Unused Game Description

This game has a banner directory (like many other DS games) which contains a banner and a set of plain text files for different languages, each containing a short description of the game's multiplayer mode, to be displayed on the receiving system when Download Play is used.

Interestingly, it has a Chinese version file, "dlexpl_ch.txt", despite this particular game never being distributed there. This file seems to contain an early version of the Japanese text instead.

Text from "Chinese" file (dlexpl_ch.txt)	Final Japanese text (dlexpl_jp.txt)
どんきーDS たいせんで　アツくなれ ライバルたちをぶっちぎれ	ドンキーコング ジャングルクライマー ノンストップ　レースバトル！ さいそくは　だれだ！
Translation: Donkey DS Blaze in Battle! Beat out your rivals! (Source: Translation: GlitterBerri)	Translation: Donkey Kong Jungle Climber Nonstop race battle! Who's the fastest?!

SystemSetting.txt

This is the most interesting of the four log files present in the root directory as it mentions a debug HUD.

{
	bVisibleDebugHUD = 1	//デバック表示
	bPauseDisplaySW  = 0	//ポーズ時の表示
	bResetDebug      = 1	
	bBGMEnable		 = 1	//BGM有効無効
	ResetStartLevelName = "level/&&Start-Menu"	//"level/StartUp"
	BootLevelName = "level/Logo"	//初回ブート時開始レベル
}

Translation:

{
	bVisibleDebugHUD = 1	//Debug Display
	bPauseDisplaySW  = 0	//Pause Display
	bResetDebug      = 1	
	bBGMEnable		 = 1	//BGM On/Off
	ResetStartLevelName = "level/&&Start-Menu"	//"level/StartUp"
	BootLevelName = "level/Logo"	//Initialization Level on 1st Boot
