Feature Explanations

Version 1.5

Misc Changes

The following changes are implemented if Misc Changes are enabled:

• Laggy Weather Effects: Laggier weather effects are disabled, such as Castle's Lightning storm and Aztec's Sandstorm, with the aim to provide more stability on some platforms
• K. Lumsy Cutscenes: K. Lumsy cutscenes are skipped. All keys that you have are turned in at the same time.
• Fairy Camera: Fairy Camera photo taking is drastically sped up. Additionally, this removes the laggy effects experienced on BizHawk with the traditional camera.
• Aztec Lobby Bonus Barrel: Aztec Lobby bonus barrel has been lowered a few units to make it easier to reach, especially on low-lag platforms
• Vulture Race: Upon freeing the vulture, the vulture free cutscene is skipped
• Llama Free Sequence: The llama freeing sequence is slightly shortened
• Mill Grate Chunky Check: The grate in the rear portion of Fungi Mill which blocks access to Fungi Forest if you enter the rear mill as a non-Chunky kong will be gone
• Skipped First-time Texts: First time textboxes (eg. Bananaport first tag text) will be automatically skipped
• Auto-Dance Skip: Collectables which produce a dance sequence upon collecting, such as Golden Bananas will auto-skip the dance cutscene and sequence, saving ~5s per collectable
• Fast Boot: The boot sequence is drastically sped up. Additionally, beating the game or quitting the game will bring you to the main menu instead of the N64 logo sequence
• Instant Transform Barrels: Transformation Barrels will not perform the lengthy transformation animation.
• Ammo Swap: Pressing D-Down will toggle between the kong using standard ammo and homing ammo. This toggle is only enabled once you have the homing ammo ability and have some homing ammo in your inventory.
• Boss Cutscenes: Lengthy Boss introductory cutscenes are automatically skipped
• Story Skip: Story Skip is enabled by default, meaning that you don't have to go into the options menu every boot to prevent lengthy story cutscenes playing.
• Small Banana Indicator: A bell ding will play upon collecting a colored banana if you have surpassed the amount of colored bananas required to open the boss door in that level.
• Galleon Enguarde Star: The Enguarde star in Gloomy Galleon only requires going through once instead of 3 times
• Bug Fixes: Some bugs have been fixed such as the Rambi damage bug and Fake Key
• Textboxes: Textboxes will stay open in Lobbies and shops, where custom hints from the Randomizer are often provided, require B to close and won't auto-close upon reaching the end of the text.
• Giant Kosha: The Giant Kosha in Crystal Caves is automatically killed by default.

• Owl Race GB: Only requires 8 rings to be flown through, as opposed to 16

• Seal Race GB: Requires only 1 lap
• Diddy R&D GB: Only requires 1 wave of enemies to be defeated, as opposed to 3

Puzzle Solution Randomizer

• Lanky R&D: Piano sequence is randomized.
• Helm Stars: Stars inside Hideout Helm have their positions randomized.
• Factory Number Game: Buttons are shuffled around and rotated. A line is placed under the 9 and the 6 to help indicate which button is which.
