Supper Mario Broth @MarioBrothBlog The Donkey Kong arcade has rudimentary copyright protection where the game crashes if it detects changes to the title screen copyright. However, it only checks the "INTEND" part of "NINTENDO", so that changing the first or last letters results in the game working normally.

Supper Mario Broth @MarioBrothBlog Old arcade games often had "kill screens" that ended the game due to a glitch. The kill screen in Donkey Kong Jr. is on Level 22. Due to the glitched level display, this is displayed as "Level F", which is humorous due to the letter F's association with failure and loss. 756900 HIGH SCORE 756900 +3700 F LBONUS LL Source: YouTube user mariadanielaoliveracalvo7040; youtube.com/watch?v=rrgux6N2ltE -Level F Due to the glitched way level numbers are displayed, Levels 1-9 are normal, Levels 10-16 have nothing in the box ("Level Blank"), and starting with Level 17 the box uses letters. 17 is A, 18 is B, 19 is C, 20 is D, 21 is E and 22 is F. The time calculation in Level F overflows the timer so it results in a time limit that is too small to reach the goal. DK Jr. can not get very far before dying like this. Curiously, the exact same glitch also made Level 22 in the Donkey Kong arcade a kill screen.

The prototype version of Donkey Kong 64 had highly exaggerated animations for Chunky Kong that were toned down in the final game. During his punching animation, his fist would briefly grow to roughly the size of his body.

Supper Mario Broth @MarioBrothBlog In the September 1999 kiosk demo for Donkey Kong 64, only three specific events could be played; however, other areas remain in the code.

-124% > 101%

ASMA Supper Mario Broth @MarioBrothBlog The highest file completion percentage that can be achieved in Donkey Kong 64 is negative 124%. This is the result of the completion value becoming so large that it wraps back around to a negative value due to integer overflow. Details in image. GAME 1 -124% 280 036:54 Normally, 201 Golden Bananas can be obtained in Donkey Kong 64. However, by using glitches to duplicate existing Golden Bananas, the count can be increased to 280, after which the game stops counting them. The completion percentage on the file select screen normally shows a "101%" completion if every collectible has been collected, including 201 Golden Bananas. By collecting 280 of them, the formula for the completion calculation comes up with a result of 132%; however, this is displayed as "-124%" instead: ... 125 126 Actual value Value as stored in the 8-bit signed integer variable ... 125 126 dk4 fandom.com es "Exchord", 64 Fandom.com/ka25 127 128 129 130 131 132 133... integer overflow 127 -128 127 126 125 124 123 ... The variable in which the completion percentage is stored can only store values from -128 to 127; as such, if the value is larger than 127, it overflows to -128, resulting in the displayed negative percentage of -124%.

In DKC, Diddy's "minigame loss" animation is him stomping on his hat. In Tanked Up Trouble, it is possible to cause it to play while next to a ledge, resulting in Diddy throwing his hat into the abyss and jumping in after it, dying in the process.
