*Through hacking, it is revealed that Kopters were initially programmed with a standing sprite and a defeated sprite in ''Donkey Kong Country 3''. The defeated sprite, however, was seen in ''Donkey Kong Land III''. The standing sprite also bears resemblance to that of [[Kutlass]] from [[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest|the previous game]].
