Personally, Mad Jack is my favorite boss. His theme is what makes him special.

Love your vibe and style of commentary would love to see morr! Subbed!

I'm surprised you didn't mention the final world. While it's no Creepy Castle, Hideout Helm is scary for a different reason. After you arrive K. Rool has had enough of this. With all his top minions thwarted he activates the cannon despite pleas from his Kritters that firing the laser in it's current state can cause a chain reaction that can destroy Crocodile Isle but K. Rool doesn't listen swearing goodbye to DK Isles. For most of the level you are on a timer. Even in the tag barrel and the mini games you are being timed. And if that timer reaches zero you lose. Game Over. This is the only way to get a true game over in this game that doesn't involve quitting the game. And it's made even more unnerving by K. Rool's laugh as the timer gets close to zero. After shutting down the machine the place simply goes silent with an ominous track playing as you enter the now abandoned throne room of K. Rool and even the bridge of the mechanical island finding at the end a key unguarded without any boss to fight. It really gives the vibe that this place is the end. You reached K. Rool's lair and the instant you put the final key in the cage the final battle begins aboard a a new version of the Flying Kroc.

To me, Creepy Castle was more of a fun horror than genuine scary. Like when you're a kid during Halloween

Something that keeps coming back to me is how arbitrary everything in DK64 feels?

Entertaining watch, looking forward to seeing the audio being improved.

Speaking of dreams the greenhouse maze in Creepy castle is a scene that feels like it came out of a dream.

i wasnt spooked once while playing it back then.

Need to tone down that music, man, can't really hear you.

As a kid I always got a creepy vibe from playing this game but I wasn't sure why
