DKC2 PAR Codes

Introduction to DKC2 PAR Codes

The PAR codes below can be used to manipulate various gameplay aspects of Donkey Kong Country 2.

> 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 2.

Note:

All codes have been tested and are verified to work with the USA version 1.0 of DKC2. 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 DKC2 you have, please include that information in your post.

Kong Abilities:

Makes the active Kong invincible. This is similar to the effect of an invincibility barrel, except that there is no visual flashing effect or 'invincibility' sound, and some things (such as the super-heated water in Lava Lagoon) are still harmful.

Allows Diddy (and any animal he's riding) to pass safely through baddies and other such harmful objects.

7E0E7099 Ghost Mode (Dixie)

Allows Dixie (and any animal she's riding) to pass safely through baddies and other such harmful objects.

7E0E0699 Super Jump (Diddy)

Allows Diddy to jump as high as wanted, until the jump button is released.

Camera/view Adjustment:

7E0AD8## Horz View Shift 1

Set the viewpoint to ## screen widths from the left of the level. Use this in conjunction with the following code to hold the view in place.

7E0AD7## Horz View Shift 2

Fine tune the camera's horizontal position based on the screen area specified by the previous code.

7E0ADC## Vert View Shift 1

Set the viewpoint to ## screen heights from the top of the level. Use this in conjunction with the following code to hold the view in place.

7E0ADB## Vert View Shift 2

Level terrain graphics are only drawn when they come into view under normal conditions, so when using these codes, areas of the level that are viewed suddenly will not have correctly displayed terrain.
