Whenever you have two Kongs out and one of them is hit, the next Kong will instantly jump no matter what once you gain control. We can utilize this jump to skip sections in many levels.

Similar to the Kong Damage Boost, we can also utilize damage from animals to either skip sections or go faster through other parts of the game. The main difference between Animal Damage Boosting and Kong Damage Boosting is that once your animal has taken damage, it is up to the player time the jump by pressing B. The animal will not instantly jump without any inputs once the player has regained control. This can be challenging for new players as timing the damage boost jumps in [[Web Woods]] can be difficult. It is also worth noting that the timing to jump for some animals is more lenient than others. For example, Damage Boost jumping with Rattly is much easier than Squitter as the timing window to press B after receiving damage with Squitter is much tighter than with Rattly.

Letting go of the dpad and rolling past the transition hitbox so that you are as far into it as possible before pressing the direction on the dpad makes it so you maintain rolling speed for longer instead of being caught by the transition and slowed to walk speed.

Damage Boosting

Damage Boosting is an important part of speedrunning DKC3 as it allows you to skip various sections of many different levels.

Here is some examples in "Rocket Barrel Ride" at 0:27 and 0:58


Water Bouncing

This is a useful trick that only works with Kiddy (Unique to DKC3).
You have to press B as soon as you land on the water to bounce off it (limit to two in a row).

Here is an example in "Tidal Trouble" at 0:08


Team Throw Hovering

This is a needed trick to beat Kaos the optimal way.
In DKC3, if you time your throw right, you can hover in the air as long as you want and you won't fall like in DKC2.

Here is the example in "Kaos Karnage" at 0:25


Horizontal Rope Climbing

Unlike DKC2, you won't gain any time by jumping up vertical ropes...
for horizontal ropes though, DKC3 is on fire!
Kiddy being slower, Dixie climbs horizontal ropes like crazy and mastering this technique can be a real time-saver!

Here is an example in "Krevice Kreppers", the entire stage benefits of this neat trick!


Squitter Instant Platforms

THIS IS DIFFERENT FROM DKC2!!
Instead of hitting L and R at the same time, you'll have to press L slightly before R so you can make an instant platform
In "Krack-Shot Krock", sometimes, you'll have to delay them ever more so you get the perfect level on each parts of the level
Here is the example :
