07/24/00 - vERSION 0.1: Just when things looked grim, I decided to turn this

moves, enemies, allies and the items throughout the game.

01/18/03 - vERSION FINAL: Final guide.

  Run, Jump, Swim, Play, and chow down on some bananas as you explore a totally
new land in this adventure to Nintendo's Donkey Kong series, Donkey Kong Land 2.
You now have the chance to play as a totally new character in the Kong Family,
Dixie Kong, and continue to play as the lovable red-cap-wearing, pot-bellied-
monkey Diddy Kong (^_^). Where's the original Kong, Donkey Kong you say? Well
he's been kidna... I mean ape-napped by King K. Rool, THE sinister Croc, and
it's your duty to save big brother Kong. Not only to you get to move around in
the game, but also you get to see new levels and even have the chance to
discover the Lost World! [Not from the movie]. It's all jam-packed in this
Gameboy game for you to play. So what are you waiting for, make like a banana
and split!


==========
Background
==========
King K. Rool and his band of Kremlings apenapped Donkey Kong. They're demanding
the Kongs to hand over the banana hoard for donkey's safe return. Donkey Kong
would have a fit if they lost the banana hoard again. SO it's up to Diddy and
Dixie Kong to save him. Help the two monkeys make their way through all the
Kremlings and all the traps to find Donkey Kong.

Diddy's signature cartwheel attack lets him bowl over enemies. If he cartwheels
off the edge of a platform and then jumps, he'll leap a little farther than
normal

*Climb*

for a monkey to explore. Diddy and Dixie can not only climb up and down here,
but they can also climb to the right and left if the rope or chain allows it.

*Throw*
Diddy can pick up barrels and certain enemies (after stepping on them), and then

button to make Diddy swim. Use the Direction Control Pad to make him sink or
swim fast.

|Treasure|
<<<<<<<<
Kremcoins (Bonus Level Description included):
You can earn a Kremcoin in each Bonus Level. There are three different types of
Bonus Levels. In on type, you must collect all the stars to make the Kremcoin
appear. In the second type, the Kremcoin is hidden and you must find it. In the
third type, you have to defeat all the baddies to make it appear. You can use
Kremcoins to pay off the monstrous Klubba so you can cross his toll bridge. What
is on the other side? That's for you to find out!

Cranky's Video Game Hero Coin:
These huge DK coins are well hidden, one per level, by Cranky himself.
Collecting these will improve Diddy's status as a video game hero in Cranky's
eyes. You have not really finished a level until you have collected the Video
Game Hero Coin.

Banana Bunch Koins:
These coins are used to pay the various members of the Kong Family for their
help. Yes, the days of free advice are over. Even Old Cranky charges for his
words of wisdom (although the insults are still fee).

>>>>>
|Items|
<<<<<
Extra Life Balloons:
Pop one of these things to get an extra life.

Hot Air Balloon:
Use this balloon to safely float over lava, just don't run out of hot air or
things will get a little hotter.

Crates:
You'll find these scattered about the island. Picked up and thrown, hey make
good weapons to bean enemies with.

Bananas And Bananas Bunches:
The trail of bananas will lead you to your ape-napped buddy, Donkey Kong. It is
possible to get every banana, and in fact the bananas will point you in the
direction of secret areas, hidden items or the end of the level.

No Animal Sign:
This sign indicates that your animal friend cannot continue beyond this point.
If you try to  go past he'll simply disappear. Don't feel too bad, though.
You'll be rewarded depending on how difficult it was to reach the sign.

Kong Letters [K][O][N][G]:
Collect the letters to spell "KONG" and earn an extra life.

Treasure Chests:
These chests contain many different types of items. Break them open by throwing
them at enemies to discover what is inside.

Kannons and Kannonballs:
Kannonballs by themselves are good, reusable ammunition to throw at enemies. If
you place a kannonball in a kannon, it will flash, indicating that it's loaded.
Jump into the loaded kannon and it will launch you to a Bonus Level.

End of Level Target:
Jump on the target to end the level

>>>>>>>
|Barrels|
<<<<<<<
Plain Barrels:
What's more fun than a barrel of monkeys? How about Diddy and Dixie in a barrel?
There are tons of barrels in Donkey Kong Land 2 and most have special uses.

Bonus Barrels:
Bonus Barrels launch you into Bonus Levels when you jump into them.

Check Barrels (./) and X Barrels (X):
The Check Barrels will open the gates on the roller coaster, the X Barrels will
close the gates on the roller coaster.

Rotateable Barrel:
Use the right and left (> & <) buttons on the Direction Control Pad to rotate
this Barrel into the desired position.

