Cling
Clinging[1] appears in Donkey Kong Country Returns and its port as a usable move of Donkey Kong's (and Diddy Kong's in co-op play). When the player jumps at grass growing from of a ceiling or wall and holds 
or 
(or 
with the Wii Remote alone), Donkey Kong clings to the grass. While clinging, Donkey Kong can climb up walls and across ceilings in order to avoid obstacles below, usually pits. However, the Kongs are still vulnerable to Chomps. Ground-pounding is still possible while clinging to grass. Clinging is also used in order to swing across vines or chains. This ability is prominently used during the Mangoruby boss fight.
The move returns in Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, where it has the same role. All four Kongs have the ability to cling.
