Gameplay
The game introduces the "tag-team" system. Diddy and Donkey Kong follow each other and each have their own unique abilities. Diddy is faster and more agile than Donkey, however, he's not as strong as Donkey and have difficulty defeating stronger enemy such as Krusha. Donkey Kong is stronger and slower, as well as having his own unique move called Hand Slap. If one of the Kong happened to be hit, he would run away and couldn't be used. A Kong can be "resurrected" by finding a DK Barrel and smashing it. Losing both Kong or falling in a bottomless pit will cause an Extra Life to be lost.

During their adventure, Diddy and Donkey are helped by the other members of the Kong clan. They are:
 * Cranky Kong help by randomly giving hint. He also appear to give narration after the defeat of a boss in the Gameboy Advance version.
 * Candy Kong allow the player to save their progress. She also host a dance minigame in the Gameboy Advance version.
 * Funky Kong let the Kong use his barrel jet, allowing them to visit worlds they already completed. He also host a fishing minigame in the Gameboy and Gameboy Advance version.

Animal Buddies
The Kongs are not the only ones to help Donkey and Diddy in their quest, the wildlife also help. Each Animal Buddy is prisoner in a crate with their likeness on it. They are:
 * Rambi the Rhinoceros is first found halfway through the first level. He can defeat most enemies and break entrances to Bonus Levels.
 * Enguarde the Swordfish is exclusively found in the underwater level. He's the only way to defeat underwater enemies.
 * Winky the Frog can defeat most enemies by jumping on them. She also jumps very high.
 * Squawks the Parrot is the only non-rideable Animal Buddy. He assist the Kongs by carrying a lamp in the level "Torchlight Trouble".
 * Expresso the Ostrich is the least powerful animal buddy, having no way to attack. However, it's balanced by the fact that Expresso can glide throught the air and is the fastest. Smaller enemy (such as Klaptrap) may also pass under her legs.
