Line 34: Line 34:
Like in most platformer games, the goal is to reach the end of the level, without being defeated by an enemy or falling into a trap. The Kongs must make their way through each level carefully, or else an enemy may attack. When this happens, one of the Kongs in the group will run away. With one hero remaining, the player must be careful, as being hit by an enemy or obstacle results in losing a life. The missing Kong can be recovered from a [[Buddy Barrel]], which appears in every level. [[Star Barrel]]s were replaced with a different type of [[checkpoint]], the [[Continue Point]]s. Up to three can appear in a level. If the Kongs activate a Continue Point, their progress is temporarily saved at the point, and they would return to that point if they lose a life. Every level has a small portal for an end [[goal]], the [[end of stage]]. The Kongs must jump into it to exit the level.

Also, players must collect the K-O-N-G letters to save their progress. Unlike the previous DKC series, where collecting the letters granted an extra life, in this game this is a necessary step to save, as there is no Cranky's Cabin whatsoever. In Donkey Kong land 2 and 3, however, players must save their game at a Kong Kollege, and the K-O-N-G letters again provide an extra life.
Also, as [[Cranky's Cabin]] does not appear in this game, players must collect the [[KONG Letters]] to save their progress, unlike in ''Donkey Kong Country'' and later ''Donkey Kong Land'' games, where collecting the letters only granted an extra life.
