DONKEY KONG COUNTRY (snes)

checked-part =>There is a possible 101% completion rate<= =>An exclamation point after a level name signifies completion<= =>Exit Completed Levels: Pause and press [SELECT]. =>Sound Test: Go to the Game Select screen and highlight the Erase Game option. Press D A [R] B Y D A Y. Press [SELECT] to change the music playing. =>Practice Bonus Games: Turn on the SNES and before the Game Select screen appears, press D Y D D Y. =>DYDDY Continue: If you have but one life left, enter a level you have previously beaten, then die. The Game Over screen will appear; press any button to return to the opening screen (Cranky Kong). Now, press D Y D D Y to enter the Bonus Game practice cave. Play Bonus Games until you have earned as many lives as you wish, then press [START] to pause the game and press [SELECT]. You will return to the area of the game in which you had been killed. =>50 Lives: To place 50 lives in any active file, highlight ERASE GAME on the Game Select screen, then press B A [R] [R] A [L] (i.e. BARRAL). Now, begin any game with 50 lives in reserve. ->Mario-Style 99 Lives: Enter the Maniac Mincers stage, then find a Krusha who is stuck in a whole. Have Diddy bounce on him repeatedly to earn lives. =>Bad Buddy A: Normally, while playing a Team game, the inactive character cannot play until tagged by the other player. However, if you go to the Game Select screen, highlight ERASE GAME, press B A D B U D D Y A, then start a two-player game, the inactive character can press [SELECT] at any time to take over. =>Easy 1-Up: When you begin the game and boom out of DK's hut, reenter it to collect a red 1-up balloon. ->Warp: While walking between Coral Capers and Funky's Flights in the Kongo Jungle, tap B quickly and repeatedly to warp to Orang-Utan Gang in Vine Valley. Keep trying until you get the code to work. ->Unverified Warps: Press B+Y+U+R when walking through the bends in the first world map. A similar trick is noted above, so this MAY work. ->Oil Drum Alley Bonus: The second bonus area in Oil Drum Alley contains its own bonus area, but reaching it is difficult. When inside the bonus game containing the item barrels, stop all three on the single banana and a barrel will appear. Using Diddy, pick up the barrel and jump up and right so that the wall stops you from any further movement and you slide down it. When you hit the ground, Diddy's barrel will automatically smash the wall open and you will walk right into the hidden bonus area. You can't reach this area by tossing the barrel at the wall, for that would end the current bonus area before you could reach the door. ->Flights: In Mine Cart Madness, reach the half-way point and then die. When you reenter the level, hold Y+B right after you fall from the barrel but before you enter the cart. You will now be able to fly through the level, but you can't complete it unless you land in the mine cart. * Run Away Railroad Glitch: With both Kongs in a mine cart, crash into the first broken cart. Quickly tap B and Y until Kong starts hopping in the air; keep him hopping with the buttons. ->Rambi Bug: In Bouncy Bonanza, enter the cave where you find Winky. Hop onto Winky and exit the cave, the reenter the cave without Winky. Inside, hop on Winky, the hop off and exit the cave without him. You should find yourself falling down the passage atop Rambi. ->Double Control: Enter Oil Drum Alley, hit the midway barrel, then exit the stage. Reenter the level and proceed left until you reach the blast barrel that would normally shoot you up to the tall platform. Choose Donkey as you character, but make sure you have Diddy running behind you. Stand on the edge of the platform but don't touch the barrel; turn left so that Diddy is standing inside the barrel. Quickly switch your characters twice; if you time the switching just right, both Kongs will blast out of the barrel with about 1 second between them. Hold R so that they fly over the platform without falling to their deaths. You will now be able to control both Kongs simultaneously; that is, Diddy will perfectly mimic Donkey's actions. Diddy can now kill enemies, yet remain invincible. If either Kong falls into a pit, both will die. NOTE: Diddy is faster than Donkey, so if you need to have Donkey catch up, make them squat, press B for a hand slap and hold diagonally downwards; Donkey will stay still and Diddy will cartwheel towards whatever direction you wish. Also, this code can be done in other levels where such a barrel situation is possible. Finally, if you swap characters or get hit, you will have to repeat the trick. ->Super-Rambi: After doing the Double Control trick listed above, continue through the level until you find a Rambi crate. Try to keep Diddy up away from the small pit where the crate is located, then have Donkey jump onto Rambi, bounce out via the tire and move right. If Diddy gets trapped in the pit, press A to send Rambi to him, then have Rambi jump and have Diddy leap off of him at the height of the jump. Now one character has Rambi, and the other doesn't. Hold down diagonally and Rambi will stay still while the other character moves. You are now ready to take Rambi to other levels. With Donkey on Rambi, let Diddy drop into a pit and die while Donkey remains safe. You will lose one life and exit the level. Enter any level with animal buddy crates inside, and you will start with Donkey on Rambi. If you want to have Diddy ride Rambi, have Donkey fall into the pit instead while Diddy rides on Rambi. Start in any animal buddy level, reach a bonus area, and switch to Donkey before you enter. When you exit, Diddy will be on Rambi. For Diddy to ride Rambi in a water stage, first make sure you know what animal medallion is in that stage, then collect two of the medallions before you begin this entire trick. After getting Diddy on Rambi and having Donkey die as normal, enter the water level. Find the 3rd medallion and switch to Donkey right before you grab it. When you finish the bonus stage, hold D+R until you reappear, lest you become stuck in the scenery. Other neat tricks that can be done involve letting both Kongs leap onto Rambi simultaneously - two Rambis. Or, try the cheat that lets you have Diddy on Rambi. After killing Donkey and beginning a new level, press [SELECT] to switch players rather than going to a bonus room - weird things will happen.
