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 actual game consists of a few select [[level]]s 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 [[point]]s 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 Bunch]]es, 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 five 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.

==Trivia==
*The competition cartridge is very similar in concept and execution to the {{wp|Star Fox (1993 video game)#Competition version|''Star Fox: Super Weekend'' cartridge}}, another video game competition variant that has become a valuable collector item.
*Most of the game data is present on the ROM from the full game except for the coding for bosses and the world maps.
