DKC3 PAR Codes

Introduction to DKC3 PAR Codes

The PAR codes below can be used to manipulate various gameplay aspects of Donkey Kong Country 3.

> What are PAR codes?

Pro Action Replay codes, or 'PAR' codes are a series of digits which target and manipulate key areas of game memory when entered into a device called the Pro Action Replay. These codes allow owners of the device (or users of other systems which support PAR code entry) to change many different aspects of how a game works.

> Show info regarding code compatibility with different 'revisions' of Donkey Kong Country 3.

Note:

All codes have been tested and are verified to work with the USA version 1.0 of DKC3. Most have also been verified to work with other game versions, but there's a chance that some codes will malfunction in versions other than the original (USA 1.0) release.

If any of these codes don't work for you, please let me know by posting a message in the PAR code thread on DKC Atlas Forum. If you know what region (USA, EUR or JAP) and version (v1.0 or 1.1) of DKC3 you have, please include that information in your post.

Enabling this code will cause all level objects (baddies, barrels, signs, etc.) to be removed from play. Useful for getting past certain doors/obstacles, and for taking animal buddies past 'No Animal' signs. Objects will be repositioned in their starting positions when this code is deactivated.

Side effects:

Removes some objects (eg. end-of-level flags) which are required to make progress during gameplay.
While this code is enabled, visual terrain glitching will occur when the view scrolls downward.

Many more excellent codes are still to come!
