Hello there, and welcome to probably the first joint FAQ in
Gamefaqs history. Today, NickWhiz1 & I will get you through Donkey
Kong Country 2, arguably the best of the DKC series. We'll get you
through all of the tough spots in the game so you can get to K. Rool
and take him down. And like my DKC3 FAQ, it is emulator friendly.
The sections are as follows.
1. Version History
2. The Story (we both have different ideas)
3. Major Characters
4. K. Rool's Kronies
5. Controls
6. Items
7. Barrels of Fun
8. Main Walkthrough (up to Crocodile Cauldron)
9. Bosses
10. Kong Family Establishments
11. Future Plans
12. Copyright Stuff
13. Special Thanks
With all of that said and done, let's begin.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------Section 1: Version History-----------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
This is our first version, joint-wise. We are continually
updating this FAQ until everything is finished. However, if you have
any questions, comments, or suggestions, please email either NickWhiz1
& NickWhiz1@aol.com, or me, VGW Man, at vgw100@hotmail.com. It will
help you, Nick, & me on what you want.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------Section 2: The Story--------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
We both have different views on the DKC2 story. Here is
NickWhiz1's version.
Donkey Kong gulped down the last of his banana milkshake and
sighed happily, his old beach chair creaking as he wriggled his toes in
the sand.
"This is the life," he thought to himself. "The sun beating down
on a clear blue sea, and no pesky banana-thieving Kremlings to worry
about." Lazily he raised a hand to wave at Funky, who was showing off
his surfing expertise out on the waves with the squawking seagulls.
Donkey Kong settled back and closed his eyes, thinking he'd have
a little doze, when he heard the sound of shuffling feet. Before he
knew what was happening, Cranky Kong bopped him on the head with his
cane.
"Yowch!" he exclaimed, glaring at the snickering old ape standing
in front of him.
"Well, well..." said Cranky, "what do you think you're doing
sitting around all day? They won't get much of a game out of this,
will they? I thought you were supposed to be a big star!"
"Even stars get time off," muttered Donkey Kong, rubbing his
head.
"I never did," said Cranky proudly. "Whisking off maidens and
throwing barrels around the place seven days a week, I was. That's how
I got where I am today, you know. Hard work. None of this lazing
around the beach."
"Why don't you go off and pester Diddy or something?" complained
Donkey Kong. "Let me have a bit of piece for once!"
Cranky snorted. "Ha! He's off somewhere with that girlfriend of
his. But still, I can see when I'm not wanted..."
Grumbling to himself, Cranky shambled off down the beach, leaving
Donkey Kong to pull his hat over his eyes, sink down into his beach
chair and slowly drift to sleep.
When night fell and their big buddy still hadn't returned, Diddy
and Dixie Kong got worried and went to look for him. As they reached
the beach, they saw hundreds of strange looking footprints that led
from the sea to form a big circle around the spot where Donkey Kong's
chair lay, smashed to pieces.
"Kremlings!" Diddy gasped in horror.
On top of the bits of chair they found a note:
__________________________________________
|To the yellow bellied, land-lubing Kong |
|Family: |
| |
|Har-arrrrh! We got the big monkey! |
| |
|If you want him back, you scurvy dogs, |
|you'll have to hand over the banana hoard!|
| |
| Kaptain K. Rool |
|__________________________________________|
"I thought we'd seen the last of that old rascal for a while,"
sighed Wrinkly Kong, Cranky's good-natured, old wife, when the rest of
the family had read the ransom note.
"Well," grunted Cranky. "I suppose we'd better give him the
bananas, hadn't we?"
Diddy was shocked. "After all we did to get them back last time?
Donkey Kong would go crazy if he lost his bananas again!"
"Got any better ideas, you young whippersnapper?" demanded the
old ape.
"We've got to rescue him, of course!" said Diddy and Dixie
together.
But Cranky just laughed. "Oh really? And who exactly is 'we',
hmmm?"
"Count me out, dudes," said Funky quickly, backing away from the
group. "I hate adventures."
"I think I'm a bit old for that sort of thing," said Wrinkly
apologetically.
"And I'm sure as spit not gonna do it," snapped Cranky. "Not
that I'm past my prime, mind you-I could still do a better job than the
rest of you put together-but I wouldn't be seen dead in a game that
scrolls and has bonus levels and end bosses!"
"What about me?!" asked Diddy, stamping his foot. "I went with
Donkey on his last adventure! Why can't I do it?!"
"You?" laughed Cranky. "You've only been in one game, and you
didn't even get your name in the title! You think that makes you a
hero?"
Diddy looked discouraged, but Dixie was quick to stand up for
him. "Give him a chance-he could be a better hero than you ever were,"
she challenged.
Cranky scowled. "You think so, do you? You think he can make
his way through all those Kremlings and all those traps, all by
himself?"
"He won't be by himself," she replied. "I'm going with him."
Diddy stared at her and she stared defiantly back.
"But it's dangerous!" he protested.
"You're not scared, are you?"
"Of course I'm not!"
"Well, neither am I. Don't try to argue-if you're going, I'm
going with you."
Diddy sighed. He knew a hopeless argument when he saw one. But
still, he was Donkey's only hope! Of course, if he managed to rescue
his big buddy, he'd become a real video game hero, too! Could he ask
for a better chance to prove himself?
Cranky was looking them over shrewdly. "All right," he said.
"If you somehow get back safely from this and bring back that good-for-
nothing Donkey with you, I'll admit that maybe you have what it takes
after all. But if you don't, there will never be more that cheap cameo
