Diddy's Kong Quest has held a secret - a hidden cheat code that had never previously been revealed to the world. But now, it's finally gone public. Donkey Kong Country 2 lets you quickly exit any level you've previously completed by pausing and then hitting the select button.

Surprise! A new, previously undocumented cheat code has been discovered in the classic Super Nintendo game Donkey Kong Country 2 nearly three decades after it hit store shelves. Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy’s Kong Quest was first released nearly 30 years ago in 1985 for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System.

It is always a delight when a crafty programmer discovers a video game cheat code years after the title’s release. Such is the case with a recent revelation that Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy’s Kong Quest has an exit-level code.
