Line 20:
* [[Even Better Sequel]]: ''Donkey Kong Country 1'' did things with graphics that no one had seen before, but ''Donkey Kong Country 2'' streamlined that gameplay ([[That One Level|for the most part]]), fixed what minor problems there were, got much more creative and fair with the bonus stage locations, included about a half dozen [[Platform Hell]] levels and a [[Bonus Boss]] for players dedicated enough to go for [[100% Completion]], and in general made it seem less of a ''[[Super Mario World (video game)|Super Mario World]]'' clone and more of its own game.
* [[Fandom Berserk Button]]: People will often mistake Diddy and Dixie for siblings. They're supposed to be an [[Official Couple]]. This bugs fans, especially shippers.
* [[Germans Love David Hasselhoff]]:
** The Japanese love [[Surfer Dude|Funky Kong]].
* [[Goddamned Bats]]: Zingers in the first two games and Buzzes in the third.▼
** The series itself may not be a complete example because Donkey Kong originated in Japan, but the ''Donkey Kong Country'' games did very well in Japan despite their Western developers. The third game actually sold significantly more in Japan than it did overseas, probably because it was a SNES game released after the Nintendo 64, and unlike everywhere else, Japan tends to continue supporting consoles even after their successors come out.
* [[Good Bad Bugs]]: A [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xNTiJYOsOTQ glitch] in the first game's level can cause Rambi's sprites to be mistakenly replaced with a copy of the player's character with a messed-up palette. This can be combined with another glitch which causes Donkey Kong to get stuck in a certain animation while riding "himself", making the situation resemble [[Screw Yourself|something else]]...▼

** There's another glitch in ''Donkey Kong Country 2'' where you can avoid the difficult [[That One Level|Bramble Race against Screech]]. If you come up right behind Screech to where the race will not start yet, and you fly upwards (you must have both characters at this point for this to work), you will then hit the the ceiling and hurt yourself causing yourself to blink. Quickly, while you are still blinking, pass Screech and head off to the rest of the level without having to worry about doing it in good time.
** The Castle Crush glitch is one of the most infamous, scariest, and a literal [[Game Breaking Bug|Game-Breaking Bug]] to go as far as being independently mentioned in the series [[Nightmare Fuel]] page, but with so many results and odd visuals and effects upon activating it, it can also be one of the most entertaining. If you have an emulator or a Virtual Console port, go wild, just make sure to try to back up your save files, but '''do not attempt it with a real console'''.
* [[Growing the Beard]]: It was with the first game that the whole ''[[Donkey Kong]]'' series came into its own, rather than being little more than Mario's parent franchise.
* [[Hell Is That Noise]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZXXhoBa_A4U Misty Menace]. Makes a couple of already disturbing levels, such as the infamous ''Stop N Go Station'', several times worse.