roles for you in the future, my boy."
Diddy stood straight and proud, ready for his new quest. "I'll
bring him back, you'll see!" he declared.
The others offered him encouragement. Wrinkly gave him a warm
smile, while Funky offered his hand for a high-five. "Go for it,
little dude!"
And as soon as the sun rose again, the brave young pair set out.
My version of the story is below. It covers a bit of the DKC TV
show and Donkey Kong Land 1 for Gameboy.
Donkey & Diddy Kong were celebrating on Kongo Bongo (the place
where they live; I'm following the TV show here). It was a happy time.
Cranky got a new wife who is in schooling (that's Wrinkly), Diddy has a
new girlfriend (Dixie), Candy got a new job somewhere else in the world
(she only appears in DKC1 for some reason), & King K. Rool has been
beaten TWICE (DKC1 & DKL1).
However, Cranky doubts that Diddy was a hero from the past two
adventures.
"It was Donkey Kong who did all of the work, shrimp," Cranky
said, well, crankily.
"I found some of those bonus areas you mentioned in your cryptic
clues, Cranky," Diddy interrupted.
"Well, to prove you are a real hero, I have a challenge for you,"
Cranky continued. "There is some island where K. Rool's Gangplank
Galleon went. I have hidden 40 DK coins there. Find them all & I'll
consider you a hero."
"I don't need to get your coins to prove I'm a hero," Diddy said.
"He's right," Donkey put in. "I'm going for a walk. See ya
later."
When Donkey left, Dixie blurted out; "He's probably seeing Candy,
his girlfriend."
"Again," Cranky said.
Speaking of K. Rool, where is he? He is hidden in the Lost
World, a secret spot on the exact same island as the one with the DK
coins. The Kremling King had some words to say.
"Attention, my repulsive reptilians. Donkey Kong is right now
alone, out in the open, defenseless. We'll ambush him, capture him, &
keep him until those maniac monkeys give me the entire banana hoard.
Then I can make my invincible potion I have been trying to make (the
potion is in the DKC1 story)."
It all works too well. Donkey Kong was taken to the island.
When Cranky & crew heard of it, they formulated a plan. Cranky would
try to setup a couple of monkey museums in case Diddy gets stuck.
Wrinkly would set up some Kong Colleges so Diddy can save their status
and learn a thing or two. Funky would bring his Funky's Flights
service over at the island so Diddy could travel to other worlds-for a
one-time down payment, of course. And Bluster (TV show reference;
works at barrel factory) will watch over the banana hoard while
everyone was gone. Everything was set, except for one thing. Dixie.
"I want to go with you, Diddy," she said without embarrassment.
"In my day, the girls were the damsels in distress, not some
bumbling heroines," Cranky continued to mouth off.
"You underestimate her too much, Old Timer," Funky finally says
something. "Let here hang 10 with Diddy Dude and find Donkey Dude."
"Oh, all right," Cranky gave in. "But if you want to head back
home while you are helping Diddy, that's fine."
"I'm not scared at all," Dixie told Cranky. "Come on, Diddy. We
have the future ruler of Kongo Bongo to save."
As you can see, we both have different views on the DKC2 story.
If you have any questions about either story, please email the author
of the story.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------Section 3: Major Characters----------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I will only cover the main characters in this game, not the minor
enemies you find around (that's the next section). Here they are in
alphabetical order.
Cranky-The Old Timer has set up Monkey Museums around the island and
for a price will give you a cryptic hint.
Diddy-The returning hero from the past two adventures has the know-how
to stop the opposition.
Dixie-The heroine of the game can use her ponytail to glide past
obstacles, making her a valuable asset of the team.
Donkey-He has been captured by K. Rool, & you must rescue him. I think
Cranky wants Dixie & Donkey to trade places so that Dixie is the damsel
in distress.
Funky-Most arguably the coolest Kong in Kongo Bongo, Funky can get you
to where you want in his plane. Just pay the down payment of two
banana coins and you are set.
King K. Rool-The Kremling King is holding DK ransom and wants every
single banana in the world. If anyone disobeys him, they must meet his
blunderbuss.
Klubba-Arrg! He guards thee entrance to thee Lost World. Only those
who pickup enough booty can see the big treasure. Those who are short
must walk the plank and be sent to Davy Jones's locker.
Wrinkly-Cranky's wife is a lot quieter than Cranky, & has set up Kong
Colleges around the area. She will teach you techniques for a small
price. Some things are for free.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------Section 4: K. Rool's Kronies----------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
NickWhiz1 got the names and the descriptions of them, but I'll
arrange them by category, and then by alphabetical order to make it
easier for you. The only thing I took out were the bosses, but you can
find them in the Boss section.
Kruel Kremlings:
Kaboing: The Kremling that bounces around.
Kaboom: The Kremling inside the TNT barrels.
Kackle: The Kremling ghost in Haunted Hall.
Kannon: The Kremling with the cannon.*
Klampon: The Kremling that chomps.
Klank: The Kremling on the roller coaster areas.
Klinger: The Kremling who hangs around on ropes and chains.
Kloak: The coated Kremling ghost.
Klobber: The Kremling inside the barrels.
Klomp: The Kremling with the wooden leg.
Klubba: The big, green Kremling guarding the passage to the Lost World.
Krook: The Kremling with the hooks for hands.
Kruncha: The big, blue Kremling.
Kutlass: The Kremling with two swords.
Creepy Crawlies:
Cat-O'-9-Tails: The spinning cat with 9 tails (should be 9 lives)
Click-Clack: The beetle.
Flitter: The dragonfly.
KrocHead: The crocodile heads in the water/lava.

