Line 16:
* [[All There in the Manual]]: If you didn't read the manual, then you probably wouldn't know that the island was owned by Timber's parents, who left it in his care when they went on vacation. So, he invites his friends for a party. Their enjoyment is derailed when an evil, intergalactic, pig wizard named Wizpig arrives at the Island and attempts to take over after he conquered his own planet's racetracks.
* [[Badass Adorable]]: Most of the cast, really, but Pipsy especially.
* [[Big
* [[Brainwashing]]: {{spoiler|This is how Wizpig is able to make the bosses race against you.}}
* [[Bubbly Clouds]]: This is where T.T.'s "Wish Races" take place in the remake.
Line 22:
* [[Cave Behind the Falls]]: There's a whole world hidden behind one of the waterfalls on the island, which is hinted at when the music changes as you get close to the waterfall.
* [[City of Adventure]]: The island.
* [[Classic Cheat Code]]: The original game offered a "password" screen; entering the right codes would do everything from [[Silliness Switch|making the characters look goofy]], making the A.I. [[Rubber Band AI|ungodly hard]], or race-affecting things like changing all the [[Power
* [[Convection Schmonvection]]: The hovercraft has no problems driving over the ''lava'' in Hot Top Volcano. Given its bright yellow appearance, maybe it's just cheese fondue?
* [[Disc One Final Boss]]: The first race against Wizpig. While it seems as if you've ousted him, and the credits roll... There's still an ''entire world'' left, and it requires you to beat every Trophy Race and T.T. Challenge, as well as all its own tracks and challenges.
Line 28:
** And the game is now the one of the few remnants of Rare's original plans for Conker (the other being his Gameboy game), before he was changed to be a [[Darker and Edgier]] parody of [[Tastes Like Diabetes|that kind of character]].
** And although she did not appear in person at all in this game, Kazooie was actually first mentioned in the game's instructions manual.
* [[
* [[Everythings Nuttier With Squirrels]]: Conker, who later went on to star in one of the [[Conkers Bad Fur Day (Video Game)|nuttiest games ever made]].
* [[
* [[Exiled From Continuity]]: Banjo and Conker for the DS remake, due to their franchises continuing on Microsoft systems. Tiptup is left intact though, likely because his presence in the Banjo series is minor enough that they didn't really care.
* [[Evil Laugh]]: Wizpig gave a whole generation of gamers [[Nightmare Fuel|nightmares]] with his boisterous guffaws and sinister chuckles.
Line 40:
* [[Ice Palace]]: The Battle course for the ice world is one. [[Exactly What It Says On the Tin|Surprise! It's called the Ice Palace!]]
** Icicle Pyramid in the US version.
* [[Infinity
* [[In Name Only]]: Only two characters (out of ten) in the original game were actually ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' related--Diddy, and Krunch the Kremling. The remake included Dixie Kong and Tiny Kong, in order to even the balance--and to replace Conker and Banjo, who had been removed for copyright reasons with [[Microsoft]]. {{spoiler|A secret sixth world was also added, which was full of DK-themed tracks--and ''finally'' used the [[Donkey Kong Country]] theme in the game.}}
* [[Jack of All Stats]]: Diddy, naturally. In the remake, Dixie joins him in this regard. Timber is also one.
Line 85:
** There's actually a shortcut part way up the mountain which makes beating him pretty easy, but Bubbler's second race is a different story.
* [[Wasted Song]]: In the original, the secret sound test had a unique song in it that wasn't used anywhere else in the game.
* [[What Could Have Been]]: The original had the original, [[What Do You Mean
* [[What Happened to The Mouse?]]: After beating Wizpig for the second time, the only character to not be seen in the following cut scene is the Octopus boss.
* [[What the Hell, Player?]]: In the DS port, try talking to Taj while you're playing as {{spoiler|Taj as well.}} He's... understandably confused by the situation.
{{quote| '''Taj''': Am I going crazy? I'm talking to myself! What can I do for... you?}}
* [[Worthy Opponent]]: By the end, Wizpig seems to regard you as such.
