NOTE: If you’re having trouble with ANY PART of this game, please feel free to
email me at any time. If you’re having trouble with a boss, tell me exactly
what you’re doing so I can figure out what you’re doing wrong. I’ve been able
to help several people on bosses (especially the K.Rool Cut-Out in Creepy
Castle) via email. I really do enjoy receiving questions for this game and I
love to help people out! My email is listed below in the introduction.
Hello all. So I’ve decided to make this walkthrough for a game which I’ve been
enjoying for a while now. Just a note, each walkthrough will contain Golden
Bananas, Regular Bananas [100 in each level for each Kong] (for you
perfectionists out there like myself!), Battle Arenas, DK Dirt Pile locations,
and more! I will also include brief mentioning of each blueprint in the
walkthroughs for each Kong in each world for those of you who are following
along. I tried to break this walkthrough down piece by piece (so it’s long!).
To go directly to a section, press Ctrl + F and then enter the number (for
example, for Enemies you will enter 0002 and for DK Isles Walkthrough for Diddy
you will enter 3.2). I hope you find this walkthrough easy to follow. If not,
please feel free to e-mail questions (make sure you title the e-mail “DK 64
Questions” or something like that so I don’t delete it!), comments, jokes,
rebuttal to bluechick112@yahoo.com. Please remember not to add me to your
“Contacts” list so I don’t get accidental forwarded emails. I love getting
questions for this game though, so please don’t hesitate to send me an e-mail!
I always answer promptly, so email any questions you may have. There are no
stupid questions! :)
Please do not send me spam.
Enjoy!
Ooooooh, Banana!

0017 Legal Disclaimer
0001 CHARACTERS
Donkey Kong: (yellow) You may know this Kong well by now if you’re a true fan!
This N64 version is much more high tech than the Super Nintendo version,
though. He can do a lot of new moves in this game including playing Bongos and
shooting Coconuts. An old favorite you might remember is shooting out of
barrels (very common in this game considering quite a few times you’ll get a
golden banana out of this move!). He can also do the “Gorilla Grab” which you
will obtain from Cranky’s Lab during game play. Another neat trick this Kong
can do is to turn invincible! You will buy this from Cranky also during game
play (specifically in Angry Aztec) and it will allow you to run through
normally damaging areas without taking any pain! Donkey Kong can also transform
into Rambi the Rhino when permitted to unlock secrets in areas!
Diddy Kong: (red) Another familiar face (from SNES specifically)! Diddy has a
few new moves himself. He plays his guitar, shoots peanuts, uses a jetpack to
fly, has a new “Chimpy Charge”, and also a “Simian Spring”. He’s lighter weight
than Donkey Kong and is therefore easier to move (and faster, I think!).
Lanky Kong: (blue) Lanky’s a new character added. I’m not quite sure how this
goofball is related-he must be a cousin twice removed or something, but he sure
adds some fun to this game! He has a lot of useful moves including shooting
purple grapes, playing a trombone, sprinting really fast on his long arms,
turning into a floating balloon, and doing handstands to walk up steep
inclines. You’ll find he is very useful especially when used to get into levels
when you don’t have enough golden bananas! All you have to do is press B when
standing next to B.Locker and Lanky’s lanky arms will let you into the level!
Lanky also has a very useful ability which needs to be mentioned. He can
transform into Enguarde the swordfish to unlock secrets in the area!
Tiny Kong: (purple) This has to be my favorite of the bunch. Being a girl, I’m
extremely happy that Tiny has been introduced into this game. She is small like
Diddy so she’s extremely easy to use. She also has a few cool moves! She has a
feather shooter and she also plays the saxophone. She has the ability to warp
to different areas of levels by standing on her warp pads. She can also do a
Pony-Twirl and float a lot like Dixie Kong (her older sister) from SNES.
Another extremely useful thing that Tiny is capable of doing is turning
miniature by jumping into her Mini-Monkey barrels. This allows us to go into
small holes and doors that our other Kongs can’t fit into!
