{{ | '''Simian Spring''' is a special ability used by [[Diddy Kong]] from a [[Cranky's Kong Pad|Diddy Pad]] in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''. Diddy can learn this ability after buying a potion from [[Cranky's Lab]] in [[Frantic Factory]] for seven [[Banana Coin|Banana Bunch Coin]]s. | ||
When Diddy is standing on a Diddy Pad, the player can press {{button|n64|Z}} to make him spring off the ground with his tail and perform a high jump, allowing him to reach higher areas. | |||
The scientific name of Simian Spring is ''Leapus Largium'', a play on the words "Leap" and "Large". | |||
The Simian Spring is one of three Cranky Kong moves that are not actually required to beat ''Donkey Kong 64'', as it is not required in [[Hideout Helm]] or Diddy's section of the final battle against [[King K. Rool]], nor is it required to rescue [[Tiny Kong]] or majorly advance in any level. The other two are [[Baboon Balloon]] and [[Strong Kong]], which must be purchased anyway so that the [[OrangStand Sprint]] and [[Gorilla Grab]] can be unlocked. | |||
