 *Early during the pre-production phase, it was considered to have the [[Animal Friend]]s trapped in cages, with the player being required to find a Key item to free them.<ref>https://twitter.com/Ghoulyboy/status/643931780114960384</ref>
 *[[Kevin Bayliss]] originally named the rhinoceros helper '''RhinoRider''' and then variations of '''Rhidocerus''' before settling on [[Rambi]].<ref name=Creations>DK Creations Ltd.

-*Some animal helpers that did not make the final cut included a dolphin, an owl (named '''Hooter'''<ref name=Madness/>) that would give players information, a fox that would reveal secrets, snakes that could be used as vines, a giraffe whose long neck would help the Kongs reach high areas, a flying pig,<ref>''[[Prima Games|Playing With Super Power: Nintendo Super NES Classics eGuide]]'', ''Donkey Kong Country'' Animal Buddies Tab.</ref> a Grasshopper that could be named either Hoppy or Hoppa <ref>''[[https://twitter.com/Lucoshi/status/672479393177067520]]</ref>'' and a mole named '''Miney'''.<ref name=Madness/> The giraffe was revealed to a fan that happened to ask about a giraffe in a new game in an old Scribes page on the [[Rareware]] website, where it was mentioned that he would allow Donkey Kong to crawl up his neck and reach high items and secrets. The flying pig may have been repurposed into a [[Hogwash the Flying Pig|similar-sounding enemy]] in ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]''.

 *Cut Kremlings include a magician Kremling named [[Kloak]] (potentially the enemy of the same name which later appears in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''), a statue Kremling named '''Krumble''', a green Kremling named '''Klanger''', and a robot Kremling named '''Krocbot'''.<ref name=Madness/> Graphics for a robotic Kremling can be found in the game's data, which may be Krocbot.<ref>[https://www.spriters-resource.com/resources/sheets/43/45617.png The Spriters Resource]</ref>
 **Of note is that "Klanger" is not crossed out on the list and that "[[Kritter]]" is referred to as a "little" Kremling (which it is not in the final), suggesting they may have been combined into one for the final.
