It was previously thought that there were 976 hidden coins in Donkey Kong 64. Speedrunner Isotarge has now proven that the real total is 977, as he's discovered a hidden rainbow coin. The coin is hidden in a dirt pile, which is in turn, hidden in tall grass. You need to use a slam to unearth the coin, but you'd never know it had any chance of being hidden there due to the tall grass! Isotarge only found the coin when he was picking apart the inner-workings of the game an noticed something in the data that indicated a coin that hadn't been collected.
