'''Kong Switches''' are switches that appear in the game ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''. There are three different colored switches, with each switch having a [[Kong|Kong's]] face displayed. Only the specific Kong can activate the switch with their face. The different colored switches are:

'''Kong Switches''',<ref>{{cite|author=Bihldorff, Nate, Jason Leung, and Drew Williams|title=''Donkey Kong 64'' [[Nintendo Power|Player's Guide]]|page=13|date=1999|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us}}</ref> or '''Floor Switches''',<ref>{{cite|author=Barton, Jeff, Mario De Govia, and Donato Tica|title=''Donkey Kong 64'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide|page=19|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|date=December 1, 1999|isbn=0-7615-2279-4|language=en-us}}</ref> are switches that appear in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''. Each has a [[Kong]]'s face displayed, with only the depicted Kong being able to activate it from a [[Simian Slam]] or a more powerful variation, depending on the type. Kong Switches usually open a pathway or reveal a secret area. The first Kong Switch of [[Jungle Japes]] can automatically be activated if [[Donkey Kong]] lands on it. Kong Switches appear in three color varieties. '''Green Switches''' are the weakest, and at least a Simian Slam is required to activate them. '''Blue Switches''' are stronger, and at least a Super Simian Slam can activate them. '''Red Switches''' are the strongest, since only a Super Duper Simian Slam can activate them; this type appears only in [[Creepy Castle]].


Blue Switches begin to appear once the player reaches [[Fungi Forest]]. However, one appears in [[Gloomy Galleon]]'s lobby in [[DK Isles]]. A Blue Switch also appears in [[Chunky Kong]]'s battle with [[King K. Rool]], and if the player uses various [[glitch]]es to access the battle while still having the Simian Slam, this switch can still be pressed.
*'''Green Switch:''' Can be activated with a [[Simian Slam]].
*'''Blue Switch:''' Can be activated with a Super Simian Slam.  These switches begin to appear once the player reaches [[Fungi Forest]]. Though one appears in [[Gloomy Galleon]]'s lobby in [[Donkey Kong Island|DK Isle]].
*'''Red Switch:''' Can be activated with a Super Duper Simian Slam. These switches only appear in [[Creepy Castle]].
 
==Trivia==
*A blue switch appears during [[Chunky Kong|Chunky's]] battle with [[King K. Rool]]. If the player uses various glitches to access the battle while still having the Simian Slam, the switch can still be pressed.
