In this game, Donkey Kong swings around from different pegs using the L and R buttons. He can do a jump from the ground by pressing L and R together. He can also do a dash attack by hitting A that allows him to jump further, break barrels, and defeat enemies. He can collect gems and for every 100, he gets a crystal star that allows him to go into a berserk mode that makes him invincible and fly.

In this game, Donkey Kong swings around from different pegs using the L and R buttons. He can also hold both buttons down together to charge up and attack his foe. Along the way Donkey Kong collects bananas (the limit being 300 at a time). By pressing B he can fill one of his hearts for ten bananas. Alternatively he can press A which makes him invincible and gives him a speed boost as well.
 
 
He can also team up with Diddy Kong who rides on Donkey's back. Diddy can be thrown from DK's back by using a dash attack consecutively. This allows Diddy to strike distant enemies, items, or collect items out of Donkey's reach. With Diddy, special items can also be collected. Among these are a hammer that Diddy swings around in an arc to destroy anything. Another is a blowtorch for melting snow, as well as feathers that allow Donkey and Diddy to fly.
 
 
 
The game is also packed with extra features. Several challenge modes, a wireless single-pak versus game, and an unlockable "Cheats Menu". By collecting DK Coins in stages, cheats can be unlocked that will start Donkey with more lives or increase the power of some of his abilities.
