God this boss was a pain in the ass. A jack-in-the-box boss fight named Mad Jack.Rare makes the weirdest bosses This boss reminds me of Weldar from Banjo-Tooie,you both have to beat them in a huge factory
As a kid I never thought of moving the camera up.. I defeated him after a loooong time practicing. Playing like this is a lot easier but this boss is still so hard to get!
This boss used to be so annoying. And then I realized you can just jump back and forth between the same two platforms until he decides to stop jumping around.
What’s really strange is that this boss can be skipped over until late in the game, while Mad Jack is technically the fourth boss, the key doesn’t cause any quakes needed to get to another level
That’s right. Believe it or not, it is actually possible to get all the other boss keys before this one, meaning you can go all the way to King K. Rool’s throne room at the end of Hideout Helm without it. So you can actually have all of the other 7 keys cashed in with the Blast-O-Matic disabled. However, even after cashing in Key #8, K. Lumsy will still be stuck, so you will need to return to the factory and beat Mad Jack for Key #3 to open the cage. Only then do you get the ensuing cutscene where he trips and swats down King K. Rool after chasing him around the island.
I feel you on those nightmares! I hated playing this boss by myself in a dark room. I have no idea how I passed it, but I did and I was 6 at the time. I remember being the hardest boss to beat. never completed the final boss though.
@@ilikecurry2345 Mad Jack is actually my favorite Donkey Kong 64 villain Character he needs to be in more Donkey Kong games. While having his same design but with some differences like more scary looking.
I thought this boss, along with the King K. Rool, were some of the most creative bosses that Rare ever designed. Seriously. This boss was so hard for me growing up, but then I managed to practice, and find a strategy. Now he is one of the easiest bosses in the game :) The hardest one for me, even to this day, is Puftoss (Gloomy Galleon boss).
Fuck. I remember playing this as a kid at night and this boss was so intimidating and scary that it took me months to try to get the courage to beat him. And the game I did beat him in, I was frantically running from one place to the next scared shitless not sure what the heck to do. Watching this video makes me feel stupid as fuck LOL
I can't believe this is only the 3rd level boss and the tutorial rated it 8/10 for hardness. it actually doesn't look too hard watching a professional do it, but i'm sure it will get tedious after a while. all that flying around would be hard one the hands. i remember my thumbs getting sore from holding the joy stick after playing donkey kong too much .. the part where he turns invisible and shoots lasers would be annoying.
I always wanted a jack in the box like this one so bad when I was little.. Though I remember he looked different when I was little. He looks so different now!
Yet Weldar can only accomplish tiny hops, while Jack LEAPS and BOUNDS gracefully across the arena! Even with Weldar's ability to suck people in, shoot fire and those nut and bolt guys, Jack would avoid them, easy as pie.
It took me a year to beat this boss because about 9 years ago I only played this game during the summer because it was my cousins so by the time I got to him at the end of summer I couldn't beat him so I had to wait until the following summer to fight him again and it still took me another month to do so (too many Mario Party 2 Battles with family).
Mad jack it's mad because he feel that nobody likes him that's why he is very mad he will also have friends like anybody else! I feel sorry for Mad jack poor poor mad jack 😔😔😔😔😔❣❣❣❣❣❣❣❣❣❣ tiny had to beat him because it was her job to do it not because she want it. It was a deal with the game!
this boss really is a big step up from the first 2.. considering i died more than 20 times trying to beat the armadillo, i'm really gonna struggle on this :(
After you get back on the platforms the first time, watch Jack closely. His geometry appears to be messing up; this is most noticeable if you pass the video at 2:50 at just the right point. Plus, look at his snout at 5:30.
This guy made no sense to me at all as a then 10 year old and was quite the challenge and a step up from the two previous bosses before him. I enjoyed facing him and he's my favorite boss on the game ❤
When he turns invisible you can actually ignore the camera controls and simply rely on the acoustics to figure out where the thing is in its jumping pattern. Takes a bit of practice, but try it.
Hey, does anyone recognize the name of the song at the end? That beautiful harp-and-metalxylophone piece. I `d absolutely love to listen to the full (full-er) version
It´s impossible in the american version, the maximum that you can have are 3 watermelons, you start the game with a single watermelon and Candy sells you the other two in two different levels.
i did it with 2 melons, the first time i died at the same time he died.The game didn#t continue and i had to do this a second time,but i made it with the help of your video ;)
I remember this boss but he would not do a loop away from me he only chased me whenever space I landed on from the start and I did it with only three melons for some reason I thought I just seen four melons?
The screen...it's...it's so...bright...and...clear! I...I can see things I never saw before on other users' vids of the boss! I thought the backgroung was just complete darkness! And the overhead view! Wow! Nobody's ever done that! This looks TERRIFFIC!
Geeze I remember this game so differently. I remember the boss being a girl doll owo In any case, I was so stuck on this boss! Then I somehow lost the game :(
After watching this video I went to challenge that boss with only three melons only lost half of one and beat it under three minutes I was shocked I didn't think I could beat it that quick The boss had to work hard to get to me because I would go crossways to the next pillar.
If I were to battle against this boss, I would jump off the stage at the sight of it. O_O Just kidding. If only my friend lent me the game to me several years ago, I would've played it. But I would be kinda freaked out if I were to encounter this boss.
The real boss on this level is actually the camera, though.
Yes I can agree with this
You nailed it
Amen
This boss used to freak me out as a kid.
Freak me out AND beat my ass because I couldn't figure out the strategy lol
After watching this I could only think of one thing.... HUP, WEEEEEE
One of my favorite childhood bosses. Couldn’t stop playing this game 😭
Your FAVORITE Boss?
Wtf is wrong with you? This Boss was the worst Bullshit ever invented
As a kid I never thought of moving the camera up.. I defeated him after a loooong time practicing. Playing like this is a lot easier but this boss is still so hard to get!
Wow it's a good idea to read the comment section for tips
honestly this boss was so hard, I spent so long trying to defeat him
Right when you thought it was over... *he turns invisible.*
This boss used to be so annoying.
And then I realized you can just jump back and forth between the same two platforms until he decides to stop jumping around.
Yeah, the only problem is that you have to be very fast and not let the camera mess you up. Lol
There’s also the fact that you have to count how many times Mad Jack has jumped.
rare was so amazing back in the days, when they still worked with nintendo...
I agree, I thinks its sad that had stopped though...

