Completing SNES games - Donkey Kong Country: Diddy's Kong Quest World 5
Gloomy Gulch has some spooky levels to change up the gameplay once again
This is game #21 in my series for completing SNES games using an emulator and ROMs.
In part 5 of the game Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest I am now getting into levels with things like the ghost ropes and the spooky sounding music, adding a chilling feeling as you try to get through them, but it isn't all spooky...
Second level is a new roller coaster level! Except you are being chased by spooky skeleton pirate looking ghost things that you need to escape through the next door in time, collecting the barrels that add extra time so you can make it!
I move on to another level looking and feeling a lot like Gloomy Gulch except... The winds are a pain to deal with at first as they could put you down to death or be used as intended, to continue through the level. A bunch of enemies and obstacles around but overall just as fun as the other levels.
Flightless bird in the beehive by slowly gliding down and not being able to do anything else. Watch out for all the bees though as you will need to just avoid some in order to make it passed others or die numerous times like I did with some of the mistakes I made.
I end the world levels before the boss, on another spooky level like the others, with the spider as what my kongs turn into, needing the webs to get me across big gaps as the level progresses. Overall it is pretty easy if you stay calm and ensure you use the second web ability that makes one into a platform for crossing the gaps.
Boss for world 5 is the old pirate bird from world 1, back from the afterlife as a ghost bird to try get revenge on the kongs for the defeat and death of it, which is manages to succeed in getting some nice kills on me until I get the right run without mistakes and I can proceed onto the next world!
Streamlabs OBS used for recording and setting the scene with SNES font, my avatar and the game picture for what I am playing.
Emulator used: RetroArch
ROMS: They are the games
Saving: Using emulator saving between levels or occasionally in tough parts so I don't always die and repeat so then the game can get completed.
