How to Play DK: King of Swing
Quick start
Choose Adventure and a save file, then start Jungle World. On the ground, use L and R to step and press both together to jump; in the air, grab pegs with the matching hand and release after building rotation to launch onward. The opening stages teach the unusual two-button movement, so practise alternating hands before charging attacks. Collect medals and bananas on safe arcs rather than releasing at maximum speed every time.
Controls
Ground: L steps left, R steps right, and L+R jumps; D-Pad Left/Right can also walk. Air: L grabs with the left hand, R with the right, and both grab together. Hold L on a peg to rotate anticlockwise or R clockwise, then release to launch. Hold L+R to charge and release an attack. A uses Going Bananas; B spends bananas to heal. START pauses/opens the menu; SELECT is unused.
