Super Donkey Kong (NES)

Despite the name, this is a pirated port of Donkey Kong Land from an 8-bit system to a slightly more colorful 8-bit system.

Debug Menu


Game Genie codes enable a debug menu by pressing Start at the title screen. Up and Down move the cursor, while Left and Right change the value. B and A increase and decrease the value by 10, respectively.

Of note is that right before the menu opens, there is a small copyright message saying "FC SYSTEM (C) COPYRIGHT". For a brief period of time, a string saying "LIBRARY READY" will blink on the screen for a couple of seconds before being sent to the debug menu. There's also "EI-HOW YANG", but it's colored the same as the background.

Functionally, it's almost identical to Toy Story and Pocohontos, which were also done by Ei-How Yang.

Stage Select
At the title screen, press A + B + Select. Use Up / Down to select a stage, and press Start to begin. Because the text uses the wrong palette, you can't see the actual text.
