The original Game Boy version was never released in Japan, which instead received a [[Game Boy Color]] [[Reissue#Ports|port]] in 2000. It is not dual compatibile with original Game Boy units, as evident from the transparent cartridge it is contained in. The Game Boy Color port was never released outside of Japan. | The original Game Boy version was never released in Japan, which instead received a [[Game Boy Color]] [[Reissue#Ports|port]] in 2000.

*The game's soundtrack consists of 8-bit re-orchestrations of the music from ''Donkey Kong Country 3''. However, the tracks "Frosty Frolics" and "Pokey Pipes" do not appear; the snow and pipe levels use "Cascade Capers" and "Cavern Caprice" instead, respectively. In addition, "Rocket Run" is programmed into the game—however, it is unused and can only be accessed by [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Ac8Ru3u91w ROM hacking]. | *The game's soundtrack consists of 8-bit re-orchestrations of the music from ''Donkey Kong Country 3''.
