This article is under construction. Therefore, please excuse its informal appearance while it is being worked on. We hope to have it completed at no defined time.

Template:Infobox Donkey Kong 64 is a Nintendo 64 video game developed by Rare. It was published by Nintendo and first released on October 31, 1999. It received generally positive reviews with an average score of 88% according to Game Rankings. 1

The game requires the use of the Expansion Pak in order to function, and was the first Nintendo 64 game to do so.

The game features a single player (adventure) mode and a multi-player ("Kong Battle") mode.

Story

The game takes place after the events of the Donkey Kong Land series. King K. Rool is trying to destroy Donkey Kong Island with a large machine called the Blast-O-Matic, but it's malfunctioning. To buy some time, he captures a handful of Kongs and locks them up, and steals Donkey Kong's hoard of Golden Bananas. As Donkey Kong frees his fellow apes, they set off to recover the Bananas and eventually defeat K. Rool, saving Donkey Kong Island.

Playable Characters

Donkey Kong

DK climbing a tree

Main article: Donkey Kong

Donkey Kong is the first character the player will be able to play as. Donkey Kong's Bananas , Banana Balloons and Banana Coins are yellow.

Book's Description

"He's the only ape who still cares enough to wear a tie. DK may not be the most powerful Kong - or the quickest - but he applies a strong blue-collar work ethic to the business of Kremling Crushing. That may be why he's the leader of the Kong Clan."

Diddy Kong

Diddy Swimming

Main article: Diddy Kong

Diddy can be unlocked by Donkey Kong in Jungle Japes. Diddy's Bananas, Banana Balloons, and Banana Coins are all red.

Book's Description

"You'll probably recognize his familiar furry mug from past adventures. A mere bantamweight in bulk, this courageous chimp is the heavyweight champion of hard-core attitude. Whether he's rocking out on a six-stringed, amplified guitar or rocketing through the sky, he's always giving it 100 percent - Diddy Style."

Lanky Kong

File:LankyScreen.PNG

Main article: Lanky Kong

Lanky can be unlocked by Donkey Kong in Angry Aztec. Lanky's Bananas, Banana Balloons, and Banana Coins are all blue.

Book's Description

"This knuckle-dragging Kong looks like a clown, and it's more than just a coincidence. Think of him as a twisted twig on a distant branch of the family tree. Kremlings and Klaptraps may snicker at his goofy gait as he ambles in their direction, but there's nothing funny about a hyper extended sucker punch."

Tiny Kong

File:TinyScreen.PNG

Tiny combating robot Kremlings

Main article: Tiny Kong

Tiny can be unlocked by Diddy Kong in Angry Aztec. Tiny's Bananas, Banana Balloons, and Banana Coins are all purple.

Book's Description

"Dixie's VERY little sister brings a big dose of flower power to the Kong's campaign. You'll find her pigtails perfect for pugilism and not too bad for a helicopter ride from the treetops. Tiny never shrinks from her responsibilities - even when she shrinks herself physically for a mouse's eye view of the action. "

Chunky Kong

File:ChunkersScreen.PNG

Chunky picks up a heavy boulder

Main article: Chunky Kong

Chunky can be unlocked by Lanky Kong in Frantic Factory. Chunky's Bananas, Banana Balloons, and Banana Coins are all green.

Book's Description

"He's big. he's bad. he plays the triangle. Chunky is something of a primate paradox: brutal when the situation demands it, yet almost meek at other times. He's also not the sharpest knife in the drawer, so he'll need all the help you can give him. If there's heavy lifting to be done, however, Chunky is the Monkey to see."

Krusha

Golden Crowns

File:ChunkFight.PNG

Chunky in the ring

In each world there is one battle arena platform, and beating it gets the player a crown. Its usefulness is plentiful. first, the player must collect at least four of them to enter King K. Rool's secret room to retrieve the final key to K. Lumsy's cage. Second, they add to the final percentage score. Finally, the player must have at least one to open the multiplayer modes. There are ten crowns (two crowns on DK Isle, one crown in each of the eight worlds).