Flotsam: The stingray.
Lockjaw: The red piranha.
Puftup: The puffer fish.
Shuri: The starfish.
Snapjaw: The purple piranha.
*: The Kremling holding the cannon is actually Klump from DKC1. Just
so I won't confuse the harmless cannon and the harmful "Kannon", I'll
call the former "Cannon" and the latter "Klump".

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------Section 6: Items----------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
No, this section doesn't cover barrels. They have a section of
their own. These are the non-barrel items that are around the area.
Again, I arranged them alphabetically.
Animal Crates: Release and ride the animal buddy on the crate.
Balloons: Extra lives. The red one is one life, the green one is two
lives, and the blue ones are three lives. Blue balloons are rare and
tough to get...
Bananas: Collect 100 for an extra life.
Banana Bunches: Each bunch is worth ten bananas. Get 10 for an extra
life.
Banana Coin: Found in different numbers. Use them at any of the Kong
Family establishments. Very useful, especially when you have to pay
them to save your game!!!
Cannons and Cannonballs: Find the cannonball, then take it to a cannon
to blast away to a bonus stage.
Crates: Use them like a normal barrel.
Goal Target: If you jump high enough on the target, you'll get the
displayed prize. Same items as in a treasure chest, except no
Kremkoins.
Hero/DK Coin: Hidden one per stage by Cranky Kong (40 in all). Collect
them to prove to Cranky that Diddy is a true video game hero. Be
careful: Some are hidden in bonus levels......
Hot Air Balloon: Found only in Red-Hot Ride. Use the hot air steam to
keep it afloat.
KONG Letters: Hidden in each stage. Collect all 4 in a stage for an
extra life.
Kremcoin: One per bonus stage and boss (except Lost World). Collect 15
to access one of the Lost World stages via Klubba's Kiosk. Each one
leads to a different level. Collect all 75 to access all of the Lost
World stages and open up the final boss.
No Animal Sign: Go past it and the animal will disappear, but it will
leave behind an item, from bananas to even a DK Coin!
Treasure Chests: Contain bananas, banana coins, extra lives, letters
Kremkoins, and even a DK Coin in one case.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------Section 7: Barrels of Fun-----------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Since there are so many barrels, they deserve a section of their
own. Look at them below.
*Animal Barrel: You will turn into the animal shown.
*Barrel Cannons: There are three kinds. Find out about them below.
Arrow: These will send you in the direction the arrow is pointing.
Blast: These have some kind of mark on them. Land in them and you
will be sent in a predetermined direction.
Normal: Sometimes these spin around. You choose when you are shot
out, so aim carefully.
*Bonus Barrel: Enter it to be blasted to a bonus stage.
*Check and X Barrels: Found in Target Terror. Check opens the gates, X
closes them.
*Continue (Star) Barrel: This is the continue point in the level.
*Diddy and Dixie Barrels: These only shoot when the appropriate
character enters it.
*DK Barrel: Break this to releases your partner if you lost him/her.
*Exclamation Mark (!) Barrel: Gives you temporary invincibility.
*Normal Barrel: Just throw it around.
*Plane Barrel: You borrow this from Funky. Go to any level you've
already beaten, or go between worlds.
*Plus and Minus Barrels: Found in Haunted Hall. Plus adds time, minus
takes it away.
*Rotating Barrel: Rotate it in any one of the eight directions. Shoot
out when you want or you will automatically shoot out if you run out of
time.
*Steer-able Barrel: Maneuver it any way you want. Use the same shooting
procedure with the rotating barrel.
*TNT Barrel: These explode when they contact a wall or enemy. The
explosion can take out others nearby as well.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------Section 8: Main Walkthrough----------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: Like DKC3, I have played both the EMU and the home version.
Mostly everything is the same, but on the EMU version, sometimes the
background comes to the foreground and such. I will tell you which
background toggle button to press in that kind of situation (either 1,
2, or 3; NOT the keypad). Now that we got that out of the way, enter
the first world.
***********************************************************************
**********************World 1: Gangplank Galleon***********************
***********************************************************************
I should let you guys know right now that sometimes I might start
each stage like a mission briefing on Goldeneye for N64. Now, for your
first mission, Secret Agents D (Dixie) & B (Diddy: he's a boy), head
into the first stage and practice your new moves.
#######################################################################
#######################################################################
Stage 1: Pirate Panic
Enemies: Klobber, Klomp, Neek
Animal Buddies: Rambi (Ride)
This is a relatively easy stage. First of all, move to the right
and enter the cabin for an extra life (or do the Kremcoin trick; see in
