The "starburst effect" that occurs when bouncing on enemies is usually meant to expand, but in the first two Donkey Kong Country games, they were mistakenly coded to contract instead. This issue was fixed in the third game and the subsequent re-releases of all three games on the Game Boy Advance.

According to an anonymous whistelblower, the developers of the GBA remake intended to include both Eveline Novakovic's soundtrack from the SNES version and the new soundtrack by David Wise. However, space limitations on the GBA cartridge and time constraints forced the staff to solely use Wise's soundtrack.

Due to some unknown error, many US copies of the SNES version are missing the KONG letter 'G' in the level Rocket Rush. All other regions and the GBA re-release have the letter present.

When you go to Bazaar's General Store and buy a shell, you have the option to ask him about the castle in the distance. He'll tell you about it for 2 coins, but if you decline he'll tell you something much more interesting:
This is a reference to The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening in which sea shells were collectible items.
Are you sure? Some cheeky lad called Link was in just last week and he asked about the castle too. He didn't have enough coins, but he seemed such a nice fellow that I agreed to accept 500 rupees instead. After that he left... muttering about my shells being the wrong shape or something. Oh well!
This is a reference to The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening in which sea shells were collectible items.
