* King K. Rool kidnaps DK to ransom him back to the other kongs for the Bananas. But Diddy and Dixie turn it inot a rescue mission instead. So why didn't the Kremlings just KILL DK as soon as Diddy and Dixie arrived on Crocodile Isle? They looked determined to go after the recuing Kongs when the one they held hostage was the blackmail material they could do away with more easily.

* Will someone tell me how this is a "''[[SuperMarioBros Mario]]'' clone"? Besides the GoombaStomp, I don't see much similarities, and the GoombaStomp was a standard way of defeating enemies in platformers back then, so I think this is acceptable.
** [[FanDumb If you jump on things to kill them and hop on platforms, it's a Mario clone]].
** This accusation really pisses me off. The only thing they share is a genre. Oh, and i guess you could say animal buddies are Yoshi expies, but still...
** [[note]]Well there's also the whole "floating bananas= coins/collect-a-thon" aspect, but I digress...[[/note]]It's because "Mario Clone" equals "Platformer Genre". Yes it doesn't make much sense, but most people tend to associate a genre with whatever game tends to stand out the most to them. It's the same contrived reasoning you see whenever action games are called "VideoGame/GodOfWar clones", every MMO ever being likened to ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'', and any game involving raising monsters is ripping off Franchise/{{Pokemon}}, regardless of how varied the gameplay mechanics actually are.
*** Also, DKC is a spinoff of the Mario series, and in particular the near-TropeMaker of the PlatformGame genre. Calling DKC a "Mario Clone" would be like calling VideoGame/YoshisIsland or VideoGame/WarioLand "Mario Clones.

*** And, as with many video games, events that shouldn't be dependent on your progress inexplicably ''are'', like a BrokenBridge, but broken on ''his'' end. I imagine he hoped the Kongs would remain in their cells on DK Island (except Chunky, who's imprisoned kremside in Frantic Factory instead) and get blown up along with the island once he finally gets it to work. They only manage to start the countdown right as you enter Hideout Helm

* That TV of K. Rool's. It's almost completely wrong! Look at what happens when DK gets his first Golden Banana. What actually happens: DK agrees to help K. Lumsy, K. lumsy dances, the rock in front of Jungle Japes' lobby breaks, DK goes to where it was, and there's a Golden Banana on the ground. What the TV shows: DK is under a Golden Banana, and he can't reach it, despite being able to jump that high, surely. He slams the ground, and it falls to where it was. And I'm not even getting into Lanky [[CutscenePowerToTheMax Orangstand Sprinting around the inside of the barrel where it looks like he is, or Diddy flying as nimbly as he does]]. What purpose does it serve to show something almost completely different from what happens, aside from result?

* A meta headscratcher for the cartoon: Where the heck was that show (well, the ''English'' version) recorded? We've got voice actors from the L.A. (Neil Ross, Charlie Adler, Frank Welker etc.) ''and'' Toronto (John Stocker, Andrew Sabiston, Len Carlson, etc.) areas, at least one writer (Ian James Corlett) is a voice actor from the Vancouver area (yet doesn't provide any voice-work himself, as far as we know), is produced by a Canadian company (Nelvana), and animated by a French company.

* More DK64: Troff and Scoff. In order to unlock the door to each boss, Troff, who starts out the heavier one each time, stands on the platform under the key and lock, while Scoff, who starts off the lighter one each time, stands on the other platform. I understand that this is to give you some sort of reason to collect some ever-increasing percentage of the normal bananas in each level, and not doing it this way means that Rare might as well have had an unlocked door with neither Troff nor Scoff involved, but thinking of it from the perspective of "these guys ostensibly want to help", wouldn't it have made more sense for them to have Scoff on the side with the key and Troff on the other, weighing his side down so Scoff could reach it?
