"As you can see, this cartridge has Hollywood Video stickers on it. Which is interesting. And I wasn't able to find any record of the competitions being done at Hollywood Video. The 1995 competition was a Blockbuster competition. A major competitor, or the major competitor of Hollywood Video."
"This isn't a normal DK SNES cart. It starts on the first level and lets you play for about five minutes, then stops. After a game collector offered her $1,000 in 2012 for the odd cart, she realized it was probably worth hanging on to."
"There are thought to be only around 2,500 DK Country competition carts in existence, and most are in collectors' hands, making this a fairly rare find."
The March 30 episode of Antiques Roadshow showcased a unique SNES Donkey Kong Country cartridge, which was brought in by a woman who had owned it for over 15 years. This particular cartridge, featuring a Hollywood Video sticker, is a competition cart from the 1995 Blockbuster Championship. Appraiser Jordan Weiss noted its rarity, with only about 2,500 such carts believed to exist. The woman had previously been offered $1,000 for it in 2012, indicating its potential value and significance to collectors.
