Summary: Really good book for an average game
Review: BradyGames seem to make the best strategy guides out for all games in general. I have used the Xenogears, Final Fantasy VII and VIII guides by Brady and now I have used the DK64 and all are worth the purchase, easily understood, the maps are done well, and the guides are competently organized

Summary: The Gateway
Review: I call this guide the gateway because it has helped me so much. It tells you all you need to know plus it comes with a poster how good is that.

Summary: Easy to use--covers all the bases
Review: It took Amazon about a week to finally ship this, but it was worth the wait. The book is divided into chapters for each level. Each chapter usually starts with one kong and leads you to all five bananas for that kong, and then starts with the next kong, etc. There is also a good overview in some chapters that describes special circumstances for the level--for example, some levels require two characters to collaborate for a banana. Each chapter also has a helpful "banana checklist" that you can use to keep track of which bananas you have earned. I also like the helpful hints on each page.The book also contains information on special moves for each kong, so if you're not sure how to use the "Primate Punch" you can look it up easily. My only complaints is that the level maps are hard to read (you need to use the legend).

Summary: The Gateway
Review: the Golden Banana? the American Dream? is anyone seeing the connection? this is social allegory at its finest. Schmidt and Bogenn play upon the secret hope of all of us, to find the "strategy guide" that will impart upon us the "surefire trick" to "defeat the boss" and attain the "Golden Banana." ....... Written under Marx's ideological wing, this guide teaches that EVERYONE can use these techniques, and WE ALL can "beat the game." The only obstacles are the bosses and their minions (the capitalists and the police that exist to protect their property), and that there are enough bananas for every proletarian monkey to be satisfied if only they learn to work together.

Summary: DK 64 Official Strategy Guide Review
Review: This book is GREAT. It is well organized and the maps are easy to read and very helpful. The maps show where every single banana, banana bunch coin, Banana Fairy, and Battle Arena is. It gives detailed desriptions for each golden banana and blueprint. It also covers the Mystery items and strategies for Kong Battles. One of the best things about this is that it is organized into easy-to-read sections: A 12 page section for each level (except the last), each divided into a title page, which displays the name of the level, the amount of Golden Bananas needed to enter, any Kongs that are rescued in that level, and the way to get to the lobby. The next 10 pages are 2-page sections for each Kong that explain where to find each Golden Banana, banana, and coin for each Kong. The last page shows a complete map of the whole level with locations of the banana fairies and the battle arena.

Summary: Grate Stratagy Guide But A Few Falts
Review: This is a very good guide in that it goes through details of how to get most golden bannanas and most metals. Yet it has falts. For example, the maps are no good do to the fact that there is no way to tell how to get from one place to another50. Also the other stratagy guide that someone else mentioned is a lot sturdier. I mean even if your as gentel as beep the pages will rip out of this stratagy guide. Finally in order to recieve a metal to let you fight K. Rool you have to beat this old fashion Donkey Kong arcade game twice. Though this guide mentions the game it dosen't explain how to beet level 3 of 4 well enough. Other than that it's a pretty good stratagy guide.
