K. Rool is back and he has ape-napped the Kongs! Now, only Donkey Kong is left to rescue the Kongs and retrieve his prized collection of Golden Bananas from the evil clutches of K. Rool. Play your way through the massive single player adventure or duke it out with your friends in a battle with up to four players. In your adventure you will have to rescue the other Kongs, Tiny, Lanky, Diddy, and Chunky. Each Kong has its own special moves and unique weapons. You'll have to conquer hundreds of mini-games and collect bananas, gold bananas and coins to continue your journey. To earn those distinctive moves and weapons you'll need to collect lots of coins. But don't forget that to continue your journey you need to feed Troff and Scoff, the gatekeepers, with plenty of bananas! Make your way through places such as Jungle Japes and the Frantic Factory, each area having its own monsters and traps.

In the beginning of the game, just outside of DK's shower you will find a picture of Banjo and Kazooie.

Receive the following numbers of coins to receive these moves:

3 coins - Simian Slam
3 coins - Baboon Blast (Press Z to use the Donkey Kong Launch Pad)
7 coins - Gorilla Grab (press B to activate levers)
5 coins - Strong Kong (press Z+left C to deactivate)
7 coins - Super Duper Simian Slam (Super strong version of the Simian Slam. Allows greater shockwave distance and
power)

To get the last K. Lumsy key, you need the Nintendo coin and the Rareware coin. When you have both, there is a door in Hideout Helm you can open with the two coins. After you open it there will be a banana fairy and the last key.

First you need to have Tiny and need to have her abillity to shrink in size. When you have all of that, get Tiny and swim to the island that looks like a big fairy. Look to the side of that island and there should be a Tiny barrel. Jump inside and you will shrink. Run to the front of the fairy and there is a hole. Go inside and there will be a big bannana fairy. Talk to her to get the camera.

To get the Nintendo Coin you need to go to the original Donkey Kong mini-game. If you beat 4 levels with one life you will get
a golden banana. If you beat it again you will get the Nintendo coin.

To get this coin, you need to get 5000 points in the arcade game Jetpack.

To instantly stop while swimming press C-up.

In the level in K.Rool's ship, Have D.K. learn the move of pulling a lever (from Cranky). Then go down the crates, left, up a rope (that's wooden), then follow the pipes to a room with a lever. You will see an arcade machine next to the lever. Pull the lever then the arcade machine will turn on. You are now playing the original Donkey Kong.

To refill your health, jump in a Tag Barrel to change your character. When you come out, your health will be full.

After you return all 40 of Snide's blueprints he will open a bonus menu. Here you can play the mini-games that you played before to collect golden bananas.

In Jungle Japes, with DK, go to the mountain and shoot the three switches. Diddy's cage will open.

In Angry Aztec, with DK, first free the Llama from it's cage by completeing DK's Barrel Blast. In the temple you'll see the Llama again. Play DK's drums to turn the lava into water. Swim across to reach Lanky.

In Angry Aztec, with Diddy, go into the temple and jump from one platform to another. Shoot the target across the room, then go to the bridge and play Diddy's Guitar to melt the ice pond. Swim to Tiny's chamber and use Chimpy Charge to activate the letters and spell out KONG.
