In Donkey Kong Country 2, if Diddy falls into water while crouching (possible by sliding off a ledge while crouching), he will ignore the water and fall through it as though it were air, without entering his swimming animation. Underwater enemies like the Snapjaw shown in the footage also exhibit erratic behavior in response to Diddy falling.

In Donkey Kong Country 2, a glitch can recolor Diddy’s boombox and Dixie’s guitar to a golden color scheme. In Hot-Head Hop, if Squitter is left behind just before the “No Squitter” sign, the items Diddy and Dixie will produce at the goal will be colored gold. (Footage recorded by me in a SNES emulator.)
