It's possible that at some point in development, at least one of the bosses was to be fought here, as indicated by an image from Rare's old website , which shows the boss "Dumb Drum" in the room. A video can be seen right here. In-game, only 2 frames of animation are used, while he actually has 8 frames dedicated to charging.
Donkey Kong Country 2 bumps the charge animation up to 5 frames, using some but not all of the unused frames from here. The following banana groups are defined by the game, but are never used in any stage.
Some objects have alternate palette data in the ROM that is unused in normal play. ROM addresses will be provided for each palette. The game uses palettes with blue and purple markings, but never this scheme. Like the Kritter and Zinger enemies, Klaptrap was meant to come in a variety of colors.
Palette address: 3C to 3CD Speaking of Kritter, he too has an unused palette, which gives him a blue-violet skin color. Notably, palettes very similar to these are used in the Game Boy Advance remake—the only difference is that the wing colors were switched. Cranky has a large number of lines that never pop up when you visit him. Cranky seems to have gone through a personality change during development, from "nice old man" to "angry old man". Some lines, especially in the ending, still seem a lot more kindly than Cranky would end up being in the sequels and external materials.
More importantly, the lines below individually identify DK and Diddy, which doesn't happen in the final game; this is odd, because Funky's lines identifying individual characters do work. For whatever reason, almost all of Cranky's level tips were removed from gameplay. The only ones that can be seen normally are from the first world, but lines exist for almost every level in the game! Some of these tips are present and used in later remakes, and Cranky gives tips in every world in the sequel.
Two more of Cranky's lines aren't referenced in the pointer table. The first is an enemy tip, while the second would be said when Cranky is finished talking. It's largely the same, and only three differences in game dialogue exist. Unfortunately, the top of the script has been overwritten, so any other differences cannot be determined. The first level of the game was originally named Jungle Japes, rather than the retail version's Jungle Hijinxs.
This alternate name would notably be used as the name of the first stage in Donkey Kong 64 , as well as the Donkey Kong stage in Super Smash Bros. Another grammar fix, the second time this mistake incorrect usage of "in", when "im" should be used is made in this script.
For some weird reason, this one was changed from the correct "die Seile" to "der Seile" plural: die Seile, singular: das Seil. In the genitive case "der Seile" is correct, but here it isn't.
The redundant "zu" was ousted. Moreover, it should be "Rambi, das Nashorn". The US version is rather confusing: there's no way to reward Rambi for its efforts like it tells you to. In the European version you just need to treat it well, which makes more sense. The US version says "I knew a punk like you wouldn't finish the job", whereas the European version says "I knew a punk like you wouldn't succeed".
Five fonts remain unused in the game. The first two of them are loaded with every level but are never actually seen; the latter three are never loaded but can be found in the ROM.
The backgrounds of most of these fonts have been left opaque for better visibility. Hexadecimal font. Fischer — recently graduated from college — on the other hand contributed seven compositions. The soundtrack was one of the very first Western game scores to receive a commercial release — on both sides of the Pacific. Occasionally, they play to genre expectations. Mostly though, Donkey Kong Country plays almost like an antithesis to the typically bouncy sound of bit platformers.
Where the Donkey Kong Country soundtrack sticks closest to conventions is in its use of vivacious swing jazz to underscore its jungle environment. While fondly remembered by many gamers, it only makes up a relatively small part of the score. A few of the moves involve both Kongs. The team up move involves Dixie or Kiddy carrying the other Kong on their shoulders, whom they can throw at another enemy or area.
The team up works differently depending on which Kong is held. Dixie cannot move fast by carrying Kiddy due to his weight. She can throw Kiddy at a crack in the ground to break it open, allowing them to enter a small area. Dixie can throw Kiddy to a wall and ride onto him to perform a Roll Attack involving both Kongs. Kiddy can carry Dixie around with ease.
He can throw Dixie farther, although she is not heavy enough to break parts of the ground. If Kiddy throws Dixie to a higher platform, both Kongs can move up to there. The game features greatly expanded map gameplay compared to the previous and following Donkey Kong Country installments.
Unlike previous games where the world maps consisted entirely of linear paths, Donkey Kong Country 3 allows players to freely move while piloting their vehicle on the overworld or in water section of the world maps. This feature allows players to go off the intended path and explore sections of the map to reveal hidden Secret caves.
The player's original vehicle, the Motor Boat can initially only access a limited portion of the overworld but as the player progress and defeat bosses, they will collect items that will upgrade the boat and allow it to reach further sections of the map.
The game also features a greater amount of sidequests. The Northern Kremisphere is inhabited by a number of friendly Brother Bears , who usually challenge the Kongs to bring them an object or complete some task. Most of the characters and enemies in the game are shown under Dixie Kong's Photo Album , which appears in the end credits after the Kongs complete Kastle Kaos.
The Animal Friends return to help the Kongs along their journey. There are a few returning Animal Friends, such as Enguarde, Squawks, and Squitter, but a few others, such as Ellie and Parry, make their debut. Every Animal Friend has their own set of abilities. Throughout their adventure, Dixie and Kiddy come across several cabins, each having a Brothers Bear. Each world has a Brothers Bear, usually no more than one. Most Brothers Bears either are facing an issue, and ask the Kongs for their help, or they help them access a Banana Bird Cave.
