They appear at the end of each secret temple levels of the first eight [[world]]s, and are differently colored to represent said worlds. | | '''Rare Orbs''', referred to as '''Orbs''' in the [[Prima Games|Prima]] guide, are important collectible items that appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D]]''. They are held in the secret temple of each of the first eight worlds. The temples have to be unlocked by collecting the hidden [[K-O-N-G Letters]] in each of the other levels. |

|
| Each Rare Orb is on a pedestal in the background. They float into the main plane when a Kong approaches. The Kongs can then collect the Rare Orb by touching it, which ends the level. In the ending screen of temple levels, a display featuring the door of the hidden [[Golden Temple]] replaces the display for [[KONG Letters]]. The first time a temple level is completed, the collected Rare Orb flies into the slot on the display. All Rare Orbs collected prior to it are also present. (KONG Letters do not appear in temple levels, as unlocking one requires the player have a KONG Letter icon for every level in a world.) If a level is played in Time Attack mode, the [[Slot Machine Barrel]] serves as the goal instead and the end screen is normal. At the Golden Temple, the Kongs can press a button at the entrance to use their Rare Orbs. All of them float out around the player, but without all eight Rare Orbs nothing will happen. With all eight orbs, they slot into the door and cause it to roll to the side, opening the path into the Golden Temple.
| | In order to get the Rare Orb, the [[Kong]]s must get past all of the obstacles and enemies in the temple. Once all eight orbs are collected, they will be able to unlock the entrance to the hidden [[Golden Temple]]. |

| In New Mode of ''Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D'' and Modern Mode of ''Donkey Kong Country Returns HD'', after the game is beaten, each Rare Orb appears in [[Cranky Kong's Shop]] in their respective worlds and can be purchased for 50 [[Banana Coin]]s, so the player does not have to clear the temple levels to access the Golden Temple and therefore the [[Cloud (world)|Cloud]] world. Buying all eight Rare Orbs costs a total of 400 Banana Coins. The player cannot purchase Rare Orbs they already have, and they appear grayed out in the shop.
| |
| | |
| Rare Orbs do not appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'', although the game features [[mysterious relic]]s, which serve a similar purpose.
