Trivia

  • The subtitle of the game in North America was originally "Diddy Kong's Quest", but changed to "Diddy's Kong Quest" before release.
  • When the player defeats K. Rool, Cranky tallies your Hero Coin total and compares that with the performance of other Nintendo characters. Mario, Yoshi and Link make an appearance.
  • A few more cameo appearances of non-Nintendo characters' trademark devices are that of Sonic's shoes and Earthworm Jim's gun and tights by a trash can with a sign that says "No Hopers." Also, in Cranky's cabin, you can see a poster with what appears to be a Resident Evil zombie!
  • All of Wrinkly Kong's math problems are wrong. Given the fact that this is a "Kremling College", the problems could've been completed by the more stupid of Kaptain K. Rool's ranks.
  • This game is acknowledged as the first video game to have a built-in version of the "Die or Beat a Board" method of alternating between two players.
  • Donkey Kong Country 2 was a Virtual Boy game for a short time in development
