Hey everyone,

A number of years ago, I released a hack called Donkey Kong Country - Expert Edition. This was a simple hack that gave DKC1 a harder difficulty like the hard modes that could be accessed via cheat code in DKC2 and DKC3. There were a couple of oversights in the hack that I finally decided to get around to fixing, but after discovering that more advanced hacking tools are now available, I decided to redo the hack from scratch and split it into three versions of varying difficulty.

Hard Edition — This hack removes the Warp Barrels (level skips) and DK Barrels.

Expert Edition — This hack removes the Warp Barrels, DK Barrels, and Star Barrels (checkpoints).

Hero Edition — This hack removes the Warp Barrels, DK Barrels, Star Barrels, and Donkey Kong himself! You have to beat the whole game as Diddy and can only take one hit per stage. (Named after "Hero Mode" from the GBA version.)

I'm doing some testing of my own, but considering I kept missing DK Barrels here and there despite releasing a few updates to the original patch, I was hoping some people might be interested in testing the beta versions of the new patches before I officially release them. Ideally, I need people to play all three versions, but Expert and Hero are the most important (since all the changes in Hard are incorporated into these versions). All testers will be credited in the readme!

If anyone is interested in testing, let me know and I can send you the patches via private message. I would need you to 101% the game to confirm that it's possible and then report back whether I missed anything that was supposed to be removed or made any other oversights. If possible, I would like to officially release these hacks by November 21, which is the 30th anniversary of DKC1's original release.

Hello, everyone!

For the 30th anniversary of Donkey Kong Country, I created three hacks that increase the difficulty!

Challenge Edition — Removes the DK Barrels (which restore your lost character) and Warp Barrels (level skips).

Expert Edition — Removes the DK Barrels, Warp Barrels, and Star Barrels (checkpoints).

Hero Edition — Removes the DK Barrels, Warp Barrels, Star Barrels, and Donkey Kong himself! You must play through the entire game with just Diddy!

I created these hacks using the amazing RainbowZ Editor by RainbowSprinklez.

Please let me know if you find any issues, and enjoy! :toot:
