Cranky has his uses for those interested in completing the time attack stages because his bounce does not cause DK to lose momentum, unlike Diddy and Dixie’s abilities. Diddy reprises the brief “float” animation from DKCR Cranky Kong uses his cane as a pogo stick like Scrooge McDuck, allowing DK to bounce on spikes without damage and defeat enemies that DK could not on his own Dixie Kong twirls her hair helicopter-style for a small double-jump. ![]() Within stages themselves, they are manifested through DK’s sidekicks, Diddy, Dixie, and Cranky Kong, with each augmenting DK with an extra ability.
