"'''Bad Hair Day'''" is the first episode of the [[Donkey Kong Country (television series)|''Donkey Kong Country'' television series]] produced and the first to air in France, the show's country of origin. However, it was the third episode to air in North America.  This episode was produced first, making it the pilot episode. As such, there are a few inconsistencies with the rest of the show. [[Krusha (character)|Krusha]] is less simple-minded in this episode, and the lighting in [[King K. Rool]]'s lair is much darker. Additionally, [[King K. Rool]]'s name is pronounced in two different ways during this episode, first as "King Kay-Rool" and then shortly afterwards as "King Kuh-Rool", with the former having never been used in the show again after this episode. [[Cranky Kong]] also breaks the [[fourth wall]] in this episode like he tends to do in the games, which he almost never does in the animated series.

The concept of a hero losing their strength because of a trusted loved one cutting their hair is based on the biblical story of {{wp|Samson}} and {{wp|Delilah}}.
