Donkey Kong Country - Over the Ice Glitch

I don't know if anyone else has found out about this glitch, but I'm posting a video of it in case it hasn't. This is a revision-specific glitch, meaning it'll only work on certain revisions of DKC. To my knowledge, there are a total of three versions of the game: the American (3 revisions, plus the Competition Cartridge,) the European (2 revisions,) and the Japanese version (2 revisions.) This glitch will work on all revisions except American, 1.2.

To put the glitch in words, this appears to be a level tile overlook of some sort made by the developers. As most seasoned DKC players should know, Slipslide Ride has three bonus stages. Two are accessed by breaking holes in the wall. The third and final bonus in the level is a barrel cannon located in an open crevice in the ceiling over the first gap after the patch in the ground that contains the Enguarde token. You access this bonus by quickly going backwards on the last blue rope to the 2nd to the last blue rope over the Zinger. This will lead you straight to the bonus level. Unlike DKC's sequels, you cannot access a true bonus stage more than once. In this case, the barrel cannon will no longer be there when you return to the main level after the bonus stage. So, you go back to where the bonus barrel was and once you've reached the highest point, you jump to the left as far as you can. You'll end up going OVER the left wall, grabbing the closest blue rope, and effectively going through the wall. You can also do this on the right wall, but with less disastrous results. In American, 1.2, apparently the tiles that you jump through to get over the walls are made solid, which prevents you from performing this glitch.

Keep in mind that, as this movie demonstrates, that you might have some trouble getting back onto the blue ropes when you return after the bonus level because the ropes won't appear. Probably a "too many sprites" bug, which is remedied by moving away from where the blue ropes are and than returning.

In case anyone's curious, this movie was recorded on the American version, 1.1.

I tried on mine, but couldn't get it to work. ow do you tell which revision you have?

I heard awhile back that there are some numbers on the back of the cartridge that can tell you what version you have, but it's been so long, I don't really remember. But since the bug didn't work for you, you probably have American, 1.2.
