The '''''Donkey Kong Country'' Competition Cartridge''' is a cut-down competition variant of ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' manufactured for use in the ''[[Nintendo PowerFest '94]]'' game competition and later featured in the ''Blockbuster World Video Game Championships II'' event. Following the end of the later contest, copies of the Competition cartridge were sold in a [[Nintendo Power]] subscribers catalogue. Due to its rarity (the back insert states the print run was of 2,500 copies), the game has become a prized collector item. | The '''''Donkey Kong Country'' Competition Cartridge''' is a cut-down competition variant of ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' manufactured for use in the ''[[Nintendo PowerFest '94]]'' game competition and later featured in the ''Blockbuster World Video Game Championships II'' event.

The actual game consists of a few select levels from ''Donkey Kong Country'' with the addition of a point counter and a few minor tweaks to encourage scoring, the goal being to score as many points as possible. The [[DK's Tree House|tree house]] and [[Banana Hoard|banana cave]] at the start of [[Jungle Hijinxs (Donkey Kong Country)|Jungle Hijinxs]] have been disabled and all of the [[Animal Token]]s in the early levels have been replaced with [[banana]] bunches, making it impossible to reach the bonus round without the usage of a cheating device. The player is also given 50 starting [[Extra Life|Extra Lives]] instead of the 5 as in the original game. The game has a time limit of five minutes, which is displayed at the center of the screen. After the allotted time, the game freezes. | The actual game consists of a few select levels from ''Donkey Kong Country'' with the addition of a point counter and a few minor tweaks to encourage scoring, the goal being to score as many points as possible.
