Donkey Kong Country Moves
Jump  Press the B Button to make Donkey or Diddy Jump. Most enemies can be defeated by stomping on their heads.
Barrel Roll  Donkey's primary attack turns him into a living bowling ball. This attack will scatter almost any enemy. Press the Y Button to pull it off.
Cartwheel Attack  Diddy's primary attack isn't as powerful as DK's but it does get the job done. Use it by pressing B.
Run  If you can't defeat an enemy, the best backup is to run away. Hold Y while moving to escape!
Swim  Though both Donkey and Diddy are excellent swimmers, Diddy has a slight advantage in that he is smaller. Tap the B Button to swim.
Swinging  No, not going to downtown dance clubs, swinging on vines! Both Kongs can climb and swing on vines.
Tossing Barrels  Both Kongs can toss barrels, but they toss them differently. Diddy holds barrels in front of him like a shield, while Donkey holds barrels high above his head. Press Y to pick up a barrel and release the button to throw it. To place it back down carefully, hold Down on the Control Pad while releasing Y.
Who Should Lead?  Both Donkey and Diddy have advantages and disadvantages. Donkey can take out enemies easier than Diddy can, but Diddy can move a bit faster. Both jump the same height, but Donkey can get his hands higher to reach higher items, while Diddy can get his feet higher to reach higher platforms. It will take teamwork to get back the banana hoard! 

Donkey Kong Country Items
Bananas  These are what you're looking for. You don't have to collect every banana you see, but if you collect 100, you'll get an extra life!
Extra Life Balloons  A DK balloon will show how many lives you have left. You'll find different color 1-up balloons during your adventure. A Red Balloon will give you a 1-up, a green a 2-up and the rare blue will give you a 3-up!
K-O-N-G Letters  In every stage, you'll find KONG letters. If you can spell out KONG in that stage, you'll get an extra life!
Animal Tokens  If you manage to collect 3 Animal Tokens of the same animal, you'll be warped to a bonus game where you can play as that animal! Collect 100 small statues to get a 1-up.
DK Barrel  If you happen to lose your partner, you'll find him in a barrel with DK on the side.
Regular Barrel  These barrels can be used to break open doors or break enemies.
Blast Barrel  Jump into this barrel and you'll be blasted off into the air! There are some barrels which you can fire by pressing B.
Continue Barrel  Break this to mark your progress through a stage. If you happen to lose a life you'll start back off here.
Steel Keg  Toss this against a wall and it will bounce off. Jump on it on the rebound and take a ride!
TNT Barrel  This barrel is full of explosives! If you pick it up and set it down, it will explode!
