References to other games
- Donkey Kong Jr. - The game's cast, setting and many of its graphical elements are reused from its predecessor. In fact, the game's ROM image was copied and hacked directly from Donkey Kong Jr., as evidenced by the presence of Donkey Kong Jr.-exclusive graphics in the ROM, among other things.[1]
References in later games
- Donkey Kong Country Returns - Donkey Kong's sprite while holding a sign is reused as a background element in Wonky Waterway.
- Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U - Donkey Kong's pink alternate costume is a reference to Junior (II).
