Donkey Kong 64/Creepy Castle

For information about tricks this page might refer to, see the main Donkey Kong 64 page.

• A few names are commonly used to refer to different places in this level:
  • The crypt is the lowest area. It contains Funky's shop and DK's minecart ride.
  • The tunnel connects the pool near the area with five warps and the lower warp 1 pad.
  • The dungeon is connected to the tunnel. It has Golden Bananas for Lanky, Diddy, and DK.
  • The Library, Ballroom, and Museum have signs outside them.
• There are quite a few places in Creepy Castle where you can jump from a higher area to a lower area:
  • From the top of the level to Tiny's blueprint. Video (#4)
  • From the top of the level to the greenhouse and from there to Lanky's blueprint. Video (#2)
  • From the Museum to the tunnel or the crypt and from the tunnel to the crypt. Video (#3)
  • From the Ballroom to the Rocketbarrel near warp 2. Video (#5)
• You can get Tiny's Golden Banana in the crypt without raising the hands by bouncing an orange off the side wall of the room (so that it explodes somewhere in the acid), jumping into it to gain invincibility, and hurrying over to the banana. Video (#2)
• If you stand very close to the gate, you can shoot the switch in Chunky's area of the big tree without Sniper Sight. Video (#1)
• You can use STVW on several walls in the level's pools to swim through the center of the level or to swim in the air around the level. Video
• You can use the extra speed given by Orangstand Sprint to jump to Lanky's Golden Banana in the crypt without playing the trombone. Using a midair attack after jumping is helpful. Video (#11)
• If you stand on the very edge of the first Baboon Balloon pad in Lanky's room in the dungeon, you can clear the gap with one Baboon Balloon.
  • You don't need Baboon Balloon to use the pads in the dungeon.
• DK doesn't need Strong Kong to get through the corridor with the flying books in the Library.
• You can use the C-up glitch behind Snide's HQ with DK to get into the wall next to the back door to the Library. You can then roll and jump to get into the Library. Video (#1)
• You can use the Chunky rock glitch to get into the room with the entrance to Tiny's car race. Use the trick again to enter the race with Chunky. If you win, you will get the Golden Banana. Video (#3)
• You can moonkick from the greenhouse to the walkway above. Video (#1)
• You can use the C-up glitch on the back wall of the greenhouse to enter it without pounding the switch. Video (#2)
