As his old name suggests, the tutorial pig tells the player which buttons to press to perform a relevant action in the first level it is required, thus teaching the player the controls. Similarly, he appears for certain context sensitive actions for buttons, such as for such as climbing [[vine]]s and using [[Rocket Barrel]]s. Certain boss fights prompt tutorial pig to appear if the boss fight lasts long enough, in which case the player may have not realized what the action needed to deal damage to the boss is and the button prompt from tutorial pig indicates that action.

He stands at unactivated [[checkpoint]]s, brown booths with a green checkmark printed facing the screen. Once the player passes, he jumps up and waves a green flag, marking the checkpoint. Tutorial Pig hides away afterward, bringing up a green sign displaying a "check". If the Kongs lose a life after passing a checkpoint, their [[Red Balloon]] floats them back to that checkpoint. If the [[Kong]]s lose eight lives in the same level, or five lives while in the port exclusive New Mode or Modern Mode, the tutorial pig appears behind a decoration at the start of the level waving a white flag and at all checkpoint waving his green flag. When the player walks up to him, tutorial pig tells them they can press {{button|wii|+}}, {{button|3DS|start}}, or {{button|switch|+}}. This opens the prompt to activate [[Super Guide]] to show the player how to clear the level. If the player chooses to use it, tutorial pig calls [[Super Kong]] to clear the level.<ref>{{cite|quote=If you are having trouble on a particularly tough stage and lose enough lives, the tutorial pig will appear and offer Super Kong’s assistance to complete the stage.|url=m1.nintendo.net/docvc/RVL/EUR/SF8P/SF8P_E.pdf|format=PDF|title=''Donkey Kong Country Returns'' PAL instruction manual|page=27|date=2010|language=en-gb|publisher=Nintendo of Europe}}</ref> The tutorial pig officiates the [[Donkey Kong Country Returns#Time Attack|Time Attack]] mode. At the start of the level, from behind the decoration, he does the countdown and waves a green flag to start. When the Kongs hit the [[Slot Machine Barrel]] at the end, the tutorial pig emerges from it waving a checkered flag. In silhouette levels, tutorial pig's flags are in color, as are the checkmarks of the checkpoints. | ||
