The Game Boy Killer Instinct is a monochromatic port of the arcade fighter.

Unused Graphics

An animation of Expresso from Donkey Kong Land.

An unused Nintendo logo that is stored in the same compressed block as the Rareware logo. Was likely to be displayed alongside it, but was more than likely scrapped in lieu of the much larger "Nintendo Presents" screen that precedes it. This Nintendo logo would later be used in Donkey Kong Land 2.

Arena Select

Only for 2-players mode (either via Game Boy link or in SGB mode with second controller), at versus screen, hold Up or Down and press one of the non D-Pad buttons to play a particular arena rather than the arena assigned to the current opponent.
