There's a smattering of new items in the move from the GBA to the Nintendo DS. You don't want to attack a bee from the stinger end, right? Right. Of course, there's a little technique involved in removing bad guys from play - it's all about aiming at the right spot. It's not all L and R, though - players can leap attack using the A button on the DS controls, which comes in handy when you want to shatter a barrel or take out an enemy safely. Once you get the rhythm down you'll be able to grab, jump and change directions using nothing but the L and R buttons.

Jumping's pulled off by pushing both shoulder buttons down and releasing them, an important technique to grasp since many pegboard patterns have gaps that need to be leapt across. If you grasp pegs in both hands, he'll stop in place. When you grab with one of Donkey Kong's hands, he'll automatically start spinning in clockwise or counterclockwise motions. The challenge is to climb all over elaborately positioned pegboards by alternating hands. Jungle Climber, like King of Swing before it, is a unique action platform game where players control Donkey Kong simply by using the shoulder buttons on the system: L for the left hand, R for the right.
