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.