Banana Fairy Snap

Once the player receives the Banana cam, they can snap photos of various fairies. Good fairy pictures refill the player's items. The number of fairies captured on film will reflect what will be open in Mystery Mode. A total of twenty fairies can be captured (two in each regular level; four in DK Isles).

Items

a Golden banana

Golden Bananas

Golden bananas are a pivotal role in the storyline. The player must collect them to earn access to new worlds because B. Locker won't allow the player to the specified world unless they have the specified amount of golden bananas. Every world contains five Golden bananas for each Kong to grasp.

Bananas

There are a total of 500 Bananas in each level (minus the final level and the DK Isles overworld), with 100 of them in each of the 5 Kong's colors. They are found in singles, bunched in fives, or packed into a balloon of ten. They are used to feed Troff 'N' Scoff in order to gain access to bosses, and collecting 75 of any color banana in a single level will net the player a Banana Medal.

Banana Coins

Like the banana, coins come in the five Kong colors. The player must obtain them to pay for power-ups.

There are currently known to be a total of 949 Banana Coins in Donkey Kong 64. This is broken down as follows:

Donkey: 174, Diddy: 178, Lanky: 185, Tiny: 193, Chunky: 219

During the game, each Kong spends 21 coins on personal upgrades, Donkey spends an extra 2 on the DK Arcade game, and a total of 53 coins are spent on shared upgrades. At the end of the game, assuming Donkey pays for all shared upgrades, these are the totals the player should have if he/she has collected them all:

Donkey: 98, Diddy: 157, Lanky: 164, Tiny: 172, Chunky: 198

Total: 789

Banana Medals

After a Kong collects 75 of their color bananas in any one world, they receive a Banana Medal. After collecting 15, Cranky will allow the player to play Jetpac, an old NES/Arcade game from Rare, in order to try and earn the Rareware Coin.

Boss Keys

Boss keys are needed to unlock K. Lumsy's cage. 7 of the 8 keys are obtained by defeating each of the worlds bosses, but the final key can only be obtained by having collected 4 Battle Crowns and collecting the Rareware Coin (earned by beating 5000 points on Jetpac) and the Nintendo Coin (earned by beating Donkey Kong a second time).

5-Banana Coin

Gives 5 coins to each Kong's coin bank and is obtained by eradicating a DK dirt pile.

DK Dirt Piles

By holding the B button after Tiny Kong learns a special charge move from the head Banana Fairy, the Kong can obtain a 5-Banana coin.

Watermelons

Watermelons are the Kong's life meters. Each melon they obtain contains four slices. Once a Kong is hit, they will loose one or more slices. Once the Kong looses all slices, game over. Enemies also usually have one or more slices contained in themselves after they are eliminated.

Melon Crates

Melon crates contain four watermelon slices that can extravagantly aid a Kong's life meter.

Orange Grenade

Oranges that act like bombs. They are stronger than a normal attack, and are required to defeat certain enemies.

Headphone

Headphones replenish the amount of plays a Kong can use on their instrument.

Supply Crate

The supply crates encase the specified Kong's shooter ammo. Each crate contain five doses of ammo.

Crystal Coconuts

The Crystal Coconuts contain the power to use on Cranky's barrel potions. Any move used by a Kong Barrel will use up the coconuts quickly, but there are typically supplies of coconuts near these barrels.

Banana Camera Film

The Banana Camera Film is used to supply film into cameras to take photos of Banana Fairies.

Rareware Coin & Nintendo Coin

These items are required to get the final key to K. Lumsy's cage. You can get the Nintendo Coin by playing the Donkey Kong Arcade in Frantic Factory and completing it twice (the second time through the game replaces the sprite of Pauline with the coin & the difficulty is increased). In order to get the Rareware coin, you must first collect a minimum of 15 Banana Medals & then go see Cranky. He will then let you play Jetpac, an old arcade game by Rare, in which the player must earn 5000 points. Doing so will cause the coin to drop from the top of the screen, allowing the player to collect it.

