OCF's Donkey Kong Country Game Genie Codes

OCF's Donkey Kong Country Game Genie Codes
by Orlando C. Fernando ([email protected])
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 #.

change music effect. Will eventually black out.

WARNING: When experimenting with new codes yourself, you should keep a
good-standing game in the 2nd or 3rd save bank. Some bad combinations I've
tried in the past HAVE erased my 1st save bank! :( You were warned!
