Best 100% time with deaths: single-segment 1:37:59 by Karl 'Normand' Grenier on 2008-10-19.
Author's comments:
Yes, this is a 100% single-segment run of Conker's Bad Fur Day for the N64. Before commenting on the actual run, here's a short faq :
Q : Why did you run this game ?
A : Back in the days, Rareware was my favorite game developer (yep, they used to make good games), and even though Conker's BFD isn't their most popular title, it's the one I cherish the most. Everything about it is just wonderful.
Q : You know, there is a remake on Xbox that's just as good, with better graphics. Why didn't you run this one instead ?
A : I was greatly disappointed by Conker : Live and Reloaded. I don't have an Xbox anyway.
Q : Why a 100% run ? There was already one on SDA.
A : Even if SnapDragon's 2:10:32 run is pretty good, it's really outdated, and a 100% run is just too similar to an any% run.
Comments on the run itself :
Hungover :
Nothing special here. The only part that looks like a mistake is when I wait a bit before whacking the key, but you need to do so. If you don't, your frying pan will just pass through it.
Barn Boys :
This chapter went ok. At a certain point, you have to cut Franky's hanging rope by throwing a knife at it. He only falls after you miss the rope four times, which is why I didn't aim at it right after picking up the throwing knives. I got an unlucky fight against the first form of the Haybot, but there's not much you can do about it.
Also, I'm pretty sure that this is the fastest route to get the five clouds of bees.
Windy :
Regarding the bit with the bull, you need to hit the cows while they're standing still (munching grass or defecating). If you hit them too soon, they'll just start spinning for a few seconds, which wastes... a few seconds. I wouldn't say I was overcautious, but with better timing, I could've saved some time.
You can fall directly at the bottom of the poo mountain with a single jump after getting the wad of cash at the top, but here, I activated the funny helicoptery tail thing too late.
Bats Tower :
Decent chapter. Knocking out the cogs was kind of sloppy, but it didn't waste too much time. It's possible to shoot the letter "P" right after the letter "O" without waiting for the wheel to do another rotation, but it's extremely difficult. I have only managed to do it once in a single-segment attempt.
Sloprano :
Pretty short chapter. The Great Mighty Poo's battle was good. He usually switches places more frequently, I was lucky here.
Uga Buga :
This is where the real mistakes start appearing.
Phlegm :
This is probably the funniest mistake in the run. I just couldn't seem to land on that tombstone.
Worship :
I still don't understand what happened to that caveman. I checked to see if he was following the group, and everything seemed fine. Then he suddenly appeared to be miles back (yes, miles), so I just left him behind. It didn't make much difference anyway, the three remaining cavemen did their job quickly.
Rock Solid :
Lucky level. You need to get as close as you can to the second rock guy before urinating on him, or you won't be able to push him far enough.
Buga The Knut :
The worst part of this run. For some reason, you need to wait for Buga to do a ground pound before you can land your first hit. Unfortunately, I got too close to him, so he raised his bone instead. This resulted in a loss of 15-20 seconds.
Windy :
Wasps' Revenge :
The wasps' movement patterns are completely random, so I didn't expect much more than this from a single-segment.
Spooky :
Mr. Death :
The zombies part was fairly good. I failed to jump over that fence on my first try, so I got hit by a zombie. If you get a headshot while the target is too far away, the shot won't be fatal.
Count Batula :
Another bad part. I kept getting hit by these heat-seeking stakes, which compelled me to get some additional health, since I need at least 3 chocolate squares to survive the glitch in the next level. Conker regains his squirell's voice when he's eating chocolate, makes sense.
