All published and official codes as of Saturday May 18, 2013 for Donkey Kong 64 are shown below.
Go to creepy castle. Go to the room that chunky needs to open. When your walking you should see two mirrors. Take out your gun and put it through the mirror (it doesn't matter which one you put it in) holz so you don't move (if you want) and fire away. Do it rite the pineapple goes through do it wrong pineapple explodes on the mirror.
when you pick Donkey Kong or Diddy Kong, they both have their own guns. (Donkey: ''Shotgun'', Diddy: 2 Pistols) Now, how to do this? Press the Z button underneath the Controller Pad, then press C-Left. Note: Try using it in levels higher than the first level. If you want to aim with your gun(s), press C-Up. If you have the scope on and you want to hide your gun for now, press Z, and C-Left, and C-Down. If you do not have the scope on and hide the gun, just press C- Down, or any other button else except for button A, or C-Up.
When you go to the place where you save diddy there will be a platform with king cruel on it. Beat all the beavers and when you get out of it the platform will dissapear.
When you see a number platform (like 1 or 5) get on it and press trigger.
Under cover of night, Diddy climbs up to the top of the barn in Fungi Forest and slams a switch on the roof, opening a door. You walk in, and charge the up switch. If it doesn't work, that's because you have to turn it on first! Way up on the top there is a big switch that says "ON" look up, and shoot it with a peanut, then you can charge the switch and lift up the banana cage. Play the guitar on the pad that appears to get the banana.
In the Crystal Caves igloo, go through the Bongo Blast door with DK. There is an ice maze that revolves around, and if you touch the edges you'll lose an entire melon. Impossible, right? Well, as soon as you walk in play the drums again, and the maze won't move at all, making it very easy to get the banana.
If you have trouble beating the robots in frantic fractory, then all you have to do is wait for them to wind up, then hit then with an orange.
IMPORTANT: USE CHUNKY KONG! Use the number 2 portal to go in front of the temple entrance. Run to your right and pick up a boulder. Walk over to the orange brick steps ear the bee. DROP (using Z) the boulder on the edge of the top step so that the boulder intersects with the first step and is on the second step. You have to do this next part quickly or the boulder wil blow up. Get on the second step and pick up the boulder while running towards the top step. Keep running while you pick up the boulder. You wil now only see part of Chunky's head because his body is in the ground! Go forward until the wall of the mountain has a big dent in it on your right. Run through the dent. You are now inside DK Isle! if you go to the right spot you will fall into the water. You can now also go inside some other other smaller islands!
The first level has asteroids. The second level has bouncing furballs. The third level has bubbles. The fourth level is where it starts to get hard theres jets that shoot out at you. The fifth level is VERY hard theres UFOs that will chase you and do not explode when hitting a wall. The sixth level is really easy compared to level 5 theres crosses that bounce of the walls.
Go to frantic factory then go to the number 3 and press Z (the alligator toys must be chasing you). Make sure that you have both 3's or this will not work.
There are some doors that have pictures of items in the last level to get to K. Rool, .To past them, you need those items. The first door has a picture of four Battle Crowns and the next door has a picture of the Rareware and Nintendo coins. You cannot ignore the Donkey Kong and Jetpac games. They must be completed to get the coins to open that door.
Go into multi-player mode in monkey smash, choose the area with the big tree in the middle. Go to the moat and swim against the side till your head is the wall. Keep swimming until you go through the wall, then press C up. You should be swimming underneath the ground.
If you go to the two player mode and choose monkey smash, (the one with the giant tree in the middle) go up to all the walls and you should find that you can go through walls at jungle japes and frantic factory. It's a great way to beat your friends while playing because they won't ever know where you are.
Start playing the "Frantic Factory Boss" and you will end up on a platform, while on it back up until the tip of it and run until you are really close to the other side then press Z+B. When you reach the bottom of the arena you can walk every where you want. If you want back up just walk near the towers and there will be a platform. It may take a couple of tryes to get the timing.
While you are swimming above or below the press C-up.
When you are about to fall of a high object press C-Up.
Take out your Kong's weapon and activate the aiming feature. Line up the intended target and throw the orange as normal.
