07/24 - vERSION 0.1: Just when things looked grim, I decided to turn this 
walkthrough into a mini manual faq. In it are explanations of the characters 
moves, enemies, allies and the items throughout the game.

   Run, Jump, Swim, Play, and chow down on some bananas as you explore a totally 
new land in this adventure to Nintendo's Donkey Kong series, Donkey Kong Land 2. 
You now have the chance to play as a totally new character in the Kong Family, 
Dixie Kong, and continue to play as the lovable red-cap-wearing, pot-bellied-
monkey Diddy Kong (^_^). Where's the original Kong, Donkey Kong you say? Well 
he's been kidna... I mean ape-napped by King K. Rool, THE sinister Croc, and 
it's your duty to save big brother Kong. Not only to you get to move around in 
the game, but also you get to see new levels and even have the chance to 
discover the Lost World! [Not from the movie]. It's all jam-packed in this 
Gameboy game for you to play. So what are you waiting for, make like a banana 
and split!


==========
Background
==========
King K. Rool and his band of Kremlings apenapped Donkey Kong. They're demanding 
the Kongs to hand over the banana hoard for donkey's safe return. Donkey Kong 
would have a fit if they lost the banana hoard again. SO it's up to Diddy and 
Dixie Kong to save him. Help the two monkeys make their way through all the 
Kremlings and all the traps to find Donkey Kong.

===========
About Diddy
===========
Diddy's in the starring role this time and he's off to prove himself a true 
member of the Kong Family of Video Game Heroes. He'll have his work cut out for 
him as he storms Kaptain K. Rool's pirate haven on Crocodile Isle!


*Cartwheel*
Diddy's signature cartwheel attack lets him bowl over enemies. If he cartwheels 
off the edge of a platform and then jumps, he'll leap a little farther than 
normal

*Climb*
Crocodile Isle is covered with climbable terrain, which makes it a perfect place 
for a monkey to explore. Diddy and Dixie can not only climb up and down here, 
but they can also climb to the right and left if the rope or chain allows it.

*Throw*
Diddy can pick up barrels and certain enemies (after stepping on them), and then 
throw them.

*Swim*
Swimming comes in handy in the many aquatic areas of Crocodile Isle. Tap the B 
button to make Diddy swim. Use the Direction Control Pad to make him sink or 
swim fast.

*Run*
Hold down the B button as you move to make Diddy run. Running makes the game 
faster and more exciting.

Select- Switch from Diddy Kong to Dixie Kong. (When you have both)
        Also executes Animal friend's special ability.

((Dixie's Controls))
===========
About Dixie
===========
Dixie and Diddy are inseparable friends and go everywhere together. Both share a 
love of adventure and the awesome abilities to make it fun! Dixie's powerful 
ponytail allows her to equal and sometimes even surpass Diddy's adventuring 
abilities.

*Helicopter Spin*
Using her

Select- Switch from Dixie Kong to Diddy Kong. (When you have both)
        Also executes Animal friend's special ability.

|Treasure|
 <<<<<<<<
Kremcoins (Bonus Level Description included):
You can earn a Kremcoin in each Bonus Level. There are three different types of 
Bonus Levels. In on type, you must collect all the stars to make the Kremcoin 
appear. In the second type, the Kremcoin is hidden and you must find it. In the 
third type, you have to defeat all the baddies to make it appear. You can use 
Kremcoins to pay off the monstrous Klubba so you can cross his toll bridge. What 
is on the other side? That's for you to find out!

Cranky's Video Game Hero Coin:
These huge DK coins are well hidden, one per level, by Cranky himself. 
Collecting these will improve Diddy's status as a video game hero in Cranky's 
eyes. You have not really finished a level until you have collected the Video 
Game Hero Coin.

Banana Bunch Koins:
These coins are used to pay the various members of the Kong Family for their 
help. Yes, the days of free advice are over. Even Old Cranky charges for his 
words of wisdom (although the insults are still fee).

 >>>>>
|Items|
 <<<<<
Extra Life Balloons:
Pop one of these things to get an extra life.

