Donkey Kong bug?

[atarilovesyou]

Well, I've noticed this bug in three of my four DK carts on CV...the first thing you notice is when you die, the background music keeps playing. Usually it stops, and the death music plays. At first I thought my CV might be malfunctioning, but it doesn't have any other issues with other games.

 

The second thing is at the start of the elevator level, attempt to jump from your starting position onto the elevator. The majority of the time, you'll fall right through the elevator and die. This can also happen from that first ledge above Mario, although not as frequently.

 

Unfortunately, the only DK cart of mine that doesn't have this bug is in the worst cosmetic condition!...oh well. Has anyone else seen these glitches?

If memory serves, the elevator level changes were in the later release of the cart-- I seem to recall dying any time you tried that on the original release, but you COULD jump from your platform to the elevator in the later version. Not sure if it's the difference between the 16k and 24k versions though... Matter of fact, I'm not sure I've ever seen anyone pinpoint the differences between those two versions!

I don't remember my original cart having the bug, but for my two other copies to have the exact same 'bug' can't just be luck, I guess! Thanks for the link!