Make your kong Tiny and have unlimited crystal coconuts. Go into the room with the DK Arcade and go into the Tiny barrel to become small and go to the top of the boxes on top of the desk. You should be in front of the tunnel. Jump to the desk in the middle of the area. There is a 5 banana port pad on top of the desk. Use the 5 banana port pad to go to Funky's area. There are 4 tricks you can do:
1. Go to the DK Arcade room and go through the small tunnel and the gate will open at the other side. Jump out and change back to normal Tiny then do a high jump. You will be inside the tunnel! Then take your feather bow out and shoot into the tunnel (not in first person view). Your feathers will go into the pipe (only a short distance)! 2. Do the same thing as number 1 but stand at the edge of the tunnel (the exit). Now get your feather bow out and if you got sniper mode from Funky at Spooky Castle, look closer at the window and shoot. Your shots will disappear! The window is black instead of see-through! 3. Go into Chunky's area and go to the bouncing watermelon box. Go under the watermelon box and you will be inside it! Do a high jump when it is off the ground and you will do a very high jump! 4. Go to any pole and climb it. You will be climbing super fast! At the top of the highest one jump down (but don't hang on to the pole). You will be falling a very long time (try doing a simian slam at the top)!
NOTE: YOU MUST HAVE LANKEY FOR THIS TIP! Go to any level you dont have enough bananas for. Ignore the gaurds rambling nonsense and go to the side of him. Look at the blue potal thing then punch his hand. He will hit it and you will enter the level. This may take a few tries but it works.
Find and photograph all twenty fairies with the camera to unlock the Cheat Mode option at the "Mystery Menu". This allows unlimited items during a game.
Go to the Fungi Forest Level entry and get Diddy jetpac. Then fly to the top of the DK moutain and you will see a barrel. Go inside of it.
After collecting the Rare Ware coin, Nintendo coin, and 100 golden bananas; freeing K. Lumsy; and completed Hideout Helm, you will get access to the final battle with K. Rool. You have to fight in a boxing ring and hit K. Rool four times with each Kong, with round times of three minutes. If you lose any of these rounds, you have to start over at Donkey. Donkey With Donkey, K. Rool will jump up and slam the ground, causing shock waves, like Kasplat. Four barrels will appear. Jump into one of them and fire at K. Rool when he lifts his arm and yells "Thank You" to the audience. Do this four times. Diddy With Diddy, K. Rool will throw his boxing glove. This is hard to avoid on the ground, but easy once you have got into the Rocket Barrel. Once in the Rocket Barrel, fire peanuts at the targets on the four lights at the top of the ring. Hit him with all four lights. Lanky With Lanky, K. Rool will have a light fixture stuck on his head. All he can do is run around the ring. Four numbered switches will appear outside the ring. Run to where you can get a clear shot, then press B to push in the number. A barrel will appear next to Lanky outside the ring. Press B to pick it up, then throw it into the middle of the ring. A giant banana peel will appear out of the barrel. Four trombone pads will appear on the ground in the ring. Stand on a trombone, then wait until K. Rool is a straight line away from you. Play the trombone, then K. Rool will run at you from where he is standing. If your timing is good, he will trip on the banana peel. Do this four times. Tiny With Tiny, K. Rool will pound the ground as he did with Donkey. Wait until he pounds the ground a few times, then he will start yelling in pain. A barrel will appear. Turn small, then run into the hole in his left shoe. Inside, you will have your feather bow. His toes will attack in patterns. Watch them and when one wiggles, it is going to attack. When a toe rises, fire the crossbow at it. Once you hit it enough times, it will turn red. Get into his shoe and make all four toes red. Chunky This is the last battle and is a little more complicated than the rest. K. Rool will turn invisible and bounce from rope to rope, but you will still see his shadow. Hit the switch and four Chunky pads will appear. Press Z on one to become invisible, then jump into the barrel to become big Chunky. You have to have very good timing to do this. The first two times K. Rool will just run at you. Primate Punch him (hold Z and press B) just as he approaches, and you will hit him. The third time, he will be invisible. Primate Punch him again. The fourth time, he will be invisible and swerve back and forth. If you hit him, you win.
