===Moves/abilities=== | |||
*A chart posted by designer [[Gregg Mayles]] shows that moves such as the [[Helicopter Twirl]] and [[Team Up]]. were not part of the character's basic moveset, but rather would need to be unlocked by defeating bosses<ref name="Move chart"></ref>. | |||
*The chart also mentions hidden upgraded versions of the [[Cartwheel]] and [[Helicopter Spin]] which would spin twice instead of once, as well as similar power ups for the [[Animal Friends]]. | |||
*Several moves not present in the final game were considered. These included charged up versions of the Cartwheel/Helicopter Spin, the ability to execute the previously-mentioned attacks while in the air, and a "sommersault bomb" where the Kongs would "roll up in a ball [and] sommersault down vertically to hit enemies [and] smash objects". | |||
