help Donkey Kong 64 FAQ

Why did Donkey Kong 64 require the Nintendo 64 Expansion Pak?

Donkey Kong 64 was packaged with the 4 MB Expansion Pak and would not run without it. The accessory increased the Nintendo 64's memory from 4 MB to 8 MB.

Which five Kongs are playable in Donkey Kong 64?

The playable characters are Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, Lanky Kong, Tiny Kong, and Chunky Kong. Each has unique moves, weapons, instruments, and color-coded collectibles.

Why do players call Donkey Kong 64 a collectathon?

Progress requires collecting Golden Bananas, colored bananas, blueprints, crowns, fairies, coins, and other items across large levels. Many objects belong to only one Kong, so players frequently return to a tag barrel to switch characters.

Do you really have to beat old arcade games inside Donkey Kong 64?

Yes, completing the story requires playing the original Donkey Kong arcade game and Rare's Jetpac within the Nintendo 64 adventure. Their rewards are needed to obtain the Nintendo and Rareware coins that open the route toward the final confrontation.
