You probably haven't heard of me before, probably because this is one of my first FAQs on GameFAQs. I wrote this guide mainly for those people out there who like to cheat, but also for those who wish to beat the game with as high percentage as possible. Enjoy! Note: If you would like to use this guide on your site, email me and I will happily let you AS LONG AS YOU DON'T DISPLAY THE GUIDE AS YOUR OWN. Cheers. =========================================================================== 3) Required Moves =========================================================================== Before reading ths FAQ, there are a few required moves you need to learn. These are fairly easy, no where near as hard as Kiddy's Water Skip Move. Here they are: Number One: Dixie's Helicopter Spin ------------------------------------- Perform this straight-forward move by jumping with the A button, then holding B and either left or right to spin to new areas. Number Two: Kiddy's Rolling Jump ------------------------------------- This can sometimes be used as an alternative for Dixie's Helicopter Spin. Simply run towards the edge of a platform, then tap the B button. After rolling a fair distance, but before losing too much height, press and hold A and hold the direction you want to go. Number Three: Team Up Throw (Dixie) ------------------------------------- This is the hardest of the three moves, but is quite simple to master anyway. Switch so that you control Kiddy, then tap the R button. Dixie will jump onto Kiddy's shoulders. Here's the harder bit: jump up with Kiddy,then tap B. Immediately afterwards,hold the up button. Dixie will fly skywards to any secrets. You can also hold a direction to make her jump that way. =========================================================================== 4) Warp Barrels =========================================================================== Here's where I explain to you where to go for those Warp Barrels. For those of you you don't know what a Warp barrel is, it is an invisible barrel hidden somewhere at the start of a level. Once found, the barrel will take you directly to the end of the level. However, a note for all those freeloaders out there, you can't 'Warp' for ever, as the barrels only appear in the first two stages. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4AA) Lake Orangatanga --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The first stage in the game. The levels here should be easy enough, even without the help of the Warp. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4AB) Lakeside Limbo --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Grab some life balloons- you'll need them for the boss. They are located on top of the first two shelters (right above you). Throw Dixie up there to get them. On to the Warp Barrel. Grab the first DK barrel of the level, then head to the ledge on the left. Throw dixie up, then to the left. You'll pick up an invisible Bear coin before finding the Warp Barrel. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4AC) Doorstop Dash --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Keep going until you find the suspended wooden platform, just before the letter O. Jump with Kiddy from the right-hand side of the platform, then throw Dixie up into the Barrel. When you get to the end, change to dixie and helicopter spin below you to grab a life balloon, and the end of level flag. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4AD) Tidal Trouble --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Throw Dixie onto the shelter to get the steel keg and throw it behind Koin to get the DK coin. Now jump into the water on the right. After seeing the DK Barrel and swimming past the red coco in the water, switch to Kiddy and jump onto the wood in the middle of the water. Now throw Dixie up and to the left, revealing the hidden 'W' Barrel. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4AE) Skidda's Row --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Keep running until you find the first house with a Skidda running on it. Kill him, then either roll jump or helicopter spin to the left to find the Warp Barrel. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4AF) Murky Mill --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Probably the easiest of the Warp Barrels, jump onto the lift to the right of where you start. Once at the top, toss Dixie up into the very left corner. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4BA) Kremwood Forest --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The second stage of the game. Only a few more Warp Barrels and you'll be on your own! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4BB) Springin' Spiders --------------------------------------------------------------------------- A rather easy-to-find Warp, simply jump onto the second spider and onto the platform above it. Now do a roll jump across into the space below the next platform to reveal another Warp Barrel. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4BC) Riverside Race --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Probably the hardest Warp Barrel to get, dodge the swarm of bees whilst trying to throw Dixie up and above the first pond of water. This gets the best time in PAL versions, but sadly will only get you a time of 59.59.99 in the American version of the game. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4BD) Squeels on Wheels --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Another easy Warp. simply hit the sneek with a barrel to open the roller door, then toss dixie up into the left corner just outside the door. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4BE) Barrel Shield Bust Up --------------------------------------------------------------------------- This Warp Barrel takes an age to find. Compared to the others, anyway. When you come to the two green buzzes circling a banana bunch,go right and down the hole in the floor. Immediately hold left on the control pad. You'll go straight past an invisible blast barrel to find the Warp Barrel. