Kong Switch
A Kong Switch, from Donkey Kong 64.
A blue Chunky Kong Switch from Donkey Kong 64.
First appearance Donkey Kong 64 (1999)

Kong Switches[1], or Floor Switches[2], are switches that appear in the game Donkey Kong 64. There are three different colored switches, with each switch having a Kong's face displayed. Only the specific Kong can activate the switch with their face. The Kong Switches usually open a pathway or reveal a secret area. The first Kong Switch of Jungle Japes can automatically be activated if Donkey Kong lands on it.

The different colored switches are:

  • Green Switch: Can be activated with a Simian Slam.
  • Blue Switch: Can be activated with a Super Simian Slam. These switches begin to appear once the player reaches Fungi Forest. Though one appears in Gloomy Galleon's lobby in DK Isle.
  • Red Switch: Can be activated with a Super Duper Simian Slam. These switches only appear in Creepy Castle.
