This title's bloom lighting renders incorrectly /w resolutions above Native. There's also some minor graphic issues for blast effects and the projection plane with Donkey Kong in it. Notes: The 7th code is the X-FOV and the 9th one is the Y-FOV for the 4:3 setting The 11th code is the X-FOV and the 14th code is the Y-FOV for the 16:9 aspect setting. The game was designed only for 16:9 display, but the following Gecko codes will remove the borders from it to allow proper display based on the Wii settings:

When the Wii Aspect Ratio is set to 4:3, the game will add black borders to the top & bottom of the screen to remain in 16:9. There is a high definition texture pack for Donkey Kong Country Returns on the Dolphin forums. Of course, if you’d rather just free up space on your 4GB card, you can rescue the save files by copying the game data to your computer and keeping it on that device until you need it again.There are no reported problems with this title.

Remove the card and pop it back into your 3DS.

Remove the original card and replace it with the larger card.

Copy the files into a folder on your hard drive.

Turn off your 3DS and remove the SD card.

You’re probably best off upgrading to a larger card. But beware: Removing games from the SD card permanently deletes its save data. Of course, you can free up storage by deleting other games and data. I had a 4GB card in my 3DS, however, and I still had to upgrade because large games like Fire Emblem: Awakening and several other apps left me with only about 1.5GB of space. The 3DS XL, for example, comes with 4GB in storage. This isn’t a problem for anyone buying the physical game or with a larger memory card. It requires 17,655 blocks (or 2.1GB) of free space, which is larger than the 16,384 blocks available in total on the standard 2GB SD card that comes with a 3DS. As a download, however, it’s quite the beefy package. On May 24, Nintendo will release Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D for its 3D handheld at retailers and on the system’s digital eShop store.
