DK Jungle Climber - Gameplay Modes

Gameplay Modes

The game contains the following modes of play:

Adventure: This is the story mode of the game.

Challenge: This mode consists of the various mini-games found in the game. Each mini-game has four levels to play: Level 1, Level 2, Level 3, and Max. The Max Level has no set objective, score, or time to beat but offers a chance to set a high score. Only a few mini-games are available at the start of the game, but as the player progresses through the story mode, more mini-games are unlocked.

The mini-games in Challenge are as follows:

• Rolling Panic: The object of this game is to jump over as many rolling logs as possible while avoiding rolling boulders.

• Banana Grab: In this game, the player must use the L and R buttons to grab as many bananas as they can. There are sparkling bananas that when touched, juggle back up into the air and give bonus points for the amount of times juggled. There are also sea urchins which, if touched, will disable the ability to grab with that hand for a short time, costing the player points.

• Speed Climb: In speed climb, the player must climb to the top of the level as fast as possible.

• Throw 'n' Crush: This game requires players to throw rocks at barrels and destroy all of the barrels before the time limit is met. TNT Barrels should be the primal target as it is necessary to progress in the later levels of this mini-game.

• Orange Picker: In this game, the player must grab onto each orange. When the oranges are grabbed they fall much like unstable pegs. The goal is to grab as many oranges before the time limit exceeds. There are special oranges that give more points than normal ones.

• Booster Battle: In this game, the player races against an opponent racer in an effort to reach the finish line first.

Extras: This mode allows the player to view any cutscenes and text sequences of the game otherwise known as "Lectures". Cheats that make the game a little easier for the player can also be accessed here. More items unlock as the player collects Banana Coins and progresses the Main Game.

VS. Battle: This is the multiplayer mode of the game. Multiplayer can be played regardless if the other players have a copy of the game for their game system.

Extra Stages: In this extra-challenging mode, the player is faced with levels that are more of a puzzle than an obstacle course. There are no extra lives, so dying means restarting the current stage from the beginning. The goal of Extra Stages is to reach the DK Coin at the end. This mode is unlocked after beating the main game. There are 11 extra stages with each unlocking depending on how many Banana Coins the player has collected in the main game.
