Complete Part 47 of Donkey Kong 64, including the beetle race, Mad Maze Maul, and getting Golden Bananas.

Use a Lanky pad (a special platform that allows Lanky Kong to inflate and float) to reach the top of the castle. Float up and use another Lanky pad to drop into a hole in the tower to collect a banana bunch (35). Prepare for a race against a beetle where you must collect 50 coins.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    At the start, jump into the Lanky barrel and quickly cancel Squawk's (a parrot that provides information) info. Head through the hallway, collecting coins (5).
  2. 2
    A door opens at the end of the hall. Go through a few doors, collecting more coins (10).
  3. 3
    Drop into the pit at the end. Collect coins (18) as you slide through the tunnel.
  4. 4
    Navigate around the huge ledge in the pillar room, collecting coins (24).
  5. 5
    Slide over the gap at the end of the drop into the lava pit, collecting coins (27).
  6. 6
    Collect more coins (32) as you head through the tunnel. A door opens, initiating a running segment.
  7. 7
    Head through the hallway as doors open, collecting coins (36).
  8. 8
    Go down another slide above a lava pit. Collect coins as you jump the gap, then slide left or right for an extra three coins (42).
  9. 9
    Slide to the middle path to reach the next section. Collect two coins (44) as you slide through the tunnel.
  10. 10
    Prepare for a slide section with no ledges; be careful not to fall off.
  11. 11
    Collect three coins (47) along the purple path. Take a left at the fork for the most coins (55), then a right.
  12. 12
    Continue collecting coins, focusing on speed. Head down the brownish path to two forks. Take a right, then a left for the most coins, leading to the final sprint.
  13. 13
    Jump, whack the beetle, and do whatever is necessary to win the race. Upon winning, you will receive a GOLDEN BANANA (2).
  14. 14
    Drop to the ledge below and use the Tag Barrel (a barrel that allows you to switch to another Kong) to switch to Diddy Kong.
  15. 15
    Facing away from the ice castle, look left to find Funky's armory. Head there, going up ledges, and collect five bananas (5) on the bridge.
  16. 16
    Enter the Diddy barrel and fly to the waterfall left of Funky's place. Near the top, find a banana bunch (10) and a Bonus Barrel.
  17. 17
    Hover down to get your GOLDEN BANANA (1).
  18. 18
    Turn around and fly over the bridge where Funky's is. On the other side of the river from the waterfall, there is a big pillar with a blue Kasplat near the Diddy barrel. Land on it and immediately play your instrument before being knocked off, then activate BANANAPORT #5 (a teleportation device).
  19. 19
    Drop to the Funky bridge, hop back into the Diddy barrel, fly through the waterfall, and land to your left. Candy's shop should be ahead.
  20. 20
    Enter Candy's shop and pay seven coins to get a third melon. You will receive 20 (instead of 15) health points.

Mad Maze Maul

This mini-game has a difficulty of 3.5/10. The objective is to kill all enemies in the maze and reach the checkered flag within 60 seconds. An enemy counter is displayed on the HUD (Heads-Up Display, showing game information). To defeat Kasplats, hit them with a moving attack, charge up a shockwave, and release it as they are about to stand up. Kritters can be defeated with regular attacks.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    From the START, kill the first Kasplat.
  2. 2
    Head left and take out another Kasplat.
  3. 3
    Go back and take a right. Turn the corner and defeat a Kritter.
  4. 4
    Continue to kill a Kasplat.
  5. 5
    Take the left path and head around a few turns to kill a Kritter.
  6. 6
    At a fork, take the right path and kill a Kasplat.
  7. 7
    Go back and take the remaining path to kill the last Kasplat.
  8. 8
    Head to the checkered flag (marked as ##### on the map).
Tips
  • Use your shockwave attack to defeat Kasplats quickly, as regular attacks are too slow.
  • Concentrate on speed during the beetle race after collecting the initial coins.
  • Pay close attention to the slide sections with no ledges to avoid falling.
  • GOLDEN BANANA (2) for winning the beetle race.
  • GOLDEN BANANA (1) after hovering down from the pillar.
  • Third melon (increases health) from Candy's shop for seven coins.
