PROLOGUE

Cartoon character with white beard and brown head, sitting in a chair with wooden tools, set against a green leafy background (no text or symbols)

an't a tired old ape take a nap around here?? A bunch of shifty-eyed musical miscreants just kicked our volcano into overdrive and took over Donkey Kong Island! Enough with the noise, already!

These rhythmic rabble-rousers are up to no good. They've been putting some kind of musical mojo on all our animal buddies and toting off every banana in sight. And get this: they've even gone after Donkey Kong's secret hoard! Nothing burns that boy's biscuits like someone messing with his precious bananas!

Just what do they want with all those stolen bananas? Back in my day, I'd take care of this mysterious predicament without breaking a sweat, but Donkey Kong and his little pal Diddy Kong are all worked up and ready for action. If anybody can run, jump, cling, and swing to the bottom of all this banana burglary, it's those two!

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.

CRANKY'S TIPS

Cartoon character with a white beard and hat sitting on a wooden chair, holding a staff (no text or symbols visible)

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

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

SUPER GUIDE

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 + at any time 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.

Cartoon monkey character holding a staff, standing beside wooden tools (no text or symbols visible)

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?

3 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. I'm not sure exactly how many bananas you need, because I'm so tough that I only need one balloon!

5 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.
