Personally, I was always a big fan of the theme for ‘Banana Fairy Isle,’ which always managed to tug at my heartstrings in a way I couldn’t always fully describe as a kid.įortunately, Grant agreed with me, saying:
All of Rare was massive Nintendo fans and used to point to Mario and say, ‘You can listen to that music over and over and over and over again, and you don’t get tired of it. “I really wanted to make sure all the level tunes stood up to a good beating. You obviously try to be your best, but you never really know until it gets out there,” he admitted. “I like ‘Crystal Caves,’ it was more of a mellow-sounding level and I like the spooky one, ‘Creepy Castle.’ That’s a kind of Addams Family, click-of-the-fingers thing. Donkey Kong 64, which perfected the “collectathon” format of Banjo Kazooie the year before, contains nearly a dozen different worlds that range from a jungle, to an enchanted forest, to an Aztec-inspired desert, to an evil toy factory, to pretty much everything in between.
I’m glad people are laughing finally after 20 years.”Īs for what he enjoys most about the instrumental score, Grant is partial to several themes that helped build the immersive (and sometimes hair-raisingly ominous) atmosphere of the game. People have a good laugh with it now, which is what it was all about in the first place. None of them were born when that rap came out, so it’s quite funny that it’s managed to last and stand the test of time. “My son’s 17 and at his 16th birthday when he was having pizza with the guys after playing a few games, they all started chanting the ‘DK Rap,’ and they knew every word. A lot of people I meet in the street know the words to the ‘DK Rap.’ It’s ridiculous,” said Grant. “It’s become one of those heartwarming things. Rool in the final-not t extremely difficult-boss battle. Most of us have fond memories of collecting golden bananas, beating the old Donkey Kong arcade game, and facing off against King K. After two decades, the public has finally warmed up to the “DK Rap,” especially now that the kids who grew up playing Donkey Kong 64 can now, as adults, appreciate just how great the game was at the time.
