Anti-Piracy#

This game utilizes the DS Protect anti-piracy library to ensure that it is not being run off a flashcart or emulator. If any of the DS Protect checks fail, the game will intentionally cripple itself to heavily limit progression:

• The game can hang during screen transitions.
• The game can randomly lock all levels after completing a level, only leaving the first one as playable. This is cosmetic to the current session, and fixes itself when restarting the game.
• The game can leak memory, which eventually causes the game to be unable to spawn sprites, preventing levels from loading anything and glitching out the menu UI. Eventually, the game will crash from running out of memory.
• On boss stages, the bottom girder connector bolts will never appear, rendering these stages impossible to beat.
  • In the final battle stage, Donkey Kong will not take any damage from attacks.
