 ==References in later games==
-*''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' - This game is a follow-up to ''Donkey Kong Country 2''. Wrinkly mentions how she had given up working in a school, which was her occupation during ''Donkey Kong Country 2''. Also, many of the item sound effects and graphics in ''Donkey Kong Country 2'' are used again in this game. In the Game Boy Advance version, Swanky looks the same as he did in ''Donkey Kong Country 2''.
+*''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'' - Paintings of Kaptain K. Rool hang in sunken ships in this game.
-*''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'' - A direct semi-sequel to ''Donkey Kong Country 2'', in which most of the level names and bosses remained the same.
-*''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'' - [[Banana Coin|Banana Bunch Coin]]s, which debuted in ''Donkey Kong Country 2'', make a return. Paintings of Kaptain K. Rool hang in sunken ships in this game.
 *''[[DK: Jungle Climber]]'' - Funky's Theme in this game is a cover of the theme Funky the Main Monkey.
 *''[[WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase]]'' - The [[microgame]] [[DK Country]] is based on the game.
-*''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' - Ship levels and volcanic levels make a return as well as [[Banana Coin]]s.
+*''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'' - A bramble level returns, and is named [[Bramble Scramble (Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze)|Bramble Scramble]] after the one in ''Donkey Kong Country 2''.
-*''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'' - The enemies in this game are vikings known as Snomads, but since vikings are a type of pirate, that could be a reference to ''Donkey Kong Country 2''. Also, Dixie Kong returns as a playable character, and her gumball gun and air guitar idle animation (as well as playing a real guitar during the ending) are reminiscent of her blowing bubble gum idle animation and victory animation, respectively, from ''Donkey Kong Country 2''. A bramble level returns, and is named Bramble Scramble after the one in ''Donkey Kong Country 2''.
+*''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' - In this game, one of King K. Rool's attacks involves him using his blunderbuss and he also wears his pirate hat when using the move. Kaptain K. Rool also appears as a [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]] in this game, using his artwork from ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''. In King K. Rool's announce trailer "The Rivals", Donkey Kong's and Diddy Kong's eyes comically bulge out in horror when they witness King K. Rool knock away [[List_of_fighters_debuting_in_Super_Smash_Bros._Brawl#King_Dedede|King Dedede]] (who had posed as King K. Rool as a prank), referencing their reactions when about to face a boss in ''Donkey Kong Country 2'' (and to a lesser extent, Donkey Kong's reaction whenever Kaptain K. Rool regains consciousness and starts the next phase of the final boss battle).
