Every level has secrets that you'll only find by experimenting with the team attack. This move lets you collect items, activate switches, and grab vines that would normally be unreachable. You can then throw your apelike cannonball at things by pressing the A button.
Just tap a button, and the lead character will pick up and carry the straggler. The duo can also join forces and perform a team throw, something that wasn't possible in the previous game. Diddy can pick up and throw barrels more rapidly, while Dixie can twirl her ponytail to float for brief periods.

The team throw lets you reach places and items that are outside the characters' leaping range.ĭonkey Kong Country 2 isn't just a set of new levels put together with the assets from Donkey Kong Country.
Now, Nintendo is giving Wii owners another chance to enjoy this winner of a platformer by making it available for the Wii's Virtual Console. The sequel has more levels, the computer-modeled graphics are more detailed, and there's plenty more for you to see and do.
