Japanese title?
Was DKC or Killer Instinct first? I thought DKC was. I particularly remember reading how Rares purchase of expensive SGI workstation(s) to create the CGI used for the sprites was a risky manouvere, that would have meant Rares financial death if the game was a flop.--DooMDrat 11:29, Apr 12, 2005 (UTC)
According to http://www.planetnintendo.com/nindb/fran/index.shtml, dkc came out a year before killer instinct on SNES Rmrfstar 23:49, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Thanks, editing article accordingly.--DooMDrat 09:21, Apr 14, 2005 (UTC)
Made a page called DK Jamz mostly using the information on this page. How should we link it to this article? -- Sylph

[edit] Gameboy differences
Do we need every pointless and stupid little detail about the differences in the versions?--Drat (Talk) 11:50, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
- No, Wikipedia is not an faq so I'm removing it. Masken 19:00, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Game's influence
Shouldn't there be more about how influental this game was? After all, this was an incredibly well selling game that 'saved the SNES.' It seems kind of odd that there is no mention of that here.
[edit] Speed runs
I'm not sure we need the speed run records section in the article. If there's an external page I suppose it could be linked to in External Links Pelago 19:25, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Reference tag
I just removed the ref tag as this article is well-sourced. Kukini 05:23, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Competition version?
There's a picture of a Donkey Kong Country Competition version in the article, but no info about it. Does anyone know anything about this? Ace of Sevens 15:50, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
What was the competition cartridge all about anyway? What makes it so different from the original game? --Plainnym 14:38, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
- I found only this information "It was used for various promotions and contests at either Wal-Mart or Blockbuster Video stores."
- But I'm interested in further information too.
Here's a video that I found on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XASdSRSsem8 TanookiMario257 18:07, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Virtual Console
Someone added some BS about Nintendo replacing the characters from DKC with characters from DKJB when it will be released on the virtual console, this is BS as there is no sources and Nintendo would not wreck the best selling SNES game like that it has been removes so please do not re add it ~Guess who i am 8:02am Saturday 26 August 2006
I say we let them add it, but demand a citation. That way we can know if it's real or not. MasterDS 22:13, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
All right then, but I still don't want people to be worried that one of the greatest SNES games would be ruined on the VC like that ~Guess who i am 9:38am Saturday 26 August 2006
- Don't worry, nobody is worried. In fact some could consider that an enhancement, since we already have DKC games released on GBA and SNES it'd be neat to have something slightly different on Wii. The gameplay would be exactly the same anyway so it's not like it's a big deal.

- Yeah it is because the characters in Donkey Kong Country are way better than the characters in Donkey Kong Jungle Beat Guess who i am 03:26, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

- Flamatory opinions have no place here. Only about 13 people in the entire world would notice the difference anyway.
-
Yeah it would be hard to notice if you removed 2 of the main characters from one of the best selling games on the SNES Guess who i am 02:59, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

- I cannot speak for this game, but I read in NGamer magazine that no Virtual Console titles will be receiving visual enhancements; ergo, games such as Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Bros. (NES) will look exactly the same as they always did. This certainly seems consistent with video footage of the Virtual Console in action, which featured the aforementioned games. Presumably Donkey Kong Country will remain the same, also. Makron1n 23:55, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

- Thank you for that information, I will sleep easier tonight with that information and my new bed Guess who i am 11:02, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] DK Coin
I'm kind of wondering why DK Coin redirects to here, DK Coins aren't even in this game. -- Lord Crayak
[edit] Flash Movie
Can Someone move the Flash movie section to a new article Called Donkey Kong 1 1/2? Look In History To Find It—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.184.46.20 (talk • contribs).
- There is no need for an article on that flash animation unless it meets the requirements of WP:WEB.--Drat (Talk) 04:15, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
WHY!!! iT'S A GOOD MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DIDN'T YOU SEE THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.184.46.20 (talk • contribs).
- Good is an opinion. The movie has to be the subject of multiple, reliable, independent non-trivial works.--Drat (Talk) 03:26, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] GBA version
The releasedate of the Japanese version of this game is December 12, 2003. I found this on the Japanese website of Nintendo. Link: http://www.nintendo.co.jp/n08/before/n2005_b01.html --Erik 10 January 2007
[edit] Levels
You may need the headline "Levels", by which they're in each location, such as "Kongo Jungle". --PJ Pete
