Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest: Difference between revisions

In order to travel through each level of the game and complete each of the game's many [[Bonus Level]]s, the primates have to use their basic and special abilities. However, both of the heroes have different abilities. The basic abilities include jumping, climbing, and swimming. Jumping is often used in the game to cross gaps and grab things in the air. Diddy's [[Cartwheel Attack|cartwheel attack]] and Dixie's [[Helicopter Spin]] can also defeat a large amount of [[List of enemies|enemies]], although some foes are immune to this attack. A super-jump can also be performed if they cartwheel or spin off of a ledge and jump while in mid-air. Dixie is able to use her Helicopter Spin ability in mid-air as well, allowing her to float for a short amount of time to avoid falling into gaps. Both apes can also climb up ropes quickly to access high areas, although Diddy Kong is able to climb slightly faster than Dixie, just as he can on land and in water. Swimming in ''Diddy's Kong Quest'' is much like swimming in early ''[[Mario (franchise)|Mario]]'' platformers. The player must hit the jump button to advance upwards into the water. If the player is to not hit any buttons, the apes slowly float downwards to reach lower areas or to dodge underwater enemies.