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4BF) Bobbing Barrel Brawl --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Here you have it. You've come to the very last Warp-Barrel-Stage. Roll under the red Buzz and stop. Throw Dixie up to the right of the Booty Bird to find the last Warp Barrel. =========================================================================== 5) Cheat Codes =========================================================================== There are a whole new batch of cheat codes in this game, but sadly none of them really work to your advantage. Just like all DK games, I guess they want to give you a challenge. Enter the following codes at the 'Cheats' section in the Options menu. AQUA - Gives you all the Bonus Coins EXTRAS - Makes the minigames throughout the game accessible via the menu HARDER - Takes away all the Star Barrels KREDITS - Lets you view the staff credits roll MONKEY - Start the game with 50 lives MUSIC - Sound Test TUFFER - Takes away all the DK barrels AND continue barrels. Finish the game with this cheat enabled to get 105%. =========================================================================== 6) Banana Birds =========================================================================== Banana Birds are just there t give you an extra challenge in the game. To achieve 103%, you must collect all banana birds (this includes getting all the DK coins, too). Otherwise they are not needed to finish the game. There are 4 ways of finding a bird- either finish Swanky's Dash minigame with 90 or more stars, beat Cranky's Training, trade for items from the Brothers Bear or find them in Banana Bird Caves, which is the general way of finding them. When you come across a B.B cave, simply repeat the memory process to unlock the bird. Or you could write down the order - either way. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- B.B.1: Bounty Beach --------------------------------------------------------------------------- As soon as you start the game, go up to Funky's rentals and hire the motorboat. Now take it just to the right of Funky's into the cove. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- B.B.2: Smuggler's Cove --------------------------------------------------------------------------- After beating Doorstop Dash in Lake Orangatanga, swim into the lake and up past the two jettys. Go up to the very top near a thin stretch of beach and press A until you find this Banana Bird Cave. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- B.B.3 Bachelor Pad --------------------------------------------------------------------------- You will need 20 Bear coins and the hovercraft for this Banana Bird. First go to Bachelor in Lake Orangatanga and get his flower. Then go to Bramble's Bungalow (Next to Mekanos and Cotton Top Cove). Trade the flower for his rose. Now go down near Wrinkly's to Bazaar's General Store and buy his box of chocolates for 20 bear coins. Finally return to Bachelor to trade for his Banana Bird. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- B.B.4 Arich's Hoard --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Get a time of under 1.15.00 on the Riverside Race (Perhaps use the Warp Barrel) then talk to Brash. His anger is so great it knocks a log down the river, unlocking a secret banana bird cave. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- B.B.5 Kong Cave --------------------------------------------------------------------------- After beating Arich and getting the hovercraft off Funky, zoom off to the place you started the game from and up past the rocks to this Banana Bird Cave. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- B.B.6 Bounty Bay --------------------------------------------------------------------------- In Cottontop Cove, swim north of Bazza's Blockade and just East of the waterfall to find this secret Banana Bird Cave. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- B.B.7 Undercover Cove --------------------------------------------------------------------------- After getting the Jetski from Funky, go up the waterfall next to Kong Cave and onto the beach on the right. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- B.B.8 Bramble's Bungalow --------------------------------------------------------------------------- After giving Bramble the flower from Bachelor and relieving him of the destructiveness coming from Mekanos, talk to Bramble and he will give you his banana bird. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- B.B.9 Glacial Grotto --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Just left of Blizzard's Basecamp in K3 is where you'll find this Banana Bird. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- B.B.10 Skyhigh Secret --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Go to Blizzard's Basecamp in K3 and he'll give you a present for his friend, Blue's birthday. Take it to Blue in Cotton Top Cove. He'll open it, but as he can't really do anything with a bowling ball, he'll give it to you. Take the ball to Brigadier Bazooka Bear in Mekanos and he'll fire you into Sky high secret. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- B.B.11 Clifftop Cache --------------------------------------------------------------------------- First off, purchase the mirror from Bazaar for a whopping 50 bear coins. Then take it to Barter in K3 and trade it for the wrench. Take the wrench to Bjorn in Razor Ridge to get his chairlift back and working. The lift will take you to Clifftop Cache. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- B.B.12 Barnacle's Island --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Buy the shell from Bazaar and then trade for Barnacle's Banana Bird in Pacifica. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- B.B.13 Whirlpool Wreck --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Swim north of Barbos' Barrier in Pacifica to find this Banana Bird Cave. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- B.B.14 Sewer Stockpile --------------------------------------------------------------------------- In Kaos Kore, swim a figure eight around the two rocks in the water (starting from the top of the left rock). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- B.B.15 Belcha's Burrow --------------------------------------------------------------------------- After getting all of the DK coins, go to Funky to get the Gyrocopter. Go down to the very south-west corner of the Northern Kremisphere to find Belcha's Burrow. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- B.B.16 Hilltop Hoard --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fly up to the North-east corner of the map with the Gyrocopter to find hilltop hoard. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- B.B.17 K's Kache --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using the Gyrocopter, fly up just above Pacifica to find the last Banana Bird Cave. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- B.B.18 Cranky's Dojo --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Smash away all of the Bristles' with Cranky to get this Banana Bird. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- B.B.19 Swanky's Dash --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Get at least 90 out of 100 stars on Swanky's dash to get this Banana Bird. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- B.B.20 Funky's Minigames --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Beat all four of Funky's minigames to get the final Banana Bird. =========================================================================== 7) Credits =========================================================================== I'd like to thank the following people: Gamefaqs, for hosting this guide.
