Rare Orbs, referred to as Orbs in the Prima guide, are important collectible items that appear in Donkey Kong Country Returns and Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D. They are differently colored depending on the world they appear in, with their color representing their world. They are held in the secret temple of each of the first eight worlds. The temples have to be unlocked by collecting the hidden K-O-N-G Letters in each of the other levels.

In order to get the Rare Orb, the Kongs must go to the end of the level. Each Rare Orb is placed on a pedestal which they float off of when a Kong goes near the pedestal. The Kongs can collect the Rare Orb by touching it. When the temple's Rare Orb is collected the level ends. Once all eight orbs are collected, they will be able to unlock the entrance to the hidden Golden Temple. When the Kongs go to the Golden Template the Rare Orbs float into holes in the door, opening the door.

In New Mode on the 3DS version, after the game is beaten, each of the Rare Orbs are found in Cranky Kong's Shop (one per world) and can be purchased after spending 50 Banana Coins instead of doing the temple levels. This totals up to a price of 400 Banana Coins for buying all 8 Rare Orbs.

Mysterious Relics from Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze act similarly to Rare Orbs.