the Tricks section). When you leave, practice your rolling ability on
the Neeks that you see. Practice your jumping ability on the Klomps
you see and on the big barrels that you can stand on. Don't forget to
pick up the barrels you can pick up and throw them accurately. When
you see the bananas form the letter A, press it. Your partner will
ride piggyback style on you (you do have your partner, right?).
Release him/her with Y and a direction (say, Y and up). Get the banana
coin with this method.
Past the continue barrel you will find Rambi in a crate. While
he can still dish out punishment, you must now activate his super-
charge move to bust open some walls. Very soon you will see a No Rambi
sign. Trying to bring him past the sign will make him go away-but you
get a green balloon for doing so, so bring him over there.
The end targets work a little bit differently than DKC1 & DKC3.
There is an item above the target that changes into another item every
second or so. To get an item, you must jump from a high ledge so that
when you hit the target, the little cylinder thing will be propelled
towards the item (it's like the test your strength games at fairs). In
this case, the high ledge is a barrel you can stand on. The "prizes"
this time are a red balloon, a banana bunch, a banana coin, and a
banana bunch in that order. If you get a prize, you see either Diddy
jamming with a boom box or Dixie playing the electric guitar. Good
luck!
Bonus Areas:
1. Past the halfway barrel is a hole in the ship. Fall in it and move
to the right. You will be blasted upwards off of the screen, but
will get the N.
Kind: Find
Time: 20
The "Find the Token" stages are some of the most varied bonus
stages in this game. There are different kinds of Find the Token
games, and this one is the very basic one. All you have to do is jump
on the barrels to the Kremcoin. Since you have SO much time, go to the
right first for an extra banana coin.
NickWhiz1 has done some ASCII for this bonus stage and others.
In this one, "S" is where you start, "B" is where the banana coin is,
and "K" is where the Kremcoin is. Note that his (or my) ASCII drawings
will be to scale, so I hope you understand.
____K_
___
___ B
___
_S___________________
2. Past the Rambi crate you will soon find a crate. If you have
Rambi, go left and super-charge the wall in front. If you are
Rambi-less, bring the crate over to the left wall.
Kind: Bash
Time: 20
I will not (I repeat-NOT) call these stages "Destroy them All"
because I think "Bash the Baddies" sounds better (but NickWhiz1 does
call them DtA). Remember that Bash = Destroy. Anyway, Rambi is here
in this stage in case you lost him. Just run into the enemies to kill
them. If you hit an enemy's underside, you will be sent out of the
stage. However, you can access it again (In DKC1, one attempt per life
is all you got).
For NickWhiz1's ASCII (edited a bit), "S" is the starting
position, "R" is where you can find Rambi if you enter the stage
without him, "N" shows a Neek, "K" shows a Klomp, and "C" is the
Kremcoin.
__K_ _N_
__N__ _N_ ___K__ ___K__
__S__R___________________K___________________________________C_
DK Coin: From the crate, jump on the barrel stack to the right, and
from there, jump to the coin. This is an easy one.
Warp Barrel: At the beginning of the stage are four big barrels you can
stand on. Get on the first one, team-up, and throw your partner
upwards.
#######################################################################
#######################################################################
In between stages, I put my comments in. If you got through that
stage, you have learned some basics and have used them properly. If
you got a game over in that stage, maybe you should consider playing
Pong or Pac-Man.
The next stage will make you learn the ropes (literally), so the
next stage is perfect for practicing your climbing skills. EMU users,
though, must press key # 3 so that the black clouds go away.
#######################################################################
#######################################################################
Stage 2: Mainbrace Mayhem
Enemies: Click-Clack, Klinger, Klomp, Neek
Ah, the outdoors! While there is a nice starboard wind, you will
end up being blown away if you can't master climbing. However, other
Kremlings are practicing climbing as well, but they can hurt you, so
don't run into them. Click-Clacks are all around the area, but they
take two hits to defeat. You can also use them as a barrel after they
took one hit, but be careful, for they can quickly come to their senses
and knock out yours (in other words, don't hold them too long). Also,
the Klingers can be jumped on, but it's very difficult to do so. In
the worlds of Teddy Roosevelt, speak softly and carry...forget about
the phrase. Just move slowly, and you will go far.
Bonus Areas:
1. At the start, roll-jump under the upper mast and grab on to the
rope (to roll-jump, press Y to roll, and while you are in midair,
press B to jump). Jump to the bonus barrel from here.
Kind: Find
Time: 20
As long as you don't fall off the ropes, you should be fine.
ASCII-wise, "S" is the start, "K" is the Kremcoin this time, and "b" is
a banana. If we missed a banana, let us know.

