Donkey Kong Country Cheats

Note: This glitch description refers to controls for the SNES control pad which are similar to those on the Wii Classic Controller. Your method of control (Wii Remote, for example) may require different button presses when playing this on the Virtual Console.

This bizarre glitch can be pulled off in the first level of the game. Find Rambi and ride him back to the beginning of the level. Get off Rambi and grab the metal barrel at the level opening and throw it against a wall. Then, hop on top of the barrel and ride it towards Rambi while holding Y. When you pass Rambi, press B while still holding Y. You will mount Rambi and, while holding Y, have Rambi kick the barrel. When you let go of Y you will be riding a palette-swapped, second Donkey Kong!

To access the in-game Music Test, highlight "Erase Game" on the main menu, and press Down, A, R, B ,Y, Down, A, Y, and Select. Keep in mind you must use the Classic Controller to do this.

To access Practice Bonus Rounds, press the following button combination during the intro on the Classic Controller: Down, Y, Down, Down, Y.

To start with fifty lives, highlight "Erase Game" on the main menu, and press B, A, R, R, A, L. Keep in mind you must use the Classic Controller to do this.

As soon as you begin the mine cart mission do not speed up but drop directly off the first jump and you will fall into a barrel which will then shoot you to the near end of the mission.

This works in the stage, "Mine Cart Carnage". Hit the Star Barrel in the level, and then either die or pause and press "Select". Enter the stage again. When the Star Barrel explodes, IMMEDIATELY press Y and B simultaneously. You should now be jumping in the air, keep jumping by pressing Y and B in succession. You can use this glitch to jump all the way to the end of the stage.NOTE: Do not backtrack to the beginning, as the glitch will stop functioning when you go back to the start.

Near the begining jump over the cannon and fall next to the wall underneath. You should get blasted out of a cannon and sent in a cart almost all the way to the end of the level.
