Super move
Super moves[1][2] are special abilities used by certain Animal Friends. The moves need to be charged up and can be used to help the Kongs reach hidden areas. These moves appear in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest, Donkey Kong Land 2, and Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! To perform super moves on the Super Nintendo, the player must hold down 
and release when ready, whereas on the Game Boy Advance, the player must hold down 
, and in Donkey Kong Land 2, the player must hold down 
.
Three of the Animal Friends have super moves:
- Rambi's "Supercharge"[3] (or super-dash) makes him run continuously until he hits an unbreakable wall. During his run, he can defeat numerous enemies at once. It also allows him to break through walls, allowing him to access Bonus Areas.
- Enguarde's "Superstab"[4] is very similar to Rambi's move; like it, Enguarde's move allows him to break through underwater walls to access Bonus Areas and swim continuously (even through enemies) until he hits an unbreakable wall.
- Rattly's "Superjump"[5] (or Super Jump)[6] is quite different; instead of dashing like Rambi or Enguarde, Rattly jumps much higher than usual, allowing him to reach areas and take objects located at greater heights.
