The guns can hit enemies from afar and activate switches that have to be shot using a specific Kong’s weapon.

Kongs also have their own fruit-inspired firing weapons and musical instruments, which Funky and Candy upgrade in each level. The Kongs’ abilities have to be learned by paying Cranky with banana coins, who resides in his lab in every level (who knew the old Kong was secretly a scientist?). Every Kong has a special ability that can be activated for a limited time when stumbling upon a Kong Barrel, too, such as DK’s invincibility and Diddy’s jetpack. Finally, it is unknown how Lanky is related to the others, but his long, stretchy arms allow him to hit enemies from afar (think Dhalsim from Street Fighter!) and climb steep slopes. Kiddy’s big cousin Chunky makes his debut, and is easily the strongest of the crew, able to lift boulders blocking paths and switches. Tiny is Dixie’s little sister, with the same ponytail flying traits and the ability to crawl through small holes.
As well as familiar faces DK and Diddy, three new Kongs are introduced to the family. Only one Kong can be controlled at any one time, but Tag Barrels dotted about the levels allow for switching to another monkey, each with their own moves that allow them to reach areas other Kongs cannot. Donkey Kong 64 has a similar feature, but this time around four other Kongs are playable. The Donkey Kong Country games were so fun, partly for the tag team switching they implemented, allowing for the unique abilities of each Kong to access secret bonus areas. DK’s banana horde is stolen and the big ape sets off in pursuit and to crush the Kremlings once again. The hub area is DK Isles, Donkey Kong’s home, and is once again under threat from King K. Like Banjo-Kazooie and Super Mario 64 before it, this platform adventure puts the player in a hub world that connects to eight other giant levels to complete, with key items to collect from defeating baddies and beating mini-games.
After the success of Rare’s Banjo-Kazooie, it didn’t come as much of a surprise to learn that Donkey Kong 64 would take a lot of inspiration from it and play very much in the same way.
