** [[https://www.frankerfacez.com/emoticon/55318-ChunkyBackFlippingChokingTheWR ChunkyBackFlippingChokingTheWR]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Refers to an infamous run that was on pace to be world record at the time, only for the runner to throw it due to pressing Z+A (backflip) instead of Z+B (Primate Punch) at the last possible moment. This was immortalized with an emote on [=FrankerFaceZ=] that many ''[=DK64=]'' speedrunners have, and among runners it's not uncommon to randomly do a backflip after becoming Hunky Chunky in the final boss fight (though earlier, so that they still have plenty of time to land and counter King K. Rool) in honor of this.[[/labelnote]]
** Homing ammo would be neat in theory, but in practice it tends to result in your shots homing into something else that isn't what you were aiming at (such as the caged Kasplat in the Creepy Castle lobby, where no matter how much you try to hit the coconut switch the shots will go for the Kasplat). Since homing ammo takes priority over normal ammo, this usually means blowing through all your homing ammo just so you can get to the ammo that actually lets you hit what you're aiming at. Indeed, the fanmade VideoGameRandomizer allows you to toggle between normal and homing ammo, allowing you to save the latter for when it's actually useful.

** Beaver Bother. It's a basic herding game where, as a Klaptrap, you have one minute to scare Gnawtys into a tiny hole in the centre of a round stage. Problem is, the collision detection for the beavers vs. the hole is a little too good, and your Klaptrap can't simply push them in, also due to collision mechanics. The Gnawtys also have a slowish respawn, and frequently get stuck on the wall. There's one game that requires you to herd 12 Gnawtys in the hole, which is difficult, but then there are two, count 'em: ''TWO'', versions that require you to herd 15. As some kind of sick joke, BOTH of them are in the same world (Creepy Castle).
** Busy Barrel Barrage can be a real pain as well. Basically, all the player has to do is shoot the Kremlings (and later on, Kasplats) using one of the Kongs' weapons. Seems easy, right? Yeah... if it wasn't for the fact that not only will the player automatically lose if hit once, they are stuck right in the centre, unable to even move a single inch from their spot, meaning the player has to continuously shoot at the enemies to avoid getting hit, which, of course, isn't helped by the fact that the Kasplats take much longer to bring down using a weapon, thus giving enough time for the other enemies to walk up to the player and hit them.

** The mechanical fish in Gloomy Galleon is an odd example. You have to play Diddy's guitar on top of the lighthouse, get to the other section, dive underwater and get into the submarine and then the fun begins. You have to shoot out all three of the lights (hit them three times to turn them from red to white to busted) but the propeller and respawning Zingers can get in the way. The reason this is odd is that as [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wQspd_6ppO8 this video]] elaborates, the difficulty depends on whether you have Diddy's Sniper Scope upgrade; if you do, the game lags, and as a result, the propeller stops fewer times and gives you less opportunity to shoot, while the countdown timer gives you barely enough time if you do it exactly right. It's not only much tougher than Beaver Bother but at least with Beaver Bother you can jump right in the banana barrel again, here you have to go back to the top of the lighthouse and do that all over again. However, if you turn off the aiming or do not have the upgrade, the mission is much easier.

** The second race against the rabbit in Fungi Forest. Unlike the first race, where you could easily keep pace with him using Orangstand, this time he's so much faster that even with [[SprintShoes Orangstand Sprint]] he outspeeds you. He usually takes good lines for most of the race on top of this, so faltering even a little bit usually results in the rabbit instantly getting a lead and holding it for the rest of the race. To make matters worse, unlike ''every'' other challenge issued by a character that requires the use of Crystal Coconuts (including the owl ring challenge in the very same room as this), the rabbit race does ''not'' give you infinite Crystal Coconuts, and due to the race's length even just two failed attempts means spending several minutes farming up enough to try again. Tellingly, many players only win the race by ''accident'' due to the rabbit [[LuckBasedMission randomly getting caught on something]].

* HilariousInHindsight: Near the end of the credits, after putting the last banana on the Banana Hoard, DK grabs Cranky and carries him on piggyback while running towards the exit, with Cranky wildly waving his arms all the while. 15 years later in ''VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountryTropicalFreeze'', Cranky can ride piggyback on DK once again, but this time he has the skills to keep up with his son.

Similarly, in the 101% ending he initially appears and intimidates Diddy Kong, only to immediately cower behind Diddy when a tiny Gnawty squeaks at him.

* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: Chunky's door of the five-door igloo in Crystal Caves has him discover a rabbit tied to a TNT barrel that EvilLivingFlames are attempting to approach and detonate, a simple setup with an NPC in immediate peril to entice you to help them. The problem is that the rabbit in question is the exact same smug, [[TheComputerIsACheatingBastard cheating bastard]] you race in ThatOneSidequest in Fungi Forest, meaning most players will hold absolutely ''no'' goodwill towards him and would be more than happy to stand idly by and watch as he gets blown to bits. It's commonly joked among ''[=DK64=]'' veterans that Rareware could not have picked a ''less'' likeable character to threaten to kill off if they had tried.
