Recompiled Donkey Kong 64 to include Krusha as a sixth playable character with Arthan

The project DK64-TagAnywhere-Krusha adds Krusha as a sixth adventure character to Donkey Kong 64, built upon Isotarge’s Tag Anywhere. Krusha is available from the start and supports swapping via the D-pad, selecting in tag barrels, firing a bazooka, and performing a vocal instrument move. The author reports that Krusha can perform standard adventure interactions such as running, climbing, and swimming, and can collect shared items like melon health and ammo. The implementation includes a six-character tag barrel and widescreen corrections for HUD and menu elements. Regression testing and implementation were developed with Codex, and the custom portrait uses AI-assisted artwork selected and adjusted by Arthan. The project is limited to USA ROMs; European and Japanese versions are not supported. Original N64 hardware remains untested, and Krusha does not support Kong-specific progression such as colored bananas or blueprints. The author notes that multiplayer and 101% completion have not been exhaustively validated.
