[[DK Isles]] is the hub area from where the Kongs can access the other levels. Every level has its own lobby on DK Isles and a portal leading into the level itself. At first, the level lobbies are blocked or inaccessible by the Kongs. To unlock a level's lobby, the Kongs must use a [[Boss Key]] to open a padlock of [[K. Lumsy]]'s cage. This results in K. Lumsy happily celebrating and creating a tremor that unlocks access into a lobby (with the exception of the first level, [[Jungle Japes]], which is accessed after Donkey Kong meets K. Lumsy). In every lobby, [[B. Locker]] prevents the Kongs from entering a level unless they have at least a certain number of Golden Bananas to meet B. Locker's requirement. The later levels require the Kongs to have more Golden Bananas in order to enter. | [[DK Isles]] is the hub area from where the Kongs can access the other levels.

Eventually Scoff becomes large enough for [[Troff]]'s platform to be raised up to the key for Troff to unlock the door leading to the level boss. Each boss can only be fought by a certain Kong, whose face appears on the door just before the battle. The boss battles are constructed around the designated Kong's abilities. After that Kong defeats the boss, the Kongs obtain a Boss Key. | ||
The game features two [[Animal Friends]], [[Rambi]] and [[Enguarde]], who each have an [[animal crate]] located in [[Jungle Japes]] and [[Gloomy Galleon]] respectively. Only Donkey Kong can transform into Rambi and only Lanky can transform into Enguarde. Rambi can attack enemies and smash crates and wooden walls, and Enguarde can attack enemies and smash open chests to reveal hidden items. | The game features two [[Animal Friends]], [[Rambi]] and [[Enguarde]], who each have an [[animal crate]] located in [[Jungle Japes]] and [[Gloomy Galleon]] respectively.

Cranky Kong has seemingly taken up science as a hobby, and in his lab, the player can buy different potions in exchange for Banana Bunch Coins to learn new techniques and abilities needed to progress throughout the game. Also, if the Kongs visit Cranky at his lab with at least fifteen [[Banana Medal]]s, Cranky allows them to play a game called ''[[Jetpac]]'' (an early Rare game). The Kongs must get 5000 points in the game in order to obtain the [[Rareware Coin]]. | ||

*''Donkey Kong 64'' is the first ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]''-related title to support 16:9 widescreen display; despite this, the game's cutscenes are still locked to the standard 4:3 aspect ratio. It is also the first ''Super Mario''-related title to support surround sound (via the three-channel {{wp|Dolby Pro Logic|Dolby Surround}} encoding standard, as the [[Nintendo 64]] lacks native surround sound support), though the first actual ''Super Mario'' game to support surround sound would be ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'' three years later. It is also the only ''Super Mario''-related title on the Nintendo 64 with these features. | |||
