Quick notes

Donkey Kong is the sole player character. This adventure uses DK’s claps, acrobatics and helper interactions.
Small monkeys guide the route. Monkeys appear as helpers and route devices.
Animal helpers change traversal. Flurl, Hoofer, Helibirds and Orco each provide a distinct movement system.
The Evil Kings organize boss encounters. Four repeating boss families build up to the final king battles.
