As opposed to the original game where you go to the map every time you beat a level, in this game you only go to the map after the title screen and after defeating a boss. Many of the boss fights are from the original game. The two Kongs can be swapped by pressing Select, provided both are available. The player controls Donkey Kong and Diddy through numerous side-scrolling levels of many different themes.
