Stub?

There's a stub mark at the bottom at this article, but this article looks big enough not to be a stub. I'll remove it until further notice. --Taj The Genie 17:54, 27 January 2007 (EST)

Yeah, it's fine. 3D, stub'd.

Kingdom of Kong

Did you guys notice that little sentence on the right side of the box? Does that mean that the areas in the game are part of the "Kingdom of Kong" or something? Or is it not canonical? Stumpers! 20:38, 21 June 2007 (EDT)

I don't think it is canonical, since it has not been mentioned again. Or it could be some weird translation error. Who knows?Knife (talk) 21:44, 21 June 2007 (EDT)

Yeah, or it could have been some of Nintendo of America's promotional additions. I mean, I've never heard of it in any game. ;) Donkey Kong Island works fine right now, anyway. :) Stumpers! 00:00, 22 June 2007 (EDT)

Necky's Nutmare (GBC only) bonus areas?

Does anyone know for sure, how many bonus areas are in Necky's Nutmare (4th stage of Chimp Caverns, in the GBC version)? --TheUltimateKoopa 17:14, 18 February 2010 (EST)

References

In the "References in Other Games" section there is three Viva Piñata sections and they all say the same, yet they are three different games. Supermariofan14

Monkey/Ape

I have noticed the article seems to use "monkey" and "ape" interchangably at parts; these two words in fact refer to very different sub-orders of primates. It bugs me a little and makes the article look less professional, and may get confusing as well as Donkey Kong is an ape while Diddy Kong appears to be a monkey, so using either of those terms appears to imply that the sentence in question is talking only about Diddy or Donkey even when it's in fact referring to either (e.g. "the monkey in play" in the Gameplay section). Just seemed like something worth pointing out, especially now that the article may be featured.--vellidragon 23:44, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

I'll fix all that soon. Thanks for pointing it out. Fawfulfury65

Done. Fawfulfury65

Super Game Boy

Does the GBC version of this game have enhancements on the Super Game Boy? A Link to the Present 19:50, 15 February 2011 (EST)

Probably not because GBC games don't work on the SGB. Fawfulfury65

Yes they do but you are right probably not. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Super_Game_Boy_games (sorry if that sounded harsh) A Link to the Present 22:34, 15 February 2011 (EST)

Competition Cartridge

Is [this thing] worthy of a separate article, or would it be better off as a section on this page? --Glowsquid 19:36, 23 April 2011 (EDT)

Well, it is mainly just a remake, but we do have an article on Nintendo World Championships, so it would only be consistent to have this in its own article. Fawfulfury65

Sales Speak

I'm Paper Mario Kart and this game's sales are about 9.3 million for the original, 2.19 million for the GBC remake, and 1.92 for the GBA remake. Check out my other Sales Speaks!

DK64: Sequel or not?

Is there a reason why everyone simply refuses to acknowledge that Donkey Kong 64 is a sequel to Donkey Kong Country? Just because "Country" isn't part of the title and the gameplay's a little different doesn't mean it's not a DKC game. Super Mario World's not called Super Mario Bros. 4 (not overseas, anyway), but it's still considered the official sequel to Super Mario Bros. 3.

I know what you are all thinking: Rare could've easily called it "Donkey Kong Country 64" or just "Donkey Kong Country 4" if they wanted to confirm it was a sequel. Well, that's not necessarily the case. There's a lot of sequels in the overall Mario series with titles that don't match. Here's some examples:

Donkey Kong-->Donkey Kong Jr.-->Donkey Kong III

Super Mario World-->Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island-->Yoshi's Story

And Nintendo still flubs on consistently titling their sequels (Super Smash Bros. for Wii U/3DS, anyone?). Since DK64 came out years before Returns or Tropical Freeze were even conceived, this could have been the fourth Donkey Kong Country game when it was out. Let's not forget that DK64 seemed like the last game in that storyline until Returns was released earlier this decade, so it could've been a "grand finale" to the Kremling storyline. It could even still be DKC 4, since the later two games aren't even numbered (unlike the thing with Sonic & Knuckles and Sonic 4).

And if this argument isn't good enough for the game to "count" (even when it clearly carries on after DKC 3) as a sequel, we should at least acknowledge it and its content more widely on this Wiki, instead of pretending it doesn't exist, since I don't recall anyone at Nintendo/Rare ever saying Donkey Kong 64 was non-canon or that it wasn't an official sequel to DKC. 65.29.237.60 22:18, 4 March 2015 (EST)