Chunky Kong: (green) Oh, Chunky. Now I’ll admit he is my least favorite
character but only because he is so large and slow. He does have a few neat
moves though. He shoots pineapples and plays the triangle. He can also become
extremely large using his personal barrel, and knock down gates and move large
rocks. Later on in the game we also obtain what’s called “Gorilla Gone” from
Cranky which turns Chunky invisible, allowing us to see otherwise hidden stuff
in levels!
Cranky: Cranky is Wrinkly’s husband (do you all remember Wrinkly? She’s in this
game too!). He helps us out by providing us with potions which we can buy using
our banana coins. These potions give us special abilities which we absolutely
have to obtain to beat this game! He also lets us play the Jetpack game for 15
banana medals.
Wrinkly: Wrinkly is, as I mentioned before, Cranky’s wife. Apparently, she dies
somewhere along the line and is now placed as a ghost at the beginnings of all
the levels. She provides us with hints for each Kong.
Candy: Candy is Donkey Kong’s girlfriend. She provides us with instruments
which are very powerful. When played, they will kill all the enemies in the
room. When played on a music pad, they will unlock secret doors and sometimes
even bring us bananas!
Funky: Funky helps us out a great deal in this game. He owns the ammo shop and
provides us with, you’ll never guess, guns and ammo! Without these guns, we
would be completely stuck because we need them to get out almost all of the
Kongs from their jails. We also need them to hit switches which open gates and
other doors for us very frequently leading to golden bananas!
Snide: Snide resides in his little shack (Snide’s HQ) in each level of this
game. He used to work for K.Rool and has decided to help us out in our quest
for the golden bananas. What we need to do with him is give him all of the
blueprints we find. For each blueprint, he will reward us with one golden
banana (pretty sweet deal, I think).
0002 Enemies
We have a lot of enemies in this game, so beware! I will rate them on a
difficulty scale of 1-10.
Gnawty: Difficulty (1/10)
These are the blue beavers you will see throughout the entire game. They are
very annoying, but are easily beaten. Usually they only take one hit and they
give us a quarter of a watermelon.
Zingers: Difficult (2/10)
The only reason I give these annoying bees a 2/10 is because they are difficult
to shoot while they’re buzzing around up there. They also shoot little green
bombs at you. They only take one hit when shot and they give us a quarter of a
watermelon.
Kasplat: Difficulty (9/10)
These guys are rough. They aren’t the most difficult enemy in the game, but
they come very close! They take a few hits (depending on the Kong you have) and
give you either a blueprint (if you haven’t hit them before) or nothing. Make
sure that you’re using the Kong whose color corresponds to the color of the
Kasplat’s hair to get the blueprint. If they have already been hit in the past,
their hair will be white.
Klumps: Difficulty (8/10)
These guys are pretty rough as well. They look like very overweight pigs at
war. You can’t shoot these guys to kill them nor can you run into them with the
attack button (B). Instead, you have to shoot the orange bombs at them to kill
them. To do this, press Z + C right. You will receive three orange bombs if you
successfully defeat one.
Klaptrap: Difficulty (6/10)
These can be annoying as hell. They come in two colors: green and purple.
Beware of the purple ones! The green Klaptraps can be defeated by simply using
the attack button (B). Beware, though, because their teeth remain clattering
around after you hit them and they can damage you too. The purple Klaptraps can
only be defeated by using the orange bombs. You will receive a melon slice from
the green ones and orange bombs from the purple.
Walking Game Pieces: Difficulty (1/10)
These are very easily defeated. They are only found in the Frantic Factory.
They are almost exactly the same as the little blue beavers and take the same
amount of hits (1) and give up one melon slice.
Clockwork Critters: Difficulty (4/10)
These are only found in the Frantic Factory. They need to be taken out with the
orange bombs. They give up half a watermelon.
