Screenshot from Donkey Kong 64

Gorilla Grab (Simium Strainus) is one of Donkey Kong's moves in Donkey Kong 64. He can learn it from any Cranky's Lab from seven Banana Bunch Coins, beginning with Frantic Factory. With Gorilla Grab, Donkey Kong can pull levers while standing on an footprint pad next to it, if the player presses B Button, causing a certain event to occur. For example, in Frantic Factory, Gorilla Grab is used to power up the Production Room. Another notable instance where Donkey Kong performs the move is to play the Donkey Kong arcade cabinet in Frantic Factory. Donkey Kong can perform Gorilla Grab on a lever in the DK Isles lobby for Frantic Factory and Fungi Forest each.
