Note: The console's RAM is mostly random on boot and can result in a false positive for the Stack Test and RAM Tests. The Japanese version instead features a much more plain looking screen, similar to ones seen in other first-party SNES titles, though it does feature a unique font. The international versions fittingly use the background from the Game Over screen with Diddy and Dixie in jail, with the message displayed in the game's regular 8x8 font.

Similar programming is also present in the next game and Killer Instinct.įailing any of the below tests (except the Checksum Verification and Reset Vector Verification) will display the above unauthorized device message on bootup. The game contains a much more thorough set of anti-piracy tests than those seen in earlier SNES titles. However, it can sometimes be heard when performing the Castle Crush glitch. Thus, it usually cannot be heard during normal gameplay. It is even called in the game's code, albeit too late, and on the same channel as the sound of the barrel breaking.

At least you can escape this one with start+select in case you had already passed the stage.Īpart from the trolling parts you have to memorize and a few possible softlocks, it's an awesome game.This sound should be used when the Kongs are transforming inside an Animal Buddy Barrel. In the last stage of the special world, don't jump past the goalpost (or you'll be stuck in GBJ!). If you enter it too late, it'll shoot the monkey upwards infinitely. In the Endless Elevator stage, I had a softlock when entering the bonus barrell. In the Traumatic Tunnel stage, the game softlocked two times, because I touched the Klobbers when flying with the parrot, so make sure to kill them before riding the bird. Just beware of softlocks: It happened to me in some stages on world 6 and the Lost World. If you're a hard fan of DKC2 or you think you're good, it's highly recommended! But after dying more than fifty times in some stages, this made me feel a complete noob xD The world 6 especifically felt like I was playing a kaizo (even though I never played one myself). As a veteran DKC player, I always thought I was a good player when it comes to these games.
