If you choose to play this game in Funky Mode, you get a choice between playing as Funky Kong or Donkey Kong. You can also use a character’s special abilities.
This gives you two extra hearts, giving you a total of four. Other characters can be found in barrels which you can break and they become your companion. If you select original mode you can only play as Donkey Kong. To unlock hard mode, you need to collect every Kong letter in every level of the game. In single-player, you can only play as the other Kong’s in hard mode. These characters have all of Donkey Kong’s basic abilities, but they have some of their own extra abilities as well. In two-player mode player one always plays as Donkey Kong, however, player two can play as Diddy Kong, Dixie Kong or Cranky Kong. You can either play this game solo or in two-player co-op mode. You press A on the item you want to take in and then you press Y once you’re done. If these items are available it might make the level a little bit easier. In your inventory this is where you select items that you want to take into the level with you.

You use the left stick or d pad to run around and then press A when you’re on the level that you want to enter. In the world map you don’t need as many controls. You need to hold ZL or ZR, cling on to them and then press A or B to jump between them. An example of this would be when you’re jumping between vines. There are some situations in the game where you need to be able to hold down ZL or ZR and then press A or B. You also need to be able to hold buttons. At times during gameplay you will need to be able to double tap buttons, such as A or B. You can then go back into your game with your new controller layout. Go down to controls and select the controller you’re using.

The Kong that you have as your companion will determine what the enemy turns into. This turns enemies that you’re near to into items. Pressing L and R at the same time activates your Kong Pow.
