Ohh, I really hope this isn't common knowledge or known since this game came out.
I played this level after I saw this wellmade map of Qyzbud (to find these supersecret 3-life balloons)and then I accidently found out that you're able to walk right through the Necky without getting hurt.
At the moment I can't remember if there are other levels with an similar placed Necky to test it there.

EDIT: Just to avoid any further confusion, this seems to work for (E) 1.0 only.
EDIT: Oh man, what happened yesterday? It will also work with (U) 1.0 and (U) 1.1!

you're able to walk right through the Necky without getting hurt.

Woah, I never noticed that!

Nice find.

[Stone]

wow, my first and probably last post helping you guys
I think i had mispelled Jungle Hijinxs, now it should be correct. I only know this stage as "Dschungel-Fieber"

[Qyzbud]

That doesn't seem to work for me... Maybe it only happens in specific version(s)?

Edit: Seems to work in the PAL 1.0 version, but not 1.1, so perhaps it's something they fixed... ?

By the way, "Dschungel-Fieber" sounds an awful lot like Jungle Fever to me.

I think you're right Qyzbud, it doesn't work on my original cartridge so i must have PAL V1.1. Does anyone know when stopped selling the 1.0?
And yes, Jungle Fever would be the literal retranslation. Let's see if there are better translations for Hijinxs.

EDIT: I've been testing all 1.0's [(E),(U),(J)] and it works for (E) only. So this glitch isn't included in these 1.1's and the 1.2.
EDIT: Oh yes Simion32, it works for (U) 1.0 and for (U) 1.1 too! It was late in the night and i was tired...

Woah, neat find.

I'm gonna go try this now... provided my cart isn't V1.1... :/

Edit: Yep, I has Version 1.0. Awesome glitch...

by the way... how do you check the version number of the game? :/

[Stone]

Good question, but now we know a method to find out which PAL-version you have.

[Simion32]

it works for (E) only.

I does in fact work on "Donkey Kong Country (U) (V1.0) [!].smc". You might have had miss-named files or something...

There are A LOT of enemies you can stand in without dying. Most of the mini neckies in the game for example. A lot of people have said that the TAS is cheating because he is walking through some enemies without dying...

[Stone]

Good to know, i never watched TAS-videos that closely
These TAS people really do know anything. Now it would be interesting to check every enemy in every version, if they haven't already done that
