Cling

Clinging is a new ability introduced in Donkey Kong Country Returns. It is usable by Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong as means of safer transportation over enemies, obstacles, or to get to a higher area. It is used by jumping onto a wall or ceiling covered in grass and pressing "z" (with WiiMote and Nunchuk) or "1" (for WiiMote alone). While clinging, various obstacles in the path of the grass, such as spikes (pictured) or piranha plants hinder progress. The ability will be used prominently in Mangoruby's battle.
