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. | |||
