List of Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest pre-release and unused content

This article pertains to the beta elements of Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest.

Beta elements
The Rare Witch Project website once had previews of several upcoming enemies and characters for Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest. Among these enemies was a sinister looking character (or perhaps generic enemy) simply dubbed "Mr. X". Mr. X was a white (or perhaps skeletal) Kremling wearing a large black jacket covered in army medals, he also possessed two small hooks for hands. Despite his status as a beta element, Mr. X somehow managed to be included in the official German player's guide.

Originally, Klaptraps were used instead of Klampons, a similar enemy. Also, Web Woods, one of the game's levels, did not feature any fog, Lava Lagoon had no lava, and Mainbrace Mayhem took place during a storm. Additionally, Squawks was going to be used in Parrot Chute Panic, but was replaced by a new character, Flapper in the final version.

Diddy Kong and Dixie Kong have unused sprites.
