A '''blueprint''' is an item in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''. They are, as the name suggests, blueprints for [[King K. Rool]]'s Blast-O-Matic machine. The only way to get them is to kill one of five [[Kasplat]]s in each level. Each one of the Kongs can collect their own color blueprint (yellow for [[Donkey Kong]], red for [[Diddy]], etc.) Every time a blueprint is given to [[Snide]], the Kongs receive a [[Golden Banana]]. Also, every time one is collected, more time is added on to the timer in the last level, [[Hideout Helm]]. Once the Kongs collect all the blueprints, Snide will show them a secret batch of minigames. However, getting all the blueprints is not necessary to win the game.

Snide, Donkey Kong 64

Blueprints are the design plans for the Blast-o-Matic in Donkey Kong 64. They are collectible items that the Kongs must recover for Snide. There are 40 blueprints in total.

Aside from Hideout Helm, every area in the game, including DK Isles, has five blueprints, one for each Kong to collect. Every blueprint is guarded by a Kasplat, whose hair color and blueprint color corresponds to a specific Kong (yellow for Donkey Kong, red for Diddy Kong, purple for Tiny Kong, blue for Lanky Kong, and green for Chunky Kong). If an incorrect Kong is active, the blueprint appears in the form of a hologram, and the Kong cannot collect it. Each Kong can individually visit Snide's H.Q. with their recovered blueprints, where Snide rewards them with a Golden Banana for every one they return.

Blueprints play a somewhat critical role in the final level, Hideout Helm, because Snide uses the blueprints to delay the Blast-o-Matic's countdown timer by a minute per blueprint. By default, the timer starts at ten minutes and can count down from 50 minutes at highest, if all 40 blueprints were collected beforehand.

Blueprints are required for a 101% completion, albeit indirectly via the Golden Bananas that Snide awards for turning them in. The blueprints themselves do not add to the completion percentage. Additionally, after the Kongs recover every blueprint, Snide allows the Kongs to replay most of the Bonus Stages from a sub-menu at his headquarters.
