List of Donkey Kong Land pre-release and unused content

This is a list of pre-release and unused content for the game Donkey Kong Land.

Early ideas

Several creatures and characters who were originally going in this game were abandoned for unknown reasons. These creatures and characters included a fish enemy that was apparently named Pucka (with Fangfish listed as "Pucka Jr."), an unnamed Kong who wore a hat and what appears to be a baby ram named Ram Bunkshus (planned to be an Animal Friend, according to the game's main programmer Paul Machacek). All these unused characters were first advertised in an issue of Nintendo Power, which included renders.