I can't even remember how I beat this boss when I was a kid... but I definitely remember having nightmares of this thing.

BrawlFanMario TheBattery124 Were the Nightmares caused by how scary he is, or by how hard he is?

Everybody seems to hate this boss. It's odd, it was definitely my favourite one.
anyone else notice that when he laughs it sounds like Grunty
a duck that is crazy, that shoots lazors at you, is in a jack in the box, and has fake switches to confuse you? BEST.FREAKING.BOSS. EV-ER
This boss, if you faced them in the intended order, was actually the first to change up the attack pattern.
Undoubtedly, Weldar looks much harder than Jack, but Jack is definitely scarier.
i hate trouble defeating this boss when i was younger and he scared me
Fuck. I remember playing this as a kid at night and this boss was so intimidating and scary that it took me months to try to get the courage to beat him. And the game I did beat him in, I was frantically running from one place to the next scared shitless not sure what the heck to do. Watching this video makes me feel stupid as fuck LOL
Awesome Music, Awesome Fight, Awesome evil laugh
one my favorite Rare Game Bosses, only second to the Great mighty Poo :P
I can't believe this is only the 3rd level boss and the tutorial rated it 8/10 for hardness.

all that flying around would be hard one the hands. i remember my thumbs getting sore from holding the joy stick after playing donkey kong too much ..
the part where he turns invisible and shoots lasers would be annoying.
I remember doing this when I was younger. Best game ever and I bet most ppl my age would think its dumb. Im 13
I'd love to have one of those as a toy.
I love his laugh
I always wanted a jack in the box like this one so bad when I was little.. Though I remember he looked different when I was little. He looks so different now!

This may sound odd and I'm sorry if it does but, do you have a deviantart account? I swear I've seen you there before. Sorry if I come off as rude.

What disturbed me the most about Mad Jack is his manic laugh, reminds name of the Joker but scarier... I love the soundtrack frop
Mad jack it's mad because he feel that nobody likes him that's why he is very mad he will also have friends like anybody else! I feel sorry for Mad jack poor poor mad jack 😔😔😔😔😔❣❣❣❣❣❣❣❣❣❣ tiny had to beat him because it was her job to do it not because she want it. It was a deal with the game!
or the video is sped up a little bit, or my n64 is just slow. GREAT QUALITUY, DUDE! :D
Awww I feel sorry for mad jack now. :( but it's just a game so it's okay :)
You can upgrade your maximum health and ammo by collecting photos of fairies!
This battle was basically wwwwWHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!~
All the boss music in this game was amazing
this boss really is a big step up from the first 2.. considering i died more than 20 times trying to beat the armadillo, i'm really gonna struggle on this :(
It's like the joker and Donald duck had a kid!
LOL 0:37 hes possesed by donald duck