2. Past the halfway barrel is a cannon ball. Bring it left to the
cannon. Load the cannon and jump in.
Kind: Bash
Time: 35
Five Klingers are climbing ropes above you. You have three
options (two if you are short a Kong). You can either use the cannon
ball right next to you, the crates on top of the masts, or (only if you
have both Kongs) launch your partner from below them. However, if they
hit you and you did NOT launch your partner, it's over.
In the ASCII below, "S" is where you start, "K" shows a Klinger,
"C" is the Kremcoin, "c" is the crate, "B" is the barrel, and "b" is
the cannonball.

3. The ASCII below shows my (NOT NickWhiz1's) [in]famous ASCII art.
I'm trying to show you where the third bonus stage is. This is NOT
drawn to scale (none of them are), but I'll try my best. In the
diagram below, the dashes (like "|" & "-" are used for the ropes.
"G" is the ground above the ropes. "b" is a lone banana, while "B"
is the bonus barrel. Any plus signs indicate a border in the
diagram (not the stage itself). Note, though, that you must use
Dixie to get to the ground, and you need both Kongs to enter
because it's too high for one to jump up there (aren't you glad
that Rare has incorporated this feature?).

Kind: Stars
Time: 35
How many stars: 75
These "Collect the Stars" bonus stages have a simple goal:
collect the stars. However, they don't tell you how many stars you
need (Nick & I went through the trouble to do that). You might think
that getting 75 stars in 35 seconds is not easy, so here is a little
hint. Hold Y while on the ropes so you move faster. In the ASCII
below, the horizontal ropes couldn't be put up because there wasn't
room. "S" is the start, "K" is the Kremcoin, & "*" is a star.

DK Coin: You will land to the left of the coin if you came from either
Bonus Stage # 3 or the warp barrel (see below). Head right and jump
the gap to get it. When you fall down the gap, you will get an extra
life balloon cause that's the one shown on the end-of-level target.
Warp barrel: At the start, glide under the platform you are on (you
need Dixie for this).
#######################################################################

Think of a Disney movie. (Wait a minute) Okay, now. Did any of
you pick Peter Pan? Do you remember that the bad guy was Captain James
Hook? Well, you are about to enter a stage that would make Oh Mighty
Clock-O-Dile happy.
#######################################################################
#######################################################################
Stage 3: Gangplank Galley
Enemies: Kaboing, Klomp, Kruncha, Neek, Zinger
Hooks are galore in this stage. In order to grab one, just touch
one. While you can't hold on to barrels while you are on a hook, they
are still useful enough so that you won't slip off them and fall into a
bottomless pit.
This is also the first stage that house invincibility barrels and
treasure chests. Treasure chests break when an enemy runs into one (or
you throw one at them). Sometimes it takes many enemies to crack open
the chest. Invincibility barrels, well, make you invincible. It lasts
about 20-30 seconds, so run into as many foes as you can, mainly the
Krunchas. If you can't, throw a barrel, a chest, or even your partner
at him.
Bonus Areas:
1. The first bonus barrel is at the start. Jump on the big barrels to
reach it.
Kind: Find
Time: 10
This is a different kind of "Find" stage. One chest has a coin,
but there are four chests in all, and one Zinger. You think it's
either a hit or miss situation, right? WRONG! The Zinger is red, so
it can take the pounding of even more than four treasure chest hits.
Just throw them at him like crazy, but aim correctly.
In Nick's ASCII below, "S" is where you start, "Z" is the Zinger,
"C" is a chest, & "K" is where the Kremcoin will appear if you throw
the right chest at the Zinger.
Z
_S__C___C___C___C___K_
2. In the similar words of the Not-So-Great Cranky (He kidnapped
Mario's old girlfriend, Pauline, in New York, but that's another
story): "Those big blue baboons ain't guarding that stack of
barrels for nothin'. Knock them out and get up there!" You either
need the invincibility barrel, or the team-up attack. The location
is past the G (in a chest).
Kind: Find
Time: 15
Keep on moving, but don't fall off the hooks. The ASCII below
shows where the hooks are (they are the letter "H"). "S" & "K" are
still the same.

DK Coin: Like Bonus Area # 1, it's at the beginning. Stand under the
first Bonus Barrel and look at the upper-right hand corner of your
screen. It's a hook. Either roll-jump your way their or try to team-
up to the hook. Once you grab it, it's one or two more hooks away.
Warp Barrel: This is also at the beginning of the stage. While on the
middle barrel stack, team-up and throw your partner upwards.

