'''Kong Tokens'''<ref name=engmanual>{{cite|title=''Donkey Kong Land'' instruction booklet|page=12|date=1995|publisher=Nintendo of America|author=Nintendo|language=en-us}}</ref> are [[List of items|items]] in ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]''. They are large [[coin]]s roughly the size of the [[Kong]]s that depict [[Donkey Kong]]'s head on a side and [[Diddy Kong]]'s head on the other side. Kong Tokens commonly appear throughout every [[level]], where their placement can include areas that require effort to reach, hidden areas (including [[Bonus Level]]s), and even in plain sight. Kong Tokens are used in certain Bonus Level challenges to be launched from a quickly moving [[Button Barrel]] individually for the player character to collect. Catching a Kong Token awards an extra life. The Button Barrel stops releasing Kong Tokens once all of them have been used up. The game does not save the number of collected Kong Tokens, so resetting the game causes the player to lose every collected Kong Token.

'''Kong Tokens'''<ref>''Donkey Kong Land'' instruction booklet, page 12.</ref> are special items that only appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]''. They are large [[coin]]s (nearly the size of the [[Kong]]s), and they depict [[Donkey Kong]]'s head on a side and [[Diddy Kong]]'s head on the other side. This is shown from how the Kong Token constantly flips between sides.  


==Profiles==
Kong Tokens are common items that are scattered throughout each [[level]]. They are found in hard-to-reach locations, hidden areas (including [[Bonus Level]]s), and even in plain sight. Kong Tokens are only used in certain Bonus Level challenges. In them, there is a [[Button Barrel]] that quickly moves around, and Donkey Kong or Diddy Kong can jump on the corresponding button to release the Kong Tokens individually. For each Kong Token that the Kong catches, they are awarded with an extra life. The Kongs must repeatedly jump on the button until all of their Kong Tokens are released, after which the Button Barrel cannot release any more tokens.

The game does not save the number of collected Kong Tokens. Therefore if the player resets the game, all of their Kong Tokens are lost.
