My first recorded run just after one practice-playthrough to test some tactics. I've seen DKC-runs on SNES, but never learned the route. So please keep in mind that this is more like my own way to play the game than real speedrun-tactics.
There may be some skips for this version, I don't think tricks like Jumprolls work on GBA. Furthermore I'm sure everyone will notice the insane amount of lag, especially in water levels. All the small sprites like bubbles an fish, which serve no other purpose than just make this version look better, create such a huge amount of lag. It's not my pc, it's just a normal frame limit. I will test this in my GBA cartridge later. Timeloss due to lag may add up to over more than half a minute, I assume.
Many deaths, way too many unintentional hits and even more smaller mistakes. Sub 50 is possible without any doubts.
Non the less I'm quite happy with that, since it's my first run und even my first speedrun of a Jump'n'Run game.

I'm pretty sure I'll try to improve this whole thing.
If there are any questions, feel free to leave them in the comments. I will answer them as soon as possible (if I'm able to :D)!
Thanks for watching! :3
