Players race to collect as many coins from the map as they can within the time limit.

Capture

A coin appears on the map, players must race to grab the coin, and hold it for as long as they can to earn as many points as they can before time runs out.

Capture Pad

Once again, players race to get the coin somewhere on the map. When a player has the coin, they must travel over pads in order to earn the most points they can before time runs out.

Trivia

The level Fungi Forest was initially created for Banjo-Kazooiebut since the game already had plenty of levels the producers decided to put it on Donkey Kong 64.
According to the Guinness World Records Games 2008 book this game holds the record for the largest amount of collectibles a game has ever had.
Rare was unable to fix a game crashing bug when the game was played without the expansion pak. The Expansion pak was then bundled with the game at great expense to the developers and Nintendo.

Reception

Donkey Kong was well received among reviewers, but it fell short when compared to other Rare platformers like the Banjo-Kazooiefranchise. The main complaint was that the game presented too many things to collect and that it was simply too long.

However, many praised the amazing graphics which were generated with the help of the expansion pack. The game was also praised for it's large amount of content.

DK Rap

The DK Rap was a rather long and catchy tune played at the beginning of the game before the menu screen. The rap featured brief descriptions of each character, and the use of the word "hell".While the rap and accompanying cutscene was almost assuredly meant as tongue in cheek the bizarre nature of it has nonetheless made the DK Rap somewhat of an injoke among fans of the series.

Lyrics

He-He-Here we go!

So they're finally here,

Performin' for you.

If you know the words

you can join in too.

Put your hands together,

If you want to clap,

As we take you through,

This Monkey Rap.

HUH!

D-K, Donkey Kong.

He's the leader of the bunch,

You know him well,

He's finally back,

To kick some tail.

His coconut gun,

Can fire in spurts,

If he shoots ya,

Its gonna hurt!

He's bigger, faster,

And stronger too.

He's the first member,

Of the D.K. Crew.

HUH!

D-K, Donkey Kong

D-K, Donkey Kong is here!

This Kong's got style,

So listen up dude.

She can shrink her size,

To suit her mood.

She's quick and nimble,

When she needs to be.

She can float through the air,

And climb up trees.

If you choose her,

You'll not choose wrong.

With a skip and a hop,

She's one cool Kong.

HUH!

D-K,Donkey Kong!

He has no style,

He has no grace.

This Kong,

Has a funny face.

He can handstand,

When he needs to.

And stretch his arms out,

Just for you.

Inflate himself,

Just like a balloon.

This crazy Kong,

Just digs this tune!

HUH!

D-K, Donkey Kong!

D-K, Donkey Kong is here!

He's back again,

And about time too.

And this time,

He's in the mood.

He can fly real high,

With his jetpack on.

With his pistols out,

He's one tough Kong.

He'll make you smile,

When he plays his tune.

But Kremlings beware,

Cause he's after you.

HUH!

D-K Donkey Kong!

HUH!

Finally,

He's here for you.

It's the last member,

of the D-K Crew.

This Kong's so strong,

It isn't funny.

Can make a Kremling,

Cry out for mommy.

Can pick up a boulder,

With relative ease.

Makes crushing rocks,

Seem such a breeze.

He may move slow,

He can't jump high.

But this Kong's,

One hell of a guy.

HUH!

Come on Cranky!

Take it to the fridge!

Walnuts, peanuts,

Pineapple smells.

Grapes, melons, oranges,

And coconut shells.

Ah Yeah!

Walnuts, peanuts,

Pineapple smells.

Grapes, melons, oranges,

And coconut shells.

Ah Yeah!

Walnuts, peanuts,

Pineapple smells.

Grapes, melons, oranges,

And coconut shells.
