Donkey Conga (and Overkill Version)
Disclaimer: I do not own Donkey Kong or any of its associated properties. I am not part of Nintendo (yet, hopefully).
Man, this was fun to make, and not just because I made a DK Rap meme! I actually had to understand how the game calls each asset, and manipulate it to call the assets I put in instead of the default ones. Also, I finally used Piskel sprite-making from that one camp at UCLA! Here's a not-at-all-brief summary of what I changed in the game files:
(OK means it's in the Overkill Version)
-Replaced sprites:
-King Conga with Donkey Conga
-Zombie Conga Line with Lanky Conga...
...Tiny Conga, and Chunky Conga (OK)
-Blue and Red Bats with Diddy Conga and Dixie Conga (OK)
-Ghosts with Cranky Conga (OK)
-Spike Traps with King C. Rool and his boxing glove (OK)
-Speed-Up Traps with Cranky's jukebox from DKC 1 (OK)
-Floor and Walls with the appearance of the DK Rap (OK)
-Torches with the extra life balloons from the DKC series (OK)
-Bossmaster NPC with Funky Conga, since I had the sprite leftover (OK)
-Blunderbuss weapon with the Coconut Gun from DK 64 (OK)
-Replaced King Conga's splash screen with my own pixelated art (I used the unpixelated version later for the Steam Workshop pages)
-You see that text under DC in the splash screen? The text that says "Donkey Conga?" That took me WAAAAY too long to figure out how to put in. To make it work, I essentially had to trick the game into using a localization file from the "languages" folder to call my custom image instead of the default English text.
-Replaced both the music and created a custom beat rhythm
-Replaced sound effects:
-King Conga with Donkey Kong from Mario Kart Wii
-Created my own announcer clip using the voice clips already in the game
-Bats with Diddy Kong from Super Smash Bros Brawl (OK)
-Spike traps with a file already in the game (OK)
-Blunderbuss with "FIRES IN SPURTS" when it fires and "COCONUT GUN" when it reloads (OK)
-Replaced text:
-"WARNING! CONGA LINE IN PROGRESS" to "HERE WE - HERE WE - HERE WE GO"
-"KILLED BY KING CONGA" to "KILLED BY DONKEY CONGA"
-"KILLED BY CONGA LINE" to "KILLED BY DK CREW"
-"BLUNDERBUSS" to "COCONUT GUN"
