A/V good, no cheating

Like the comments say, version differences lead to the warp being OK for the in-game timer. I'll leave the game page issues to others to sort out, but on the face of things this is an accept from me.

A/V is fine. No cheating is detected.

I'm far more familiar with the SNES DKC3 so the note about the changed mechanincs is welcome. Due to the GBA game having added content (an extra world and the Funky races come to mind), DKC3 Advance should probably have its own game page.

Anyways, the run/warp is clean and quickly done. Accept.

GBA version DKC3 is something, some bits being reallyh good and some really bad.
I will post both final run comments and encodes after European Speedrunner Assembly Winter 2018

In the meantime, here is an extremely in depth version difference video of Donkey Kong Country 1 (SNES vs GBA)

I've posted a new word document file to the website, correcting some typos and removing the mention about the XQ file since it's not on here.

One last note is that
Game Boy Advance NTSC-US version
Should be changed to
Game Boy Advance European version

Mainly because I used a European copy of the game and the US version despite being released later is a lot buggier* as it's possible to Start + Select to exit the stage as soon as you touch the end goal saving a lot of time for full game runs.

*No difference for this IL stage as far as I know.

Both have been fixed! And also the run itself had a problem with the link which has been fixed. Oops :/ We'll shout it out once more in the next update.
