*The villains in the show are never referred to as [[Kremling]]s, only as "lizards", "gators" and similar terms. However, enemies like [[Kritter]]s and [[Klaptrap]]s are still referred to by their names from the games. | *The villains in the show are never referred to as [[Kremling]]s, only as "lizards", "gators" and similar terms.

*All non-Kremling enemies from the first game ([[Zinger]]s, [[Gnawty|Gnawties]], [[Manky Kong]]s, etc.) are omitted and the Kremlings' military force is mostly simplified to Kritters and Klaptraps (the latter of which is considered ammunition for weapons instead of troops). [[Rock Kroc]]s additionally do not appear, nor do any of the [[Animal Friends]]. The only character to neither be a Kong nor a Kremling to have a model in the series is [[Polly Roger]], while [[Inka Dinka Doo]] is part of the scenery. | *All non-Kremling enemies from the first game ([[Zinger]]s, [[Gnawty|Gnawties]], [[Manky Kong]]s, etc.) are omitted and the Kremlings' military force is mostly simplified to Kritters and Klaptraps (the latter of which is considered ammunition for weapons instead of troops).

*Though the series is based on the first three ''Donkey Kong Country'' games, its {{wp|iTunes}} listing background is artwork from ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'', which released a decade after the series ended. As such, the background shows [[Rambi]] and members of the [[Tiki Tak Tribe]], despite them not appearing in the series.<ref>[https://tv.apple.com/us/show/donkey-kong-country/umc.cmc.6xhbt8gczd8a24krkj6ac7anl ''Donkey Kong Country'' ].
