Super move

Super moves are special abilities used by certain Animal Friends. The moves need to be charged up and can be used to help the Kongs reach hidden areas. These moves appear in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest and later in its sequel. To perform this on the Super Nintendo, the player must hold down and release when ready, whereas on the Game Boy Advance, the player must hold down.

Three of the Animal Friends have a super move:
 * Rambi the Rhino's "Supercharge" makes him run continuously until he hits an unbreakable wall. During his run, he can defeat numerous enemies at once. It also allows him to break through walls, allowing him to access Bonus Areas.
 * Enguarde the Swordfish's "Superstab" is very similar to Rambi's; like Rambi, the move allows him to access underwater Bonus Areas and swim continuously until he hits an unbreakable wall.
 * Rattly the Rattlesnake's "Superjump" is quite different; instead of dashing like Rambi or Enguarde, he jumps much higher than usual, allowing to reach areas and take objects located at greater heights.
