A recent speed runner uncovered a new coin in DK64, bringing the total of coins in the game to 977.
It's pretty easy to overlook it, as the game is full of stuff to collect. The coin can be found in the game’s fifth level, Fungi Forest. It had long evaded collection by hiding in some tall grass. Rainbow coins are unearthed when you use a slam attack on dirt piles. There’s usually one per level. The grass in Fungi Forest hid a previously undiscovered pile that can be slammed for one more rainbow coin.
So if you speed run beat DK64, this new discovery just made your run non-valid.
