[edit] Plot
Like many games in the platform genre, the plot is not necessarily an integral part of the game, and therefore, much of it isn't discussed throughout the game itself.
I removed this part of the plot section, as it was unnecessary and too subjective for Wiki quality standards.

[edit] Known in Japan as...
The title does not need this, this title was not created in Japan, thus it doesn't need this subtext next to it. I'm moving it to the triva section...why on earth would someone reference that in the begining...
[edit] "Die or Beat a Board"
Could someone explain this?
- Die or Beat a board is a multiplayer mode in platform games where two players alternate turns whenever the other dies. This was edited out anyways as it was not the first game to include this feature. Xtremeblur 05:55, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] removing rubbish
I'm removing the list of changes made in the game boy-ports, the world descriptions and the credits. Wikipedia isn't a FAQ neither is it an instruction manual. Film articles don’t contain massive lists of credits, so why should video game dittos? Masken 19:12, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
- I re removed it after it was added again Guess who i am 13:00, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
- The instruction manual part was understandable, but I added the list of differences found in the GBA port back on October 13. This article is on the game itself, and the GBA version includes many differences - some fairly significant - from the original SNES version. Those changes are definitely worth being noted, as the two versions are both popular (and a person reading this article may have one but not the other). Xtremeblur 06:00, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
Speaking of removals, why was the information about the Famicom version removed? If it had to do with the screenshots, the screenshots should've been the only content removed.-Mega Man 5 4 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Start-Class rating
When was the last time this article was rated? I have made many various changes, including four large updates, over the past couple of months or so in an attempt to make it better. It's nothing too major, but it's definitely drastically different from when I first saw the article. Hopefully these changes get recognized, but I will try and continue with my efforts no matter.

[edit] Note on bramble stages in the Trivia section
There is an item in the Trivia section that starts with "In all the bramble stages, each stage had a different color of the setting...." Why is this item even necessary? In all the DKC games (heck, in many video games in general), similar-looking levels are often colored differently. This should be removed... TanookiMario257 23:24, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Title Screen
It appears that the Title Screenshot (as well as the screenshot below it) were taken with a below-average emulator; it's obvious when you look at the pictures that the graphics looked better on the SNES. Also, the Title Screen has "Super" written above Donkey Kong 2: Diddy's Kong Quest, which implies that the game was an edited ROM instead of an original. Could these pictures be replaced with "correct" screenshots? 71.199.25.62 23:08, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
It was a pirate game for the NES, not a rom hack. In said game, there are about four levels, the game itself, along with the 'Donkey Kong Country 4' pirate game, which was made out of DKC 1, kinda scares me. Lesser Shadow (talk) 19:13, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
Super Donkey Kong is DKC's Japanese name, so it's a Japanese ROM. Digifiend (talk) 13:14, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Removed soundtrack link
Congratulations, Captain Assface.
[edit] Virtual Boy?
Is there a source for the info that it was originally to be released for the Virtual Boy? --Evildevil (talk) 19:36, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Donkey Kong Country 2 Shot 1.png
Image:Donkey Kong Country 2 Shot 1.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Any idea wtf this sentence is supposed to be?
"If you trespass Link on the coin collecting, his green vest is going to make part from the trash can too." Apofisu (talk) 15:42, 18 January 2008 (UTC) The DK Coins. Trespass should just have said pass. Digifiend (talk) 13:15, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
