 1-----

1. Talk to Cranky and beat training barrels. Glitch past gate.
2. Swim to Banana Fairy Island and activate W5. Get camera and quit game. *

-----Segment 2-----

3. Go to K. Lumsy's island and activate W1. Open Japes and get rainbow coin. Quit game. *

-----Segment 3-----

4. Get GB outside Japes lobby. Enter Japes.

Notes:

When I say "quit game", you have to actually pause and select "quit game" because the game doesn't autosave certain things.

3. If you pause just after grabbing the rainbow coin, you can skip the bird's text.[/spoiler]

A few improvements in Jungle Japes 1:

[list][li]Activate W1 in the main area during the cutscene that plays when you first enter that area.[/li]
[li]Get 4 bananas before entering the mine area, then 1 before the second time you enter. Then you only need 2 from the stream.[/li][/list]

As far as Angry Aztec goes, I noticed that it takes a long time to get out of Chunky's room in the 5-door temple, so I tried to come up with a route that would exit warp or end the segment after getting the GB there. I couldn't think of one, though. Maybe you'll have better luck. Although I didn't change that, I did change some bananas. In particular, I chose faster bananas for Chunky, DK, and Lanky. I also moved DK's GB next to the llama cage to AA 2. If you get it in AA 1, you have to enter the level, use W1, and run over to it. By getting it in AA 2, you have to make one extra tag and you have to run there and back (actually, you get to swing there; I moved his 15 bananas above the trees to AA 2 as well, so you are already on top of the trees and you can get to the llama cage more quickly). It just doesn't seem faster to get that GB in AA 1. Also, you forgot to get Lanky's GB above the stone snakes in the llama temple, so I added that in and changed a few thing around in the llama temple. Anyway, here are the routes I came up with:

Angry Aztec 1

[spoiler]
-----Segment 4-----

1. Activate W5. Use W1 and give key to K. Lumsy. End segment.

-----Segment 5-----

2. Get rainbow coin and activate W2 in front of Aztec. Get 15 ammo in lobby and enter.

Angry Aztec

3. Shoot switches and get blueprint. Continue through tunnel.
4. Buy Bongo Blast. Get rainbow coin.
5. Tag Diddy. Activate W1 and buy Guitar Gazump. Shoot balloon in front of temple and enter.
6. Pound switch and get 18 B. Play guitar. Get 7 B en route to Tiny's room. Free Tiny and get GB. Exit level and reenter.
7. Use W1. Play guitar on top of llama cage. Get 5 B en route to Cranky.
8. Tag DK and shoot 2 balloons. Activate W3 and fight boss. *
9. Tag Tiny and get blueprint. Get 10 B in tunnel, activating W2. Turn in blueprint.
10. Tag DK and turn in blueprints. Get 3 B en route to llama temple. Do Barrel Blast. Get 4 B and enter temple.
11. Go counterclockwise. Get 3 B and play Bongos. Get 3 B and pound switch. Get 3 B and activate W1. Get 1 B. Free Lanky and get GB. Leave temple.
12. Go through Strong Kong cave without Strong Kong, collecting 20 B. Get GB. End segment.

Notes:

8. Get DK between the boss and the barrel before you pick up the barrel. Doing so seems to reduce the chance that the boss wil block the barrel.[/spoiler]

Angry Aztec 2

[spoiler]
DK Isles

1. Tag Chunky and use W2. Remove boulders from music pads and play triangle for GB. Jump into tag barrel.
2. Tag Lanky and use W2. Play trombone and enter Aztec.

Angry Aztec

3. Use W1 and enter temple. Swim to Battle Crown room, collecting 4 B. Get 5 B and pound switch. Kill bird and get GB. Get Battle Crown.
4. Exit level and reenter. Use W1, W2, and W3. Get 6 B.
5. Tag Chunky. Become Hunky Chunky in tunnel. Glitch through cage and get GB. Use W2 and enter temple.
6. Get 25 B around torch. Get 4 B on slope and play triangle. Get GB. Exit level and reenter. Get 3 B and enter vase room. Get 20 B and GB. Exit level.
7. Tag Diddy and ram gongs. Tag Tiny and get GB. Enter Aztec. *
8. Use W1 and enter temple. Use STVW to get to GB room. Get GB and 5 B. Leave temple. *
9. Tag DK. Get 15 B from trees and swing to llama cage. Get GB and 3 B.
10. Tag Diddy. Use Rocketbarrel to get blueprint. Use W2 (5 B). Go left and get 3 B. Get 3 B in gong area and ram gongs. 
11. Get Rocketbarrel. Fly through sun three times (5 B). Get GB above tower to trigger loss of race. Restart race. *
12. Get 5 B above llama temple while flying through rings. Get GB in sun. Fly to top of 5-door temple.
13. Pound switch and jump down. Get 4 B and use C-up glitch to enter temple. Shoot balloon and get GB. GET OUT. Feed totem pole.
14. Tag DK. Shoot switch and enter 5-door temple. Get GB and GET OUT.
15. Tag Chunky. Shoot switch and enter 5-door temple. Shoot 2 balloons. Get blueprint and GB. GET OUT. *
16. Tag Tiny. Get 5 B on path to temple. Climb tree and get 5 B. Shoot switch and enter temple. Photograph fairy and get GB. GET OUT.
17. Go counterclockwise around temple, collecting 20 B.
18. Tag Lanky. Shoot switch and enter 5-door temple. Shoot balloon and get GB. GET OUT. Get 15 B on treetops roughly on path to llama temple. Get 5 B near tag barrel next to Snide's. *

