| | The '''K-O-N-G Letters''' are items in the ''Donkey Kong Country'' series, ''Donkey Kong Land'' series, and in ''[[DK: Jungle Climber]]''. As stated in the manual: "Find all four letters on a single level to receive an extra life." As their name states, the letters are the gold-lined, gold-lettered K, O, N and G letters found on each level of the games. Some are out in the open, and some are hidden through the stage or in [[Bonus Area]]s. |

| '''KONG Letters'''<ref name="DKL manual EN-US"/><ref name="DKC2 SNES manual EN-US"/><ref name="DKCR PAL manual"/> (alternatively formatted as '''K-O-N-G Letters''',<ref name="DKC SNES manual EN-US"/><ref name="DKC3 SNES manual EN-US"/><ref name="DKCR manual NA"/> '''K O N G Letters''',<ref name="DKL2 3DS manual EN-GB/><ref name="DKL3 3DS manual EN-GB"/> or '''KONG letters'''<ref name="DKCTF manual EN-GB"/><ref name="Nintendo Magazine System UK"/>), also known as '''Golden Letters''',<ref name="DKC Player's Guide"/> '''KONG Golden Letters''',<ref name="DKC Prima"/> '''Letter panels''',<ref name="SNW Direct"/> or simply '''letters''',<ref name="DKC GBA manual EN-US/> are recurring collectible items in the [[Donkey Kong Country (series)|''Donkey Kong Country'' series]] and [[Donkey Kong Land (series)|''Donkey Kong Land'' series]]. They are a set of four square-shaped objects, each displaying a letter of "[[Kong]]," and the first appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''. KONG Letters are in every [[level]] except boss levels. All four letters can be collected for a reward, usually an [[extra life]]; in some games, collecting them is mandatory. KONG Letters also serve as loose progress indicators, as the letter ''K'' usually appears at the start, the letters ''O'' and ''N'' appear midway through the level, and the letter ''G'' appears near the end.
| |
|
| |
|
| The original trilogy depicts KONG Letters as flat gold-lined objects with one of the four letters stamped on. In ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' (as well as [[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D|its Nintendo 3DS port]] and [[Donkey Kong Country Returns HD|its Nintendo Switch port]]) and ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'' (as well as [[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (Nintendo Switch)|its Nintendo Switch port]]), the KONG Letters are redesigned with a more simplistic appearance, resembling plain red panels with yellow letters.
| | If a [[Kong]] manages to collect the entire word KONG on any stage, they will get an extra life for their troubles. A good rule of thumb for one to remember is that a Kong comes across the letters in order. In other words, if a Kong comes across the O, but doesn't have the K, it means he or she has passed it. A collector Kong should keep that in mind as they go to collect these items. |
|
| |
|
| ==History==
| | In ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]'', K-O-N-G Letters play a completely different role. They must be collected to save game progress. If the heroes are to miss one letter, they will be unable to save their progress. Because of this, they are very important. The level "[[Kong Krazy]]" in the game has multiple sets of K-O-N-G Letters in it; in this level the K-O-N-G Letters can be used as platforms and bridges. |

