Four episodes were released in North America on a single VHS cassette titled, ''Donkey Kong Country: The Legend of the Crystal Coconut''. Said episodes were edited together to make them seem like one continuous storyline. However, these episodes were not put together in the proper order; for example, a flashback shown in the third episode actually happened in the fourth episode of the tape.

Said episodes were edited together to make them seem like one continuous storyline. However, these episodes were not put together in the proper order; for example, a flashback shown in the third episode actually happened in the fourth episode of the tape. The American version of the tape was distributed by Paramount Home Entertainment, Nintendo, and Nelvana. Advertisements and even the videotape's packaging neglected to mention the actual TV series the episodes originated from, and was instead marketed as a standalone film (leading to some confusion among newer viewers of certain content, such as [[Eddie the Mean Old Yeti]]'s brief appearance in ''[[Ape-Nesia]]''). | ||
