A new cheat code has been revealed in the classic Super Nintendo game Donkey Kong Country 2 after almost 30 years since its release. Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy’s Kong Quest was a popular platformer game developed by Rare in 1985 for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. The game is still cherished by many fans today, especially for its memorable music.

The newly discovered cheat code allows players to return to the map screen even if they haven’t completed the current level. The code was shared on social media by Twitter user tnkt_kong, but it was actually discovered by Discord user h4voc21. To activate the cheat, players need to input specific commands during the pause screen:

– Right + Y
– Left + A
– Up + B
– Down + X

If entered correctly, players will hear a sound and be taken back to the map screen instantly, regardless of their progress in the level. While this cheat code may not be the most groundbreaking, it’s exciting to uncover a hidden secret in a beloved retro game like Donkey Kong Country 2 after all these years.

The timing of this discovery is intriguing, as DKC2 was recently added to the Nintendo Switch Online catalog in 2021, and new icons were just added last week. Additionally, the game’s music is now available on Nintendo’s music app for Android and iOS. It seems like there’s still more to explore and uncover in the world of classic video games.
