Rambi’s Moves
In some stages, you will find Rambi the rhinoceros
waiting to help in the quest. Moving and jumping with
Rambi is the same as with Donkey Kong, but Rambi has
some unique moves of his own.
To use Rambi, locate a crate with the Rambi logo on its side.
Jump on the crate and ground pound to release Rambi.
To jump on Rambi’s back, press while standing
next to Rambi. To dismount Rambi, press either
or .
When using the Wii Remote (Horizontal) control style, the
controls for dismounting Rambi are different. Hold
and
press .
While riding Rambi, Donkey Kong will be invulnerable to most
enemies and environmental dangers, as Rambi will knock them
out of the way.
Shaking the Wii Remote or Nunchuk will cause Rambi to
ground pound.
Shake the Wii Remote or Nunchuk while holding left or right on
to charge Rambi forward.

Mine Carts
While riding a mine cart, you can jump or
crouch (pg. 13) to avoid obstacles.

the mine cart. In these stages you must time your jumps so you
land back on the mine cart.
Rocket Barrel
Rocket Barrels control their own direction of travel. After
jumping in a Rocket Barrel, rapidly press to start the rocket.
Once in the air, press or hold to increase the rocket’s thrust.

that item.
