OCF's Donkey Kong Country Game Genie Codes by Orlando C. Fernando (ocfernan@mailbox.syr.edu) SNES Version 2.0 Last Updated: 2/12/95 Codes have been tested under the 1 player mode. Additional "safe" effects may be possible. Question marks indicate possible other stages where the code may take effect. Names in brackets indicate a bulleted commentary or "side note" from that person. "CPU Partner" refers to the Kong you are not controlling when you have two kongs on screen. These codes primarily work with the alternate (or some call "bad") version of the game since I have derived these codes on an alternate version (the explanation has been mentioned in the Galoob published codes for DKC, as well as from people over the INTERNET video game newsgroups). Some codes MAY work on both versions, which you may want to investigate. Can someone test these codes out on an original version and try to derive code equivalents if it is not compatible? This is not one easy game to derive codes for, so take advantage of these codes as you struggle or enjoy this well-acclaimed platform game! SINCE LAST VERSION (1.0): -29 new functional codes added (indicated by ! beside code). -new findings on Codes 39 and 51. -"barrel-riding" expression changed to "keg-riding". -codes definitely functioning with both game versions indicated by #.
