The Crowns are useful in several ways. First, you′ll need four of them to enter the room that holds the final key to K. Lumsy's cage. Second, they add to your overall percentage score. Finally, you need one Crown to open up the multiplayer modes. There are ten Crowns in all, and you′ll need all of them to score the highest percentage.''" - The ''Donkey Kong 64'' [[Nintendo Power|Player's Guide]], page 16.</ref> are collectible items in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'' that resemble [[King K. Rool]]'s crown. There are ten Battle Crowns in total, one for each level and two in [[DK Isles]]. The [[Kong]]s can obtain a Battle Crown by completing a timed [[Battle Arena Pad]] challenge, in which they must avoid being defeated by enemies or knocked out of the arena.

At least one Battle Crown is needed to unlock multiplayer mode. Four of them are required to open a door in [[Hideout Helm]], allowing the Kongs to go down a pathway leading directly into K. Rool's throne room. The other six Battle Crowns do not affect gameplay, but add to the player's 101% completion score.
