Complete walkthrough for Part 43 of Donkey Kong 64, covering boss fights, collectible locations, and battle arenas to help you find all Golden Bananas and rewards.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    To defeat the spider boss, lure the spiders near the web's center, charge a shockwave (hold B), and release it when they are close. Dodge goo, then shoot the boss's eyes with your shooter when they open. Repeat this five times to defeat the boss and earn a GOLDEN BANANA (3).
  2. 2
    Find the exit and head towards the Tiny barrel. Shrink and go through the tiny hole. Face the river, use Ponytail Twirl across, and turn right. Continue until you reach a Tag Barrel, switch to Lanky Kong, cross the river, and head to the Tiny barrel.
  3. 3
    Climb the rope Diddy pulled for three bananas (76) to earn a BANANA MEDAL (3). Drop off the rope, go around the barn to Bananaport #1. Go past it to find a Lanky pad. Press Z to float up for a banana bunch (81). Land on the roof, collect four bananas (85), then use Orangstand to walk along the roof to an entrance. Get the banana bunch (90) inside.
  4. 4
    Head forward to a crate with a banana bunch (95). If low on ammo, grab some homing ammo. Slam the Lanky switch in the center to spawn attacking bats. Shoot them when the crosshair is green. Once all bats are defeated, you'll earn a GOLDEN BANANA (3). Leave the attic, drop down, and use Bananaport #1 to warp to the start.
  5. 5
    You'll automatically get a banana bunch (100). Head to Bananaport #3 and teleport. Cross the river, head right to the Tag Barrel, switch to Chunky Kong, and use Bananaport #5 to reach the top of the mushroom.
  6. 6
    Go right around the mushroom, past the Troff n' Scoff Portal. Pound the Chunky switch to open a door and enter. Shoot the Zinger, then shoot the balloon (39). Get the banana bunch (44) on the switch, then slam the switch to start a 60-second timer. A puzzle appears where you must shoot numbered squares to rotate Chunky's face back to normal. The solution is: Square 1 (1 shot), Square 2 (3 shots), Square 3 (0 shots), Square 4 (3 shots), Square 5 (2 shots), Square 6 (3 shots), Square 7 (0 shots), Square 8 (3 shots), Square 9 (1 shot). Solving the puzzle earns a GOLDEN BANANA (4). Leave the room, backtrack to the Troff n' Scoff Portal, and climb down the ladder to find the Battle Arena Pad.
  7. 7
    Battle Arena #5 - Kamikaze Kremlings (Difficulty: 4.5/10): Face two Kasplats and a Kritter. Kill the Kritter first, then charge a shockwave to defeat the Kasplats. Stay near the center to avoid being knocked off. Repeat this pattern for 60 seconds to earn the BATTLE ARENA CROWN (5).
  8. 8
    Collect the banana bunch (49) in front of you. Head left, climb down a ladder for three bananas (52), continue, jump gaps, and climb another ladder for three bananas (55). Swing across a vine, continue to the bottom, climb down a ladder with bananas (58), and keep going. Swing across vines to a banana bunch (63) and exit.
  9. 9
    Kill the Kasplat for a BLUEPRINT (5) and shoot the balloon (73).
  10. 10
    Head back into the mushroom, swing across vines, and head left. Cross gaps, descend a ladder for bananas (76) to earn a BANANA MEDAL (4). Head the other way, jump a gap, grab a banana bunch (81). At the end, climb a ladder with bananas (84). Jump off to a small platform below, jump the right gap, and continue past a ladder. Grab a banana bunch (89) by the exit. Go back and climb down the ladder for more bananas (92). Grab the nearby banana bunch (97), then continue to a ladder with Chunky's final bananas (100). Drop to the bottom of the mushroom, use the Tag Barrel to switch to Diddy Kong, and leave the mushroom.
  11. 11
    Take Bananaport #3, head right, and grab the banana bunch (70) on Bananaport #4. Use it to teleport, earning another banana bunch (75) and a BANANA MEDAL (5). Go around the big tree for bananas (85). Play your instrument on the guitar pad behind the tree to wake up an owl. To get the owl to speak, you need wings. Jump into the jetbarrel above the dirt patch opposite the rabbit and fly to the owl above the music pad. He challenges you to a two-lap course around the tree. Fly through all the required rings.
