Three switches are found in the game: two with Chunky Kong's face, and the other one with Diddy Kong's face.

  • The Diddy Switch can be found in Angry Aztec in the room where he has to rescue Tiny Kong. Activating it raises some platforms to help Diddy chimpy-charge the K-O-N-G Switches.
  • The first Chunky Switch can be found in Frantic Factory in the room next to where Chunky was locked. Once the switch is activated, the player has a limited time where some platforms rise and lower, which makes a way to a Golden Banana. The second switch is in the Toy Monster room, and when the switch is pressed, the chest containing the toy enemies opens.

K-O-N-G Switches[edit]

K-O-N-G Switches are found in a temple in Angry Aztec, in the room where Diddy rescues Tiny. Diddy first needs to chimpy-charge the Diddy Switch in the room to make some platforms rise so he can reach the switches. Once Diddy activates all the switches in order, Tiny is freed, and Diddy is rewarded with a Golden Banana.