Toy Monster(HUGE): Difficulty (10/10)
There is only one of these in the entire game. It is located in Frantic Factory
and only Chunky goes up against it (as Hunky Chunky). He is an accumulation of
all the game pieces. When defeated, he will give up a golden banana (wahoo!)
and a lot of watermelon slices (7?).
Fish: Difficulty (5/10)
There are a few of these puffer fish in the Gloomy Galleon level. They are
easily defeated because they just blow up on their own when you get near them.
However, watch out for their spikes when they explode!
Kosha: Difficulty (9/10)
This is my least favorite enemy in this game (and I’m sure I’m not the only
one!). These guys are horrible. They carry a large club with spikes on it that
can swing to hit you or come down right on top of you (both taking away half a
melon per hit). The one thing I’ve found that works best on them is using your
instruments to take them out (it’s always so satisfying to watch them die!).
However, if you run in front of one and have them bury their club in the
ground, you can throw an orange bomb at them as well. You will get two slices
(half a melon) if you bother to deal with them.
Star Fish: Difficulty (5/10)
These are only found in water levels (aka Gloomy Galleon). They spin around and
chase after you. Once they get a hold on you, you really can’t get loose.
They’re fairly easy to avoid, but I don’t think you can kill them.
Fake Mushroom: Difficulty (2/10)
These are alligators with a mushroom disguise on. They are found in Fungi
Forest and are very easy to beat. The only trick is, they look like springy
mushrooms (except a little fatter). You need to watch out for these guys, but
once identified, you can kill them with the attack button (B).
Skeletons: Difficulty (2/10)
These are only out during the night on Fungi Forest and then throughout the
level on Creepy Castle. They are easy to kill except for the fact that if you
hit them once, they sometimes only lose their head and their body (with their
sword) can still attack you. You should easily be able to defeat these with the
attack button (B).
Bat: Difficulty (2/10)
These are the night-time version of Zingers. They are killed exactly the same
way. The only difference is they do not throw bombs at you. Instead, they fly
quickly down to attack you so don’t stay under them for too long! You will get
one watermelon slice if you bother to deal with them.
Giant Spider: Difficulty (10/10)
This is a mini-battle which takes place in Fungi Forest with Tiny. In this
battle, there will be a giant mama spider hanging over a web. It appears that
she is sleeping. Instead of attacking us herself at first, she sends her
offspring to come and get us. Defeat the little spiders (usually they take two
hits-one to hurt them, and the other one to curl them up). Then, the mom will
wake up. Switch to the feather shooter and shoot her in the eye. Repeat this
process until she ends up falling and then attack her just like her children!
You will win a golden banana for all your efforts (woohoo!). Just a note:
beware of her spit! The pink spit will freeze you. The green spit will reverse
your controls for a bit.
Kremling Ghosts: Difficulty (1/10)
These are just badly disguised Kremlings found in Creepy Castle. They are
basically just annoying (like the blue beavers). They have white sheets over
them and try to “scare” you. Defeat them with the attack button (B) and get a
melon slice!
0003 DK Isles Walkthrough
OK then, let’s get down to business. This area is very easy to get to. It’s
your main area. I will start from the beginning (for a quick overview). You
will start this game in Donkey’s House. You will then find Cranky and complete
the small barrel exercises (enjoy it while they last-they get much harder!).
After you beat these, return to Cranky and get the potion. To use this potion,
stand on squares with your face on it (for now, Donkey’s) and jump by pressing
A. When in the air, press Z to spin around and slam the switch. Head into the
tunnel labeled “WAY OUT” and slam the DK switch. Walk towards the light and you
will be in DK Isles. NOTE: I will not be discussing this part of the game again
during the walkthrough, but please do not forget to come back later on to get
the DK dirt patches for your multi-colored coins later on (there are two-one in
the room behind the waterfall here and one at the end of the other tunnel).
