THE NAME'S KRUNCH
back when you could put indians in your game
Ay yo can someone vibe code this to be full HD textures widescreen with online multiplayer?Appreciate it
it already has online multiplayer, and it was probably vibe coded too
>>748976669I wish he didn't suck :(
i'm tiptup! WHOOOOA
>>748979745We need more data centers, AI needs it
>>748979692https://github.com/ThatGuyMcd/DKR-R
>>748980261I thought Krunch was the worst?
Why was he put in jail?
>>748980261Seeing this tier list reminds me of a thread that was either a couple months ago or may've even been last year, but the OP was complaining about how bad Pipsy is and how it's impossible to beat Wizpig with her, then some Pipsyfag showed up and recorded a vid of him first trying Wizpig with herWas a based thread
>>748980949pipsy is a GIRL WITH COOTIES
>>748976669I'M BANJ-WHOOAAAAAAA
>>748980261>the only girl>is the worstMan...
>>748980992raping Tooty
>>748980949Pipsy is weird, if you suck or are new to the game she seems like the best character because her handling and acceleration stats are so good you'll never have to use the drift button, but if you get better at the game you'll notice that she is very slow and her handling stat doesn't let her take advantage of the drifting mechanics, Tiptup is slightly faster than her and his handling isn't as good so he can use Powersliding better than her.Krunch has terrible handling and acceleration but he's as fast as T.T or Drumstick afaik, and the other vehicles can mitigate his awful handling a bit.
>>748976669I can't believe he's gone... we tried to tell him he couldn't make the turn... he didn't listen...
>>748976669Excuse me, but are you deaf?>"MY NAME KRUNCH"fixed it for you, and no he doesn't say "name's" with an S at the end."My name Krunch", as if he was a third worlder.
>>748980261Pipsy's the best. I don't care what ya T.T. scrubs think. Adventure 1 was piss easy with her though collecting silver coins on Sherbet Isles in Adventure 2 with her truly is suffering.
>>748982313he survived a plane crashing on his face, he'll be alright
>>748978225I don't understand why this was changed in the DS remake. He's already a blue elephant wearing a turban, if anything it was more offensive to remove his Indian accent and replace it with a generic anglo one.
>>748986031Removing anything that could possibly offend a total loony is a censor's job.
>>748980993Damn dude I remember that thread, people hating on Pipsy are retarded but I like Tiptup more. I also play the N64 version and not the DS because they made Drumstick OP
>>748976669wtf they put king k rool in speed freaks??? these ai mods are crazy
>>748976669I felt like a fucking god when I found the gold balloon down the river as a kid
Has anyone beaten the developer's times you get during the credits after Wizpig 2? They're pretty difficult, and I think you can only beat them with Krunch or the unlockable characters.
>>748980261I was a tiptup main and beat the game and got TT so what’s the issue? Why is he allegedly D tier?
>>748986735>Has anyone beaten the developer's times you get during the credits after Wizpig 2?WHAT???? I've 100% the game several times and never realized there were any dev times besides T.T.>looks it upOkay, so it was those race course times that flash across the screen at the end of the credits. I don't know why, but I never paid attention to those. Do you win anything from beating those times? I'd be up for the challenge.
>>748980261i never managed to unlock thar fucking clock
>>748988274Nothing, just bragging rights, they're pretty difficult to beat though (like i said only Krunch, Drumstick and T.T can get close to those times), I'm doing them with Krunch and no A-Tapping exploit, currently stuck on Pirate Lagoon.>>748987707He's the 2nd slowest character in the game
>>748988703>Nothing, just bragging rightsI see. I'll give them a try. I was already planning on playing the game again on my modded Wii today.>and no A-Tapping exploitLmao why not?
>>748989285Not a fan of that trick, I think the other tricks (hovercraft snaking, barrel rolling, etc..) are more interesting and fun.
>>748979692Been playing >>748980909 and its fun with widescreen and hugh refresh rate.I havent tested it yet but I hope music actually plays in 3-4 player split screen now.
>>748980949EEEEHHHHBoth Krunch and Pipsy are deficienct in their own ways. I could see them varying in rank just based on what you value in a character. Pipsy is a bit better seeming when you fire the game up for the first time, it takes time to really understand how shit she is and how much she's holding you back, while Krunch is pretty immediately obviously shit, with his strong points requiring time and experience to coax good results out of. That said, Krunch's performance in a plane is better than anything Pipsy can do, period, so Krunch ranking higher makes sense to me.
>>748989769Yeah. I feel you, I don't use it either except for the first Wizpig race because it filtered the fuck out of me from ever unlocking Future Fun Land and beating the game as a kid. Guess I still have childhood fears from that lol
>>748987707Too slow. That's really it. The gap between Tiptup and the more "average" characters is substantial, you really, really notice it. Not quite unsalvagable the way Pipsy is, but it's still pretty noticeable. He can be good for some of the more motherfucker coin challenges though, fair shake.
Krunch is actually really sick when you get used to his handling.
>>748980992>Why was he put in jail?Indecent exposure. I'm 100% not kidding. Rare even said so themselves that Bumper's a certified freak. But they gave an update in 2021 and have confirmed that Bumper has since been released from prison and was "superficially sorry" for his actions.
