An alternate version of the game was made available as Mickey Mouse. Mickey Mouse's model number is DC-95, while Donkey Kong Circus is MK-96, when they should be swapped. During the manufacturing of the games, the numbers were accidentally switched. Because Nintendo knew this didn’t pose a problem, they decided not to change it.
