To perform this glitch, the Kongs must get to the end of [[Lava Lagoon]]. Then, they should jump on the [[Klobber]] nearby and pick up the barrel it's in, placing it about an inch away from the Ending Pad. Quickly, before the enemy emerges from its barrel and attacks, the heroes need to get in position to do a [[team up]] move right next to the Ending Pad, but in front of the foe. As soon as the Klobber jumps out of the barrel, they must throw a monkey straight up in the air, above the Ending Pad. While the one monkey moves through the air, the Klobber runs by, hitting the monkey on the ground. That Kong is bounced on top of the Ending Pad, which should make the level end. However, if done correctly, the other Kong should still be in the air, messing up the game. As a result, the music stops playing, and the heroes are still in the level. Also, the Ending Pad no longer works, as the group goes right through it. | To perform this glitch, the Kongs must get to the end of [[Lava Lagoon]].

In [[Rickety Race (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Rickety Race]], the player must stay in last place until the end of the race, taking caution to not defeat the [[Klank]] at the start. When the 10th place indicator flag appears at the end of the race, defeat the second-to-last place Klank. This will cause the graphics to severely glitch, and in most cases, cause the game to crash. This is due to a programming oversight; the game is normally supposed to never update the flag when a Klank is defeated near the end, but this only applies to 1st | In [[Rickety Race (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Rickety Race]], the player must stay in last place until the end of the race, taking caution to not defeat the [[Klank]] at the start.

This is due to a programming oversight; the game is normally supposed to never update the flag when a Klank is defeated near the end, but this only applies to the first digit only displayed for 1st to 9th place.<ref name="tcrf"></ref> As a result, the game jumps to arbitrary pointers switching the second digit, which causes the game to read garbage data. This glitch only occurs in the SNES version. | ||
