|align=left|Creepy Castle is the seventh and penultimate level in the game. It consists of a huge, medieval castle floating above the clouds in the sky. The castle has a constant spooky atmosphere, and its many rooms are haunted. The Kongs must explore both the outside and the inside of the castle. The outside consists of several grassy and wooden platforms with enemies such as [[Bones (enemy)|Bones]] and Koshas. There is a constant thunderstorm outside, and a pond near the beginning of the stage. There is also a giant tree near the pond that can be entered for one of the Golden Bananas, and a small greenhouse with a labyrinth where a [[Kroc]] resides. The castle itself consists of several haunted rooms, some of them with a medieval style. The largest room in the castle is the Ballroom, a huge room with images of K. Rool and three giant candles. Next to this room is the Museum, which contains several ancient statues. The library is haunted by several [[book]]s that attack the Kongs. The castle also has several underground catacombs, where a torture room and a creepy minecart track with a [[resident demon]] that attacks the Kongs are found.

|align=left|Hideout Helm is the eighth and final level of the game. It is located inside King K. Rool's fortress, and is where the Blast-o-Matic is located. As soon as the Kongs enter this stage, a timer appears on the bottom of the screen, indicating how much time the Kongs have to shut down the machine before it destroys Donkey Kong Island. Depending on how many Blueprints the Kongs collected, the amount of time increases. The default time is ten minutes, and each blueprint given to [[Snide]] adds one minute to the timer for a maximum of fifty minutes. The machine must be disabled by completing [[minigame]]s with each Kong, thus disabling the machine by sections. Once the Blast-o-Matic is disabled, the Kongs can access the final Boss Key if they have at least four [[Battle Crown]]s and have completed ''Jetpac'' and ''Donkey Kong''. There are no collectibles in this level aside from five Banana | |align=left|Hideout Helm is the eighth and final level of the game. It is located inside King K.

[[Troff]] and [[Scoff]] guard the doors that lead to the bosses who hold seven of the eight keys to [[K. Lumsy]]'s cage. By feeding Scoff a certain number of bananas, it allows Troff to reach the key to open the door. The players need to feed Scoff more bananas each progressed level and the combined total of all the Kongs' bananas can be pertained. Once all the bananas reach to 0, the key opens the door and a roulette spins, determining which Kong is going to battle against the Boss. Only the designated Kong can enter the door. The door will close if a different Kong tries to go inside the door at any time. Once the correct Kong enters the door, the door slams shut, and evil laughter can be heard before the screen fades to the Boss Battle. | [[Troff]] and [[Scoff]] guard the doors that lead to the bosses who hold seven of the eight keys to [[K.

*''Donkey Kong 64'' is the first ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]''-related title to support 16:9 widescreen display; despite this, the game's cutscenes are still locked to the standard 4:3 aspect ratio. It is also the first ''Super Mario''-related title to support surround sound (via the three-channel {{wp|Dolby Pro Logic|Dolby Surround}} encoding standard, as the [[Nintendo 64]] lacks native surround sound support), though the first actual ''Super Mario'' game to support surround sound would be ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'' three years later. It is also the only ''Super Mario''-related title on the Nintendo 64 with these features. | |||