0:14 Wait, this was a reject? I was just a prototype? Then where is the toy monster they wanted to make?
You can tell they love the joker love that joker he influenced everybody with this s*** to be crazy insane and nuts but that's life right 😎💯🔥
When he turns invisible you can actually ignore the camera controls and simply rely on the acoustics to figure out where the thing is in its jumping pattern. Takes a bit of practice, but try it.
When I was little this scared me half to death.
tip for both you and the guy that made this try and go diagonal it helps that and match the color he is standing on to the one ur hitting
Hey, does anyone recognize the name of the song at the end? That beautiful harp-and-metalxylophone piece. I `d absolutely love to listen to the full (full-er) version
man youre probobably not gonna see this but I think this song is the banana fairy theme in donkey kong,
I am playing to on an emulator call Project 64.Which allows you to play N64 game like Banjo-Kazooie,Super Mario 64,Conker's BFD,and Donkey kong 64
When I lose: "YOU GO MAD JACK!"
When I win: MAD JACK NOOOO! I'M GOING TO KILL YOU TINY KONG!
Huh, I like Mad Jack as a character, but not that much.
To constantly hope to lose against him is to be insane.
Best.Boss.Ever.I MEAN IT!!!IT IS!!! =D
It´s impossible in the american version, the maximum that you can have are 3 watermelons, you start the game with a single watermelon and Candy sells you the other two in two different levels.
Used to have nightmares about this
The most weirdest of movements is at 3:09 onward.
The boss i actually liked to fight the most.
03:57 GET THAT BITCH MAD JACK!!!
i played this when i was 8 and it was incredibly hard then. maybe it won't be so hard now...
I like this boss. The best music in the game
This boss pissed me off.
Hey banjo in smash so can we see your old banjo tooie videos!?
Fighting him as a kid and getting wrecked I felt like Gohan when he fought Broly again fighting this boss as a grown up, still got wrecked lol
At least you got to show what happens if you hit the wrong switch!
i did it with 2 melons, the first time i died at the same time he died.The game didn#t continue and i had to do this a second time,but i made it with the help of your video ;)
double tap A, then hold when you're in the air
I forgot to add that however, I never saw any user fall.
I remember this boss but he would not do a loop away from me he only chased me whenever space I landed on from the start and I did it with only three melons for some reason I thought I just seen four melons?
*I love the soundtrack from this boss fight though, one of my favorite.
The screen...it's...it's so...bright...and...clear! I...I can see things I never saw before on other users' vids of the boss! I thought the backgroung was just complete darkness! And the overhead view! Wow! Nobody's ever done that! This looks TERRIFFIC!
I love fighting this boss. sure he was a bitch to beat, but it was fun though....
The music is epic
oh i have no idea how anymore, i could never beat him so i just went around on the normal island. i think it was somewere in the water though
This boss broke my soul.
this used to scare me when i played it at night
lol i forgot he makes that next noise when he shoots his laser
The nostalgia 😭
i remember when i was like 6 years old, this boss always used to scare the crap outta me....
Geeze I remember this game so differently. I remember the boss being a girl doll owo In any case, I was so stuck on this boss! Then I somehow lost the game :(
this boss was hard and plus the damm camera was the second boss like tf ahhhh stop moving and the jumping ahhh
I’m I the only one thinks his laugh sounds like Donald Duck? 0:38-0:42
This boss kicked my ass so much...ugh...
I always hated this boss too. Are you playing this on a emulator? And yes DK64 is the best DK game ever made. ^^
this guy im like FUUUUUUUU every time i die
I hated this boss lol
I beat this at 4. Now I’m 24 and been trying to beat this for 2 days
How do you adjust the brightness?
Memories
After watching this video I went to challenge that boss with only three melons only lost half of one and beat it under three minutes I was shocked I didn't think I could beat it that quick The boss had to work hard to get to me because I would go crossways to the next pillar.
ducksoup80
you can go Crossways ? cool
seriously? I only have 2 melons currently
Dude this boss literally gives me anxiety. Like fuck.😂😅
We're just gonna ignore the music then
The music is soooo good. The laugh adds more to it as well
Hated this boss, could never beat it as a kid 😭
This was a pretty tough boss
it looks like a cross between jack attack and donald duck
i use to have like a 10 year old girl crush on this guy
6 years late but I love your comment.
R-reverse pedophilia!? Because Tiny happens to be 10 herself and she's downright TERRIFIED of Mad Jack.
Bruh I watched this vid when I was 15....I'm 22 now.
i love that boss evrytime when i defeated i see that ur console have problems bro?
How you get 4 melons?
This boss is still difficult with the cheese
Just stay calm, it doesn't look THAT bad. Just try to avoid his attacks and move as fast as you can. That's the key.
im such an idiot i went here without having that power and i payed for it
If I were to battle against this boss, I would jump off the stage at the sight of it. O_O
Just kidding. If only my friend lent me the game to me several years ago, I would've played it. But I would be kinda freaked out if I were to encounter this boss.
was rly hard indeed
nice to see it again
was this your first playthrough? you wouldn't have pressed the wrong switch if it wasn't
wasn't mad jack going to be in Yooka Laylee
I would love to see that
