His ammo is coconuts, his instrument is a pair of bongos, his special barrel makes him invincible, his pad lets him play the barrel shooting mini-games, and his miscellaneous ability is pulling levers. He is the the biggest main character of the game, and because of this, he is the balanced character as far as jumping, running, and strength is concerned.

The soundtrack is enjoyable and charming, and fits the themes of each area of the game pretty well, whether if it's relaxing, mysterious, or menacing.You can explore huge worlds full of enemies, with some of them being old enemies from previous Donkey Kong Country games, obstacles and platforming elements that are built around the game's structure, and they don't really feel like they're forced into the game as well.The introduction cutscene that is seen upon booting the game up, the DK Rap, is a cheesy and stupid, yet charming and memorable introduction and rap song.It is the first Donkey Kong game (and the only one) to be played in full 3D.The graphics are amazing for 1999 standards, and especially for an N64 title as well, and multiple details are scattered throughout the game as well, such as having multiple cracks being able to be seen on walls.The camera controls are very advanced, especially for its time, as the player is not only allowed to rotate it with the C buttons, but the player can also make the camera face the back of the Kong's with the L button.The controls are very tight and responsive, and each of the abilities that you can perform in the game are very simple to pull off, since that they often require just one tap of the B button.
