Like [[Banana Coin]]s from ''Donkey Kong Land's'' sequel, ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'', these [[coin]]s are hidden throughout each level. Sometimes, they are found in tough-to-reach spots, or even in hidden areas. Several Kong Tokens can also be found often in some [[Bonus Level]]s of the game. Although optional, and not needed to beat the game, these tokens can come quite in handy. After collecting some of these common items, the [[Kong]]s can enter certain Bonus Levels, where they will see a [[barrel]] quickly moving across the screen, as well as a button nearby. If they have saved up some of their Kong Tokens, the monkeys may hit the button to shoot one of the coins out of the rotating barrel. The coin will then quickly plummet across the area at a fast speed. However, if it is caught by Donkey or Diddy Kong, they will be awarded with an extra life. Once the heroes are out of tokens, though, the barrel will no longer shoot out coins. Although the game keeps track of how many Kong Tokens the player has collected, the number of coins will drop to zero after the game is reset.

Kong Tokens[1] are items in Donkey Kong Land. They are large coins roughly the size of the Kongs 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 Levels), 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.
