Donkey Kong Country 2 and Open Bus | jsgroth's blog
Donkey Kong Country 2 has a pretty well-known bug in the old SNES emulator ZSNES where some stages have spinning barrels that donโt work properly. One of the earliest pictured here, in the first stage of Krem Quay (third world): After you jump into the barrel, youโre supposed to be able to completely control its rotation by pressing left and right on the d-pad, with the barrel only rotating while youโre holding left or right.
