The command in question is: L - R - R - L - R - R - L - R - R. This simple option allows players to enjoy sifting through the game's entire soundtrack.Īudio fun aside, the other secret in-game feature allows players to track their progress in collecting the hidden DK Coins that are scattered across the game's maps. "Cranky's Video Game Heroes" is a short in-game event that consists of the oldest member of the DK crew, Cranky Kong, ranking the player's DK Coin collection against that of other Nintendo heroes, like Mario and Link. To access Cranky's Video Game Heroes and check how many DK Coins have been collected, players can either wait until they've completed the game, which will automatically trigger the event, or input a secret command while on the map screen. And aside from Cheat Mode, players have access to the secret Music Test mode, and one other hidden, practical, in-game perk (full disclosure: the perk unfortunately has nothing to do with recent exciting Nintendo trademarks.)Īgain, to access Music Test, players need only highlight the "Two Player Contest" option on the Main Menu and press "down" on the D-pad five times. Needless to say, Donkey Kong Country 2 doesn't offer players a great variety of cheats through Cheat Mode, but the two that it does offer are both substantial.

Once Cheat Mode has been activated, a player can input different series of commands to activate different cheats, just like in the original Donkey Kong Country. RELATED: Donkey Kong: Every Playable Kong in the Franchise (& Their First Game)
After pressing "down" five times, players will gain access to the game's Music Test mode, but pressing "down" an additional five times unlocks Cheat Mode.
Donkey Kong Country 2 allows players to quickly access the secret mode by highlighting the "Two Player Contest" game option and pressing "down" on the D-pad ten times total. Whether in pursuit of bonus perks, or a way to make the game more challenging, the easily accessible Cheat Mode is there to help a player out (or not).
Fans and veterans alike can also celebrate the fact that the game's beloved Cheat Mode has made a return too.