>>748991193God bless Leigh Loveday and his sense of humor.
>>748991156Nice.To be honest I've never had an issue with Krunch's handling after I had mastered braking and drifting, which makes quick sharp turns easy for any character. It's similar to CTR for me actually. Krunch in the hovercraft can go to hell though.
>>748992392For hovercraft I use hops to take turns, you can also do a hop and brake or push down while in the air to have a sharper turn, just be wary of your speed.Theres videos with tutorials on all three vehicles, the hovercraft is the hardest to learn but also one of the craziest vehicles in the game.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SpFBU_2Evq8https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iyFzjnYAVb4https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LjBe5Fgih9k
>>748980992I never heard about this>>748991193>Bumper's a certified freakI... I feel seen
>>748992685YeahThe Hovercraft has probably the highest skill ceiling in the game. You can do CRAZY shit with it. Personally, for me it's Banjo in the hovercraft, but I think Krunch has some legitimate potential in it. Almost every handling downside you can imagine in a hovercraft can be turned into an advantage of some kind, it's nuts.
>>748986031>remove his Indian accent and replace it with a generic anglo one.They should have just casted an Indian guy to do the accent if they wanted to go the PC route
>>748976669I find it funny how a fan letter to Rare in the 90's was in some YouTube video which then got brought up on /v/ and then the guy who wrote the letter showed up in the thread as an Anon with proof
>>748993880Is that true?
>>748993880They use to respond to them too. https://www.raregamer.co.uk/scribes/
i like when Drumstick goes OUWAAAAAAGH
>>748976669I PICK DIDDY AND PIPSY OR BUST
>"YOU CAN'T BEAT ME!">race him>actually can't fucking beat him kino
>>748995031Who would winNG+7 Promised Consort RadahnOr Fast Pig
>>748994447https://arch.b4k.dev/v/thread/704226943/#704236307
>>748980261for me it's Pipsy>DSI don't remember ever picking Dixie, Wizpig, or Taj but I did jerk off to Tiny Kong back then
>>748995105NTA fast pig
I like the idea of the game but I’ve quit like 4 times a little bit after beating the dinosaur
QuestionWhy
Dixie should have been in this game
>>748980949I think in the N64 version his stats were like 1/5 for handling and accel, and 4/5 top speed (so he's still behind Drumstick and TT with 5/5)he got buffed in the DS version though
I dont know much about DKRDS, aren't Wizpig and Taj the best characters there?
>>748996202nah, still T.T. they're both really good tho
>>748980261I got DKR a year after release and had no idea you could unlock TT until 7 or 8 years later I had the Brady guides strategy guide and they didn't mention it at all.
He filtered millions.
>>748995717Because her relation with Dixie wasn't brought over to Japan
>>748995717Surprisingly the design wasn't done because she was replacing a literal bear
>>748995764They barely added in Diddy three months before its November 1997 release. Probably didn't have much time to pivot further resources into more characters, but it would have been nice to include more Donkey Kong content. Speaking of, those new Donkey Kong inspired race tracks included in the DS remake were TERRIBLE.>>748995717I am like 95% sure this was Miyamoto's idea but why Tiny was aged into a humanoid teenager and Dixie wasn't is a mystery that eludes all of us.
Diddy Kong Racing is proof Rare wasn't "forced" to turn Dinosaur Planet into Star Fox Adventures They've always compromised if it meant more sales Sure the game is in copyright limbo over a single character (and Krunch since he's retroactively a Kremling) that'll probably get worse depending on how Asha stands on licensing to Nintendo but they didn't know that back then
For how beloved this game is, I wish it had a bigger modding/romhack community, the performance patch wad nice if a bit buggy.
>>748998687Diddy Kong Racing is probably one of the most confusing cases of IP ownership I've seen.Nintendo owns:>Diddy Kong, and Krunch because he's a kremling.>The actual game IP, source code, and publishing rights.Yet they own literally nothing in it that isn't Diddy and Krunch, as that all belongs to Rare and Microsoft. So the entire rest of the characters, the bosses, the race tracks, the music, the designs of the balloons and collectables, besides the banana and N64 tokens probably. It's also why Rare was able to make merch a while back of the characters they owned under the Rare Racers name.
>>749001931>Rare was able to make merchTechnically Fangamer made the merch
>>749001931I do like that Tiptup somehow sneaked into DKRDS despite him being a Banjo character.
>>748995134Kek what the fuck
>>748996202Wizpig is very track dependant. They nerfed TT but he's still the best for most purposes.Wizpig has a few maps he fucks on, undeniably.
>>748980261Tiptupbros...
>>749003475I should replay DKRDS one day, I know it isnt nearly as good as 64, but I'd like to see if if it is that much of a downgrade.
>>749003172>That leaves Tiptup and Bumper. I don't know WHERE Bumper came from and, frankly, I don't care.The fuck did Bumper do to you kid.
