This works exactly like the Playstation version. During a Fall that will cost you a life, Press [Start] then [Square] then select yes. Of course this has to be done from a very high fall (like off of a cliff where you die) in order for you to be able to do it fast enough. but it will work for any fall if you are fast enough.

You will see a gauge at the bottom of the screen. When you collect glowing bananas, your gauge will fill and will give you a boost of speed. To increase your gauge, hold X and release. This will make you jump. While jumping, hold or press Circle or Triangle. You will perform a trick and increase your gauge. To get higher up, jump while on a hill of snow.

When you go to save the game, go to the view monkeys section (the floppy disk with a monkey on it). To view a monkey, you are instructed to press X, but instead you can also use Circle. Highlight a monkey and press either X or Circle. Move to the last monkey you have (you must have over two pages), then move back to the first monkey. There will be an "L" at the bottom left hand corner of the screen, but you cannot move back with L. To exit this glitch, press R once and when you press L it will be gone.