DIRT PILES in DK ISLES: Inside K.Lumsy’s island, On the way to Angry Aztec,
Above Angry Aztec (need Diddy’s rocket barrels for this), Outside the entrance
to Fungi Forest, Outside Creepy Castle (underneath Lanky’s bonus barrel)-need
Lanky to get this, Behind the waterfall in the very beginning area of the
entire game, and also in this beginning area-at the end of a tunnel. In the
“lobby” of Creepy Castle, use Chunky to move the boulder, then Lanky to balloon
up to the top of the building in the middle.
BATTLE ARENAS: First: In the “lobby” of Fungi Forest, you’ll need to look up
and shoot the floating mushroom light with the Kong that corresponds to
whatever color it is. Shoot it with all the Kongs and the door to a Chunky pad
will open. Stand on it with Chunky and become invisible. This will make the
Battle Arena pad appear on the wooden stack next to the Chunky pad door (the
hardest Battle Arena in the game!). Second: On your way to Frantic Factory (the
long way-also where Diddy gets his 3rd banana in DK Isles), find the vines that
swing across to another platform. Inside will be Snide’s HQ. Use Chunky to pick
up the boulder which is covering the Battle Arena.
3.1 Donkey Kong -DK Isles
Blueprint: DK’s blueprint in DK Isles doesn’t come around until close to the
end of the game. You have to be able to access the entrance to Hideout Helm.
Once in there, you’ll notice there is a coconut switch above the main entrance
to the level. Hit that switch and a bridge will appear from the ground you’re
standing on to the island which has his Kasplat on it.
Golden Banana #1: This is the first Golden Banana you can get. When you start
out at the beginning of DK Isles you will talk to Squawks. The cut scene will
briefly glance at K.Lumsy’s island. Swim over there are talk to him (make sure
to activate the #1 switch on his island while you’re at it). He tells you how
he’s locked up because he didn’t want to smash up an island (ours?). So K.Rool
locked him up until he’s tough (I hardly believe he could ever be a tough guy).
We will then agree to help him out by bringing him keys (obtained by beating
level Boss’s). K.Lumsy will then jump around with happiness (which he’ll do a
lot), opening up the door to our first level, and also giving us our first
golden banana at that entrance! Good job on getting your very first banana!
Golden Banana #2: Use the Gorilla Grab ability in the starting area for Frantic
Factory on the switch. This will activate the elevator nearby. Use the elevator
to get to more Wrinkly Doors and-what’s that?-a Bongo music pad! Play your
Bongos and Squawks will bring you a golden banana. Congrats!
Golden Banana #3: This one is fairly hard to find without a guide. Climb
K.Rool’s boat island thing until you get to an area where you can cross an
opening using vines (these vines lead you to Snide’s HQ). Instead of using the
vines, drop down onto a platform. Once on this platform you will see there is a
Coconut switch. Shoot the switch and the gate will open, giving us a golden
banana. Wahoo!
Golden Banana #4: In the beginning area for Crystal Caves, use Chunky to punch
through the walls on both the left and the right side of this room. Switch to
Donkey Kong and head on over to the left side where you’ll jump into a barrel
to become invincible. Once you’ve done this, head back over to the right side
of the starting room and you can walk through the lava to snatch your well
deserved golden banana.
3.2 Diddy Kong –DK Isles
Blueprint: In the “lobby” of Creepy Castle, (with DK) head over to the DK warp
door and turn around, facing the Wrinkly building in the middle. Shoot the
coconut switch to open the gate to Diddy’s Kasplat and then bring Diddy over to
kill it and grab the blueprint.
Golden Banana #1: First, on the way to Crystal Caves, use Chunky to pick up the
first boulder you come across-revealing a Lanky trombone pad. Go back to the
tag barrel ON DK ISLES or the rock will come back and change to Lanky. Play the
trombone on the pad and Squawks will come down revealing a Diddy rocket barrel
next to the entrance of Fungi Forest. Head up there with Diddy and fly across
the way to the island with the cage and the water fall top. Shoot the peanut
switch to get your banana.