Swimming stages have become like a tradition in most action
games, and DKC2 keeps up that tradition. However, the creatures here
won't get along with you...swimmingly (laughs).
#######################################################################
#######################################################################
Stage 4: Lockjaw's Locker
Enemies: Flotsam, Klomp, Lockjaw, Shuri
Animal Buddies: Enguarde (ride)
DO NOT ask us who Lockjaw is. He is covered in the K. Rool's
Kronies section. In case you did skip that section, he is an
orange/reddish piranha with a mean bite. Once he sees you, he will
chomp three times before charging towards the spot you were at. When
you see him chomp, MOVE IT! The water in this stage also rises and
falls, so some parts of the stage will be on land.
Enguarde is also in this level-twice! Lockjaws guard both of the
crates closely, and if you want the special stuff in this stage, you
should find Enguarde's crates. Take it easy.
Bonus Area: After the "K", stay close to the bottom of the screen.
Find a Lockjaw that's guarding a hole. Distract him and enter the hole
to find Enguarde. Now, take a secret passage in the upper-right hand
part of this room to head back in the main field. When you enter the
main field, continue to move up. You will soon see bananas in the
shape of the letter A, so hold A to supercharge Enguarde & let go to
bust open the right wall (where the banana is).
Kind: Find
Time: 40
There are many dead ends that lead to bananas, a few dead ends
that lead nowhere, and even fewer paths that lead to the Kremcoin. The
path I recommend is right, up, right, right, up, right, up, up, right.
The ASCII below isn't fully accurate, but it should give you a general
idea about the stage.

DK Coin: I thought that ASCII is needed here, so I went through the
trouble. "E" is you (as Enguarde), "b" are bananas, "w" is the water
level at first, & "W" is the water level after trying to cross the gap.
If you get across (hint: try super stabbing), you will reach the coin.
This ASCII also introduces X's. They stand for "X-Tra space". X-Tra
space will be used often in interior stages like this one.

reach the barrel.

Storms can kill people. We all know that. While there is a
storm in the next stage, it won't attack you like DKC3's Lightning
Lookout stage.
#######################################################################
#######################################################################
Stage 5: Topsail Trouble
Enemies: Click-Clack, Flitter, Neek, Kaboing, Klinger, Klomp, Kruncha,
Zinger
Animal Friends: Rattly (ride)
Rattly the snake is in a crate at the beginning of the stage. He
has amazing jumping abilities, including a super jump. He can even
jump in midair (no double jump). Ah, if only you could keep him
throughout the whole level. Even if you brought him through the warp
barrel, he will still go away when you leave (BOO!).
My storm comment is for the rain in this stage. While it doesn't
effect game play at all, EMU-users who don't want to see rain can turn
off sprite 3.
Bonus Areas:
1. The bonus barrel is close to the area in my ASCII picture below.
"E" is an enemy Kremling, while "B" is a bonus barrel. Again, in
case you forgot, plus signs mark the boundaries for the ASCII.
Also, there are no plus signs on the right side of the screen
because that is a true stage boundary. Note that if you don't have
Rattly at this point, you need both Kongs.

In case you lost Rattly, he is in this bonus stage. Just jump on
the six Flitters with Rattly and you have done it. In the ASCII
itself, "S" is the start, "K" is the Kremcoin, "F" is a Flitter, & "R"
is where you can find Rattly if you came here without him.

2. Past the halfway barrel are two Flitters. Next to the right
Flitter is an invisible hook. Grab on to it and jump on the
Flitters to the left. You'll land in the barrel.
Kind: Find
Time: 15
It's the same arena as Mainbrace Mayhem's "Collect the Stars"
stage, except there are four Flitters around. In the ASCII below, "S"
& "K" are still the same. "F" is a Flitter, & < F > shows each
Flitter's path.

Before you head to the Boss, go see Swanky Kong. He gives you a
trivia quiz for a few banana coins, and if you get all three right, you
get an extra life. IF you get even one question wrong, then you must
start all over from the beginning and pay the correct amount of coins.
You can find the answers to his questions in the "Kong Family
Establishments" section.
Now it's time to take on Krow. If you have some difficulties
with him, check the Boss section. Once Krow is gone, head to the next
world, Crocodile Cauldron.
***********************************************************************
**********************World 2: Crocodile Cauldron**********************
***********************************************************************
As you know, we should never go into volcanoes. They are too
hot! However, Secret Agents D & B must infiltrate the island from
Kremlings everywhere, and that includes volcanoes.
#######################################################################
#########################Stage 1: Hot-Head Hop#########################
#######################################################################
For a volcano stage, this is a basic one, so perfect some of your
skills some more. In the words of Cranky, "Is it just me, or is there
one chest at the start?" There are two chests, but you must team-up
and throw your partner up above the start for the other one. Inside it
is a green balloon, so make sure you get it. It's pretty basic until
the halfway point.
This is also the first stage where you meet Squitter the spider.
Like most other spiders, he can "build" webs and fire "silky thread" at
his enemies. Bananas shaped in letters will help you remember what key
is what.
Bonus Areas:
1. Under the letter "O" is a chest containing a cannonball. Break the
chest and carry the cannonball to the cannon further to the right.
Kind: Stars
Time: 20
How many stars: 60
Just keep your balance on the crocodiles and you should do fine.
2. You will reach an area close to the ASCII below. "b" stands for
banana while "B" is the bonus barrel. Note that you need Squitter
because the bonus barrel is higher than even the Kongs' team-up
move can reach.
+ B+

