Trivia
In Cranky's Video Game Hero awards, under the sign reading "NO HOPERS" lies Sonic the Hedgehog's famous pair of red shoes.

Goofs
In Donkey Kong Country (1994), Rambi would pant while waiting for one of the Kongs to hop on his back and ride him. In Diddy's Kong-Quest, he pants but, there is no panting sound at all.

Quotes
Cranky Kong: Say hello to your old grandpappy Cranky. I'm back by popular demand to offer my wealth of gameplay wisdom for this unnecessary sequel.

Crazy credits
After the crew and cast credits have rolled, there's a scene of Cranky and Diddy back in Cranky's museum where Cranky gives away a secret code then he says to shut off the game and let him get some sleep.

I loved this one even better

Many people have said this game rocks but falls a little short of the first. I disagree on the latter part. Original DKC was far better than most games, yet it gave me the impression of an old-style game updated and showing off the capabilities. This time they put extra effort into improving from there. No more Candy Kong kisses while you gather giant plantains.

You might miss working with the big guy, but that sure doesn't ruin the fun. Dixie Kong is cool in her own regard, making a swell teammate for Diddy. The enemies' pirate theme lends organization while keeping the game cracked enough for amusement. The scenery is easy on the eyes and the music is simply superb. And yes, the gameplay advanced as well.

If DKC is salt, then DKC 2 is sugar. Both delicious, but I know which I prefer.