Golden Banana #2: Use the Diddy rocket barrel that Chunky/Lanky gave to us in
the first banana to fly to the very top of DK Isles to find a bonus barrel. You
will play Peril Path Panic and have to save 10 banana fairies in 60 seconds.
Shoot the Klaptraps with the melons (don’t forget to reload) to allow the
banana fairies to cross without getting eaten. A good method is to shoot all 3
on the top and then all 3 on the bottom and keep this up for 60 seconds.
Goodluck!
Golden Banana #3: In the “lobby” of Crystal Caves, use the Diddy rocket barrel
to fly up to his Wrinkly door. There will be a guitar pad right outside of it.
Play your instrument and Squawks will bring you a banana.
Golden Banana #4: On the way to Frantic Factory (the long way), you will notice
some vines swinging. Swing across them and you’ll wind up at Snide’s HQ. Look
in the corner and you’ll see a Simian Spring pad. You will be shot up in to a
bonus barrel for Batty Barrel Bandit. You will have to line up 4 bananas in a
row 3 times in 40 seconds to win. It’s difficult, so if you don’t get it the
first time just keep trying.
3.3 Lanky Kong –DK Isles
Blueprint: Head on over to the “lobby” of Crystal Caves. If you haven’t already
smashed the ice walls on the sides of this room with Chunky, do so now. Go
through the left ice wall and defeat the Kasplat for your blueprint.
Golden Banana #1: On K.Lumsy’s island (don’t go inside to see him), walk around
to the back. Find the grape switch and hit it, unlocking the gate. Ooooh,
Banana!
Golden Banana #2: In the “lobby” of Jungle Japes, use Chunky to pick up the
boulder, revealing a trombone pad. Play your instrument and Squawks will bring
you a banana.
Golden Banana #3: Inside the room where K.Lumsy is caged up, head to the back
and jump into the Orangstand barrel. Run over to the blue switch and all the
way back to the cage which that opened to grab your banana.
Golden Banana #4: In the “lobby” to Creepy Castle, use Chunky to move the
boulder off the balloon pad for Lanky. Balloon up to the top of the building in
the center and into the bonus barrel. Play Searchlight Seek and find 10
klaptraps in 60 seconds to win.
3.4 Tiny Kong –DK Isles
Blueprint: Tiny’s Kasplat is located in the “lobby” of Frantic Factory. Use
Chunky to Primate Punch the box with the question mark on it in the corner.
This will give up Tiny’s Kasplat and a Banana Fairy!
Golden Banana #1: On Banana Fairy Island (warp pad #5), go behind the head. On
the back of the giant head, you will see a cage with a banana in it.
Conveniently located above this cage is a feather switch. Hit the switch and
grab the banana!
Golden Banana #2: Inside the “lobby” of Angry Aztec, use Diddy to Chimpy Charge
the two gongs with his face on them. A Bonus Barrel will appear. Use Tiny to
fly to it from the top of the stairs. You will play Big Bug Bash. You will have
to swat this annoying fly before the time runs out. This one’s more difficult
then the other ones that are planted inside the levels. Swat with B. You will
have 60 seconds to swat this fly 8 times. I will warn you, this Bonus Barrel
had me yelling at Nintendo for a little while the first time I played.
Golden Banana #3: Go to the “lobby” of Gloomy Galleon. Switch to Chunky and
have him slam the Chunky switch in there. Then switch back to Tiny and pony
tail twirl to the mini monkey barrel and go through the now open gate. Jump up
to the platform inside and grab your banana.
Golden Banana #4: Go to the back of K.Rool’s island and use Tiny’s Monkeyport
pad to Monkeyport to the top of the island (on the way to Hideout Helm).
Photograph the banana fairy and play your instrument on the saxophone pad to
get Squawks to bring you a banana. This will also make a Hunky Chunky barrel
appear on the island next to Banana Fairy Island.
