These next few helpers may not have a pulse, but it’s imperative to master them in order to complete many levels along your path to victory and that gigantic banana horde. The controls may take some trial and error, but you will become a professional in no time.
Mine Cart
The Mine Cart for some might spell dread, while in others it might scream excitement! This time around, the Mine Cart levels are challenging but unfold in a cinematic and eye-popping animated production. The controls are the same as before: jumps the Cart, but you can also use the Circle Pad to hop to other tracks when prompted. The Mine Cart has always tested a player’s ability to react in a second’s notice, and this time around it is no different. Try and try again until you become the Mine Cart!
Rocket Barrel
The finesse and subtlety of the Rocket Barrel can only be understood by experiencing it in game. This mode of transportation may not move at great speeds, but that is not what it is about. It’s about the subtle tap of the button to avoid an obstacle, knowing the barrel’s propulsion limits as you let the Rocket Barrel slip between two enemies with ease. This barrel is unlike any other; when you have truly made this an extension of your own fingers, only then will you be able to call yourself a barrel master. Now all you have to do is collect all of those Puzzle Pieces…
Log Canoe
A Mine Cart level will transition seamlessly into DK riding atop a hollowed out log instead. This log floats on water, and it can take a few tries to get the handling down, especially since, when you jump the log, it lands and dives below the surface of the water. This allows you to avoid danger and collect items in the process. Accurate timing is essential while enjoying the log ride, so be sure to time those jumps correctly.
This section will cover every enemy throughout the game, both those that live on the islands and those who are part of the main invading army of ice-dwelling ru ans. All enemies, large and small, including bosses, will be explained in this section.
