Press both together and release for a ground jump. A attacks in the air; START opens pause during a stage. Tap a stored Crystal Star to activate temporary invincibility and flight.
DK Jungle Climber — About this game
DK Jungle Climber builds its platforming around Donkey Kong’s hands. Hold a peg with one hand to rotate, release at the right angle to fly towards the next grip, or use both hands to steady the position. Islands contain several stages and a boss, with the Goal Gate marking a stage’s exit. Bananas supply extra lives, while jewels build Crystal Stars that briefly make DK invincible and able to fly. Diddy adds another way to reach distant enemies and objects when he joins the adventure. The challenge is to read the next set of pegs and choose a release angle before momentum carries you past a safe landing.
