Donkey Kong 64 - Strategy Guide (Page 09)
Below are the cheat codes, hints and help for Donkey Kong 64 - Strategy Guide (Page 09).
Banana Medal: If you get 75 out of a possible 100 bananas for a Kong,
you automatically receive a Banana Medal! Since there are
five different Kongs, and five different colors of banana,
this means you can collect a total of five Banana Medals
per stage.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Golden Banana: A reward for a tricky puzzle or demanding action
sequence, you need Golden Bananas to open up the entrance
to the actual levels themselves. Be sure to keep your
eyes peeled for these highly important items (pun not
intended...I think)! As in older 3D platformers, each
level has an increasing amount of bananas required in
order to enter.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Banana Coin: These can be found lying around the level in semi-hidden
areas, and come in the same colors as the Banana. You will
need these to pay for Cranky, Candy, and Funky's valuable
services.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Supply Crates: When you're low on gun ammunition, be sure to pick up one
of these!
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Crystal Coconuts: When you jump into a Kong Barrel (see below), the
amount of time you get solely depends on how many of
these crystallized melons you have...you use one every
five seconds.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Oranges: Littering each stage, these serve as grenades, and allow even
the most weak Kongs to fight back with heavy firepower. Just
be sure the deadly fruit doesn't ricochet and blow up in your
face!
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Melon Slices: These will appear after defeating a group of enemies...it
will increase one melon on your health meter by 1/4.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Melon Crates: A rare sight indeed, these crates will expend four Melon
Slices when broken open.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Blue Prints: These are color-coded in a similar fashion to Bananas, and
there are a total of five in each level. A Blue Print is
always held by a Kasplat enemy, and will only be given up
once said creature is defeated. Return these scrolls to
Snide in order to earn your reward!
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Battle Arena Pad: In each level, there is a single, metallic pad with a
picture of K. Rool's mug on it. Stand on the hidden
pad and press 'Z' to be transported to an arena in
which you try to stay alive against wave after wave of
bad guys. If you survive, you get a Crown.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Crown: Reiterating what I said earlier, you receive a Crown by winning a
Battle Arena mini-game.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Banana Film: Use these with your Banana Camera.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Banana Fairies: Apparently, if you take a certain amount of pictures of
different fairies, you can earn quite a lot of special
rewards and secrets, including a Boss Battle Replay
Mode...
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Boss Key: Earned each time you defeat a level guardian, these will be
required if you wish to open K. Lumsy's cage.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rareware/Nintendo Coins: Talk about easter eggs! If you can find Jetpac,
Rareware's first ever game, and get over 5,000
points, you receive the Rareware Coin. If you
beat the Donkey Kong Arcade game, you get the
Nintendo Coin. These two items will be
required later in the game to collect the last
Boss Key.
See the bonus games chapter for a more detailed
walkthrough.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
DK Portals: These connect the overworld with each level. In/out --
simple enough even for you I imagine. Just remember, each
new stage requires a arm-full or two of Golden Bananas in
order to unlock.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wrinkly Doors: No, the doors aren't wrinkly, silly. Instead, these will
allow you to talk to the late Wrinkly Kong in order to
gain some valuable hints. These always appear in the
lobby alongside the DK Portal...one for each character.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Switches: There are two types of switches: Kong and Gun. Kong switches
have a picture of your character on it -- simply do a simian
slam or other such move in order to activate it. Gun Switches
must be hit with the corresponding ammunition in order to
function (Donkey = Coconuts, Diddy = Peanuts, Lanky = Grapes,
Tiny = Feathers, Chunky = Pineapples).
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Headphones: Replenish your music power.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Animal Crates: Allow you to transform into the animal pictured on the
side! Its abilities will be very useful, without a doubt.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Troff 'n' Scoff Portals: Each stage is filled with hand-fulls of these
things, but they all lead to the same, single
area. Feed the nasty duo bananas until their
stomachs burst, and you will have access to
that world's guardian.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bananaport Pad: Each world has about six or seven numbered pads, each
with a twin, that allow you to quickly warp from one
side of the level to the next. For example, if I touch a
"1" at the beginning, and later I find a second "1",
then I may warp between the first "1" and the second
"1." Be sure to memorize which pad goes where, because
it can shave off a lot of time wandering around.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tag Barrels: Hop into these floating barrels, and then make your
selection of which character you want to use. You can use
this as many times as you want. You will also be pleased to
know that your health will be replenished when you re-enter
the stage.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kong Barrel: Only the Kong shown on the side of the barrel may make use
of its mystical powers (said Kong will also need a
plentiful supply of Crystal Coconuts). These powers are
very important, so if you see one of the barrels, there's a
reason for it being there.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Blast Barrel: These are mainly in sub-games, and allow you to shoot from
one blast barrel to the next via a first-person view.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Barrel: Your regular, bland, non-descript barrel that has filled DKC
games since the beginning, although they are much more rare this
time around. Use them to bowl over enemies!
