Line 54:
* [[Animated Adaptation]]: [[wikipedia:Donkey Kong Country (TV series)|The French CGI cartoon Donkey Kong Country.]]
* [[Animals Not to Scale]]: Nobody really cares since the games aren't meant to be taken seriously, but there are countless cases of animals that are much bigger than their real life counterparts, most notably giant insects, beavers and birds, and many that are much smaller, probably the most notable case being Rambi, who is about the same size as Donkey Kong, where real rhinos are the size of cars.
* [[Artistic License: Biology]]: Ellie the Elephant in DKC3. Able to make truly impressive leaps and bounds.. Despite the fact that elephants, famously, ''are not able to jump''.
** Apes can't swim, either.
*** Especially not in icy or polluted water.
Line 238:
** However, in ''DKC2'' and ''DKC3'', you can have your partner mount your shoulders by tapping the A button and throw him/her at the banana hovering at the bottomless pit. Don't worry. He/she'll come back.
* [[Sealed Good in a Can]]
* [[Second Verse Curse]]: Most versions and remixes of the [[Bootstrapped Theme]], "DK Island Swing," leave out the second, "slower" part entirely, in favor of the more upbeat opening. It's part of the tune, though. Just listen to the ''[[Super Smash Bros.]].'' versions
** Averted in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'': Not only is the second half present in the remix of Island Swing, it also gets a remix of its own.
* [[Sequel Snark]]: In the GBA remake, after the Kongs jump overboard and King K. Rool sails off, [[Meta Guy|Cranky]] remarks, "Call that an ending? Looks like a cheap stunt setting up the story for the sequel!" In the Hero Mode ending, he tells Diddy, "You have really surpassed yourself! Who knows? Maybe you'll make the sequel."
