*During September 2015, ''Donkey Kong Country'' designer [[Gregg Mayles]] posted many pieces of concept art and early pitches for the game, including a binder named '''''Donkey Kong vs. Super [[Wario]]'''''.<ref name=Ghouly>https://twitter.com/Ghoulyboy/status/644266725375148033</ref> No other media of the pitch was posted and when asked about its content, Mayles responded "''Didn't get much beyond Wario and some kind of time machine as I recall.''"<ref name=Ghouly/> Eventually, he posted an actual storyboard of it to Twitter, showing Wario stealing a time machine [[Mario]] invented and turning him to stone using a "futuristic beam gun" in order to "rule Nintendo Land," with a parrot seeing this and going to Donkey Kong for help.<ref>[https://twitter.com/Ghoulyboy/status/1177306565109518336 ''Donkey Kong vs. Super Wario'' storyboards]</ref>. According to Gregg Mayles, this pitch was not pursued because [[Nintendo]] wanted the villains to be new characters.<ref>"It's an early pitch we made to Nintendo that eventually became DKC. They wanted all new bad guys, so we used our reptile Kremlings instead. I still have the book somewhere, but I'm sure I tweeted a some images from inside a few years ago", [https://twitter.com/Ghoulyboy/status/1176830620137377792 Gregg Mayles in a September 25, 2019 twitter post]</ref>

*Mayles posted another pitch titled '''''Donkey Kong and the Golden Bananas''''', which is more similar to the final game. From the four pages posted on his Twitter, the storyline in the pitch shows Donkey Kong guarding the [[Golden Banana]] while relaxing. A lanky blue Kremling named Korporal Krizzle defeats DK and steals the Golden Banana. Grandpa Kong (an early version of [[Cranky Kong]] resembling a white-furred DK) finds Donkey Kong and urges him to get back the artifact. Donkey then calls [[Donkey Kong Jr.|Donkey Kong Junior]], whose design is nearly identical to [[Diddy Kong]], albeit without a tail.<ref>[https://twitter.com/Ghoulyboy/status/639518568581869568 Cover of Golden Bananas] and [https://twitter.com/Ghoulyboy/status/639541214774206466 Golden Bananas concepts] from Gregg Mayles on Twitter</ref>

*The SNES version was planned to have an introduction cutscene, showing Diddy being stomped by [[Krusha]] while patrolling.

*[[Donkey Kong Jr.]] was originally meant to be Donkey Kong's sidekick during the concept phase, but [[Nintendo]] felt that Rare's redesign was too different and mandated them to either revert to Donkey Kong Jr.'s original appearance or change the name of the character.

*Some animal helpers that did not make the final cut included a dolphin, an owl (named '''Hooter'''<ref name=Madness/>) that would give players information, a fox that would reveal secrets, snakes that could be used as vines, a giraffe whose long neck would help the Kongs reach high areas, a flying pig,<ref>''[[Prima Games|Playing With Super Power: Nintendo Super NES Classics eGuide]]'', ''Donkey Kong Country'' Animal Buddies Tab.</ref> and a mole named '''Miney'''.<ref name=Madness/> The giraffe was revealed to a fan that happened to ask about a giraffe in a new game in an old Scribes page on the [[Rareware]] website, where it was mentioned that he would allow Donkey Kong to crawl up his neck and reach high items and secrets.

There are a few unused sprites for [[Puftup]], who would later be an enemy in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. There are also unused sprites for both Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong. Additional letters similar to the K-O-N-G Letters appear in some bonus rooms, though not all letters in the alphabet are used, and the game appears to have the entire alphabet left in the game's coding. The letters F, H, J, L, Q, V, and Z are never used in the game. Slippa has an unused death animation. There is an unused lightning bolt sprite that was presumably meant for [[Ropey Rampage]], which included a lightning effect. There is an unused animation of Cranky being able to walk, which was later added into the [[Game Boy Advance]] remake.

===Unused object subtypes===
{{more images}}
A sizable number of object variations are unused in game. To see them, the player must go to ROM address 3D962A and change the value from B413 to the given object ID.
On September 9, 2020, a Game Boy Color prototype for ''Donkey Kong Country'' leaked to the internet.<ref>[https://tcrf.net/Proto:Donkey_Kong_Country_(Game_Boy_Color) TCRF]</ref> The file is timestamped July 17, 2000, four months before the retail release of the Game Boy Color version. The prototype has several differences from the retail version.

*Like the original Super Nintendo version, accessing every [[bonus room]] in a level adds an exclamation mark after the level's name. In the retail Game Boy Color version, the level name is highlighted red instead.
! Object ID
*Diddy's victory animation involves him throwing his cap up once rather than repeatedly.
! B41D
*In the prototype build, [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] can roll through crawlspaces. This was fixed in the retail version.
|-
*[[Candy's Challenge]] is inaccessible.
! Movement Type
*In [[Very Gnawty's Lair]], [[Very Gnawty]]'s starting position is closer to the Kongs than in the retail version.
| Backwards from spawn point
*The moment that Very Gnawty is defeated, the [[Giant Banana]] and Kongs' victory animation is shown. In the retail version, this is only shown once Very Gnawty pants repeatedly and faints. After this, the game resets.
|-
**Even after resetting the game and reopening the game, [[Monkey Mines]] is inaccessible, but like the retail version, once [[Kongo Jungle]] is completed, [[Gangplank Galleon]] is shown from a distant view on the world map, and Kongo Jungle is marked by a Kong head instead of a [[Kremling]] head.
