Donkey Kong Land: Difference between revisions

==Glitches==

If Donkey or Diddy fall with no visible ground below, the game will mistake the player for falling into a pit and will count it as an instant death, even if both Kongs are present. This includes being knocked back by enemies, but also can happen if either Kong falls to a platform below that is off screen.

In some levels, particularly jungle levels, there are [[Necky]]s that sit on platforms and spit nuts, hoping to hit the Kongs when they're below him. However, if Necky is on the top of the screen, the sound effect of spitting nuts can be heard, but no nuts are actually fired.

In some cases the player can obtain the second Kong from a DK barrel, but after getting hit it will still result in a death instead of the other Kong appearing in his place.

[[File:DKL SGB Title Palette Bug.png|right|''Donkey Kong Land'''s title screen on a Super Game Boy when the user overrides the palette.]]

When playing on a [[Super Game Boy]], if the game is on the title screen and the user overrides the palette (either by pressing {{button|snes|X}} to quickly toggle the palette, or {{button|snes|L}}+{{button|snes|R}} to open the palette selector), the screen has an inverted palette, causing graphical weirdness. This is because this screen has four palettes (for the logo, the Kongs, and Rambi), and the Super Game Boy only allows one background color to be shared across all palettes, which in this case is black (leaving only three colors left for each palette). Since the background color is black, the game inverts the Game Boy's background palette colors to work around this limitation, and then assigns the other colors in a way to hide the inversion. However, ''Donkey Kong Land'' does not block the player from replacing the colors, so many of the Super Game Boy's built-in palettes appear inverted relative to other games.
