All 75 Kremkoins
In Pirate Panic, go into K.Rools cabin (dont collect the balloon) and then leave. Jump over the first two bananas, then collect the next bunch on top of the barrels. Still avoiding the first pair of bananas, return to the cabin and grab the balloon. Repeat step 2 then return to the cabin, still avoiding the first two bananas. Youll get a floating Kremcoin in the air. Grab it to automatically get all the Kremkoins.

Hidden Bonuses

2-Up in Hot Head Hop
In the level Hot Head Hop, throw your partner right above the entrance. If you look closely you will see a black treasure box. Pick it up and throw it at the first rat. The box contains a 2-Up.

Easy Walkin
In the honey comb levels, you can walk through the sticky honey without jumping.
Use the tag team method so that Diddy or Dixie is on one or the others shoulders. Once youve done this, walk through the honey without sticky feet.

Many extra lives in Krem Quay
fWhen you get to Krem Quay, the first level youre in is Barrel Bayou. Proceed through the level until you get to two Kloaks throwing beetles. The first one will run off, but the other one will throw another beetle and leave, follow him. He wont go too far before he throws a treasure chest at you. Go to the bee at the end of the platform but dont break the chest on him. Go back and the two kloaks will be there again. Break the chest on a beetle and repeat the process as many times as you want because the 2-life balloon comes back as well.

Automatic End
In the first level of the game (I forget what its called), when you enter Gateway Galleon, go on top of the barrels and jump over to the first hook. You need Dixie to do this. Hold down the fast button and jump over to your left, and whip out that helicopter thing. While youre going down, you will hear a noise like you are getting shot out of a barrel, and you will get blasted to a part in the ship where there is a lot of bananas and two doors, one to your left and one to your right. Exit through the one to your right and you will end up at the hook at the end of the level.

Warp to end of level (Crocodile Cauldron )
In the Crocodile Cauldron in the level before Kleevers Kiln, from the beginning of the level walk right and youll see a banana coin. Youll need dixie to do this. Jump over it and glide towards the right underneath the platform as if youre committing suicide. If you did it right youll be in an invisible barrel and blasted across to the end of the screen into another invisible barrel and up. youll be in a room with some bannanas in the shape of an “!”. After you get them and go right, youll exit that room and be blasted into the barrel at the end of the level that blasts you onto the bullseye. That is the hardest level in Crocodile Cauldren and this warp will help you beat it and if you are going to get the DK coin you can go back and get it without having to beat the level afterwards.

Hint: Lockjaws Locker Shortcut
Fall to the ground at the start of the level as usual, then walk until you come to the the part where the water rises. Go back and stay near the ceiling. After you swim almost to the start of the level, there should be an opening where you can go up and get coins. Go to the right of that opening and there should be a little gap that looks like theres nothing there. Swim up into it, and you will be fired by an invisible barrel to a place where there is an exclamation mark spelled out in bananas. Go into the right opening and you will be warped to the end of the level.
