I like how the song starts up like the musician is winding up a music box and then it plays. Very appropriate choice for atmosphere.

I love how the haunt level is goofy and the toy level in nightmare inducing.

You can tell how good a game is/was if your still humming the songs years after you first played it, and i've never forgotten these songs.

This game is so gloomy, especially this level, I can't say if they ever intended that or is just my view on it. I've recently replayed this and had the same feeling. Amazing soundtrack, one of the best games I've ever played.

Man, I'm humming this~ I haven't heard this in YEARS. It's all coming back to me! Great music. Even better game.

Undoubtedly one of the best songs in video game history.

DK64 is my favorite game of all time. I remember that back in '99 my cousin got it the day it came out, and I distinctly remember playing it for the first time. It was only the third game I ever played (the first 2 were Zelda OOT and Mario Kart). That christmas I got an N64 with this game. It's still very dear to me, and after nine years I still play it. I have since gotten all 201 bananas... Yet to this day I play it. This is my favorite DK64 song, and favorite game song in general. Okay!

もういなりが耳から離れない

Probably my favorite song from this game with second being Mad Jack. I love the wind up sound effects and the whirling of gears you can hear in the music boxes. Not so much a frantic factory but more of a Fear Factory.

This level was such a cool concept. And the music was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO perfect for the level. Just listening to music gives images. Just like Wagner's liet motifs

I love this music!! inari ga haittenai!!!!

This song has some hidden depth to it. The winding of the music box and the whirring of its motor, they are present whenever the music box returns. Until the last arguably creepiest time it returns, as if the box came to life on its own

every time Halloween rolls around I love listening to this song multiple times

I still have my N64, and I still play this game... a lot. Anyways, to me this game will NEVER die. I believe this was my first video game now that I think about it. ^_^

great song... really well structured and immersive

Hearing this music almost makes me cry in wishing that I could go back in time and re-live the N64 days again. This game and many others were such a huge part of my childhood. And they were so good, and the music is so amazing. Why can't the games of today be like this? :( *cries*

One of my favorite locations. Would love to see these places in The Donkey Kong Series again.

This is one of my favorite levels ever. It's been built so perfectly. The soundtrack is fantastic, from the eerie music-box song, to the frantic noise of the Machine at the very bottom, to Mad Jack's psychotic laughter. The gameplay is challenging, but not difficult, with lots of alternative quests and an element of exploration. It's a brilliant mixture of creepiness and humor that really does put you in the mind of a toy escaping from the factory. 10/10.

Now tell me. Who doesn't want to play the game after hearing this? I LOVE THIS GAME!!!!!

常 盤 東 北 ラ イ ン

this is probably the best music ever to be put in a video game!

こんなんまで淫夢に巻き込まれるのほんと草

The creepiest game level as a kid was possibly the well/ Shadow Temple in OoT, followed by the haunted house in Mario 64. Ikana Valley in Majora's Mask was very scary as well.

SO. MUCH. NOSTALGIA (probably spelled it wrong) but I used to play this game nonstop when I was only like 5,6,7 years old, and I never realized it until now, 9 years later

As kiddy and light-hearted as Rare tends to be, they can whip up a damn creepy atmosphere when they need to.

this was the most creepy level on dk 64... and yet it was still my favorite!!!! that music, the robots, the living toys, the machines and the boss scared me a lot as a little kid... lol

I'm playing this again and I'm at this level! It feels good to relive my childhood again.

Still one of the best ost ever

The freakiest shit that could happen. You're chilling with friends, eating shrooms, and eventually this plays out of nowhere. So you guys just go on an adventure to go find the source. You find nothing, but then...you guys turn around and there's a clown-like thing on the corner of the ceiling with his head twisting around to the sound of the crank-toy, just staring at you guys. derp

Anyone else get a chill down their spine listening to this?

I think as a kid this was the scariest game...that wasn't meant to be scary

Ooooooh so much memories ! This game and each music, foe, level, boss..... is a part of my childhood ^^

This theme always freaked me out as a kid. Even more than the Creepy Castle theme.

brings back so many memories of my sisters and me competing to see who could find Lanky first... love this song!

finally, a proper version of the song that isn't pitched down!

Oh, I've heard this song so much....

喋る寿司桶くん好き

I love the subtle tick tock during the chorus, and the winding up for the hum of a toy for a few seconds. This theme is brilliantly composed. Even by today's standards.

I used to like watching my brother play N64 games, I would have fun watching him and was never bored. Frantic Factory was one of my favorite worlds. Ugh, I need to get a N64 ):

This song was the absolute peak in video game history 😮

This is my favorite level in the game, and it has one of my favorite songs from the game too :D

Nowerdays I occasionally have this usic in my mind..while working. and sometimes the boss theme...with Mad Jack's crazy laughter in the background.

This level creeped me out WAAAY more than Creepy Castle, which was supposed to be creepy.