------------------------------------------------------------------------
TNT-Barrel: Packed with TNT powder, these heavy barrels will explode
when it comes into contact with anything. Extremely
powerful!
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bonus Barrel: These lead to bonus mini-games a la Donkey Kong Country 2
and 3. The prize is always a Golden Banana!
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Vines: More numerous than in any DKC game before it, vines are a common
sight in DK64's stages. Simply run, jump, grab -- and when the
vine is at the proper angle -- leap from it to the next.

CHAPTER 19) CREDITS
========================================================================
COMPANIES
------------
Rareware: For making such an incredible and enjoyable game!
INTERNET SITES
-----------------
Rareware : Home of all that is Rare. A must-see site,
and very bookmark-able due to its hilarious nature. The best videogame
company site ever!
GameFAQs : A huge vault that holds all of my -- plus
hundreds of other's -- FAQs. Honestly, if you can't find help here,
you're just out of luck.
PEOPLE
---------
Jeff "CJayC" Veasey : For kindly accepting my
FAQs, and for making such a cool site.
Johnny Wei : For his very useful trick for the boss
of Creepy Castle.
Your_name_goes_here : For being such a, er, help.
========================================================================
CHAPTER 20) CONTACT INFORMATION
========================================================================
Feel free to contact the insane author of this FAQ, marshmallow, with
any e-mail, corrections, adorations, admonitions, praise, damnation,
condemnation, or death threats at: marshmallow@nintendomail.com. I still
accept mail sent to m_mallow@hotmail.com, but I don't check it as
regularly as my primary, Nintendonext account.
Basically, there are five different types of e-mail I will receive on a
daily basis.
QUESTIONS:
------------
I will answer questions to the best of my ability, but not necessarily
immediately. Who knows...you may get an answer hours after sending it,
or maybe even weeks. Do not e-mail me telling me to "answer your
questions", unless you like to be ignored. Also, please realize that I
do have a real life outside the Internet.
School, friends, what have you. Hey, sometimes I might not even get on
the Internet for a few days if I pick up a hot new game that I enjoy.
If you ask a question that has been answered in the FAQ, I will most
definitely ignore it. If your question is poorly written (e.g. "Hez waz
up, dawg? Got mez uh q!") I will delete it. Etc., etc...
PRAISE LETTERS:
-----------------
Hey, you mean people actually receive help from me and like to praise my
work? Believe me, though I may not reply to it, I do appreciate your
comments. Though, most people, if they praise me, do it along with a
question, in which I might reply something like, "Yeah, thanks for the
support. As for your problem..."
HATE LETTERS:
---------------
I've received very few of these, but it's happened. Chances are high
that I may not reply, but if you present a valid criticism, I may
acknowledge your critique. As for those less intellectual letters, heh,
they're always good for laughs.
JOB APPLICATIONS:
-------------------
Though I can assure you I will be flattered, I will *not* work for your
site exclusively (or even as a third party). I don't care how much
money, women, or drugs you offer me, either. No means no, okay?
CHAIN LETTERS:
----------------
No, I don't care about what kind of whore house your uncle runs. No, I
don't know who Louie is and why he has a fetish for panties. No, I don't
think a piano is going to mysteriously appear out of thin air and fall
on me if I don't send a piece of sh!t letter to other people. No, I
won't send you cash for a "dying" (yeah, right) kid who is infected with
brain cancer, though sometimes I wonder if YOU'RE the one with brain
cancer. No, I don't care about this new, amazing revelation about weight
loss (my muscle to fat ratio is quite normal, thank you very much). And,
finally, I will *not* make out with you!
I apologize for the aforementioned subjects, because they had some
questionable material. However, considering this is a FAQ for an E
rated game with copious amounts of monkeys and pineapples, I assume you
will not be offended by a little sexual innuendo.
Sincerely,
marshmallow