Just build your web bridges up and you will do fine.
3. Two Klaptons (small, blue Kremlings with razor-sharp teeth) guard
the final bonus barrel before the No Squitter sign. Either use
Squitter's web bridges, or team-up to reach it.
Kind: Find
Time: 20
This is like Bonus Stage # 2, except it's a horizontal stage, not
vertical. Use the same strategy to succeed.
DK Coin: From where you find Squitter, build web bridges upwards to
find it.
#######################################################################
#######################################################################
All of you trivia buffs out there, listen up. What did the
original Donkey Kong throw at Mario? Barrels. What item had the most
varied uses in DKC1? Barrels. What is the name of the next stage?
No, it's not Barrel Blast. There is another name for this stage, but
the name stars an enemy instead.
#######################################################################
########################Stage 2: Kannon's Klaim########################
#######################################################################
So, who is Kannon? Well, he is Klump (from DKC1) who holds a
cannon that fires all sorts of stuff. He'll be referred to me as
Klump, not Kannon. Glad we got that settled.
The reason why I suggested Barrel Blast as a stage is because
there are so many barrels here. And there are A LOT. Since the entire
stage is mainly vertical, you can easily fall back down to the
beginning of the stage (& we don't want that, now do we?). Use Dixie's
glide move a lot so you fall a bit slower (it doesn't always work,
though). Again, take your time. EMU users, while you don't have any
background problems, I suggest that you save your state each time you
land on land. Then, if you fall down, you can load the state and
continue onward.
Bonus Areas:
1. Change to Dixie and glide over the right pit at the start.
Kind: Find
Time: 30
This is the first time in the game where you see character
barrels. You must constantly change characters in order to go in some
of the barrels (after all, Diddy can't go in Dixie's barrel). Or, you
can keep the same character, and just throw your partner into the
barrel. The result is the same.
2. When you reach the second DK barrel past the continue barrel,
switch to Dixie. Jump off the left-hand side of the platform and
glide to the barrel. If you have jumped high enough and glide at
the apex of the jump, you'll make it.
Kind: Find
Time: 25
The bananas will point you towards the wrong way, so just head
from one arrow barrel to another.
3. When you reach the chest that has the "G" inside of it, fall down
the right side of the platform. If you land on Klump, you won't
lose a Kong on the way to the barrel.
Kind: Find
Time: 10
The only way to get the coin is to hop on the Flitters, so don't
mess up.
DK Coin: It's in Bonus Stage # 1. While playing as Dixie, roll jump
off the right-hand side of the platform you are on at the start to
reach it.
#######################################################################
#######################################################################
Since Crocodile Cauldron is a volcano, it has lava in it.
However, some ended up in another sunken ship. Since you don't have
lava suits, you must make do with your wits.
#######################################################################
#########################Stage 3: Lava Lagoon##########################
#######################################################################
As I said, some lava ended up in a sunken ship. Fortunately,
Clapper the seal hangs around here. Jump on him and his freezing
breath will make the water more manageable-for a limited time. When
the water starts to change colors, GET OUT OF THERE! A burnt monkey is
as good as a dead monkey, so always get to shore whenever possible.
Think of this stage like DKC3's Riverside Race: Unlike the other
stages, MOVE IT! EMU users should save their state before jumping on a
Clapper.
Bonus Area: Past the No Enguarde sign is a barrel. Use it on the big
crate below.
Kind: Bash
Time: 35
You should be lucky that this bonus room doesn't have lava, so
wail away at the enemies as Enguarde.
DK Coin: At the third Clapper after the continue barrel, hold downright
to access a secret alcove. Hit the invincibility barrel and swim up to
the coin. Quickly swim up and left to get out of the water before the
invincibility wears off.
#######################################################################
#######################################################################
There have been many balloonists over the years. Gases have
powered most of the balloons. The balloons in the next stage, though,
are powered by something else.
#######################################################################
#########################Stage 4: Red-Hot Ride#########################
#######################################################################
At first, the stage seems like Hot-Head Hop. However, when you
reach the balloons, it becomes a whole other adventure. You can
control which direction it goes, but not the speed. These balloons are
powered by steam from the volcano, so try to steer the balloon towards
it whenever you can. There is one major exception, though. At the
end, there are three Zingers over three steam vents. What you must do
is enter the first steam vent as low as you can.
EMU users will have a little bit of trouble here. While on land,
it's okay, but on the balloons, you must turn off sprite 2 so you can
see the bottoms of the vents. EMU users can also turn off sprite 1 if
they wish while riding so they can see the tops of some vents, but that
is optional. However, sprite 2 is a must on balloons.
Bonus Areas:
1. Free Rambi early in the level and ride the balloon to the right of
him. If you haven't lost him when you reach shore, supercharge the
right wall.
Kind: Bash
Time: 15
My advice this time is to move it. While on Rambi, you can't
really get hurt unless you hit an enemy's underside, but that's almost
impossible in this stage, so just get through to the other side.
2. This one is below the continue barrel. Either you can use Dixie
and glide down, or use the balloon to the right of the continue
barrel and move it left.
Kind: Stars
Time: 30
How many stars: 40
EMU users must turn off sprite 2 again. If you have both Kongs,
you can try throwing your buddy to the stars. If Diddy/Dixie doesn't
land on solid ground, he/she will come back to you. Use that technique
if you wish for the stars. You can also get the top ones by jumping.
DK Coin: This is easier said than done. On the balloon next to the
continue barrel is a DK barrel. DON'T THROW IT YET! Heck, don't even
pick it up yet. Move the balloon past the two Flitters that come your
way and you will see two Zingers. NOW throw the barrel at the top
Zinger and land on the balloon he was guarding. Team-up to get the
coin.
#######################################################################
#######################################################################
Often, everyone must try new things. I have tried pizza before,
& I hate it (don't email me about that). However, in the next stage
there is something new you can use...and something new that you DON'T
want to mess with.
#######################################################################
########################Stage 5: Squawk's Shaft########################
#######################################################################
The new thing that is harmful is a Kremling called Krook. He
throws hooks at you, and they return boomerang style, so you can get
hit by it on the way back. The new thing that is harmless is Squawks
the parrot. He no longer carries a flashlight like in DKC1, but
instead will fly both Kongs. Note that even though you are riding on
an animal buddy, the game treats it as if you didn't have an animal
buddy at all. In other words, lose both Kongs to lose a life, no
matter whether Squawks got hit as well.
Bonus Areas:
1. This will be my first full-sized ASCII ever, length-wise. The
ASCII shows two ways to get to the barrel. "B" is the bonus
barrel, "Z" is a Zinger, "K" is Krook, "C" is a chest, & "b" is a
barrel. Note that if you want to take the bottom path to the bonus
barrel, you must roll-jump to another barrel from the ground. This
ASCII is definitely NOT drawn to scale.

