Easter Egg: Ride the Silver Kong Clone

Note: This glitch description refers to controls for the SNES control pad which are similar to those on the Wii Classic Controller. Your method of control (Wii Remote, for example) may require different button presses when playing this on the Virtual Console.

This bizarre glitch can be pulled off in the first level of the game. Find Rambi and ride him back to the beginning of the level. Get off Rambi and grab the metal barrel at the level opening and throw it against a wall. Then, hop on top of the barrel and ride it towards Rambi while holding Y. When you pass Rambi, press B while still holding Y. You will mount Rambi and, while holding Y, have Rambi kick the barrel. When you let go of Y you will be riding a palette-swapped, second Donkey Kong!