22. Play trombone and get GB above snakes. Go to room with Lanky's cage and shoot 2 balloons.

Notes:

7. If you're having trouble on that infernal fly-swatting minigame, which is even worse than Beaver Bother IMO, remember that the fly will slow down if you stop swatting for a few seconds.
8. It is faster to leave than to exit level and reenter.
11. When I got the GB on top of the tower, I didn't lose the race immediately. I had to fly over to the bird.
15. Climb one of the trees next to the 5-door temple instead of using the stairs when you enter with Chunky and Lanky.
18. The last bunch here is in the tree that is close to the tag barrel near Snide's, but far away from the tower. I timed this bunch versus Lanky's bananas in the Battle Crown room and in the llama temple.
19. Attack the beetle at the start of the race.
21. I realize that there is a lengthy cutscene that plays when the ropes leading to the 5 bananas here appear, but IIRC, the enemies will attack you while you are shooting the heads if you don't kill them, so you might as well do so. Killing them triggers the cutscene, so you really only lose the amount of time spent grabbing the bunch.[/spoiler]

I agree about the slowness of exiting the 5 door temple with Chunky. The only real idea that I have for that would be to get all 25 of Tiny's bananas from around the 5 door temple before entering. After that exit warp immediately upon getting the GB and reenter and do the race against the beetle. The path to and completing the llama temple would be same as always except that you would exit the llama temple and go over to and complete the 5 door temple doing Chunky's part last. I'm not sure that both exit warps save enough time to warrant the extra running around though.

For Lankys 5 bananas in his GB room in the llama temple you don't actually have to kill the enemies and trigger the ropes. You can jump into the lava and backflip to grab them.

I never really had a problem with Big Bug Bash or any of the mini-games other than the previously mentioned Beaver Bother which I now have a real good strategy for and Minecart Mayhem which is the only videogame available to play in hell I'm pretty sure. The Minecart Mayhem in the Creepy Castle is particularily awful because the 2 carts actually make an intelligent effort to trap you and there is no way to predict what there going to do.

Even though I attack the beatle when playing the race it really isn't a neccesity for beating the race since I usually win that race by at least 4-5 seconds.

On to the any% do you think the new route improvements that you found will make 1:12 or perhaps 1:11 possible for your run again. Not having to do the blast barrel should save at least 30 seconds.

EDIT: I think that I may be able to make my Aztec 2 idea work. If I warped out of the 5 door temple with Tiny I should get her GB from the Klaptrap room after that point since I can leave the temple and W2 is right there to head to the beetle race. Lanky would be the one that would leave the camel temple and he would collect his 15 bananas on the path back to the 5 door temple. The biggest problem that I'm having is this removes Chunky's 3 bananas from by the tag barrel by Snides and they have to be replaced somehow unless Tiny goes to that barrel after winning the beatle race and tags Chunky for them. Unfortunately with that you would have to tag Tiny right back in.

I don't think so. I made my last estimate after finding a way into the llama temple with Diddy. Getting in with DK doesn't save enough time to push the time to 1:12 unless some other timesavers are found.

Here's a video I forgot to upload when I made my last post:

EDIT: Some of you have already seen DK64's page in the new SDA Strategy Wiki:

http://speeddemosarchive.com/kb/index.php/Donkey_Kong_64

It's a place to organize speed run-related knowledge of the game. Feel free to contribute to it. I think the general structure the page has now (i.e. separate sections for general techniques and level-specific ones; sections for bosses and minigames; etc.) should work well, so if you have a major change in mind, discuss it on the talk page ("discussion" at the top) first. Otherwise, go ahead and just add stuff as you see fit. Any further discussion should probably take place on the talk page to keep this thread focused.

I've made some major edits to the Aztec 2 route. Aztec 1 now needs a major overhaul as well.

It is possible to get Tiny's GB from the Aztec lobby without Pony Tail Twirl. DK can jumpkick to the barrel and play the game. You still have to tag Tiny to pick up the GB though. I'm thinking of using this for the 15th GB in the Aztec 1 segment. If I do I will be able to glitch into Lanky's room and buy the drums at FF. I would then get DK's bananas and hit the switch to open the cave on the trip in in Aztec 2 and move DK's trip into the 5DT till after the camel temple and get the GB then.

For the any% route the entrance to JJ is right below where you would fall off behing AA. I was wondering if after opening JJ if you could walk the path to AA and get the rainbow coin then and drop to the JJ entrance whether that would save time by making it unnecessary to collect some banana coins that you get already.

I'm almost done with the preliminary Crystal Caves route I should have it added to the main route sometime this evening along with the changes to Aztec 1.

I don't think that would save time. The only coins that would be skipped are 5 of Diddy's in JJ, and those don't take much time.

The preliminary Crystal Caves route has been added to the 101% route. I also added a key to help figure out which door to jump in when you use the STVW glitch to enter the respective rooms of the 5 room igloo.
