If you have trouble with my descriptions, Nintendo operates a
free (except for standard long-distance charge) "help line"
that can be used from any touch-tone phone. The line's number
is 206-885-7529 -- be sure you have permission from whoever is
responsible for paying your phone bills! Press any key to skip
the introduction. At the next three menus, press 1 (game
hints), then 4 (DKC games), then 2 (DKC-2).
I also recommend the DKC2 player's guide, which is out now
and costs $11. You can order it directly from Nintendo at
1-800-255-3700 (for $13.00 including shipping and handling).
The guide includes more information than is available in this
FAQ, and color detailed maps of every level. My copy arrived
just today as I was wrapping up the FAQ.
Minor terminology note: DKC2 has two different things called
"Kannon" in the manual -- (1) the upwards-pointing cannon
which can take you to a bonus area (which is harmless); and
(2) Klump (from DKC) carrying a cannon (who is definitely NOT
harmless). For the sake of clarity, I call for the former
"Kannon" and the latter "Klump."

You can reach objects or platforms that are just out of
jumping range by "teaming up." When you have both Diddy
and Dixie, press the "A" button once to pick up the other
monkey. While holding "up" on the directional pad, press
the "Y" button to throw the other monkey upwards. You
can also do this while jumping.
IMPORTANT NOTE: DKC2 has copy protection. It detects the the Game
Genie and (thinking that it is a game copying device) refuses to
operate. The first code, which takes up three lines, must be entered
to disable this protection. Any of the remaining codes may then be
entered in the two remaining slots.

10. EEC2-1A1D / EECC-CA4D When last monkey is hit, other one returns

when playing Diddy and Dixie. It does NOT keep you from dying
when playing one of the animal characters or when being carried
by Squawks. It also does not keep you from dying from falling
off the bottom of the screen.
Code #10 does not work well in the roller-coaster levels,
especially the one with Kackle (the big skeleton/ghost).
After "dying," the monkeys will re-appear running beside the
roller coaster car, and may be unable to enter any "tunnel,"
including bonus areas and the end of the level.]

There is a shortcut in every level in the first two worlds
(Gangplank Galleon and Crocodile Cauldron). Generally,
these shortcuts are invisible barrel cannons very near
the entrance, which direct you to a room with some bananas.
The room exits at the end target.
Pirate Panic (in Gangplank Galleon):
The warp barrel is above the first barrel that you can stand
on from the entrance (a few screens past the first DK barrel).
Use the team-up throw to reach it.
Mainbrace Mayhem (in Gangplank Galleon):
The warp barrel is aligned with the mast at the entry
point, below the sail. Use Dixie's helicopter jump to
float under the sail and back to the left.
Gangplank Galley (in Gangplank Galleon):
The warp barrel is above the second-highest barrel in the
stack at the entry. Use the team-up throw to reach it.
Lockjaw's Locker (in Gangplank Galleon):
After the water level rises, head back to the left and
follow the ceiling. The barrel is in an opening that
is two squares high and one square wide.
Topsail Trouble (in Gangplank Galleon):
The warp barrel is below the sail that you start on, just
about aligned with the mast. Use Dixie's helicopter jump
to reach it.
Hot-Head Hop (in Crocodile Cauldron):
The warp barrel is above the entry. Team-up to jump
above the entry door, then team-up to jump from there.
[Thanks to: Dave Kliman, dkliman@pb.net]
Kannon's Klaim (in Crocodile Cauldron):
The warp barrel is below the left-hand edge of the third
platform. Use Dixie's helicopter jump from the platform
to get there.
Lava Lagoon (in Crocodile Cauldron):
The warp barrel is up near the ceiling about even with
the first large, seaweed-covered crate on the floor.
Team-up and throw upwards to reach it.
Red-Hot Ride (in Crocodile Cauldron):
The warp barrel is above the first steam jet to the right
of [K]. Use the team-up throw to reach it.
Squawk's Shaft (in Crocodile Cauldron):
The warp barrel is under the right-hand platform at the
bottom of the level; use Dixie's helicopter jump to float
over the banana coin and to the extreme right.
[Thanks to: Dave Kliman, dkliman@pb.net]
Parrot Chute Panic (in Gloomy Gulch):
When you reach a crate, use it to break open a nearby wall.
This one isn't a real "warp" because it doesn't skip the
entire level.
Rickety Race (in Krazy Kremland):
Hold "LEFT" on the controller to get a secret green "+"
barrel at the start of the race. Break the barrel to
move very quickly through the level.
This one isn't a real "warp" because it doesn't skip the
entire level.
Start to play an empty (or erased) game. You will be given
a screen which presents three modes of play (one player,
two player cooperative, two player competitive).
Go to the bottom selection and press "down" on the control
pad about five or six times. You will get a "Sound Test"
selection, which permits you (with left or right on the
control pad) to cycle through all of the musical selections
that the game offers.
Press "down" on the control pad about five or six more
times, and you will get a "Cheat Mode" selection.
Codes:
I've been told of two controller codes in E-mail (it has
been claimed on the net that there are three in total).
I have not tried them myself, but they are:
Q-6: How do I activate the animals' special powers?
Press and hold the "A" button for a while.
It will enable Enguarde (the swordfish) or Rambi (the
rhino) to charge and break open some walls. It will
enable Rattly (the snake) to jump extra high.
Squitter (the spider) and Squawks (the parrot) don't
have special attacks that require holding of the "A"
button.

"DK" coins:

overhead.) Entry - BONUS BARREL; Game - DESTROY

platform, and having Squawks spit eggs.

C-9. General notes and strategy hints
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
+ Entries to all bonus areas are either doorways, bonus barrels,
or Kannons. Doorways can be opened by throwing a barrel at them,
or by using some of the animals' special attacks. To enter the
bonus area through a Kannon, you must carry a Kannonball in with
you.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
C-10. Kinds of bonus areas
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
FIND - The Kremkoin is hidden somewhere and you must find it.
There are two basic variants:
(1) the bonus area is rather large, the coin is quite a
distance away, and you have to get to it;
(2) the bonus area is very small but the coin is in a chest
that must be opened (sometimes there are many chests
and you must pick the right one, other times there is a
single chest that takes many "hits" to open).
DESTROY - You must kill all enemies in the bonus area to make
the Kremkoin appear.
COLLECT - You must collect most or all of the stars in the bonus
area to make the Kremkoin appear. (The number of stars
which you must still collect is given in the upper left
corner of the screen. When the counter reaches zero the
Kremkoin will appear in its fixed location.)
Following are short, semi-vague descriptions of other useful but
hard-to-find objects:
