Glitch

Go to Creepy castle and take chunky to the big tree. smash down the wall and go on the green stuff.turn to your side and throw an orange. the orange should go thru the wall. this doesn't do anything, its just cool

How to get Lanky Kong

First what you must do is you have to free the llama from his cage by beating Donkey kongs barrel blast. Then once you have done that you go to the building with the Llama's head on it. Once you have entered the building you will see the Llama sleeping on a ledge(you must be Donkey kong to do this). Then you jump onto the Llama and play the Bongo drums. The Llama will then sneeze into the lava and the lava will turn into water and then you swim under and you will see him.



Secret Area

Go into multi-player mode in monkey smash, choose the area with the big tree in the middle. Go to the moat and swim against the side till your head is the wall. Keep swimming
till you go through the wall, then press C up.
you should be swimming underneath the ground.

WARNING:You may get stuck in the new area.

Hidden Passages

If you go to the two player mode and choose monkey smash,(The one with the giant tree in the middle) go up to all the walls and you should find that you can go through walls at jungle japes and frantic factory. It's a great way to beat your friends while playing because they won't ever know where you are.

Floor Glitch

Ahh, yet another mind-boggling glitch has been found in yet another famous game!  Go to Crystal Caves with Donkey Kong, go to the #2 warp (if you haven't gone through the waterfall, go through it and climb up the rock "steps" to get to where I mean) and look around.  You should see a lone, elevated cabin that has a musical pad in front of it.  Play on it, go inside, and you will see two switches on the ground in front of you.  Pound the one on the left, and you will see the cabin tilt.  Next, pound the yellow pads.  This will start a timer.  Then, pound either the blue or red pad.  Finally, pound the switch, and while the cabin's tilting, push the Controller Stick over to the right as far as possible.  If you do it right, you will see the cabin continue turning as Donkey runs onto the cabin floor and fall through it to a lit up space below!  This reminds me a little of an infamous glitch once found in Super Mario 64 where you had a very strange perspective of the castle... I'm sure you're familliar with it; if not, sorry, I'm not saying any more.

Engaurde The Swordfish
Get Lankey and go to the bottom of K. Rool's castle. Go inside you should be in Gloomy Galeon. Then go past all of the army into the water go straight into the door. If you go down far enough you will find a box with Engaurde the swordfish on it. Swim into it. Then after you take pictures of 6 fairies you can go to the mystery barrel and move the joystick up or down until it says Endgaurde Arena. Push A and you can turn into Endgaurde and swim into the stars that say DK inside of them to raise your points.

Hidden bonus barrel locations:
DK Island
Select Diddy and go to the entrance of Fungi Forest. Go in Diddy's Barrel and get his jetpack. Fly to Donkey Kong's head and go to the end of his hair curl. You have to get very close to see the barrel. The bonus level is where you help the fairies get past the crooks.

Fungi Forest:

201st Banana:
Collect all 200 known Bananas so that Donkey Kong gets his hoard back. After collecting all 20 Banana Fairies, a message requesting you to visit the Head Fairy will appear. You must have Tiny to visit her. She will show you the way to the 201st Banana.

Reload ammunition without crates:
Go to Funky to fill your fruit guns without using the ammunition crates.

Restore musical instrument energy:

Shockwave attack:
After the camera is collected, hold B for a few seconds as any character. Release the button for the shockwave.

Diddy's double somersault:

Stage exit glitch:
Go near Funky's Hut in Jungle Japes as Diddy. Walk to your right. Stand on the flower. Face the side of the cliff. Press Z + B to do the Chimpy Charge. You should wind up in a green area. If you have not fallen off screen yet, walk around. You should fall into the tag barrel in the stage lobby.

Get inside of a platform glitch:
Play as Chunky Kong in the Frantic Factory level. Go into the testing level of the place. Find where there are three yellow Banana Coins (Donkey Kong's) on a stairway. Face the stairway, then go to the left and you should see a block that has a rising part out of it. Jump onto the rising part then jump into the little crevice in the wall. Jump out of the crevice towards the edge of the barred platform (the upper level of where the yellow Banana Coins were). When you are right at the edge, do Chunky's aerial somersault towards the edge. If done correctly, you should be inside of the platform and still able to move around. To get out, simply jump or move over to the top of the stairway.

