This SNES game has once ported to the GBC.  Once again, DKC was ported to 
the GBA.This FAQ will tell you all the major and minor changes between
the SNES and the GBA version.

III. The Changes

*in ropey rampage, Near the beginning of the stage, there is a rope that leads
to the tops of the trees. However, if you roll jump off of the cliff near the
rope, you hit a warp barrel!! In the SNES version, the warp barrel does not
exist.

bonus barrels.

-There is warp barrels in other areas beside Stop n' go station.(ex. in Mine
Kart caenage, Millstone Mayhem and others)

-the enemies fom Stop or go station doesn't make a stomping sound while they
are running.

-When you have DK and diddy with you and touch the DK barrel, nothing happens


-The GBA version has some sound effects taken from Donkey Kong 64, ex: some 
of the enemy sounds, the sound DK makes when falling off a ledge sounds like 
in DK64 when you play the DK barrel blast game, and little bits of the 
music.(Credit goes to B3TA X)

-I went around Jungle Hijinx on GBA pounding the ground w/ DK in all the 
places I know there are hidden bananas in the ground in the SNES version. 
But most of the places I slapped didn't have anything. They took out a lot 
of those hidden bananas, as well as in other levels.(Credit goes to B3TA X)

-The Rock Kroc guys in stop & go station sound different when you make them 
stop running, and I swear they come alive faster at the part at the end 
after going through the warp thing because it was harder to get through that 
with both Diddy & DK still alive to the exit.(Credit goes to B3TA X)

-When walking the trail in between levels in a world, in GBA you can now 
control it by walking back & forth in between the two levels. In SNES you 
couldn't & you were forced to walk the whole way to a level if you pressed 
that direction accidentally. But now you can turn around mid-walk! Yay.
(Credit goes to B3TA X)

-Some bonus barrels that couldn't be seen in SNES because they were too high 
or too low are a little more visible in GBA. For example: in stop & go 
station there are 3 bananas in a vertical line, then there are about 3 Klap 
Traps, then a tire that you can roll back to where those 3 bananas were & 
jump on to reach a bonus level. I never knew that was there in the SNES 
version, but I was able to see it in the GBA version.
(Credit goes to B3TA X) 

-And in Trick Track  Trek I saw the top of a bonus barrel at the bottom of the
screen after jumping aboard the platform at the beginning right after it
started moving along the track. In SNES I never saw that.
(Credit goes to B3TA X)

-The falling platforms in levels like Blackout Basement & Platform Peril 
seem to fall faster when they start shaking in the GBA version.
(Credit goes to B3TA X)

-In the Rambi bonus level on GBA, there are now little gold things to 
collect on the top row of snow/ice things that you jump on to get to the big 
gold Rambi. There were none on SNES.
(Credit goes to B3TA X)

In the Expresso bonus level, the little golden things go up higher than in 
SNES.(Credit goes to B3TA X)

-In the Winky bonus level, when you get to the big gold Winky, there aren't 
any tires to bounce on to get out of that little room in the GBA version as 
there were in SNES.(Credit goes to B3TA X)

-In GBA when Diddy throws a wooden/TNT barrel, it doesn't go as far as it 
did in SNES.(Credit goes to B3TA X)

-In Trick Track Trek GBA version towards the end when the enemies fall down 
onto your moving platform thing, I think there is a Klump or a Krusha up 
there who comes down onto the platform who didn't in the SNES version.
(Credit goes to B3TA X)

-You can get into an airplane in GBA from the start menu without having to 
actually go to Funky & get a plane. I don't know if that difference is worth 
mentioning though.
(Credit goes to B3TA X)

-The hidden areas in the water stages are much easier to spot

-I can't believe that I missed the obvious. This time, you get to see
HOW the banana hoard was stolen. In the original version, the story synopsis
was shown in the manual.

-The golden animal icon stacks up, even if you died in that stage. In the
SNES version, it doesn't stack up until you beat the stage.

-The golden Rambi icon in Barrel Cannon Canyon was placed differently

-Also on the SNES version of Barrel Cannon Canyon, after being launched on
the first barrel, you can get to the second barrel easily. In the GBA version
it cannot be done the same way. :(

-In the SNES version of Vulture Culture, there is a glitch in the second
bonus area. After being deployed in the barrel and killed the Necky, you
can destroy the wall by just landing to the wall. In the GBA version,
they removed the glitch.

- In some of the stages, the hidden bonus area walls are more noticeable.
 
-------------------------------------
A. Boss pattern Changes and Differences
-------------------------------------

- In Very Gnawty Lair, the GBA boss sprite has been swapped from its
Gorilla Glacier counterpart. The pattern is slightly altered. After the first
hit, Very Gnawty makes one huge jump and adds a series of hops afterwards.
On the SNES version, it's just a series of hops

- In Necky's Nuts, the GBA boss pattern is slightly altered. The only
significant difference is that the Big Necky turns invincible while spewing
a nut. In the SNES version, your allowed to damage the boss during the
attack.

*In the SNES version of Bumble B, Rumble, when Queen bee turns red, she 
flies in a Zig-Zag Formation. She you can't attack her until she stops 
turning red. In the GBA version, She have five zingers to protect her.(Similar
to DKC2 King bee boss) You have to kill all 5 of her servants to hit her
again. 

*Also, the barrels have also been altered. For example, in the SNES
version, there are two barrels already set out for you. In contrast, the
GBA version has only one barrel. Once it is used, another barrel will
fall from the sky and into the Kong's hands.

- In Really Gnawty Lair, the GBA boss sprite has also been swapped from its
Kongo Jungle counterpart. In the GBA version, this time there are a pillars
of stalagtites hanging down the ceiling. After the first hit, the boss makes
one giant leap and stalagtites will fall off. During that time, Really
Gnawty is invinceable until the all stalagtites have fallen off.

-In the SNES version of Boss Dumb Drum, After you defeat two armies, the boss
immediately dies. In the GBA version, after you defeat the two armies, a TNT
barrel appears and you must throw it to him.

-In the SNES version of Necky's revenge, you only have to fight one big necky.
For each time you hit him he'll spit out two nuts. In the GBA version you have
to fight TWO neckys, Each shooting on both sides. Then if one of them is dead,
the other start switching sides and beign to shoot four nuts.
