Some of the places that they are hidden in include secret passages, as an end-of-level prize (in a [[Mudhole Marsh (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|couple]] of [[Web Woods (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|levels]]), or even within [[Kannon's Klaim (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|a level's]] Bonus Area. There are 40 Video Game Hero Coins in total. A Video Game Hero Coin symbol appears next to a level's name after Diddy and Dixie find the Video Game Hero Coin in that level. | In ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'', [[Cranky Kong]] has hidden the Video Game Hero Coins in each level for [[Diddy Kong]] and [[Dixie Kong]] to find.
