Complete Donkey Kong 64 Part 21 walkthrough: Learn how to get Golden Bananas, find Chunky Kong's abilities, and master the Stash Snatch mini-game.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    First, you'll need to complete a challenge involving beavers and a circle. Position yourself so the beavers are between you and the circle. Spiral around the hole while tapping B to scare the beavers tangentially. If a beaver moves away from the circle, stop tapping B until you reposition. Be quick to beat the timer. Try to scare multiple beavers at once. Falling into the pit means starting over.
  2. 2
    After completing the beaver challenge, you'll earn a GOLDEN BANANA (3). Use Bananaport #1, then Bananaport #2 to return to the R&D room.
  3. 3
    Use the Tag barrel to switch to Chunky Kong. Squawks will inform you of five Golden Bananas for Chunky.
  4. 4
    Climb the ladder in the R&D room to the upper level. Go past the Kasplat to the second grate you opened and collect four coins (14).
  5. 5
    Return to the lower level and go through the door opposite the Tag Barrel. Climb down the pole, go through the auto-door, and head left.
  6. 6
    Use the left and right top-spitting blocks to collect two coins (16). Continue around the giant block stack and use the middle and right blocks in the next group for two more coins (18).
  7. 7
    Continue around and defeat the Kasplat to obtain a BLUEPRINT (3).
  8. 8
    Proceed to Funky's area by using the block in the corner. Enter the armory and purchase the pineapple launcher for three coins (15).
  9. 9
    Use Bananaport #5 to return to the DK Arcade room. Exit the tunnel and descend the pole to Tiny's Kasplat.
  10. 10
    Quickly turn and backflip up the boxes. Go through the tunnel and enter Cranky's lab.
  11. 11
    Purchase the Hunky Chunky potion for three coins (12). This allows Chunky to grow to a large size, enabling him to smash objects.
  12. 12
    Purchase the super-powerful punch potion for five coins (7). This allows Chunky to perform a powerful punch by holding Z and pressing B.
  13. 13
    Exit Cranky's lab and enter Candy's shop. Purchase the Triangle Trample for three coins (4).
  14. 14
    Head back through the tunnel and drop down the boxes. Climb the pole near the purple Kasplat again.
  15. 15
    Go through the tunnel past the DK arcade and smash the gate ahead with your Primate Punch.
  16. 16
    Collect three coins (7) and enter the Bonus Barrel.
  17. 17
    Stash Snatch Mini-Game: Navigate a maze to collect six coins within 60 seconds and reach the checkered flag. Ignore enemies. The ASCII map provided shows the coin locations (C) and the checkered flag (####).
  18. 18
    After completing Stash Snatch, you'll earn a GOLDEN BANANA (1).
  19. 19
    Return to the box room. Head to the corner under the pipe to collect a banana bunch (5) and coins (12) on Bananaport #1.
  20. 20
    Go to the side of the room opposite the box stack and find a gate. Primate Punch it open.
  21. 21
    Inside, use the shockwave near the DK pile at the start to unearth a RAINBOW COIN (38, 34, 27, 24, 17).
  22. 22
    Go to the upper-right corner of the room and smash the ? box with a Simian Slam to find a Chunky switch. Slam the switch to break a box on a ledge, revealing a Golden Banana.
  23. 23
    Head to the center of the back wall and Primate Punch the Chunky button to turn on the lights and activate moving platforms.
  24. 24
    Jump up the moving platforms, timing your jumps at their peak to reach the next. Collect banana bunches (20) along the way. Jump over to the GOLDEN BANANA (2).
  25. 25
    Return to the box room. Head through the tunnel to the production room.
