Dixie Kong can execute the [[Helicopter Spin]] with her ponytail and propel herself upward in midair. Using her ponytail, she is also able to swim against strong currents, accessing potentially secret areas. Cranky harnesses the [[Cane Bounce]] by using his iconic rigid cane to combat or overcome some obstacles that could be dangerous to stomp on, such as urchins and thorns. The Cane Bounce can be seen as a substitute to Dixie Kong's Helicopter Twirl, as Cranky can bounce off the ground with his cane and take off to increased heights. With the inclusion of more than two playable characters in the game, a premiere feature in the series, the variety of [[DK Barrel|Kong Barrel]]s has been invigorated. Players can stumble upon Diddy, Dixie, or Cranky barrels, each displaying their name abbreviations – DD, DX, and CK respectively. These barrels usually appear to contain only one character, whereas the other spins like a roulette and constantly switch the partner inside, each time indicated by the before-mentioned abbreviations. In the standard mode of play, Donkey Kong can only carry one partner at the time; a partner freed from a Kong Barrel will replace the one that is currently on Donkey Kong's back. If the character in the chosen barrel is already seated on Donkey Kong, the characters can regenerate their health bar upon destroying the barrel. | Dixie Kong can execute the [[Helicopter Spin]] with her ponytail and propel herself upward in midair.

A new feature in this game that is adjacent to the partner system is the [[Kong POW]] attack, which turns all the enemies on-screen into [[item]]s. In multiplayer, the move can be used if both players press a button at the same time. This move can only be performed when 100 [[banana]]s have been collected, as well as when there is a partner by Donkey Kong's side.<ref>http://www.nintendo.com.au/index.php?action=news&nid=3097</ref> | |||
