DRY insanity

Image	Name	Description
File:BananaSprite65.png	Bananas	These are the most common items in the game, and appear almost everywhere in every level (excluding boss levels). They are very similar to coins from the Mario series, as collecting 100 of them gives the Kongs an extra life.
File:BunchoBanana65.png	Banana Bunches	These items are very similar to bananas, except that they are worth ten bananas rather than one. Although they are very common, they are usually harder to find then normal bananas and can sometimes be hidden in hard to reach places. Ten of these equal an Extra Life.
File:RambiToken65.PNG	Animal Tokens	These items are special tokens in the shape of the game's various Animal Friends (excluding Squawks). If three of one kind is collected, the Kongs are taken to a bonus area where they must collect many smaller Animal Tokens with the animal carved in the collected tokens (e.g. If three Expresso tokens are collected, the player plays as Expresso in the bonus minigame).
File:BalloonDKC65.PNG	Extra Life Balloons	Similar to 1-Up Mushrooms from the Mario series, these balloons give the Kongs extra lives when collected. The balloons come in three different colors: Red, blue, and green. The red Extra Life Balloons grant the primates with one extra life, green Extra Life Balloons give them two lives, and the rare blue Extra Life Balloons give them three lives.
File:KONGDKC65.PNG	K-O-N-G Letters	Four of these special objects are hidden in every level (excluding boss levels), and each letter put together spells the word "KONG." If the Kongs collect all four letters in a level, they are awarded with an extra life. Each letter is found in order, meaning that the letter K is found first in the levels, then the O, then the N, and the letter G is found last. Additionally, letters much like the K-O-N-G Letters appear in certain Bonus Levels, where they must be hit in order to spell out a word.
File:Rambi's Animal Crate DKC.png	Animal Crates	These semi-common crates contain Animal Friends, and are placed in both normal levels and Bonus Levels. The type of Animal Friend freed from the crate depends on the picture on the object. In the Game Boy Color remake, the crates transform the monkeys into a certain Animal Friend depending on the marking on the crate.
File:TireDKC65.PNG	Tires	Tires appear in many levels throughout the game, and they bounce the heroes to high areas. Half tires are stationary, while the other tires that are full can be pushed into different areas.
File:RopeDKC65.PNG	Ropes	These common objects appear in many levels, and the Kongs can climb up and down on them to progress. Most ropes in the game swing over wide abysses, so the primates can use them to cross the gaps. In Slipslide Ride, blue and purple ropes appear that pull the heroes up and down automatically.
File:MineCartDKC65.PNG	Mine Carts	These rather uncommon objects are seen only in mine levels, and automatically begin to move on the track when entered. The Kongs are able to jump while on them so they can head over broken part of the track. Sometimes, broken mine carts appear on the track as an obstacle.
File:FallingPlatformDKC65.PNG File:PlatformDKC65.PNG	Platforms	Many platforms appear throughout the game. Although most of them are stationary, some move back and fourth over gaps. Later in the game, platforms with arrows appear, and they move in the direction depending on the arrow point's direction symbol when stepped on. Other moving platforms appear near the end of the game, including one that must constantly be refueled to keep it moving.
