Total Rekoil

Map (by Shiny)

The bouncy guys are Rekoils. A jump on the head is best, although you can also roll/spin into them as well in case they're on the ground. Be careful when tangling with them; you can get hit when you least expect it.

The first bonus area is to the left. Go left and jump up. You'll be able to jump into a barrel cannon that will take you to the first bonus area. Here, you're taking on a Buzz and a couple of Rekoils to get the Bonus Coin.

When you have a choice between going up and going left after the start of the level, go left first. You'll find Koin; throw the steel cage into the wall on the left from the right of Koin to get the DK Coin.

The second bonus area is in the corner near the ceiling, just before the G. Here, you'll be collecting stars again for a Bonus Coin. Watch out for the Rekoil.

If you roll/spin off an edge and then jump, you can perform a mid-air superjump.

Sheepy Shop

At the Sheepy Shop inhabited by an unnamed Brothers Bear located in every world, you can match cards with the D-Pad and the A button. The blocks at the bottom indicate how much time you have left. When you beat the game, you'll get a DK Coin, a Bear Coin, a 1-Up, a bunch of bananas and a clock. That last item will be important much later on, and you will need all of the clocks.

If you complete the matching game fast enough, you'll get a cheat code! You'll also get five Bear Coins.

The Sheepy Shop can also be used to teleport from one world to another, much like Funky Kong's services in the other games.

Koco Channel

Map (by Shiny)

At the start of the level, jump over the water and jump to the right off the two Knick-Knacks. You'll find Koin on the other side; throw the steel keg so it hits the wall behind Koin to get the DK Coin.

This is where the game's equivalent of the Klap-Traps debut. Don't roll into them, or you'll get bitten and lose a Kong.

Squitter the Spider is back and he controls just like he did in the second game. B will shoot web projectiles that defeat enemies, and if you press Select while a projectile is out, it will turn into a web platform. Use the web platforms to get to places you normally couldn't. Also, hold Up or Down while shooting web projectiles to aim upwards or downwards, respectively.

If Squitter lands in water, it will hurt him, so don't do that.

Speaking of which, the first bonus area is to the left after you get Squitter. Go back to the left and take to the sky with the web platforms in order to find it. In this bonus area, you'll need to brave the lake and it's fish - and two Rekoils if you go to dry land early - to find the Bonus Coin.

The second bonus area is in the last body of water in the stage before the goal. Go down and to the left to find the bonus area. Beyond the Bonus Barrel are two extra lives and a Bear Coin, which I didn't even bother to look for. You'll be collecting stars again; head to the left for stars that are easy to mess when you drop into the water here.

Liftshaft Lottery

Map (by Shiny)

The porcupine enemies known as Bristles can only be hit with a spin/roll attack from the front; hitting them from the back or jumping onto them will cause you to lose a Kong.

The first bonus area is to the right when you have a fork in the road. (Left leads to a barrel cannon and the O.) You'll be collecting stars for this one; watch out for the Buzzes as you climb up and down the ropes.

The DK coin is just before the N. Instead of heading left like the arrow of bananas tells you to do, keep going up. You'll find Koin. Throw the steel keg over Koin and into the wall for the DK Coin.

The second bonus area is near the end. The upper-left corner will look a bit suspect if you're riding on the moving platforms. Jump towards that area to jump into a barrel cannon that leads to the bonus area. You'll be bashing the baddies here. Don't worry about the Buzz; just take out the four Rekoils for the Bonus Coin.

Barbos Bastion

You'll turn into Enguarde as soon as you enter your first boss fight. Also, when you start a boss level, you'll always automatically start it with both Kongs.

Barbos will shoot a miniature version of himself at you; when it stops, wait for it to fully open up, then stab it so it flies right into Barbos and hits him. 

Stay all the way to the upper-left to avoid Barbos' attacks. The mini-mes will get faster with each phase of the battle, with the third mini-me almost cornering you. After the third hit, Barbos attacks one more time before you get the Bonus Coin and complete the first world of the game.
