At Candy's Music Shop, the Kongs can purchase their own musical instrument to perform on a Music Pad. At Funky's Store, each Kong can purchase their own weapon that fires a certain type of ammo. At Cranky's Lab, the Kongs can purchase a potion to learn a unique ability. Many of the collectables (including Banana Medals, Banana Coins, Bananas, and Blueprints) are of a certain color, and can only be collected by a Kong specifically associated with that color:īanana Coins are the game's currency, used to buy the services of Cranky Kong, Funky Kong, and Candy Kong, as well as unlock new minigames from Swanky Kong's kiosks. However, it is not mandatory to collect every single item unless you're going for 101% completion. The gameplay is heavily based upon item collection, and each level has multiple items for each character to collect. There are 30 Golden Bananas in every level, and each character has five Golden Bananas to obtain. Only Krusha is available from the start, but the five Kongs, DK, Diddy, Lanky, Tiny, and Chunky Kong, are eventually freed and become available during the adventure you can use Tag Barrels, located throughout every level, to switch between them.Īll six characters are required for completing the game because each of them must use their unique abilities to recover the Golden Bananas. Your objective in every level is to obtain Golden Bananas among other collectibles. Either way, you must venture out into open, vast levels similar to those found in Super Mario 64.

Putting on the provided DK Mask transforms him into Donkey Kong, and thus allows him to swim. The Training Barrel that teaches you how to swim has one more function: since Krusha dies instantly when he touches water, he gets to learn how to put on a Kong Mask, a powerup inspired by the character caps in Super Mario 64 DS. On a hunch, Krusha decides to visit Cranky Kong Cranky, naturally, looks at Krusha with some skepticism, but decides that if Krusha can complete the Training Barrels, he might entrust Krusha with his "special reward". With all five Kongs gone, Squawks clearly has no idea what to do. Rool has decided to kidnap all five Kongs this time, and force them to watch him use his Blast-O-Matic to destroy DK Island. Since none of the Kremlings can swim, he is essentially stranded on the island until they can find a way to bring him back. Unbeknownst to them, Krusha is tossed off the island in the crash he lands at DK's treehouse. The game starts out the same until the scene where the Kremlings crash Crocodile Isle. The game was intended to be part of a series of 3D platformers that would get the "SM64DS treatment" however, the next game in the series, Super Mario Sunshine Deluxe, wouldn't be released until 16 years later, and plans for similar-styled remakes of Banjo-Kazooie and Banjo-Tooie have fallen through and will likely never be picked up.