| Certain levels have two of the same letter, and collecting one makes the other disappear. For example, in ''Donkey Kong Country''{{'}}s [[Snow Barrel Blast]], there are two letter ''G''{{'}}s, each appearing in a path that the Kongs can take. In ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''{{'}}s [[Chain Link Chamber (Donkey Kong Country 2)|Chain Link Chamber]], there are two letter ''O''{{'}}s in the same area. North American releases of ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' do not have a letter ''G'' in [[Rocket Rush (level)|Rocket Rush]].<ref>{{cite|url=tcrf.net/Donkey_Kong_Country_3:_Dixie_Kong's_Double_Trouble_(SNES)|title=Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble (SNES)|publisher=The Cutting Room Floor|language=en|accessdate=December 12, 2024}}</ref>
| | Their role was changed once again in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D]]''. In that game, collecting all K-O-N-G Letters in one world unlocks a hidden temple stage, which contains one of the [[Rare Orb|magical orbs]] that are required to enter the [[Golden Temple]]. While playing the game in Mirror Mode, the letters on the K-O-N-G Letters are flipped as they would appear in a mirror. In this game, K-O-N-G Letters were redesigned and changed from gold to orange and the text were changed to yellow, too. |
| | |
| In ''Donkey Kong Country'', yellow letters similar to the KONG Letters appear in the "Spell it Out!" [[bonus room]] challenges. The goal is to [[jump]] at the letters to spell out a word in the correct order.<ref>{{cite|title=''Donkey Kong Country'' Player's Guide|page=55|quote=Spell out the word 'K-O-N-G' to earn a Golden Expresso Token.}}</ref> In the [[Donkey Kong Country (Game Boy Advance)|second remake]] only, collecting every letter is required for 101% [[completion]],<ref name=completion>{{cite|url=youtu.be/Awi4UtTofE0?feature=shared&t=3862|title=''Donkey Kong Country'': Changes from SNES to GBA|date=February 1, 2018|author=Greenalink|timestamp=1:04:22|publisher=YouTube|language=en|accessdate=December 12, 2024}}</ref> and the player can check the statistics for KONG Letters from the level stats menu.<ref name=completion/>
| |
| | |
| In ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]'' only, collecting all four KONG Letters enables the player to save their progress.<ref>{{cite|quote=If you collect all the letters to spell K-O-N-G in a level, you will gain access to the Save Game Screen after you have finished the level.|title=''Donkey Kong Land'' instruction booklet|page=10|date=1995|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us}}</ref><ref>{{cite|timestamp=02:12|url=youtu.be/lOdDzFyLnBw?feature=shared&t=132|title=''Donkey Kong Land'' (GB) - 100% Longplay (No Damage)|author=Mariofan98 Longplays|date=March 17, 2016|publisher=YouTube|language=en|accessdate=December 12, 2024}}</ref> The [[Kong Krazy]] level has several KONG Letters that are used for constructing bridges and stairways.<ref>{{cite|title=''Nintendo Power'' Volume 74|page=20|date=July 1995|author=Tilden, Gail, et al.|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us}}</ref> A button after each set allows the KONG Letters to form into a platform to cross a gap.<ref>{{cite|author=VideoGamePhenom|timestamp=0:12|url=youtu.be/FEzAVo5fR2k?feature=shared&t=12|title=''Donkey Kong Land'' - Big Ape City - Kong Krazy|date=May 9, 2019|publisher=YouTube|language=en|accessdate=December 12, 2024}}</ref>
| |
| | |
| In the original version of ''Donkey Kong Country'', the KONG Letter sprites sparkle and shimmer. In the sequels and Game Boy Advance version, however, they spin instead.
| |
| | |
| ===''Donkey Konga 3''===
| |
| In ''[[Donkey Konga 3 JP|Donkey Konga 3]]'', the KONG Letters are hung as decorations, surrounded by garlands in the Christmas background.
| |
| | |
| ===''DK: Jungle Climber''===
| |
| {{stub|section=y}}
| |
| In ''[[DK: Jungle Climber]]'', KONG Letters were renamed '''KONG Panels''',<ref>{{cite|language=en|title=''Donkey Kong: Jungle Climber'' English instruction booklet|page=15|date=2007|publisher=Nintendo of America}}</ref> and they retain their role as collectible items. Like in ''Donkey Kong Country''{{'}}s Game Boy Advance version, the KONG Panels are required collectibles, and they grant an extra life if all four in a level are collected.
| |
| | |
| ===''Donkey Kong Country Returns'' (''3D'' / ''HD'')===
| |
| In ''Donkey Kong Country Returns'', its [[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D|Nintendo 3DS port]], and its [[Donkey Kong Country Returns HD|Nintendo Switch port]], KONG Letters are important collectible items, as progress for KONG Letters is tracked on the Level Selection Screen. All levels have exactly four KONG Letters, one of each. KONG Letter collection is only saved at checkpoints (hosted by [[Professor Chops|tutorial pig]]) and at the end of a level. KONG Letters collected before saving at one of these points revert to being uncollected should the player be defeated. Unlike most games with collectible items that are tracked on their equivalent of a Level Selection Screen, and unlike [[Puzzle Piece (Donkey Kong Country series)|Puzzle Piece]]s, KONG Letters that the player has already collected are not differentiated from KONG Letters the player has not collected yet. KONG Letters do not appear in the Time Attack mode.
| |
| | |
| When Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong obtain every letter in a level in the same playthrough, the level is marked with a KONG Letter icon<ref>{{cite|quote=Complete a level collecting all four letters to receive the KONG Letter icon|url=m1.nintendo.net/docvc/RVL/EUR/SF8P/SF8P_E.pdf|format=PDF|title=''Donkey Kong Country Returns'' PAL instruction manual|page=24|date=2010|language=en-gb|publisher=Nintendo of Europe}}</ref>: an orange pin with a black star. When the player has every KONG Letter icon in a [[world]], Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong unlock a Key Temple. This is a difficult level that lacks KONG Letters but ends with collecting one of the [[Rare Orb]]s. KONG Letters do not appear in boss levels, [[Lift-off Launch]], and [[Golden Temple]]. In ''Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D'' and ''Donkey Kong Country Returns HD''. Golden Temple's lack of KONG Letters extends to all of the levels in the [[Cloud (world)|Cloud]] world.
| |
| | |
| Unlocking Mirror Mode requires collecting every KONG Letter due to cascading requirements from the Rare Orbs. In Mirror Mode, the letters on the KONG Letters are flipped like the other surroundings. In ''Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D'' and ''Donkey Kong Country Returns HD'', collecting all the KONG Letters from a level in Mirror Mode changes the Kong Letter icon from orange to blue but has no further effect. This does not count for [[Completion|200% completion]].
| |
| | |
| [[Prima Games]] refers to the KONG Letters individually as the '''K Block''',<ref name=KO>{{cite|author=Knight, Michael|title=''Donkey Kong Country Returns'' Prima Official Game Guide|page=30|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|date=November 21, 2010|isbn=978-0-307-47102-4}}</ref> '''O Block''',<ref name=KO/> '''N Block''',<ref name=NG>{{cite|author=Knight|title=''Donkey Kong Country Returns'' Prima Official Game Guide|page=31}}</ref> and '''G Block'''.<ref name=NG/>

| | |
| ===''Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze''===
| |
| [[File:Letter K Artwork - Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze.png|frame|The letter ''K'' from ''Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze'']]
| |
| In ''Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze'' and its Nintendo Switch port, KONG Letters retain their appearance and role from ''Donkey Kong Country Returns''. The Kongs must collect every KONG Letter in a world to unlock a temple level, which has a [[mysterious relic]] instead of a Rare Orb. On [[Hard Mode#Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze|Hard Mode]], the KONG Letters are colored blue; collecting them colors the star icon near a level's name from red to blue, although they are not required for 200% completion.
