Artwork of Diddy Kong hanging from a Handle Peg.

Handle Pegs are variants of Pegs from the game DK: King of Swing. These special pegs appear as a wheel which is situated on either a vertical or horizontal metal bar. If Donkey Kong grabs onto the wheel, the Handle Peg will carry him as it travels either across or up the metal bar. The direction which the handle peg moves differs depends on which hand grabs it. If is used, the wheel will turn up on a vertical bar and right on a horizontal one. If is used, the opposite happens for each respective bar. Once Donkey Kong lets go of it, the handle peg turns back to its original position. They first appear towards the end of the level Contraption Cave in the Jungle World.

Instruction Booklet

• "When you grab these, the handle turns and the mechanism operates. You can change the direction it turns by grabbing it with the other hand. Other handle pegs move left and right and up and down."