>>748980261Tiptupbros what can we do to recover from this
>>749003172deranged letters to companies were so much funnier back in the days before the internet made them commonplace
>>749003172Beb didn't even main Tiptup lol
>>749002714I think he's....bothAs in legally there are two Tiptups recognized as two distinct characters for two distinct games who are both owned by RareImagine if Dinosaur Planet Tricky stayed as Diddy Kong Racing Tricky even after the move to Star Fox Adventures
>>748980261T.T. bros....everything is as expected
>>748998687>Had Pro-Am 64 stolen from him.>Had Dinosaur Planet stolen from him right after.Is there a more cucked character in video games? Better question why is Timber such a chud?
>>748986101I feel like this is a case of it only offending fat white women. The jeets probably wouldn't mind
>>748980261bullshit, Pipsy the champion of clearing the first cycle. You'll pretty much be playing as her or Timber until you get Drumstick. The remainder are benchwarmers, Krunch is a sick developer joke
>>749005690Not speaking about that specific letter but a lot of fan letters to PC mags were actually either heavily edited to be funny or entirely made up and most letters they got were like the stuff you'd get from a minecraft conference. Though apparently the uk sonic comic ones were 100% legit and they really were just drawing hitler sonic. Source: My dad worked at nintendo. No just kidding he was a freelancer writer for a few tech/pc mags in the 90s.
>>748980261Pipsy and tip tup are not low tier at all. Whoever made that is trolling, clearly, seeing that they also put crunch not in his own distinct diarrhea tier
Timba!
>>749007885aieeee, my childhood wonderthat's actually interesting, I always kinda wondered if that was true
>>748980949
A skilled Krunch can beat any T.T
>>748998687>Diddy Kong Racing is proof Rare wasn't "forced" to turn Dinosaur Planet into Star Fox Adventures>They've always compromised if it meant more salesAnd it was still a fucking stupid decision because it cost MORE money to change the fucking game instead of eating the loss and dropping a classic that would have gotten its flowers down the line. Better game my ass, SFA was straight SHIT and everything good was a holdover from DP, everything that was shit was due to the changes from DP. I'm not budging on that one, especially after the DP prototype got leaked. I was one of the biggest slack cutters for SFA back then. Not anymore.
>>749007670lmao
>>749007670Fun fact, the artists who did the Rare anniversary artwork from last year chose not to include Diddy Kong Racing characters Rare owned because they knew if they did the fans would overthink it
>>749011091Literally why? These characters never get acknowledged at all lol is Rare run by actual retards? Clearly so since they haven't shipped a game since 2018.
>>749011590They were fan artists hired for the project
>>748995134Aww, where is the actual proof in that thread? Is his steam profile supposed to be proof? Because it's not. I could change my profile name to be Thomas Jefferson, that doesn't mean I wrote the declaration of independence.
Best race track and music in the game coming throughhttps://youtu.be/Q8DGFuM9Z3A
>>749009404Only as true as my dad's limited experience with a handful of UK-based gaming mags of the era, but I generally believe him on the basis that he's a fucking shit liar.
>>749012830>>749009404>>749007885It makes sense from a legal perspective and matches "agony aunt" stuff that was always anonymized from actual letters. The idea being you summarise a series of letters you get on a theme into one letter from a not-fucking-real person so you don't get sued to high hell somehow by said person when you reply to them. See you were giving advice/calling their letter shit, not everyone else who sent a real letter etc.I know that's why at least the agony aunt letters that got posted were literally never an actual person at least. It also means you can strawman the letter better to fit the reply.
i just beat this zesty fucker on the PC recomp. something about it feels off. a tapping does NOT work and idk if it's my controller or the AI jeet recomp
Was this David Wise's last notable OST prior to DKC3 GBA?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGRmQEDLU6A&list=PLfTJKMMJkrdP8TVj5hKuy0QAQdNR4RDpg&index=28
>>749013531You kidding? I noticed the controls were completely fucked in the first 5 seconds of gameplay and dropped it.
>>749014287I haven't played DKR since I owned it on the N64 so I don't know how it should feel or play, it's been way too long
>>749014316If you emulate the original, don't bother with the DS game. The new levels are absolute trash.
>>748997474yes i fucking hate him
>>749013531i havent used a-tapping on dkr-r because i find it cheap but i assume it may be the 60fps messing up with the exploit, i think it also affects the in-game timer.
>>748997474my mum unlocked him for me
>>749012484DKR puts up such a high bar for music, even today. I should really go back and listen to some more of the tracks.
>>749012484For me, it's Greenwood Village.https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rGRmQEDLU6A
>>748997474I fucking hate his gross hyper-realistic creepypasta hands
Renting this and discovering the medieval world back in the day was such a treat. And eventually the space stages. They really make you work for the unlocks in this game.
>>749015068The Dragon filtered me.
>>749014456that could be it. whenever I compare my gameplay to an N64 version on youtube, things look a little off.
>>748997474CELEBRATE GOOD TIMES
>>748997474I beat the rest of the game, tried one time trial and saw him smoking me on the second lap out of nowhere. I'm done time to move on
>>749012484Nothing beats the memory of the winter tracks when we got this game for Christmashttps://youtu.be/7siNuZ_Cnzo?si=JToaW7gCoVEdxZsd
