When the player shakes {{button|wii|Wiimote}}, Donkey Kong starts to perform a [[Roll Attack|roll attack]]. As he rolls, Diddy runs along on top of Donkey Kong to keep his momentum. Like the simple roll and [[Cartwheel Attack]], the Kong Roll can be used to eliminate most enemies in the Kongs' path, and it is faster than the Kongs' normal movement speed. Unlike the two other moves, the Kong Roll continues for as long as the player keeps shaking {{button|wii|Wiimote}}. The Kong Roll also shares the base Roll's ability to increase the distance that the Kongs can [[jump]] across and the ability to jump out of the roll even if there is no ground beneath them; in some cases, such Kong Rolls are required for obtaining a [[Puzzle Piece (Donkey Kong Country series)|Puzzle Piece]]. | ||

In the default Circle Pad-based control scheme, pressing {{button|3ds|X}} and {{button|3ds|Y}} initiates the Kong Roll and continuously pressing the buttons continues it. In the alternate Control Pad-based control scheme, the {{button|3ds|L}} and {{button|3ds|R}} buttons do the same. | ||

While the Kong Roll can still be used with Diddy Kong, it can also be executed with [[Dixie Kong]] or [[Cranky Kong]] while either is riding Donkey Kong. In the [[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (Nintendo Switch)|Nintendo Switch version]]'s New Mode, [[Funky Kong]] can Kong-roll without a supporter. | ||
