You can also punch enemies and obstacles and throw barrels; we presume developer Paon has thought up some clever control options for these moves."

Some items found in the game's tracks that serve as obstacles for opponents include: Squawks the Parrot, a giant barrel, crystal coconuts, a bazooka and a banana bomb In the Donkey Kong Country series of video games, including Donkey Kong Land and Donkey Kong 64, Donkey Kong and his simian friends have a series of animal buddies that can be found throughout levels and then used to assist the player in finding bonuses or defeating the Kremlings and...

Stages

In addition to the aid of some screenshots, the August 2006 issue of Nintendo Power had a section relating to this game. Some levels speculated included a volcano level, a beach level, a jungle level (the first revealed level in trailers and first screenshots). One feature noted with the beach level was that there would be a part in the level where you would actually get to ride Enguarde to reach another section of the track. This was originally a feature that was going to be implemented in the canceled GameCube game Donkey Kong Racing. It is possible that other similar features (such as riding on Rambi the Rhino) will be implemented in this game.