あっこれかぁ！(元ネタ)

コメント欄外人多いんやろなぁと思って見たら初っ端からいなりコメントで草

いなりがいなりがいなりがいなりが

this, this is just perfect.

this song is bit scary.. dk64 is one of the greatest games in game history, like the most nintendo-rare games (Banjo Kazooie, Banjo Tooie) this game was so big with a big scope (hope this is the right word), where you can collect much items, and explore much things. today, not even one game reaches this game.. N64 had the best games in. (i havent had a SNEs or NES) great memories! ty that you put this up. :) remember me of the good old times.

Why are Factory Themes always soo GREAT!!?

goddamn this is such a creative song! the instrumentation is perfect to simulate a music box or a factory in operation. you can just see the gears in motion at :55.

Amazing music. Simply amazing. *sings along*

この曲がなぜいなりMADになるのか理解できない

man i miss this game it was my favourite game ever.....damn i think im going to buy it and play it again!!!

これ大好き

Such a beautiful piece...

This level was my favorite

This game needs a remaster for Nintendo Switch.

When I was a kid I thought the shadow of that vine made Chunky look like he has dreadlocks

1:50 I remember randomly hearing this part of the song playing in my mind during my first salvia trip when I was a teenager. The tune felt very deep.

As a kid, this level scared the living crap out of me. And the boss? I nearly ripped out all of my hair. It's so dang HAAAARD!

This was the first game I owned myself, it's not the first game I played however. I remember during the summer I'd always go over to my friend's house who's parents were also friends with mine. We'd sit in the living room with the glow of the TV illuminating the room as the roar of laughter and conversation came from our parents came in the kitchen. I remember how it felt to play this game for the first time. I wish I could go back in time and play video games with my younger self.

This whole game reminds me of a small town creepy diner I went to with weird tasting burgers and borderline creepy toys/collectibles. The lights were red, it was just me and my family and you parked on the street which was a pitch black 2 lane dusty road. I feel like I would find a portal to the DK64 world there, like in the basement or something.

The only thing missing , is a Smooth Mcgroove version of this music!!

聴いたの！？コロナ禍の中で？

Its February the 4th 2023 oo:o8 am Im standing on a hill (Deile) near a Forest in my Hometown The moon is super bright and i am scared! This song is playing in my mind!

Totally agree with you!! They always bring great memories of my childhood...along with Mario Party games. The laughs I used to share with my cousins. Yeah...i had a nice childhood ^_^

Give me just ONE other song that uses a music box "winding-up" noise to perfect the atmosphere... ♥ DK64

God, I can remember this music, the game was one of my most liked Nintendo 64 games after Majoras Mask and Banjo Kazooie

such great memories from back then

Nintendo 64 defined my early childhood, I miss it soo damn much! Too bad I was born in 1996, so I couldn't appreciate it when it first came out :(

been playing lies of p and this song fits so well with the puppets

because he is epic. both of my favorite childhood games

I got hit with a brick of nostalgia the moment I started listening to this.

my fave level in this game *.* epic music

truly beautiful.........

I won't be able to sleep tonight. Excellent music!

0:55 to 1:32 is pure awesome.

yea man u are so right. One of the best game songs ever

Both games were awesome!

favorite level! sweet music too

this game is the reason why i still keep my 64

I remember as I kid I'd look through the window at the big tower factory and zoom upward in amazement Then I completed this game 100%.. My favourite game in the world.

Nice music for a nice level!

日本語コメがほぼいなりで草

The soundtrack of this game even beats Banjo Kazzooie's / Tooie's imo. It's that good

i remember when video games were an artform. i play games for the atmosphere and experience. (i LOVE THIS GAME!)

Awesome! I'm glad that all of your favorate games are on N64. (Yes Animal crossing was a japanese N64 game)

for me, this is the best soundtrack in the history of videogames

Best D.K 64 song :3

I remember spending so much time playing that arcade game trying to get the coin, oh the frustration it brought me...

that fucking clown. Each time I fought that boss my thumb sored from so much flying

I love how they added that "krrrrr" in the background that makes it sound like a music box!

いなりがいなりが（幻聴）

Who knew a toy factory would sound utterly TERRIFYING?

おっ、どうしました(煽り)

In my opinion, probably Grant Kirkhope's most intricate song. The windup indicating a particular sound effect throughout the song is ingenious.

"Satori maiden" from Touhou SA is very similar to this song. Check it out.

gawd this brings back memories of when i was like 5 years old

Exact same situation here. Me and my friends/neighbors were obsessed with this game back in 1999/2000, but they all needed my help to beat it. :P

So did no one notice that the music of this level is LITERALLY the first notes of the theme of the very first Donkey Kong game, like the Arcade game from the 80s, just remixed? Nintendo went completely meta with this level. There is a secret room you can access playing as Donkey Kong. In there, there is a Donkey Kong arcade game that Donkey Kong can activate. You play the original Donkey Kong, as Donkey Kong, in Donkey Kong 64. And if that wasn't meta enough, one of the earliest levels in the game features the theme from Donkey Kong Country.
