I made a lot of progress in DK64 so far today. I'm nearly 30% complete.

I didn't play at all yesterday. But I suceeded with the Tiny Kong bug race fairly early this morning. I also figured out how to win the Beaver Herding mini-game earlier. While I still haven't gotten as far (in terms of stages) as I had on FO's cart, I think I've accomplished more in the early stages. I know I gave up on that Beaver game. I also found the entrance to another structure in the second stage, which gave a golden banana to each kong, and I'm pretty sure I didn't find that last time. I also have enough bananas to fight the boss in the third stage now, though I haven't tried it again yet.
I LOOOOOOVE Flying Omelette!!
