The Super Slam[1] is a move in Donkey Kong 64. It is given to Tiny Kong and the other Kongs by the Banana Fairy Princess after Tiny agrees to help find the missing Banana Fairies. The move can be charged by holding B Button, causing small orange orbs of energy to start appearing around the Kong. When the orbs begin to spiral, releasing B Button unleashes a shockwave, the color of which differs with each Kong. The Super Slam is used to unearth 5-Banana Coins from DK Dirt Piles. It can defeat some of the stronger enemies, including Klumps, Koshas, Klobbers, and Kasplats, but not any bosses. If the Super Slam is used on a Kaboom and the Toy Monster, this has a side effect of also damaging the user. Purple Klaptraps are unaffected by the Super Slam, damaging only the user instead. Performing a Super Slam always uses up one Crystal Coconut.
