     Lanky:
     In Angry Aztec, with DK, first free the Llama from it's cage by completeing DK's Barrel Blast. In the temple you'll see
     the Llama again. Play DK's drums to turn the lava into water. Swim across to reach Lanky. 

     Tiny:
     In Angry Aztec, with Diddy, go into the temple and jump from one platform to another. Shoot the target across the room,
     then go to the bridge and play Diddy's Guitar to melt the ice pond. Swim to Tiny's chamber and use Chimpy Charge to
     activate the letters and spell out KONG. 

     Chunky:
     In Funky's Factory, with Lanky, look for a pipe coming out of the wall and into the ground. Ontop of it will be a switch.
     Stomp it and Chunky's cage will appear. 

This Year's Editors Day was held Sept. 8-10 at the Alexis Hotel in downtown Seattle. The Alexis is an elegant 
hotel, so it was a bit of a surprise to see an actor in a seven-foot Donkey Kong costume roaming the lobby handing 
bananas to journalists as they arrived. A second actor in a Mario outfit appeared later, and most guests seemed 
more amused than bothered by the spectacle. The next step in Nintendo’s event was opening-night entertainment. 
Always a great host, Nintendo began the event by taking editors to see the Seattle Mariners play the Toronto Blue 
Jays at Safeco Field. As the major shareholders of the Mariners, Nintendo has two corporate boxes at Safeco Field 
(though we journalists had to “make do” with boxes Nintendo rented for the occasion.) The next morning started 
with Ken Lobb giving a brief demonstration of Donkey Kong 64. Lobb is the head of Nintendo’s Treehouse, the group 
that evaluates games made by outside companies but released under the Nintendo label.
 

One of the companies his team works with is Rare, the company that made Goldeneye 007. In fact, Ken’s face was 
used on some of the bad guys in Goldeneye 007, and one of the guns was named after him — the Klobb. (A side 
note: Perfect Dark, the upcoming sequel to Goldeneye 007, has been delayed by Rare and will not see the light of 
day until the first week of April.)
As soon as Lobb finished his speech, the editors got to play the game. In an effort to make their guests feel at home, 
Nintendo’s PR team set up a testing room with dozens of 27-inch televisions and comfortable living room furniture. 
The day’s schedule was set up so that everyone would get a minimum of eight hours with the game — though they 
could leave if they chose to. Nobody left voluntarily. Having played Donkey Kong 64 for only a matter of hours, I am 
hardly qualified to review the game, but I can give a fairly decent preview. To put it bluntly, Donkey Kong 64 is Nintendo 
at its “E”-rated best. (An E rating means that a game is suitable for players of all ages.) Nintendo specializes in making 
games for the entire family, and as time goes on, the N64 is becoming more and more of a younger-players game system

No, Nintendo fans, Donkey Kong 64 does not knock The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time out of the top slot for the best 
N64 game, but it looks like it might give Super Mario 64 some tough competition for the No. 2 slot.
First of all, Donkey Kong 64 is big. Whether it’s some innovative compression technology, brilliant architecture or some 
other trick, Nintendo continues to shoehorn huge games into its 32-megabyte cartridges. PlayStation CDs may hold 20 
times more data than N64 cartridges, but from all appearances, the worlds in Donkey Kong 64 appear to be as large as 
any in the gaming world. According to Lobb, there is far more territory in Donkey Kong 64 than in the last Zelda.
Lobb also elaborated on one other detail. Donkey Kong 64 requires the memory Expansion Pak, which actually comes 
packaged with the game. Interestingly, the Rare team that developed the game did not use the Pak’s added 4 megabytes 
of RAM (random-access memory) for its stated purpose — high resolution graphics. According to Lobb, they used it to 
create larger and more detailed worlds.

Lobb’s narrative makes sense when you sit down and play. Donkey Kong 64 does not have the waxy rendered art gamers 
may remember from the Donkey Kong Country series for the Super NES. Instead, it has polygonal 3-D graphics — 
somewhat similar to the graphics in Banjo-Kazooie.
By the way, contrary to the rumors, the gameplay in Donkey Kong 64 in no way mirrors the gameplay in Banjo-Kazooie. 
In fact, the games are so dissimilar that it’s a bit difficult to believe that both games came from the same company. While 
Banjo-Kazooie was very much a reproduction of Mario 64, Donkey Kong 64 feels and plays like the side-scrolling Donkey 
Kong Country games brought into a third dimension.
Donkey Kong 64 has a faster style of play than Banjo-Kazooie, and it has weapons. Donkey Kong 64 also has five heroes, 
each with its own strengths and abilities. Diddy Kong gets a jetpack, Chunky Kong is strong enough to move boulders, etc. 
You’ll need to find and use all five heroes if you want to finish the game.
But there’s more to finishing the game than finding five hidden apes. (For the record, not all of the heroes in this game are 
actually apes. Diddy has a tail, making him a monkey.) You pretty well have to do every level with every ape in order to 
get them to the right spots when you need them.
Say you reach a tall ledge that requires Diddy’s jetpack in Level 4 (by the way, I have not made it to Level 4 yet), but you 
have only used Donkey Kong in the last few levels. In order to get Diddy and his jetpack to the ledge, you will have to go 
back and replay those levels as Diddy Kong.

This may sound repetitious, but it doesn’t seem to be, so far. Though I have not found all five apes, re-doing levels with 
the ones I have found is still fun as each ape’s abilities slightly alter the flavor of the game.
One of the neat features in Donkey Kong 64 is it pays homage to past representations of Donkey Kong. Many of the 
characters from the Donkey Kong series appear in the game, and there’s even an old arcade machine in one level that has 
all four levels of the original 1981 Donkey Kong game.
I have not played enough of Donkey Kong 64 to give it a final grade, but from the preview I have seen so far, I expect it to 
receive a very solid “A.” http://www.msnbc.com    To Order Donkey Kong 64 Click Here
