DK Attack

DK Attack is a time attack in Donkey Kong Country ' s Game Boy Advance remake. The mini-game's objective is for the Kongs to complete a level and score as many points as possible. The Game Boy Advance re-release of Donkey Kong Country 2 has a time attack mode called Diddy's Dash, which is loosely based on DK Attack.

Overview
After selecting a level, Donkey and Diddy start off with a time limit of one minute. The Kongs must rush through the level, gain time bonuses (indicated with a simple "+5", "+10", etc.), and reach the end before the timer reaches zero. Points are earned for getting bananas, K-O-N-G Letters, Extra Life Balloons, freeing Animal Buddies and defeating enemies. The amount of enemies defeated in a row allows the score to be multiplied by the amount defeated (x2 for two enemies, x3 for three, etc.) Points are needed to get a high ranking.

The end score is based on the following rubric:
 * The score prior to winning
 * Time Left, with a thousand points added per second remaining
 * Buddy Bonus, for finishing with an Animal Buddy (always five thousand bonus points)
 * Kongs Bonus, for finishing with both Kongs (five thousand bonus points)

The game then tallies up the points and rates the player on a ribbon scale of "C" through "S", with "C" being the lowest and "S" being the highest, just above an "A" rank.
