Line 6:
''Put your hands together, if you want to clap''
''As we take you through this monkey rap ''
''Hunh!''
|'''The DK Rap'''}}
{{quote|''Ooooooooh, BAH- NAH- NAH!''}}
Line 49 ⟶ 50:
* [[Artistic License Music]]: Two of the playable characters' instruments don't sound like their real life counterparts. Donkey Kong's bongos are much more melodic than real bongos, but it's particularly egregious with Chunky Kong's triangle. It actually makes the sound of a celesta, a completely different instrument!
* [[Badass Adorable]]: Tiny Kong definitely qualifies for this. Diddy Kong also to a certain degree.
*[[Bad Boss]]: King K. Rool is portrayed as one. He does give Army Dillo a second chance though.
* [[Bamboo Technology]]: The Kongs' weapons are made out of wood.
* [[Big Eater]]: Troff the pig and Scoff the hippo.
* [[Blackout Basement]]: One small area in Jungle Japes has homage to this. Also the interiors of Gloomy Galleon's sunken ships are lit by lantern fish that swim behind you.
Line 62 ⟶ 64:
** Baboon Blast (''Barrelum Perilous'')
** Monkeyport (''Warpum Craftious'')
* [[Canon Immigrant]]:
**
** Cranky Kong's role as mad scientist also originated from the show.
* [[Chokepoint Geography]]: Justified by the locations of the levels being fairly well hidden, until K. Lumsy dislodges a seemingly innocent boulder.
* [[Color Coded for Your Convenience]]:
Line 83 ⟶ 85:
* [[Embedded Precursor]]: [[Nintendo Hard|The original arcade version of the original]] ''[[Donkey Kong]]'' (from Nintendo) and [[Jetpac]] (from Rare, then known as ACG/Ultimate), and it's actually required to complete both to complete ''Donkey Kong 64''.
* [[Eternal Engine]]: Frantic Factory.
* [[Everything Fades]]: All of the enemies fade in and out when you beat them.
* [[Everything's Better with Monkeys]]: Unless you're a Kremling.
* [[Expy]]:
Line 121 ⟶ 123:
** A few of the enemies have [[Idle Animation|Idle Animations]] too.
* [[Interface Screw]]: When Chunky boards the sailing ship on the Gloomy Galleon level to get his Golden Banana there, this happens after his dance. The screen wavers wildly, he leans back with his arms down (while walking), and the directional controls are reversed (implying seasickness).
* [[Jungle Japes]]: [[Trope Namer]].
* [[Kill It with Fire]]: Essentially every boss in this game spits/throws fire balls at you, including [[Puffer Fish|a giant pufferfish]].
* [[Laughing Mad]]: Mad Jack.
* [[Legacy Character]]: Cranky Kong is the Donkey Kong from the original arcade game
* [[
* [[Letting the Air Out of the Band]]: The music falters when the Kremlings have engine trouble in the intro. [[Percussive Maintenance]] gets the machine started again and the music back in tune.
* [[Lighthouse Point]]: Gloomy Galleon.
Line 144 ⟶ 146:
* [[Power of Rock]]: Playing the Kongs' musical instruments will defeat all Kremlings and baddies within earshot.
* [[Powerup Mount]]: Rambi, Engarde and Squawks.
* [[Precision F-Strike]]: During the rap, one line says that Chunky's "one hell of a guy." Censored to "heck" when Nintendo rerecorded the rap for the [[Same Content, Different Rating|T-rated]] ''[[Super Smash Bros.|Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''.
* [[Punny Name]]: King K. Rool, K. Lumsy and B. Locker
* [[Racing Mini Game]]: There are... well, quite a ''lot'' of them.
Line 154 ⟶ 155:
* [[The Smurfette Principle]]: Tiny's the only girl out of the five playable characters.
* [[Solve the Soup Cans]]: Any golden banana that doesn't involve a mini-game barrel is usually this. Sometimes they overlap.
* [[Springy Spores]]: Fungi Forest's mushrooms
* [[Spirit Advisor]]: The ghost of Wrinkly Kong.
* [[Spiritual Successor]]: This game owes ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'' big time for its existence.
* [[Super Not-Drowning Skills]]: Pretty strange that this trope would show up when you consider that this game is based on ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'', which both had oxygen meters. Also, ''Banjo-Tooie'', ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' would have them.
** [[Fridge Brilliance|None of the Donkey Kong Country games had oxygen meters.]]
* [[Surfer Dude]]: Funky Kong combines his surfer persona with a drill sergeant's.
*** {{spoiler|At the end, while Candy Kong distracts K. Rool, Funky kicks his ass [[Literal Ass-Kicking|(literally)]] by shooting a giant boot out of a gun}}.▼
* [[Surrounded by Idiots]]: King K Rool says this in one between level cinematic.
* [[Theme Tune Rap]]: The "DK Rap". Composer Grant Kirkhope would like to make it perfectly clear that the rap was ''supposed'' to [[Stylistic Suck|sound really lame]].
* [[Timed Mission]]: Deactivating the Blast-O-Matic at Hideout Helm. Then there's the Kremling sniper in certain puzzle rooms....
▲*
* [[Toy Time]]: Frantic Factory, the Kremlings'... ''toy factory''. Though it has more in common with your typical factory area than with a toy factory.
* [[Unblockable Attack]]: The firewall Dogadon throws at Chunky at one point during their boss battle. The only way to dodge it is by hanging on the edges of the battle arena.
* [[Unexpected Gameplay Change]]: Oh so very many. Not even counting the various races and slides, over half the Golden Bananas have to be earned from Bonus Barrels, which transport you to Bonus Stages, many of which don't even feature you directly controlling the Kongs.
* [[Vader Breath]]: King K. Rool.
* [[Video Game Flight]]: Diddy Kong can fly with Rocketbarrels: a [[Bamboo Technology|jetpack made out of wooden barrels fueled by magical coconut-shaped crystals.]]
* [[You Have Researched
* [[Younger Than They Look]]: Chunky Kong, the biggest one, is actually the youngest.
