=== Remove 4:3 Borders ===

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. 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:

''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. There's also some minor graphic issues for blast effects and the projection plane with Donkey Kong in it.''

{{testing/entry|revision=3.5|OS=Windows 8|CPU=Intel Core i7-3630QM @ 2.4GHz|GPU=NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M|result=Perfect. To all NVIDIA users use OpenGL if your GPU supports it. It increases the performance on almost every game and you can use anti-aliasing and anisotropic filter. I used OpenGL after [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gl3q_1Sr-L8&feature=c4-overview&list=UU0pLPyFmnjTm0xurd1R19uQ the video].|tester=ZanBolt}}

{{testing/entry|revision=5.0|OS=Windows 10|CPU=Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 @ 2.4GHz|GPU=NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 Ti|result=At default settings, the game runs at 75~90%. Interestingly enough, the game runs at full speed when underclocking the CPU down to 50% (Config --> Advanced --> CPU Options --> Enable CPU Clock Override) at the cost of other benefits (longer loading times, slow downs in overworld map, etc). In my case, I underclocked the CPU down to 25% (182 MHz). Anything lower than 25% will slow down the game, same when overclocking past 100%, so I would suggest values between 25 and 50% for this game.}}