Hot Air Balloon:
Use this balloon to safely float over lava, just don't run out of hot air or 
things will get a little hotter.

Crates:
You'll find these scattered about the island. Picked up and thrown, hey make 
good weapons to bean enemies with.

Bananas And Bananas Bunches:
The trail of bananas will lead you to your ape-napped buddy, Donkey Kong. It is 
possible to get every banana, and in fact the bananas will point you in the 
direction of secret areas, hidden items or the end of the level.

No Animal Sign:
This sign indicates that your animal friend cannot continue beyond this point. 
If you try to  go past he'll simply disappear. Don't feel too bad, though. 
You'll be rewarded depending on how difficult it was to reach the sign.

Kong Letters [K][O][N][G]:
Collect the letters to spell "KONG" and earn an extra life.

Treasure Chests:
These chests contain many different types of items. Break them open by throwing 
them at enemies to discover what is inside.

Kannons and Kannonballs:
Kannonballs by themselves are good, reusable ammunition to throw at enemies. If 
you place a kannonball in a kannon, it will flash, indicating that it's loaded. 
Jump into the loaded kannon and it will launch you to a Bonus Level.

End of Level Target:
Jump on the target to end the level

 >>>>>>>
|Barrels|
 <<<<<<<
Plain Barrels:
What's more fun than a barrel of monkeys? How about Diddy and Dixie in a barrel? 
There are tons of barrels in Donkey Kong Land 2 and most have special uses.

Bonus Barrels:
Bonus Barrels launch you into Bonus Levels when you jump into them.

Check Barrels (./) and X Barrels (X):
The Check Barrels will open the gates on the roller coaster, the X Barrels will 
close the gates on the roller coaster.

Rotateable Barrel:
Use the right and left (> & <) buttons on the Direction Control Pad to rotate 
this Barrel into the desired position.

Kannon Barrels:
There are several types of Barrel Kannons: The Arrow Barrels simply launches you 
into the direction of the arrow. Use the Direction Control Pad to make your 
character move to the right or left once you're airborne. Blast Barrels will 
automatically launch you in a certain, pre-programmed direction. Delayed Blast 
Barrels will allow you to aim them in the desired direction before they blast 
you out. Be careful though, with some of these barrels you only have a limited 
amount of time to shoot them before they go off automatically.

TNT Barrel:
TNT Barrels explode when they are thrown. Be careful, because some Kremlings 
actually like to live in TNT Barrels...

DK Barrels:
Here's where you will find your partner if you don't already have him or her 
with you. If you already have both characters, you won't be able to break this 
barrel when it is in mid-air.

Star Barrels:
Star Barrels mark a midway point in the stage. If you break one of these 
barrels, you'll continue at that point if you lose a life later in the level.

Exclamation Point Barrel:
Break these barrels to gain temporary invincibility.

Animal Barrel:
Barrels marked with an animal friend's picture will transform Diddy or Dixie 
Kong into the animal if they jump in. If they jump into a barrel that shows a 
picture of the animal you are already transformed into, you will gain an extra 
hit as that animal (two hits maximum).

Biplane Barrel:
This flying barrel is available for rent from Funky Kong. Use it to travel back 
to levels you have already visited.

 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
|The Kong Family|
 <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Blood is thicker than water as they say. But in the Kong Family, it all comes 
with a price.

([ Game Description ])
Even though Diddy and Dixie are supposed to be going on these quests on their 
own, the rest of the Kong clan just couldn't stay out of it, especially since 
there is money to be made helping beginning adventurers! You'll find all the 
Kong Family members in the prime business locations throughout Crocodile Isle.

*****************
*Funky's Flights*
*****************
Funky's Flights are the only way to fly! If you've already been to an area, you 
can use Funky's Flights to revisit that place. This time, though, you'll have to 
pay your fare in Banana Coins to get a ticket.

***********************
*Wrinkly's Kong Kollege*
***********************
Wrinkly Kong's schoolroom is a vital place for the Kong's to visit. Even if 
you're having fun on your adventure, you'll want to go to school because nice 
Mrs. Wrinkly can save your game. Since this is a private school, you'll have to 
pay tuition in Banana Bunch Koins.

