Donkey Kong Country Returns/Trivia


 * Acting for Two: Donkey Kong and his grandfather Cranky Kong are both voiced by Takashi Nagasako.
 * Fan Nickname:
 * "Checkpoink" for the Tutorial Pig. His real name Professor Chops was revealed in Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze.
 * Some have taken to referring to the third boss Stu as "Kazooie's husband".
 * Name's the Same: The Piranha Plant-like enemies in this game are called Chomps, like the shark enemies from the original Donkey Kong Country (the sharks in this game are called Snaggles, and their invincible variant is called Super Snaggles).
 * Pre-Order Bonus: Players who preordered the game got a banana-shaped Wiimote holder.
 * What Could Have Been:
 * Many of the unlockable pictures in the galleries, as well as a couple of the dioramas, show scenes and enemies not actually included in the game.
 * There were going to be dinosaurs in the game. Live ones, not walking fossils like in the cliffs. Some unused concept art from Danny Richardson shows an enormous brachiosaur character, and art of the temple stage shows pterosaurs soaring in the background. A second jungle stage, creatively named "Jungle 2", was also planned but ultimately dropped.