Discolored banana glitch:
When you are in a Troff n' Scoff room with Diddy, go to the bottom of the screen where it shows how many bananas each Kong has given. Stand on one of the pads and wait until the number appears. Then, before the number disappears, run as fast as you can to another pad. Everything should appear as usual except the color of the banana, which will turn to the color of the Kong's pad that you were just on.

Listen to music:
Listen to Diddy's Tiny's, and Lankey's Music whenever you want to and in a different tune too: Just jump into a tag barrel and look at Tiny, Diddy, or Lankey. But don't choose the kong. Listen to the music and you will hear their instrument in a different tune.

Floor Glitch:
Go to Crystal Caves with Donkey Kong, go to the #2 warp (if you haven't gone through the waterfall, go through it and climb up the rock "steps" to get to where I mean) and look around. You should see a lone, elevated cabin that has a musical pad in front of it. Play on it, go inside, and you will see two switches on the ground in front of you. Pound the one on the left, and you will see the cabin tilt. Next, pound the yellow pads. This will start a timer. Then, pound either the blue or red pad. Finally, pound the switch, and while the cabin's tilting, push the Controller Stick over to the right as far as possible. If you do it right, you will see the cabin continue turning as Donkey runs onto the cabin floor and fall through it to a lit up space below!

Fairy locations:


Crystal Caves Fairies:
Go to the cabins that are to the left of Candy. Go to the very top one and play Diddy's Guitar Gazump. Defeat the two enemies with spiked mallets and use Diddy's Simian Spring to get into the jetpack. Fly up and collect all the bananas that are on top of the candles. A Banana Fairy will appear. Play as Tiny Kong and enter the igloo. Defeat the moving circular bulls-eye platform, get the Golden Banana, and a Banana Fairy will appear. Play as Tiny Kong and enter the igloo. Use saxophone slam to open the gate, and hit the pad to activate the timer. Hit it three times and you will receive a banana, and a Banana Fairy will appear.

DK. Isles Fairy:
Play as Tiny and go to the Fungi Forest house. As soon as enter, go to your left until reaching the end of the room. Press C-Up and look to the left to see Tiny's feather switch. Shoot it to reveal a Fairy in the small room.

Frantic Factory Banana Fairies:
There is another Banana Fairy located in the room with the moving dice/domino enemies where the elevator blocks are located. It is located where Donkey Kong plays the number game, just around the corner before you enter the room. Go to the lobby of Frantic Factory as Chunky and break open the box that is on the right side. Go to the testing room and go left and jump up on the middle box. It will shoot you upwards. Then, walk in the tube thing and turn to find a Banana Fairy.

Fungi Forest Fairies:
Go through the blue door in Fungi Forest as Diddy (or change there) at nighttime. Then, turn right and enter the medium sized barn. Go to your left and jump up the boxes. You should now be over a pad with Diddy's face on it. Hold Z and you should now be in a dark room with a music pad in front of Diddy. Play his guitar. The parrot should have brought a light. Walk carefully across the beams to the Golden banana. After you collect the Golden banana a fairy would come out behind you. Play as Donkey Kong at night. Go to the area with the barn surrounded by water. Find the spot near that location where the screen is filled with trees with thorns. You should then see a house (where you go to play Minecart Mayhem with Donkey Kong). Go to the left of the house and jump in Donkey's barrel (with his face on it) to become invincible. Go to the back of the house and press the switch. Go through the door that opened. Walk forward and climb up the ladder to the right. Walk on the platform until you see a box with a question mark on it. Go on top of it and press A, then Z to do a slam to reveal a Fairy.

Gloomy Galleon Banana Fairy:
Get Tiny Kong and go to the cactus near Funky's shop. Go on Tiny's music pad and play her saxophone. Then, race the time to go into the bars that opened. When you enter, go to your right in the main room. The Banana Fairy would be on your right in a cage.