Golden Banana #5 (WHAT?!): Yes, it’s true. Tiny Kong actually has a total of 6
Golden Bananas in DK Isles (including the Blueprint). There are actually 201
bananas in the game, and you can complete the game with 101%. This last one is
found by finding and photographing all of the banana fairies. Once completed,
the last banana fairy photographed will tell you you’re done and to head back
to the island with the giant yellow head on it (warp pad #5). Make Tiny mini
and talk to the banana fairy. She will then open up a giant hidden door in her
little palace there and it will reveal the ULTIMATE GOLDEN BANANA with a
Rareware symbol on it. Congratulations! It’s well deserved!
3.5 Chunky Kong –DK Isles
Blueprint: Chunky’s Kasplat is in the “lobby” of Gloomy Galleon right next to
the blue Chunky switch.
Golden Banana #1: This banana is located on DK Isles. Take the #3 warp pad to
the waterfall and walk right toward the Zinger. Look at the wall next to the
waterfall on the right and there will be a pineapple switch. Hit it to reveal
your banana.
Golden Banana #2: On the way to Crystal caves, pick up the second boulder you
come across and reveal a triangle music pad. Play your instrument and Squawks
will bring you a banana.
Golden Banana #3: You will have had to complete Tiny’s 4th banana on DK Isles
to get this one. Head over to the island with the tree on it next to Banana
Fairy Island and jump into the Hunky Chunky barrel which Tiny unlocks for us.
Now, as a large Chunky, head over to the next island over with the white X on
it. Butt-slam it. This will push down the X island and for whatever
unexplainable reason will also blow up a rock on a different part of DK Isles,
leaving us with a banana.
Golden Banana #4: In the “lobby” of Hideout Helm, use the Chunky pad to become
invisible and make the vines appear. Use the vines on the far left to swing
across to the bonus barrel. You will play Kremling Kosh and have to shoot 28
Kremlings in 60 seconds. That’s 1 every 2.14 seconds, and that’s difficult.
Manage to beat this, and get the last banana for DK Isles. Good luck!
0004 Jungle Japes Walkthrough
Jungle Japes is opened when you first bring Donkey Kong to K.Lumsy’s island. He
will jump around and break open the rock which was blocking the entrance to
this area. Head on over (picking up the first golden banana [see DK’s first
banana in DK Isles] on the way). Talk to B.Locker and make him move out of the
way since you have the 1 golden banana required for entry to this level
already. Great! You’re in.
DIRT PILES IN JUNGLE JAPES: At the top of the steep slope on the right side of
the big area (you will need Lanky to walk up here with one of his potions).
BATTLE ARENA: This battle arena is located right outside of Funky’s Armory.
Press Z when standing on the pad and defeat the beavers to win the crown!
4.1 Donkey Kong –Jungle Japes
Regular Bananas: At the start of the level, climb up the first tree and swing
from the vines to collect all the regular bananas they have to offer (5). Land
on the DK switch to open the gate. Grab the three banana medals here. Head to
the left toward the #3 warp pad where you will find 5 more bananas. Then, head
to the right toward the other #3 warp pad and you’ll find 5 more bananas. There
is a balloon floating over the area with the boulder on the blue X. Shoot it
for 10 more. There are 5 more on top of the tree outside of Funky’s. There are
5 more on top of the tree next to the cannon across from Funky’s. Facing the
place where we found Diddy, go left. You will find 3 bananas going down the
first slope. Continue going left and you will find 3 more down the second slope
(the one that leads us to Snide’s). There is also a banana balloon outside of
Snide’s HQ for 10 more. In the tunnel across the water (with the #4 warp pad in
the beginning), you will find 9 bananas on the ground. 10 more will be found
once you get to Cranky’s and find the balloon. 5 more will be found under the
Rambi the Rhino box in the area where Cranky is found. NOTE: the last 5
mentioned are the ones where the BANANA MEDAL is found for this level. In the
same area, there are 5 more bananas on top of the DK switch found by blowing up
the huts around Cranky’s house with Rambi. There are 10 located in the barrel
blast course so make sure you hit them! There are 5 located on top of the tree
next to where we found Diddy. The last 5 are located right outside Troff n’
Scoff’s entrance by vines. When you get the 100th banana you should hear monkey
noises. You’ll come to love this noise. To check on your progress press Start,
then R. Choose DK and you’ll see 100 bananas in the top corner, and 5/5 golden
bananas at the bottom. You’ll also see a check mark on both a blueprint and a
banana medal if you’ve gotten both of them.
