Free Play and High Score Saving
The Crazy Kong Part II kit stores the Top 5 supported high scores using serial EEPROM storage and supports both Free Play and Coin-Up operation.
The Crazy Kong Remix Multigame kit stores high scores per game, so each supported title keeps its own score table. Free Play is enabled through the menu, while coin play remains available for traditional operation.
Original PCB Operation

The Crazy Kong Remix Multigame kit adds a Game Select menu while still allowing the original PCB ROMs to remain playable. Some boards use alternate color PROMs or palettes, so inherent board palette differences may still appear after the kit is installed.
