[Amusing] I have a broken controller because...

The elevator level in DKC1 where you had to collect gas barrels so the small platform you're on keeps moving and doesn't drop.

Collecting the barrels was not that hard so much as managing to hold down the Y button through the whole level without letting go. If you let go, you usually pressed Y again right away, making DK and Diddy roll forward, which usually resulted in you flinging yourself off the elevator to your death.

I eventually had to tape down my Y button because the contacts started getting weak and every now and then the game would register me letting go of the button and then pressing down again, once more activating instant barrel roll to death.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
