Unused K. Rool Victory Music in DKC2

Postby Krow111 » March 9th, 2009, 9:47 am

I've made another discovery! First, turn the code 7E00D361 OR 7E00D36B on and go to a level. Then, turn off whichever of the two previous codes you used and turn on the code 7E00D369. After that, beat K. Rool as either Diddy or Dixie to hear their respective victory themes. Take note that when you beat K. Rool as either Diddy or Dixie, you will end up in the Lava Lagoon warp. Hope you enjoy! :)

I would but it won't let me make a video without certain programs like Mencoder or something like that. Do you know where I could find them?

Umm, I'd Google the format that Mencoder gives you and the format you want it to, some something like "mencoder to mp3 converter". Then you can give it a background picture and stuff in Movie Maker.

What you're talking about is the death music. I'm talking about the victory music I discovered.

You can download Mencoder from here
To play the movie use this

So Diddy and Dixie have their own Diddy/Dixie Defeats K. Rool theme? =]

Very interesting, indeed. I think they designed the tracks just in case they would have been used, but they never did end up being used in the final version.

Does anyone want me to upload SPC Rips of these two unused tracks? I've already made some SPC dumps... (Although, I'm not sure how to obtain the K. Rool defeated music)

EDIT: Does anyone think there may be an "unspecified level finish" (where you barely tap the target) for K. Rool? At this point it seems plausible.

Can you upload them as mp3s?

Alright, but since MP3 quality == failure, here's some WAVs (about 6MB unzipped). Also Uploaded the SPCs for those who use an SPC player.

WAVs: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=RXMN770D
SPCs: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=8T7WQSO5

Thanks, Simion32! I'm not sure how, but I think it's possible to get the K. Rool regular target theme (when you hit the target and you get no prize) and also the Boss regular target theme.

Yes please, I prefer SPC files to other audio files, where possible. (especially since I have metered downloads with my wireless broadband service!)

There are links a few post up in the thread... I'm sure you were in a hurry and didn't notice. ;)

Why yes, you're absolutely correct. Thanks for that. :P

I think I figured they were two separate WAVs for two unused tracks... Although they were marked pretty clearly. :lol:

I know how!

Go to the Flying Krock battle (either normally or with Krow111's codes) and enable the code 7E001C14. Now simply die. Now you'll finally hear the K. Rool death theme in all its in-game glory!

Also note that you'll hear the game over theme (with the wrong instrumentation) when you go back to the map.