Kannon Barrels:
There are several types of Barrel Kannons: The Arrow Barrels simply launches you
into the direction of the arrow. Use the Direction Control Pad to make your
character move to the right or left once you're airborne. Blast Barrels will
automatically launch you in a certain, pre-programmed direction. Delayed Blast
Barrels will allow you to aim them in the desired direction before they blast
you out. Be careful though, with some of these barrels you only have a limited
amount of time to shoot them before they go off automatically.

TNT Barrel:
TNT Barrels explode when they are thrown. Be careful, because some Kremlings
actually like to live in TNT Barrels...

DK Barrels:
Here's where you will find your partner if you don't already have him or her
with you. If you already have both characters, you won't be able to break this
barrel when it is in mid-air.

Star Barrels:
Star Barrels mark a midway point in the stage. If you break one of these
barrels, you'll continue at that point if you lose a life later in the level.

Exclamation Point Barrel:
Break these barrels to gain temporary invincibility.

Animal Barrel:
Barrels marked with an animal friend's picture will transform Diddy or Dixie
Kong into the animal if they jump in. If they jump into a barrel that shows a
picture of the animal you are already transformed into, you will gain an extra
hit as that animal (two hits maximum).

Biplane Barrel:
This flying barrel is available for rent from Funky Kong. Use it to travel back
to levels you have already visited.

|The Kong Family|
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Blood is thicker than water as they say. But in the Kong Family, it all comes
with a price.

([ Game Description ])
Even though Diddy and Dixie are supposed to be going on these quests on their
own, the rest of the Kong clan just couldn't stay out of it, especially since
there is money to be made helping beginning adventurers! You'll find all the
Kong Family members in the prime business locations throughout Crocodile Isle.

*****************
*Funky's Flights*
*****************
Funky's Flights are the only way to fly! If you've already been to an area, you
can use Funky's Flights to revisit that place. This time, though, you'll have to
pay your fare in Banana Coins to get a ticket.

***********************
*Wrinkly's Kong Kollege*
***********************
Wrinkly Kong's schoolroom is a vital place for the Kong's to visit. Even if
you're having fun on your adventure, you'll want to go to school because nice
Mrs. Wrinkly can save your game. Since this is a private school, you'll have to
pay tuition in Banana Bunch Koins.

****************
*Klubba's Kiosk*
****************
The towering Klubba is only friendly if you pay him. He demands payment of
anyone who would cross his bridge, but he'll only accept Kremkoins. What's on
the other side? Why would anyone want to go there? You'll have to find out for
yourself.


>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
|Animal Friends|
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
These guys really help you out when the going gets tough. Not only do they look
cute (yeah right), but also they pack a mean punch, charge, headbutt, or
whatever their specialty is. Friends are forever...

([ Game Description ])
Don't underestimate the value of good animal friends. They can be found
throughout the games different Worlds and Levels.

_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/

([ Game Description ])
Our heroes encounter tons of K. Rool's Kremling Crew during their treacherous
adventure on Crocodile Island. You'll need to outwit these swashbuckling baddies
to rescue DK and the banana hoard!

Klomp
This peg leg Kremling is the standard type you will encounter.

Klobber
This Kremling hides in a barrel. When you get close, he pops out and tries to
push you around.

Neek
Named for the annoying little squeaking sounds they make, these bilge rats
infest every corner of Crocodile Isle.

Kaboing
This Kremling bounces around on two spring-loaded peg legs.

Klinger
Look out below! Klinger climbs around in the rigging, ready to slide down on
anyone below him.

Click-Clack
If you flip this beetle on its back, you can carry it around and se it as a
weapon!

Kruncha
Muscle-bound and muscle-headed, Kruncha is impervious to Diddy and Dixie's
attacks. They only make him mad!

Kannon
It looks like Klump can shoot now!

Zinger
The bugs are back! Zingers return to endlessly buzz about and cause the Kongs
all kinds of problems.

Flitter
Flitter hovers in many locations. Bouncing off these dragonflies is a useful
means of reaching hidden areas, but be careful!

Klampon
He's Klamptraps' bigger brother, and he has a monstrous appetite for monkeys!

Klubba
His club should give you the a clue about what might happen if you try to cross
his bridge without paying the toll!

Floatsam

Lockjaw
This fat-lipped piranha will try to bite anyone who swims too close.

Shuri
Shuri spins around underwater, trying to skewer careless swimmers with his
pointy little arms.

Krook
Krook rockets his hooked hands at anything that comes near.

Puftup
Slowly but steadily, Puftup rises from the depths, getting bigger as he puffs
himself up. Watch out for his spines.

Spiny
Spiny may have a soft underside, but its quills will strike you if you get too
close.

Kutlass
Kutlass mail-ordered his razor-sharp swords from a TV offer. They turned out to
be a little bigger than they looked on his small screen.

Kaptain K. Rook
The leader of the pack is back, and this time he's packing a blunderbuss!
