Donkey Kong Country Playthrough (Actual SNES Capture) - Kongo Jungle
This is part 1 of my 101% playthrough of Donkey Kong Country for the SNES. This is not an emulator and was not played on the Wii or Wii U Virtual Console. This footage was recorded directly from my Super Nintendo using a real Donkey Kong Country cartridge.
I became a Nintendo Power subscriber starting in 1993 with the Super Mario All-Stars issue, so sometime in 1994 I received the VHS promo for Donkey Kong Country from Nintendo Power. The VHS tape gave a detailed glimpse into the development of the new game and even showed off some of the earliest footage of Nintendo's Treehouse. I must have watched that video a dozen times or so. Donkey Kong was coming back, and he was getting his own new adventure along the lines of Super Mario Bros.
However, when Donkey Kong Country was released later in 1994, I didn't bother to pick up my own copy of the game. Instead, I just rented it or played it at other people's houses. But I definitely beat the game a multiple times, and it was excellent to say the least. The gameplay was amazing, and the music was simply incredible. I also liked all the different animal friends.
Sometime around the late '90s I then visited a pseudo-friend's house when I saw his SNES games strewn all over the floor. Since he didn't seem to care about these old games, I asked to borrow his copy of Donkey Kong Country, and I conveniently never returned it. So I scored a free Donkey Kong Country cartridge just like that and added an awesome game to my collection.
Also, a couple years ago when Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze was being released, I picked up the Official Nintendo Power Player's Guide for Donkey Kong Country on the SNES. I then used that guide to post my prior 101% playthrough. I'll be relying on that guide once again for this playthrough. I hope you enjoy the new footage.
In this first part I started a new save file and completed the Kongo Jungle area.
Recorded with the Hauppauge HD PVR and the official SNES S-video cable at 60 frames per second. I used a Toshiba model D-R550 DVD Recorder to upconvert the SNES's native 240p signal to 480i so that the Hauppauge could capture the console's audio/video signal.
I'm using a standard SNES controller.
