 **[[Funky Kong]] starts off surfing the waves, but accidentally falls into the water.
 **After Cranky Kong talks with Donkey Kong, [[The Flying Krock]] hovers above Donkey Kong. Kaptain K. Rool orders his minions (a [[Krook]], a [[Kannon]], and a [[Kaboing]] are shown) to kidnap Donkey Kong to ensure that he does not interfere with his plans. Two [[rope]]s drop beneath the airship, and eight [[Klinger]]s (four on each rope) slide down into the trees. Two green [[Kutlass]]es ambush Donkey Kong on each side and tie him up. Donkey Kong is pulled up into the airship, where K. Rool tells Donkey Kong that he will never be able to see his friends or [[Donkey Kong Island|DK Island]] again.
-**Diddy and Dixie ask Cranky to read the note aloud. The note is nearly identical to the one in the manual, except that the "To the yellow-bellied, land-lubbing Kong Family:" salutation was removed.

 **At the end of the cutscene, Funky suggests that all of them Kongs should go to rescue Donkey Kong tomorrow, but Diddy insists on leaving immediately, and says that Enguarde the Swordfish will take them.
-*In the original game, the last level in [[K. Rool's Keep]], [[Stronghold Showdown]], was a small room where Donkey Kong was found tied up and suspended, and Diddy or Dixie would do their victory dances, only to see Donkey Kong get snatched away. In the Game Boy Advance version, the level is on the castle roof, and the player must fight a new boss, [[Kerozene]].

 *Kudgel's pants change from yellow to red, matching his artwork.
 *The game's graphics are slightly brighter because original Game Boy Advance units do not have a backlit screen. This removes the dark atmosphere of the original version.

-*The file selection screen at the beginning now has Diddy Kong as a cursor, and in European versions, the title screen itself is the box art of ''Donkey Kong Land 2'' (the American release has a title screen based on the box art from the original ''Donkey Kong Country 2'', while in the Japanese version, it is based on [[Media:Swamp DKC2 group art (alt).jpg|promotional artwork]] of Diddy and Dixie exploring a swamp area).

 *The hidden music test provides titles from the Official Soundtrack instead of identifiers over the level scenery. However, a few have slightly different spellings, such as "Snakey Chantey" to "Snakey Shanty" and "Stickerbush Symphony" to "Stickerbrush Symphony."<ref>[[TCRF:Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest (SNES)#Version Differences|TCRF]]</ref>

 *Swanky Kong charges ten [[Banana Coin]]s for rematches against a boss. After Diddy and Dixie defeat the boss, Swanky rewards [[Blue Balloon]]s to them.
-*In the original game, when Dixie does her Helicopter Spin, Diddy would float behind her, motionless. In the remake, he somersaults behind her.

 *The cheat that allows the player to obtain all Kremkoins in the first level is no longer present. However, it can still be done by entering the code "FREEDOM" in the password screen.
 *The player's lives and Banana Coins are now saved, instead of losing them whenever the game is turned off after saving.
-*When Kaptain K. Rool is defeated, Donkey Kong knocks him from the Flying Krock via the cockpit, rather than shooting him through the roof. Another scene shows The Flying Krock about to crash, with Funky Kong bringing the Gyrocopter to evacuate Donkey Kong, Diddy, Dixie, and Cranky Kong from the ship just before it gets destroyed. Also, after K. Rool's fall, he is no longer chomped repeatedly by sharks after falling into the waters around [[Krem Quay]]; instead, he is shown daring the Kongs to confront him in Krocodile Kore.

-**The Krocodile Kore ending was also slightly changed. From a distance, Donkey Kong, Diddy, and Dixie witness Crocodile Isle sinking underwater. Celebratory music was added in the background, and K. Rool says that he is not through with the Kongs and that he cannot be stopped. His escape is prevented by Funky Kong, who drops bombs from the Gyrocopter onto K. Rool, who remains adamant on getting revenge on the Kongs.
