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.

If the player pauses the Donkey Kong Country 2 and inputs Right+Y, Left+A, Up+B, and Down+X, they can exit any stage and boot back to the overworld map. This works even if you have not completed the area yet. This is why the code is a big deal: Normally, you can exit a level by pausing and pressing Select, but only if you have beaten it already.

Gamers discover a new cheat code for the classic Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy Kong's Quest almost 29 years after its original release.
