==The Unknown 101% Trigger==
If your total percentage is 101 or higher, the secret ending cutscene will show up after you beat K. Rool. Even if your file has a negative number on it, it will still show up because the real percentage is above 101.

At the beginning of this video, he has 99%. Then he collects 2 GB's and ends up with 101%, although 2 GB's are worth less than 1%. Therefore, it's currently assumed that some unknown trigger in the game adds at least 1% in a 101% run.

132% file

The displayed number is a different one from the percentage computed with the items above. It's an 8 bit signed integer, which means it has no decimal places (it's not even rounded) and ranges from -128 to 127. If you happen to get 128% or more on a file, it will simply wrap down to -128 and continue counting up.

  • An integer is a whole number.
  • 8-bit means it has 2^8 (256) possible states.
  • Signed means the range is divided into positive and negative numbers.

The Unknown 101% Trigger

There's some contradiction with the total percentage. If you add the above values together, you'll get 100.4%. Also, the 13th segment of Joe Wiewel's old run shows that the last Golden Banana is not needed to get 101%. At the beginning of this video, he has 99%. Then he collects 2 GB's and ends up with 101%, although 2 GB's are worth less than 1%. Therefore, it's currently assumed that some unknown trigger in the game adds at least 1% in a 101% run.

The trigger is also in some way related to the secret ending cutscene that shows up when you beat the game with 101%.
