Nintendo Donkey Kong Country Returns Instruction Booklet page 12

When playing a two-player game, please
keep in mind the following game-play
differences from a one-player game.
If your character loses a life, press
balloon and you will return floating in a DK Barrel.
When the barrel touches the other character, it will break and you will be
back in the game. To float toward the other player, shake the Wii Remote and
Nunchuk. You can also bring a character back by breaking a DK Barrel found in
the level.
Note: Balloons will be consumed one per character.
When Diddy Kong is on Donkey Kong's back, all movement is controlled by
Donkey Kong. This includes riding Rambi, Rocket Barrels, Mine Carts, and Diddy
Kong's Barrel Jet (pg. 15). When Diddy Kong is not on Donkey Kong's back,
either character can control Rambi, Rocket Barrels, and Mine Carts.
Both Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong must jump in Rocket Barrels, Mine Carts,
and Blast Barrels to activate them.
If Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong are separated and one character is off screen, the
offscreen character will warp to the on-screen character after a few seconds.

Always explore each level
thoroughly to find all the
secrets. Those pesky Tikis
haven't found everything hidden on this island.

If you get lost, try going right...or was it left?
Maybe up? Sorry—senior moment.

If you are having trouble on a particularly tough stage and lose a
life enough times, a tutorial pig will appear and offer Super Kong's
assistance to complete the stage.
To activate Super Guide, stand in front of the tutorial pig,
press , and follow the on-screen instructions.
Once Super Guide has been activated, press
to regain control. While you will be able to control the
character, you will not be able to collect items. When Super
Guide is used to complete a level, you will only unlock the path to the next
level. You will not be rewarded with any collectibles (pg. 19), and the level
icon will remain red instead of changing to blue. Once you complete the level
on your own, the level icon will turn blue.
Super Kong? Bah, fiddlesticks! I could do a better job with my
eyes tied behind my back! Now, where'd my cane get off to?

Some enemies are too tough to beat with a simple jump.
Try different moves when you encounter a new enemy.
Like ground pound. Or better yet, buy stuff from my shop!
4 Leave no banana behind. If you collect enough of them,
you'll get an extra balloon. l'm not sure exactly how many
bananas you need, because I'm so tough that I only need
one balloon!

That Donkey Kong may be strong, but he's not the only
monkey in the barrel. He'll need Diddy Kong's help to get
to those hard-to-reach places.
