King Ruhl now imagines himself a pirate, assuming the title of "Captain". As in the best (or worst) pirate traditions, they kidnap Donkey Kong and keep him in their lair on the line "Crocodile" in order to obtain ransom. Diddy Kong and his friend Dixie go to the island to save their unlucky friend.
Gameplay
As before, you can play alone, alone in a team or two together against each other. The player goes on level, battling with enemies, collecting bonuses and finding hidden bonus levels.
Now the heroes can jump on each other to make team shots. They are needed to climb on inaccessible heights or "kill" enemies that can not be "killed" alone.
Bonus levels are significantly changed. Now the player must get the Kremkoin coin for the allotted time. To do this, you must either collect all the stars, or destroy all enemies, or simply reach the finish line of the bonus level. In total there are 75 bonus levels in the game.
At each level there is one hard-to-find Hero of the Game icon. At the end of the game, Cranky Kong checks how many the player found (only in the GBA version).
