DKC Atlas Forum

Probably... I recall reading that when I used to read a bunch of DKC3 reviews back when the game first game out. I wouldn't know for myself, though, as I don't play Sonic...

OK, so this is something that has bugged me for about a decade now. In all three DKL games, the sprites blur occasionally when there's any kind of lag, at least when I play it on any of my handhelds. That is, at times, random pixels disappear or are in the wrong spots. It seems to be especially bad ...

So I just got a used Super Game Boy at some store that sells used video game stuff. I like it, but the sound is slightly sharp, but the DKL games run better on it than on anything else. And I have a lot of other games that take advantage of it too... Yeah, I'm random, I know, so I'll just be quiet n...

I might as well post my team... Typhlosion - Lv. 53 (I told you all that I would choose Cyndaquil!) Nidoqueen - Lv. 51 Starmie - Lv. 52 Dodrio - Lv. 51 Tauros - Lv. 53 Ampharos - Lv. 52 Yep. I beat the Elite Four too, and now I'm busy training some Pokémon for the Battle Frontier (though I sometimes...

What annoys me is that, it's much brighter in the GBA version WITHOUT hitting Gleamin' Bream than it is in the SNES version AFTER hitting Gleamin' Bream. Nice job, Rareware. http://i42.tinypic.com/15nvl2a.jpg http://i44.tinypic.com/deb6g3.jpg http://i44.tinypic.com/2mpyl8j.jpg http://i41.tinypic.com...

Yeah... I knew this a long time ago when I was bored...

I usually used Cyndaquil in the original games... he was the best for Jasmine (the Steel-type gym leader) and its evolutions can learn ThunderPunch, which is good for Water types. He was also good for Bugsy, not that he was that hard... Chikorita was never good for any of the Johto gyms, and back th...

Wow, I was never expecting anybody to bump this ancient topic! Anyway, I'm curious... have you even heard of these games before reading this topic? You should try both games, they're excellent (and among the most underrated games I've ever played in my life). Oh, and there are some English patches f...

From looking at that link that NES Boy posted, I can't find any mention of Cat O' Nine Tails or Kutlass at all. The only enemy that it seems to erroneously mention is Kaboom, in the TNT Barrels section on Page 16. Oh, and I noticed another error from looking on that page. On Page 6, it says that you...

Well, look at what I found... a black Wii and Wiimote are coming to the U.S. after all. http://www.gamespot.com/news/6233179.html It was only a matter of time. If I didn't already have a white Wii, I would most definitely go after the much better looking black one... (like I said before, white as a ...

I've been looking forward to this game ever since I've heard of it. G/S/C were among my favorite games, so it's nice to see them on the DS again, with improvements made since they were originally released. It's kinda annoying that the English language version takes many months to be translated, but ...

I've played all three Donkey Kong Land games on a Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, Game Boy Advance SP, and Game Boy Player, and they all worked fine, so I can rule out the possibility of that. I don't have any monochrome Game Boy, though, but I doubt the three DKL games would have problems on a mo...

Well, it seems that at some point, the file got deleted, just as I predicted it would. I needed to improve the quality anyways, so I ripped the songs from scratch. This time, I used VBA-M instead of a fork of VBA 1.8.0 to rip the songs, since VBA-M has better sound with GB/GBC games (and both of the...

When I first got DKL2 and read the manual ← new link! , I noticed that there were quite a few errors in it. It seems that Rareware copied DKC2's manual and didn't put much effort into proofreading it. (And the funny thing is that I got DKL2 long before DKC2, so I remember being confused at some of t...

Wow... you're right. Why wouldn't they release a black Wii in America? For years, there have been only white Wiis, and that's the most boring color! I saw a picture of the black one, and it looks so shiny! And an improved Classic Controller? I'd take that, considering the one they have now has unres...

So I was playing the Japanese version of this game (as well as DKL2, more on this below) to see if there were any gameplay differences at all. While I hardly found any gameplay differences, I noticed that a few enemies in the cast list were different. Even though the Japanese version of DKC2 has the...

So I was playing the Japanese 1.1 version of DKC2, and I found an obvious difference. In Kong Kollege, after saving for the first time, it only costs one Banana Coin instead of two, which is what it is in American versions (and possibly others, I haven't bothered to check). Please note that I haven'...

All right, I've been trying to figure out how to hack the color palette in the bonus stage screens. I tried everything I could think of, but nothing has worked. First, I tried the obvious and searched for part of the color palette with a hex editor. For example, part of Kiddy's palette in the bonus ...

I've seen some sites with the DKL soundtrack before, all with the same names like "Snowy Pig Wings" or "Spinning Diddy Coin." This doesn't really sound like it's official, plus the fact that there would be an official DKL soundtrack but not DKL2 or DKL3 is also bizarre. So are th...

In the SNES version (no idea about the GBA version), losing an animal friend by crossing a sign counts as defeating an enemy. This is useful in Bash the Baddies style bonus stages with an animal friend and a No Animal Sign at the end. In these stages, you can miss one enemy and you can still get the...

Does anybody else have problems hitting Swoopies in Swoopy Salvo? I certainly do. I can very rarely defeat one with an egg. About 95% of the time, the egg just phases the Swoopy, and I get hit because of it. I have to hit right on the beak to defeat it. That means I have to aim from high up, and of ...

I probably posted this a bit late depending on your time zone, but what the hell. Tetris was first around in June 6, 1984, so now it is 25 years old! Who knew time would fly so fast? And who knew that a game with only seven different blocks, no plot, and no characters would be so addicting? Well, it...

