A new cheat code has been discovered in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy’s Kong Quest, 29 years after the game’s original release on the SNES in 1995. This newly uncovered button command allows players to exit any stage and return to the game’s map screen, even if they haven’t completed the level yet.

The Cheat Code:

To activate this cheat, players need to pause the game and press the following sequence:

• Right + Y
• Left + A
• Up + B
• Down + X
  
  

This discovery adds another layer of flexibility for players revisiting this classic platformer, allowing them to exit levels at will. The code was shared via a translated tweet, and it has sparked excitement among fans of the game, which remains one of the most beloved titles in the Donkey Kong Country series.