****************
*Klubba's Kiosk*
****************
The towering Klubba is only friendly if you pay him. He demands payment of 
anyone who would cross his bridge, but he'll only accept Kremkoins. What's on 
the other side? Why would anyone want to go there? You'll have to find out for 
yourself.


 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>
|Animal Friends|
 <<<<<<<<<<<<<<
These guys really help you out when the going gets tough. Not only do they look 
cute (yeah right), but also they pack a mean punch, charge, headbutt, or 
whatever their specialty is. Friends are forever...

([ Game Description ])
Don't underestimate the value of good animal friends. They can be found 
throughout the games different Worlds and Levels.

************************
*Enguarde The Swordfish*
************************

Enguarde adds invaluable assistance in aquatic settings. As Enguarde, you don't 
need to press the A button to swim. If you press the A button, Enguarde will 
dash forward and use his sharp bill to knock out enemies. Hold SELECT to charge.

*****************
*Rambi The Rhino*
*****************
This powerful Rhinoceros loves to use his horn. Press the A button to [head] 
butt everything out of his path. Hold select to charge

*********************
*Squitter The Spider*
*********************
The giant arachnid is one of the coolest animal friends. Press the A button to 
make him jump. Press the B button to shoot a web. Make a platform by shooting a 
web and then pressing Select.

******************
*Clapper The Seal*
******************

ice but Clapper can. Jump on him and he'll perform these services for you.

************************
*Rattly The Rattlesnake*
************************
Rebelling against the Kremlings who infest the island, Rattly offers his high-
jumping ability to help the Kongs. He can jump much higher than the Kongs can, 
courtesy of his springy tail. Hold Select to jump higher.

********************
*Squawks The Parrot*
********************

_/Enemies - Baddies _/
_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/

([ Game Description ])
Our heroes encounter tons of K. Rool's Kremling Crew during their treacherous 
adventure on Crocodile Island. You'll need to outwit these swashbuckling baddies 
to rescue DK and the banana hoard!

Klomp
This peg leg Kremling is the standard type you will encounter.

Klobber
This Kremling hides in a barrel. When you get close, he pops out and tries to 
push you around.

Neek
Named for the annoying little squeaking sounds they make, these bilge rats 
infest every corner of Crocodile Isle.

Kaboing
This Kremling bounces around on two spring-loaded peg legs.

Klinger
Look out below! Klinger climbs around in the rigging, ready to slide down on 
anyone below him.

Click-Clack
If you flip this beetle on its back, you can carry it around and se it as a 
weapon!

Kruncha
Muscle-bound and muscle-headed, Kruncha is impervious to Diddy and Dixie's 
attacks. They only make him mad!

Kannon
It looks like Klump can shoot now!

Zinger
The bugs are back! Zingers return to endlessly buzz about and cause the Kongs 
all kinds of problems.

Flitter
Flitter hovers in many locations. Bouncing off these dragonflies is a useful 
means of reaching hidden areas, but be careful!

Klampon
He's Klamptraps' bigger brother, and he has a monstrous appetite for monkeys!

Klubba
His club should give you the a clue about what might happen if you try to cross 
his bridge without paying the toll!

Floatsam
Floatsam is a stingray that cruises ceaselessly back and forth.

Lockjaw
This fat-lipped piranha will try to bite anyone who swims too close.

Shuri
Shuri spins around underwater, trying to skewer careless swimmers with his 
pointy little arms.

Krook
Krook rockets his hooked hands at anything that comes near.

Puftup
Slowly but steadily, Puftup rises from the depths, getting bigger as he puffs 
himself up. Watch out for his spines.

Spiny
Spiny may have a soft underside, but its quills will strike you if you get too 
close.

Kutlass
Kutlass mail-ordered his razor-sharp swords from a TV offer. They turned out to 
be a little bigger than they looked on his small screen.

Kaptain K. Rook
The leader of the pack is back, and this time he's packing a blunderbuss!
