2* DummiedOut: Diddy and Dixie's mourning sprites, as well as death and victory themes made especially for the final bosses.
3* FirstAppearance: Of Dixie Kong, Wrinkly Kong and Swanky Kong.
4* SerendipityWritesThePlot: Two levels, Haunted Hall and Castle Crush, were left out of ''Donkey Kong Land II'' because of the Game Boy's technical limitations, as the system couldn't handle Kackle's sprites or the graphics for Castle Crush.
5* TakeThatTitForTat: At the end of ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'', [[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog Sonic's shoes]] and VideoGame/EarthwormJim's gun are seen next to a trash can that says, '''NO HOPERS''' when Cranky ranks Diddy alongside [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Mario, Yoshi]], and [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Link]], depending on how many DK Coins they found throughout the game. This was done in response to two separate take thats; a promotional video for the ''[[VideoGame/Sonic3AndKnuckles Sonic & Knuckles]]'' game had the line, "Can an old gorilla beat this new team? [[BlatantLies No way!]]", and the [[UsefulNotes/SegaGenesis Sega CD]] version of ''VideoGame/EarthwormJim'' had the unlockable "Worm Kong" mask, which resembled Donkey Kong with an arrow through his head, in response to the original ''VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountry'' game outselling the original ''Earthworm Jim'' game in retail sales.
6* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
7** There was an earlier version of Kackle from Haunted Hall named [[http://static2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130722063016/donkeykong/images/b/b4/Mr.x.png Mr. X]], who didn't make it to the game.
8** [[http://www.gonintendo.com/?mode=viewstory&id=187739 According to]] David Wise, Stickerbush Symphony was originally meant to be a follow up to Aquatic Ambience. However, due to the lack of true water levels, it was almost cut from the game before becoming the music for the bramble stages. He said it fit due to the SoundtrackDissonance of the NintendoHard stages.
9** Klubba was originally going to be the boss of the Lost World before being replaced by a rematch with Kaptain K. Rool. His attacks would have been similar to [[PaletteSwap Kudgel’s.]]
10** There were [[http://www.1morecastle.com/2013/06/unreleasedcancelled-virtual-boy-games/ brief plans]] for a version of the game for Platform/VirtualBoy.
11** The game has some sprites of Diddy and Dixie mourning, which have been DummiedOut. They seem to have been meant for when they lose a bonus game much like with DK and Diddy in the first game, rather than the screen freezing in the actual game.
