Gameplay[]
The player moves through levels using the control stick and attacks by tilting the Wiimote in whichever direction they need to attack performing a variety of punches. You can also press buttons to jump and punch.
Once a gauge has filled up on the side of the screen if the player presses A and B at the same time then they can perform a special move which varies for different characters. These are usually more powerful than regular punches and help in battle.
Adventure Mode[]
There is an adventure mode in this game in which King K. Rool has again attempted to take off Donkey Kong Island however he is once again attacked and defeated by the kongs, the first level consists of you walking through a jungle, using boxing moves to defeat foes such as Zingers, Gnawtys, and Kritters. There are several bosses until K. Rool is finally found and defeated.
