I don't know if this is a trick in a way, but you can get Dixie/Diddy throw things inmediatily when grabbing them, much like DKC.
You remember, how in DKC you could release the Y button while carrying something and it would be thrown even before it was grabbed? In DKC2 the thing changed and you had to wait until it was grabbed for the monkey to throw it, though the same thing wasn't for jumping. In DKC you couldn't jump while grabbing something, and in DKC2 you were capable of doing so.
So, the trick is fairly easy to perform, actually; but you must know exactly how to do it. When you grab anything, press jump to make the kong inmediatily grab the object, but inmediatily after pressing jump, release Y. The result? The object would be inmediatily thrown and you won't even jump. That's because when you jump, the kong stays in the floor for like 2 or 3 frames (if I'm correct this never happened in DKC) taking impulse, and when you are grabbing something, the same physics are used and so you also stay in the floor. And since the object is carried right when the sprites change, you can throw it even before you start jumping! That's also why you don't jump, the kong didn't have time to take off ground so the game never makes you jump.
Too technical but hope you get me ^^