Battle Crowns

Battle Crowns are awarded by completing a Battle Arena challenge. They're required for the 100% completion total, and the player needs at least 4 of them, along with the Rareware Coin and Nintendo Coin, in order to reach the final Boss Key. There are a total of 10 in the entire game; one for each Battle Pad. These Battle Crowns closely resemble King K. Rool's own Crown.

Barrels

There are many variations of barrels a Kong will encounter during their adventure. There are four main types.

Kong Barrels

Kong Barrels contains the barrel moves Cranky can teach each Kong. Once a Kong hops into this barrel, crystal coconuts are the only thing that can keep its move alive.

File:Tagbarrel.PNG

Chunky under a Tag Barrel

Tag Barrels

The Tag Barrel allows the player to switch Kongs in the middle of a world. There are quite a few in each world.

Bonus Barrels

The Bonus Barrels are a gateway to a bonus game for the five Kongs. Beating a game will obligate them to a Golden Banana.

TNT Barrels

TNT Barrels can often be used as a convenient weapon that can explode (much like an orange). They are frequent in Boss Battles and such. At times, enemy Kabooms will nest in one.

Switches

File:DKSwitch.PNG

a DK Switch

Kong Switches

Each of the principal Kongs has their face on a switch. The switches are activated by either the Simian Slam, the Super Simian Slam, or the Super Duper Simian Slam (all taught by Cranky). The switches activate a host of things including passageways and secret areas.

Target Switches

The target Switches are as obvious as the Kong Switch. Each switch has a picture indicating the weapon needed to shoot it. It has either a coconut (DK), a peanut (Diddy), a grape (Lanky), a feather (Tiny), or a pineapple (Chunky).

Wall Switches

These switches are a variation of the Target Switch. They require either Diddy's Chimpy Charge (which is usually the case) or Chunky's Primate Punch to activate.

Pads

Lanky using Cranky's "Baboon Balloon" move from his Pad

Kong Pads

After learning a special move from Cranky Kong, the Kong pictured on the pad can preform a move by standing on this pad. Usually when a Kong sees a pad it means they must accomplish something in that area.

Music Pads

Each music pad has the picture of a Kong's instrument on it. If the corresponding Kong steps on the pad and plays their instrument a variety of things can happen, including entrances to passageways opening to a Golden Banana appearing out of nowhere. Playing an instrument on a Music Pad will not drain its energy.

Battle Arena Pads

The Battle Arena Pads are steel with a headshot of King K. Rool. It's the hosted way to a battle pit fight with many of the world's Kremling enemies. This is the way to win the Golden Crowns.

Bananaporters

The Bananaporter allows easy transport in various levels. it comes in numbers 1 - 5 and each of the two pairs of Bananaporters need to be activated to work (Example: both Bananaporter 1s need to be activated for them to work).

Animal Transformations

Donkey Kong is the only character who can change into Rambi the Rhino. Rambi has the power to smash huts and walls with his face on them, as well as kill enemies simply by charging them with his horn. Rambi appears in Jungle Japes, Hideout Helm (one of DK's games), and the unlockable Rambi arena.

In addition, Lanky is the only character who can change into Enguarde the Swordfish. Enguarde's pointy nose can smash open treasure chests and reveal hidden items. He can also leap out of the water. Enguarde appears only in Gloomy Galleon and the unlockable Enguarde arena.

Other Playable Characters

A Krusha is playable in Donkey Kong 64's multiplayer mode after unlocking him after capturing fifteen Banana Fairies. Also of note, a Klaptrap can be played as in the mini-game "Beaver Bother".

Levels and Golden Bananas

Donkey Kong 64 has eight levels in addition to an overworld and the final boss arena. Along with that, each Kong is obligated to five Golden bananas a level, save for Hideout Helm. There is one bonus Golden Banana Tiny can obtain by snapping all 20 Banana Fairies, making 201 Golden Bananas in all.
