Glitches

This glitch can only be made in the Game Boy Advance remake. Donkey and Diddy need to get a place with a barrel and a Krusha. Two ways of making this glitch exist:
- Donkey Kong needs to hold the barrel and jump on the Krusha. He will not defeat the Krusha and will jump to the side. In this instant, Diddy will defeat it. DK cannot defeat a Krusha by jumping, like Diddy.
- Diddy must hold the barrel and jump on the Krusha's head. Diddy will defeat Krusha by a jump and the barrel will fall down. DK will defeat Krusha.

The player needs to go through Oil Drum Alley. Then, the Kongs should get Rambi who's in a hole by the middle gate. Then, Rambi needs to go backwards before the middle gate and the player will find a blast barrel below Rambi resting on an area. The player has to jump over the barrel area and drop Rambi with the A button. This will only work if the player lands back on the higher land with that jump. Then, the player could jump down and after some tries, DK will land on Rambi at the same time as the player lands in the barrel. This will freeze the camera, most of the time on the area where the player lands, but some of the time by the barrel. The player will now be able to run off the screen to the right and the camera won't follow the Kongs. The oil drums that exist in that area don't block the player's way and the player can keep on running until the kongs fall into the ditch where DK found Rambi. To bring the camera back to the Kongs and see all of the land DK covered, the player shall push A to get off Rambi. The camera will zoom over to the player.

Using Diddy Kong, the player should go to a level with a Grey Krusha. Once there, The player must stand on front of him, looking at the same direction as the enemy. When the Krusha attacks Diddy, the attack block animation plays. Diddy jumps on the front of the Krusha and moves back.

First, the player has to go to Croctopus Chase. Then, after the parts where the Kongs are carried from one place to another by the blast barrels, the Kongs will have to find Enguarde and get on him. Then the player has to go back through the level until the Kongs reach the last blast barrel that the apes were shot from. By simply getting in that barrel and getting fired out, the player can perform four different glitches:
- The first of these is that Diddy will be walking, not swimming, behind Donkey Kong. The player can get off Enguarde and swim to his side. Then the player must press select. If done correctly, the camera will freeze and Diddy alone will be able to walk around as if it were a land level.
- While still frozen, the player could jump back on Enguarde. Diddy should turn into a greenish-blue color and hover in mid-air. This allows the player to control Enguarde by himself, which results in the Kongs being left behind if the player continues on through the level.
- While on Enguarde, the player can press the Y button and then the A button once quickly after. Enguarde should turn into another greenish-blue Diddy that the player will be able to control. If the player touches the other floating Diddy it will turn the player back into Enguarde.
- While using Enguarde once again, the player needs to press the A button quickly and repeatedly; it will permanently turn him into a reddish color with either DK or Diddy following behind.
As this new red Enguarde, the player has to have Diddy follow behind him (if Donkey is behind the player, the player will have to press the A button twice and the Kongs should switch). Then, the player has to press the Y button and the player then has to press the A button. This results in Enguarde transforming into an oddly colored Donkey Kong that hovers in the air while the player is left controlling the Kongs once again.
The player can redo this with DK following behind the player while the player is controlling Enguarde, and a normally colored Diddy should be hovering in the air instead of the oddly colored Donkey Kong.

This glitch only works in the Super Nintendo version of the level Millstone Mayhem. Using Diddy Kong, go right and he will soon encounter a Krusha. The Kongs should lead Krusha to the beginning of the level into the area they entered the level in. Then, they should jump on Krusha as he walks to the left wall of the ditch and hold down right on the d-pad. If done right, Diddy Kong will bouce off Krusha continuously, causing him to get infinite lives.

Using Diddy Kong, this glitch only works with levels with the enemy Klump. Diddy Kong must pick up a barrel, making sure he doesn't let go of it. When he comes across a Klump, he must jump on its head. The barrel will be destroyed, and Klump will be knocked back. But instead, Klump will fall off the screen as if Donkey Kong jumped on his head. This glitch also works with Krusha.

The player has to enter a bonus level that has an animal crate, get on that animal, leave, and then reenter the bonus level. Then, he or she has to get on the animal buddy inside the bonus level again, but then get off it and leave. When the player comes out, he or she will be on Rambi's back. However, entering another bonus level will cause Rambi to disappear. The glitch is found only on the following levels: Bouncy Bonanza, Orang-utan Gang, and Misty Mine.
This glitch only works on the SNES version of the game, and can't be executed at all on the Virtual Console port (The player will only get back the animal buddy he or she were riding on upon entering the bonus level).

In Mine Cart Carnage, if a player takes damage and then lands directly on top of an overturned mine cart while still maintaining post-damage invincibility, the overturned mine cart will transform into a moving empty cart in front of them. If this empty cart falls off or hits an enemy, however, the player will lose a life.

The player must play as Diddy Kong with Donkey Kong following him. They must grab the first DK Barrel, and run with it without hitting any enemies. Then, the player must jump over the first gap, and hit the wall, causing them to enter into the bonus level with the neckies. Diddy must run to the first Necky and damage himself. He gets frozen, and Donkey Kong must jump onto the same Necky and fall into the abyss. The player will lose a life. He must re-enter the level, but instead of being in Temple Tempest, Donkey Kong will be thrown out of his house in Jungle Hijinxs. As soon as you're done completing the first level, you return back to the Vine Valley world with the Temperate Tempest level left unfinished. It might take you several tries in order to perform the glitch. Template:BoxTop
