SUMMARY
In Donkey Kong 64, the player initially controls DK, the title Character. DK has had his hoard of golden bananas, and somewhat less importantly all of his friends, stolen by King K. Rool, a lard of a reptile with a beer belly. DK's father, Cranky, is a mad scientist who fickly awards potions of skill to Donkey whenever Donkey can bribe him with enough bananas. As the game progresses you unlock more playable characters.
GAMEPLAY
Gameplay in DK64 is platformer-esque with a larger cardinality of gameplay. DK can run in all directions, and jump, but still move from platform to platform, treetop to treetop , ledge to ledge. The control scheme is simple enough: Analog Stick to move, A to jump, B to attack, C-Up to Zoom etc. Combos of these controls exist (Z + C-Left Draws your gun) but are not performed as real time attacks and require no skill to pull off. DK64 is mostly an adventure game, with the quests being collecting hidden items and solving puzzles to unlock advances in the story.