In the Game Boy Advance remake, every Brothers Bear and their locations have been redesigned entirely. Below is a list of the main objects, as well as a brief description on them. The game features several items that must be traded between the Brothers Bears in order for the Kongs to collect all of the Banana Birds. They are required to trade if the Kongs want to complete their adventure completely. Note that some items are earned from defeating bosses and do not need to be traded with the bears.
Some items must also be traded differently in the Game Boy Advance version. Below shows the items and descriptions on them, as well as what the Kongs should do with the objects. Various barrels appear throughout the game. They are the main objects in the Donkey Kong Country series, and they have many different purposes. Below is a list of each barrel and a brief description on them.
The game features many levels in which the Kongs must travel through to complete the game. The Kongs have to get to the end of each level, excluding the secret levels in Krematoa, in order to meet Baron K. Every level, excluding boss stages and Rocket Rush, have at least two or three Bonus Levels in them, which are hidden throughout the levels.
Note that the following table lists the levels in the original order on the SNES version of the game. Players can enter codes in both the Super Nintendo and Game Boy Advance versions of the game, resulting in gameplay changes. Players can initiate the code-entering screen by pressing the following sequence at the file selection screen:.
Some codes are permanently attached to a file if entered before starting a new game. The Kongs should go to Koindozer Klamber. They need to stay at the right of the Bazuka near the Koin.
Kiddy must throw Dixie above the Bazuka's cannon, making her hop and fall in the abyss. The player can move Dixie and after this, Kiddy will appear. In many levels, it is possible to attack Koin even with the DK Coin in front it.
The player must grab a Steel Barrel and take it to a place where Koin is not visible in the screen and throw it in Koin's direction. The player needs to move after the Steel Barrel as soon as it rolls offscreen. The Steel Barrel will be seen defeating Koin. For Donkey Kong Country 3 , Rareware 's management decided to hand the game to a new set of developers.
The game's graphics benefited from new compression techniques and advancements done to the ACM process. Ellie 's and the toboggan controls were specifically cited by Rare employee Paul Rahme as elements the team tried to improve.
At one point, Eveline Fischer 's original soundtrack was meant to be included alongside David Wise 's score. However, time and space limitations prevented it from being included. An online, Flash -powered game, Barrel-Blastapalooza , was released on the Nintendo-hosted donkeykongcountry.
The website's servers were eventually shut down along with the Flash game. There are unused sprites in the game. The game was positively received although the soundtrack received a mixed reception.

Dixie's main attribute is her ponytail, which she can use to glide across the air. Kiddy is the toddler cousin and sidekick of Dixie. He is both stronger and heavier than Dixie, and can throw her to higher areas.
The Banana Queen is the mother of the Banana Birds. She can only be encountered once Dixie and Kiddy earn the Gyrocopter and fly into the clouds, where she was sealed away by Baron K.
Funky runs a vehicle rental service, Funky's Rentals, where Dixie and Kiddy can lease a vehicle to travel around the main Northern Kremisphere map.
At first, the Kongs can only rent the Motor Boat from Funky, but as they obtain certain items, Funky uses them to construct more vehicles, allowing Dixie and Kiddy to access more worlds. In the Game Boy Advance remake, Swanky runs a virtual reality-type game for Dixie he does not allow Kiddy to participate.
Wrinkly resides in a cave, titled Wrinkly's Save Cave, where she saves the Kongs' adventure progress and provides refuge for the rescued Banana Birds. In the Game Boy Advance remake, Wrinkly only operates a single location, Wrinkly's Retreat, which is located on the main Northern Kremisphere map, and she no longer offers to save the Kongs' game progress.
Cranky Kong is the original Donkey Kong from the arcade games. Unlike the previous two games, Cranky is not a supporting character but instead rivals Dixie or Kiddy in Swanky's Sideshow. In the Game Boy Advance version, Cranky runs his own personal dojo to train himself for a new adventure. There, the Kongs can play a minigame in which Cranky must deflect curled-up Bristles that bounce toward him. If successful, the Kongs are rewarded a Banana Bird.
Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong. Donkey Kong and Diddy have the same role. During a fishing trip, they get captured and become a power source for KAOS.
Dixie and Kiddy go on an adventure to save both of them. Ellie the elephant is a new Animal Friend that replaces Rambi from the first two games. Although she is not as strong, Ellie is able to pick up barrels with her trunk and draw them toward her.
She can also use her trunk to draw in water and shoot water projectiles at enemies. Ellie is afraid of Sneeks and runs away whenever she sees one. Ellie is used in the boss fight against Squirt.
Stampede Sprint. Enguarde can defeat most underwater enemies with his pointed bill. He is encountered in most levels with a body of water, even ones that take place on a boardwalk. Enguarde is used in the boss fight against Barbos.
Poisonous Pipeline. Although usually an enemy, there is a Nibbla in Fish Food Frenzy which somewhat has the role of being an Animal Friend. Nibbla's mood is represented by its color. As Dixie and Kiddy go through the level, they must keep Nibbla fed with Kocos , otherwise it slowly becomes angrier until becoming bright red and biting the lead Kong.
Fish Food Frenzy. Parry the parallel bird is a small Animal Friend who flies directly above Dixie and Kiddy. It can defeat Booty Birds by flying into them, although any other enemy, especially Buzzes , instantly defeat Parry upon contact with it.
Squeals on Wheels. Quawks is the purple counterpart of Squawks. Unlike him, Quawks cannot spit coconuts, but is able to carry a barrel in its talons. Low-G Labyrinth. Squawks the parrot can fly the Kongs through a level.
