Frantic Factory Boss: Mad Jack

Okay, you have to do this as Tiny Kong; also, make sure that you have her Pony Tail Whirl (A+A) from Cranky - you won't be able to do this without that attack.

To beat him:

- keep avoiding Mad Jack by using the Pony Tail Whirl (A+A) to jump from platform to platform

- once he stops, 2 Switches will appear - go Slam (A+Z) the one that's on the same colour as Mad Jack (white or blue), if it's the wrong one, you will get hurt; also, if Mad Jack's about to hit you, jump off the platforms and fall down, you only lose health if you get hit by him, not if you jump off

- hit Mad Jack 5 times with the Switches to defeat him (after 2 hits, the Switches won't light up, so they'll be harder to find; after 3 hits, he'll start shooting lasers at you, which are difficult to av..


How to unlock 2 Player

in "diddies mine" are in jungle japes, use his chimpy charge against the pile

of coals and you can go inside of it, but i don't think there is anything in

there.


Fire Kongs

Go to any Troff & Scoff (if you haven't beaten all of them yet) and jump into one of the torches and your Kong will be on fire. This is very weird and funny.

PS: You can do this with any Kong but you have to hit Z then hit A.

PS:2 you won't lose any health.


The last fariy

Ok I found this out when I was playn the game.You know where the final key is,in the room that you need both coins to get in?Well you don't need to have the coins to get the fairy all you do is stand at a place you can see it through the glass window and take a picture of it through the glass.It'll count it but, if you want to get the key you'll need the two coins to get it though.


A Few Handy Cheats and an Ending How-To

I found a few cheats while playing Donkey Kong and I thought you people might want them.

No Bananas, No Entry; WRONG:

When you get to Blocker, just use Lanky's arm stretch to touch the entrance of a new level and you're in!

Extra Time to Make Wasted Minds:

Before you even think about going into Hideout Helm, make sure you've collected all of Snide's Blueprints you could. The more you get the more time you'll have to destroy K.Rool's machine.

At the end of the game, during the boxing match, I have a how-to for you.

Donkey: Jump the shock waves on your way o the turnbuckles. Once there, jump in a barrel and go for the king's chin.

Diddy: Avoid the king's glove until a barrel appears. Jump in and shoot all the targets to drop a light on t..

8th Key WITHOUT Rareware or Nintendo Coin

I was looking for how to get the 8th key myself since it was so difficult to complete the minigames so I searched the internet when I found this video of how to get the key without either coin

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fEjSGGWTl4U

NOTE: I did NOT discover this glitch NOR can I take credit for it but I can confirm that it does work and will be very helpful if you too have difficulty with achieving the two coins necessary to open the door...

Robotic Fish

To blow up the fish get inside and first get on the wooden platform. Get your gun out and aim to the left. Shot at the targets when the fan only covers obne target and shoot both, then start. Good luck It helped me.


How to get to the Robotic Fish the easy way not the hard way.

When you start the timer jump of the lighthouse and go into the water to the cave. Then go to where the fish is and there he is. That's why they give you 90 seconds to get there instead of using pad 5.


View control

When you are playing "Donkey Kong 64" hold the "R" button and walk the direction you need to go.

Go to Funky's in level 1. Get Diddy and stand on the right side next to the flower. Back up a bit and Chimpy Charge ito the wall.



If done right, you should go into the wall and be able to walk around on top of nothing.



Be careful though because if you go over a river or walkway you fall in.



You can also get to the only spot in the level that can be accessed by Lanky.


How to beat the 4th boss

Keep on going though every DK Star before you run out of time.You have to repeat this 4 times without losing all of your heath.


Blueprint Time Extension

If you collect all of Snide's Blueprints, your time to finish Hideout Helm will increase. The time varies of how many blueprints you collected during the game. Collect all of them to receive a surprise!


Getting Around the Gate Before Cart Race.

To do this you don' need to start the convarer belts and run up them in a certain time. Just run up the non-moving belts and once you get to the gate, jump one at an angle (off the ledge) toward the gate, then once back to the cart. You should be able to make it after a few tries.


Donkey Kong Glitch

Alright so once you have all the Blueprints and you talk to Snide he'll let you play mini-games like from the barrels you'd jump inside. So when you click on any of the mini-games you quickly press the Z button, the B button, and the A button all at once. You'll know when you have done the glitch because you'll start off in front of Donkey Kong on a platform with black nothingness around you and no music. Donkey Kong blinks but does not move and you can walk through him. There's a yellow balloon there that if you're Donkey Kong you can shoot and get 10 bananas. There are 4 square pillars you can get on. When you walk off into the black nothingness you'll start over where you began. The only way to get out of the glitch is to restart the system or turn it off and it will not harm your gam..
