Question
I discovered a neat little thing in level 1-3 of Donkey Kong Country Returns for Nintendo Wii: early on in the level there are three enemies all in a row: two birds and a drum thing. With careful jumps, I can jump on both birds (killing each on one hit) and land on the drum three times (killing it) without hitting the ground. It seems to me this nets me three banana coins!
What specifically is going on here? Are there other such bonuses for killing enemies? For example, can you do a similar thing by rolling? What other special, unique ways to kill enemies should I be looking out for, or is "Mario Brothers" consecutive jumping the only one?
Answer
You can consecutively jump on enemies. On the third and subsequent bounces, you'll get banana coins. I've read online that when you get to the eighth bounce, you start to get balloons, but I've never gotten that many. A good place to try is level 2-2, Sloppy Sands. After the first checkpoint, look for the squid cannons with a platform above.
Killing multiple enemies with the same barrel will also earn you banana coins in the same way (one coin for each enemy starting with the third). This is trickier to pull off as it requires a barrel and an uninterrupted surface with at least three enemies.
You don't get anything for rolling into multiple enemies. That would be nice, especially on levels like 1-4, Sunset Shore.
