After beating the game 101% for the first time I'll say I'm happy I've finally done it. The set isn't nearly as bad as most in the thread have made it out to be and most come from normal completion.

That being said, two of these 100% belong in a bonus set, those being: The Champ is Here, and Nickels and Dimes.

K.Rool damageless is absurd for the normal person that doesn't want to use save states or waste actual days of their life practicing one boss.

Nickels and Dimes forces players to either follow a guide the whole time whilst potentially tracking progress on a spreadsheet, or makes them wander the game for what could easily without exaggerations take actual days worth of game time to find an item that doesn't have its progress tracked by the game, doesn't count towards completion %, and we may not even know the final locations of all of them in the game anyways.
Tabantha 1 May 2023 22:32
This list is awful, this should've been part of a bonus set, not the main one. I was really eager to start this, but after looking at the first 9 missable achievements, yeah, it's a no for me
Poefred 2 May 2023 06:23
How can you say it's awful if you haven't even started it? The missables are nothing remotely warranting a bonus set tbh.
Primofaro 2 May 2023 19:17
Great set, but don't be me, I used a few glitches to get to Crystal Caves early just for moves, but it locked me out of boss achievements. I'm gonna get these two stressful missables then start back over. Thanks again for the set and especially for linking tag anywhere mod.
Tabantha 2 May 2023 19:33
How is having to get to certain places without the moves that the game literally gives you to use "nothing remotely warranting a bonus set"? Plus there are so many achievements which just seem unnecessary and devilish such as getting 30K points on the arcade, Damageless K. Rool and honestly Crystal Caves sounds like a pain not being able to kill Kosha and having to do the ice maze unharmed. It's all subjective, since I haven't tried it yet, but just looking at it puts me off from wanting to complete this set. I'm sorry for not being an expert player, i just wanted to try the achievements without them feeling lke a chore.
Poefred 2 May 2023 20:26
Well for example jump up superstar the solution is simply to just move a rock behind the temple and backflipping off of it. Not killing Kosha doesn't really change the level a whole lot. The spinning ice maze damageles was a bit challenging but it's a short moment that's really quick to just die and try again. (Fast forward hotkey is allowed in case you didn't know) And K.rool is a long fight but he's generally not gonna surprise you once you memorized his patterns. The most questionable one of the set, flying to the top of K.rool's ship using Diddy, does require you watch a video to know the route you need to take to avoid the invisible no-jetpack walls but it's not so bad either.

Dunno, I get it 'cuz DK64 was the first set I played on this site and the missables made me nervous at first. But I find a lot of sets in general seem scary until you're playing the game. Taking the achievements as they come instead of letting the scope of the entire game weigh on you before you start gives a way different perspective imo. Especially since this allows the character swap with no tag barrel mod.

The one you gotta worry about most is actually the collect all coins achievement. If you make sure you use the same character to purchase all the non kong-specific upgrades it's easy to track down who's coins your missing.
Either way theres no shame in not going for 100%. Personally I wouldn't call a set awful just because I only liked 90% of it.
GoddessBow 2 May 2023 23:44
I personally only have 2 achievements I'd complain about: no damage King K Rool, and that ridiculous no kills in Shokwave Showdown, it took me 6 hours to do it......

Otherwise this set is great! I for one had a real blast mastering this :3
Primofaro 6 May 2023 03:57
Still great set soo far, but I can't seem to get Floor is Lava to pop. I've tried different routes and successfully went from the house to the top of the lab many times but nothing.
SleeplessSP 6 May 2023 04:00
Bosses aren't marked as missable, can I use the boss replay mode in extras?
GoddessBow 6 May 2023 04:01
That one is tricky, you need to use Tiny and fly from tree to tree then to the ledge above Cranky's house

That's how I got it, I also had to use RA Lib as emulator and Mupen as core~
GoddessBow 6 May 2023 04:02
I have no idea Sleepless :p I best them all in story mode as they appeared ^^"
Jordey 4 Jul 2023 23:51
Can you turn in all the blueprints at the end of the game in one go? I was curious if I would still get the achievements if I went that route.
GoddessBow 5 Jul 2023 00:58
Yes that should work, a friend of mine did that and got them all (:
Jordey 5 Jul 2023 01:58
Thank you for the response. I was worried that it would not work.
MGNS8M 7 Aug 2023 16:49
Can't get this to work at all in RAP64 1.0, even though it works perfectly fine in 0.60. For some reason the out-of-bounds clip-prevention and/or some kind of copy-protection security is causing you to death-warp back to the room's entrance if you even barely touch the side of any terrain/3D-object for too long. Sometimes even touching the wall of a room-exit will prevent the room-exit from working, and just warp you back to the same room's entry point.
hbROBO 18 Aug 2023 17:57
It feels weird that the tag anywhere patch would be linked here. it's basically adding cheats to the game, which kinda goes against the entire RA ethos
dericobanjo 31 Aug 2023 22:59
I have same opinion than hbROBO even that I still did not played the game, lol, but I'll play the normal version, not the hack.

"This list is awful, this should've been part of a bonus set, not the main one. I was really eager to start this, but after looking at the first 9 missable achievements, yeah, it's a no for me"... Agree with this commentary, this game is one of the best ever made, but this "m" achieves is so... :/
solidification 18 Sep 2023 12:06
For anyone wondering, you can do the no damage boss runs in the boss battle after you get 10 banana fairies.
GoddessBow 18 Sep 2023 12:09
That's cool! Didn't know @Solidification