Blueprint: From the start of the level, go forward until you get to the big
open area with water infront of you. Go left to the tunnel which you opened
when getting Diddy Kong. DK’s Kasplat will be in there along with 3 banana
coins.
Golden Banana #1: Rescue Diddy! On your way, stop at Funky’s Ammo and pick up
your Coconut Shooter for 3 banana coins. If you need 3 banana coins, there were
three at the beginning of the tunnel and there are also three where the DK
barrel blaster is. To use your Coconut Shooter, press Z + C left. To aim, press
C up. To shoot, press B. Cross the water by using the vines and jump into the
cannon. This will shoot you up to where Diddy Kong is trapped. He will tell you
to stop at Funky’s to get him out (but you already did that, didn’t you? So
you’re ahead of the game!). Also, you will see three coconut switches above
three different doors throughout the level. We will need to find them. Grab the
Golden banana infront of his cage.
Golden Banana #2: Rescue Diddy part II! Once you have the shooter, find the
three coconut switches which were shown to us in the cut scene. The first is to
the right of the beginning of this area, the second is to the left. The third
is across the water. Shoot all three switches to let Diddy out of his cage! The
best way to shoot the one over the water is to stand on the platform where
Funky’s Armory is located and look down at the switch. As a result of shooting
all three switches, Diddy will be freed and will leave a golden banana in his
cage. He will remain in the tag barrel until you need him. Note that he
collects red bananas while DK collects yellow. Each Kong has a different color.
Getting this banana will open up the three doors under the switches you just
shot.
Golden Banana #3: As Donkey Kong, you should go through one of the tunnels
which you opened with the 2nd golden banana. Specifically, the one across the
water with the #4 warp pad in the beginning. Go down that tunnel collecting the
yellow bananas and you will eventually come to an area where Cranky is located.
Go past Cranky’s and you will come to a gate which can be opened by the Coconut
gun. Shoot the switch and become Rambi the Rhino (don’t forget the bananas and
3 banana coins because these 5 bananas also provide you with your BANANA
MEDAL!). As Rambi, you should go to the huts located around this room. When
near them, press B to smash them. Once done with that, take Rambi back into the
tunnel and take the FIRST left! You will see a wall with Rambi’s face on it.
Press Z + B to charge attack the wall, smashing it open! To return back to
normal, press Z + C left. Go back to the hut you smashed which had a switch for
Donkey Kong under it. Slam the switch. Luckily, you will not be timed on
getting this banana. It is located in the beginning of the area. I strongly
suggest using the #4 warp pad to get from Cranky’s to the water area so you
don’t have to go through the tunnels again. Grab the Banana.
Golden Banana #4: Make a visit to Cranky’s for the Baboon Blast potion for 3
banana coins. Now you can play the Barrel Blast games. Press Z when standing on
a pad with DK’s face on it and you will be shot to the Blast course. The one
for this level is located above the blue X area with the boulder on it. You
have to go to the tree near by and climb it. Swing across the vines to find the
pad and press Z. Beat this course and win a banana. Don’t forget to pick up the
three banana coins located around the blast pad.
4.2 Diddy Kong –Jungle Japes
Regular Bananas: From the very beginning of the level (when you first enter the
DK warp entrance), go forward on ground. You will pick up 5 regular bananas
here. Keep going forward until you get to the main level. Climb the tree
directly infront of you for 5 more. Go left to the next tree for 5 more. Then,
go right (across the water) and climb the two trees in this area
