Donkey Kong Country Cheats
Easter Egg: Ride the Silver Kong Clone
Note: This glitch description refers to controls for the SNES control pad which are similar to those on the Wii Classic Controller. Your method of control (Wii Remote, for example) may require different button presses when playing this on the Virtual Console.
This bizarre glitch can be pulled off in the first level of the game. Find Rambi and ride him back to the beginning of the level. Get off Rambi and grab the metal barrel at the level opening and throw it against a wall. Then, hop on top of the barrel and ride it towards Rambi while holding Y. When you pass Rambi, press B while still holding Y. You will mount Rambi and, while holding Y, have Rambi kick the barrel. When you let go of Y you will be riding a palette-swapped, second Donkey Kong!

Tip: 99 Lives
Go to the first level and keep playing to get as many extra lives as possible. You will get a total of about ten extra lives every time you play that level. Just repeat this to collect up to ninety-nine lives.
Go to the Manic Mincers level. When you pass the halfway point, turn into Diddy. Allow the first blue muscle guy to fall into the hole. Just when he falls in the hole, hold Back then hold B. After you hit him nine times you will start gaining lives.

Tip: Oil Can Trick
In Kongo Jungle go to the fist level. After you get blasted out, go back and climb up the little rocks and jump on the tree, jump over to the next tree and you should see bananas making a down sign. Jump down and you should get an oil can, carry the oil can back to the place you started and throw it against the wall, it will come your way! Jump onto it and your kong should barely balance on it. Don't do anything while on the barrel. You should kill all the enemies and the can will break into the secret area Rambi could break into!
