• There is no time limit. Feel free to take as long as you need in each level.
• Learn how to use the secondary characters' abilities, and choose them based on the ability that will help you the most.
• The pig in the barrel marks the level checkpoint. If you cross the checkpoint, you will respawn there if you die and have Red Balloons.
• You will get a Red Balloon if you collect 100 bananas.
• If you get all of the bananas in bonus rooms, you will be rewarded with puzzle pieces.
• Bananas also charge Donkey Kong's ability, which turns enemies into items you can collect.
• Keep an eye on your character's hearts. Your partners will disappear when they lose all of their hearts, and then Donkey Kong can take damage. When you lose all of your hearts, you will lose a life.
• While underwater, keep an eye on your air meter. Replenish it by either swimming to the surface or by using air bubbles.
• Search for collectibles everywhere. Your Ground Pound can break things and possible help you find new areas. There are many secrets and hidden items.
• If you need to bounce on an enemy to reach a collectible/banana/etc., but you kill the enemy by mistake, go back in the direction you came from for a moment. The enemy will respawn, giving you another chance.
• Use your gold coins to buy items at Funky's Fly 'n' Buy shop. You can take up to 3 items with you when you enter a stage. Items include:
  
  • Balloons
  • Banana Juice - This gives Donkey Kong temporary invincibility
  • Crash Guard - This shields you while you're on the Mine Cart and Rocket Barrel
  • Squawk - This notifies you when puzzle pieces are nearby. You can only use a single Squawk in a level.