Kiddy Kong is only called Dinky Kong (ディンキーコング) in the Japanese version, just like in the Japanese version of DKC3. Indeed, the Japanese version of DKL3 is titled "Donkey Kong GB: Dinky Kong & Dixie Kong" (ドンキーコングGB ディンキーコング&ディクシーコング).

As for why they changed it, I have no idea...

Hey did you ever look into the DKC2 Fiery Furnace Bonus Glitch (where you can go below the screen in some versions) and Kiddy's green clothes in the bonus screen if you do the COLOR code? It's been, like, 6 months since I posted those...

Rare sometimes reuses music from one game in another, even if they are from different series. A good example of this is the boss music from Donkey Kong Land. I found out that Rare remixed this music in the N64 game Blast Corps. (I didn't find this out myself, though, but I probably would have if I o...

Guess what... There seem to be at least two unused songs in Donkey Kong Land! As if the unused Rocket Run theme in Donkey Kong Land 3 isn't enough. These two, though, are original, and aren't in any other game. And I found them straight off of Graeme Norgate's website. If you want to find them, here...

This is something that's been bugging me for a while, because I see these names used interchangeably. Which one is it? I would like to know once and for all what this music is called.

Yeah, I used the map viewer and kept using Alt+Print Screen. I also hacked the level starting points in the ROM to be able to get to those inaccessible places (like lots of solid space).

If there is, I don't know about it. It would be convenient for ripping maps though.

^Yep, that's what I was thinking of. XD And the Game Boy version is yellow. I think the GBC version is clear because GBC games are always either transparent or translucent. Still, couldn't they have made a yellow translucent one? A lot of Pokémon games were translucent and still had uniquely colored...

Someone who has every Rareware game since the first DKC for SNES. Notice anything interesting here?

It's hard to tell what it looks like from those screenshots because the weird color palette blends into the background. Does it look anything like the Kopter death sprite in DKL3?

LOL, it's not really unreachable, it just looks that way because I haven't added in the sprites yet. You can get there with an invisible blast barrel in the top-right corner in the regular area. This "unreachable" area has lots of bananas, Bear Coins, and I think an invisible balloon. And ...

I got the layout of the Seabed Shanty map done. I haven't gotten any of the sprites in, though. I'll do that later. http://img244.imageshack.us/img244/2998/dkl312ud3.th.png To view it, click on it once to load the page with the image, then click on the image on the new page a second time to see it f...

Yay, you added the info here! And you're welcome! You helped too though. :) Anyway, there's something important to mention about the music. After the first time you enter a level, the game sets a flag so that if you enter a level again, it adds $14 to the music byte (e.g. $00 -> $14, $01 -> $15, $02...

I found it in the ROM! It's complicated but I'll post how I found it shortly. Meanwhile, you can listen to this (unfortunately, the quality is a bit butchered, but it still sounds awesome anyway): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Ac8Ru3u91w&feature=PlayList&p=812C699F1CB84D6D&index=5&...

Emulation problem. Funnily enough, the problem isn't limited to VisualBoyAdvance; I also saw the problem in a crappy Java-based emulator called JavaBoy. Anyway, if you use VisualBoyAdvance-M, it fixes this problem.

Yeah, I know what you mean. But for some reason, I still get amusement out of this. Plus, every time I do the trick with Krusha, I always inevitably lose Diddy Kong.

There's a trick that I discovered in Manic Mincers where you can get extra lives using Klaptraps. I first accidentally discovered this trick on the GBC version, and found that it also works on the SNES version as well. It probably also works on the GBA version as well, though I haven't tried it. Any...

Looks nice! Dixie looks awesome, and Diddy looks good too. Diddy could use a bit more work, though, particularly on the browns. But nice job anyways! I'll try it out!

The newest one is 1.51. And try pressing 9 while you're playing to see if that fixes it.

If you're using Snes9x, try hitting one of the number keys. I think it's either 8, 9, or 0...

And here's the old one:



Oh god that was awesome. I miss that logo.

Are you by any chance playing on an emulator? If not, then one of the layers somehow got messed up probably...

My cousin has this port. I noticed a lot of these things too. But there's one thing you forgot to mention... the other Kong is in a tiny little barrel on the bottom left corner on the screen. :| I didn't mention that because I thought that was the least of the problems. I guess I don't really notic...

They really were biting off more than they could chew when creating the GBC port of Donkey Kong Country. I remember being quite excited about it when I first realised the full DKC adventure was going portable - but the physics alone scared me off after just a couple of levels. It was really painful...

Finally, someone made a TAS of a DKL game! I think someone (maybe even you) made one on TASvideos.org, though. Nice job and keep it up! I just want to mention a few things, though (coming from someone who has played all three DKL games a lot in real time): - I think you can go faster with Rattly. Ra...

I've played the GBC version of DKC before, and I have to say it's my least favorite version. Even the GBA version, with its downgraded music, over-brightened graphics, and different maps, was better than the GBC version. There are a number of things I didn't like about it, which I'll explain. The fi...

I thought the glitch only worked in the American version of the game. Because I have the American version and it works. And Kiddy14, you told me you have the European version and it DIDN'T work. I also tried it on the Japanese version to see if it worked there, and it didn't. Anyway, that raises a q...

Let me guess, you're at Sky High Caper, the second cloud level, with the lifts that you can control by jumping on them?