You have seven chests, one Zinger, and 20 seconds. The solution?
Throw them quickly.
2. About halfway through the level (but before you reach Squawks) is
an automatic barrel up to the left. Team-up and throw your partner
in it to be shot into the bonus barrel.
Kind: Find
Time: 25
While you can follow the diagonal paths, blasting yourself
upwards actually saves time.
DK Coin & 3. While riding Squawks, you will pass a couple of Neckies.
Past them are two Krooks facing each other. Knock out the right one
and follow the path to the DK Coin and bonus barrel.
Kind: Bash
Time: 30
Since you must stop every enemy, explore everywhere.

Check out Swanky's in case you didn't already. For his first
game, the answers are B, A, A. The second one is C, B, A. The final
one's answers are B, C, C. Now, take out Kleaver. Check out the
Bosses section if you have trouble. Once Kleaver has been in the soup
for the final time, check out Krem Quay.

This and the following worlds will be completed in a later

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------Section 9: Bosses---------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I currently only have Krow & Kleaver, but the rest will be up soon.
Krow: EMU users must turn off sprite 3 because of the black clouds
again. The boss of Gangplank Galleon takes only four hits. When he
sends an egg down to the ground, bounce on it and throw it at Krow.
After hitting him two times, he'll change tactics. He will ram into
the nest, and eggs will keep on falling. When one egg stays on the
ground, pick it up and wham him. Two more hits and he will be dead.
Kleaver: Crocodile Cauldron's boss takes six hits instead of four.
Avoid his three fireballs and throw a cannonball at him. He will
temporarily sink back into the lava, and hooks will pop down. Climb
them to the other side and throw the cannonball on the platform at him.
If it touches a fireball, you will have to wait a moment for another
one to appear. After the third hit, you might think that he's dead,
but he's not. Stay on the left side, and when he is about to spear
you, JUMP OUT OF THE WAY! Head back across to the other side and
attack him with the cannonball. He still throws fireballs and will
occasionally try to spear you. Hit him six times and he'll sink for
good.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------Section 10: Kong Family Establishments-----------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Cranky, Wrinkly, & Swanky Kong all have set up temporary
residence on the island. While doing so, they have set up businesses
for Diddy & Dixie. For the sake of saving you guys banana coins,
NickWhiz1 has got all of the information on what they will tell you
when you do pay. We'll start with Cranky.
Cranky Kong:
Cranky Kong is the Mr. Know-It-All guy around here (much like my
sister, but I won't get into that). For a few coins, he will give you
cryptic clues on where important items are in the game. He won't

coin is. You have been warned. Now, what does he tell you?
