Walkthrough
  1. 1
    At the start, collect the banana bunch (15) on the puzzle. Match letters to pictures. Pound the red square, then pound the left switch to rotate the room. Hit the red square, then hit the two yellow squares. Slam the blue square, then pound the right switch to return to Side B. Slam the blue square, then pound the green square and hit the right switch to go to Side C. Hit the green square, then hit the two purple squares, followed by the orange one. Slam the switch on the left and hit the orange square for your GOLDEN BANANA (2).
  2. 2
    Pound the left switch for Side A and use the Battle Arena Pad.
  3. 3
    Enter Battle Arena #6 - Plinth Panic. This is Kamikaze Kremlings with a new name, battling a Kritter and two Kasplats. Head to the edge, then use a move attack, holding B to charge your shockwave. Release B to incinerate all enemies. Kill the Kritter first, then charge your shockwave for the two Kasplats. After surviving for 60 seconds, backflip for your BATTLE ARENA CROWN (6).
  4. 4
    Leave the cabin (you appear on Side B). Head back to the Tag Barrel and switch to Lanky Kong.
  5. 5
    Cross the plank near the Tag Barrel to another cabin. Stand on the edge of the ledge with the cabin and use your shooter to look down at the waterfall; a balloon (45) is floating near the bottom.
  6. 6
    Head to the right side of the cabin to find a Lanky pad. Float up to the top of the cabin and go to a trombone pad. Get the bunch (50) and play your instrument, then drop down and enter the cabin.
  7. 7
    Go forward and kill the Koshas with a shockwave, then inflate yourself and float up to a Lanky barrel.
  8. 8
    Head to the end of the room, avoiding another Kosha, and step on the switch, grabbing the banana bunch (55). The pad at the start of the room opens to reveal a banana for 3 seconds. Dash back and grab the GOLDEN BANANA (3), then leave the cabin.
  9. 9
    Drop down to the waterfall from the cabin. Dive under and swim through the river, getting the bananas (65). The trail ends at the waterfall, so turn around and jump to the huge cabin area on the left.
  10. 10
    Use the boxes on the side of the cabin to climb to the top level. Use Bananaport #5 to teleport. Kill the Kasplat that appears.
  11. 11
    Get the four banana bunches (85), earning you a BANANA MEDAL (1), and teleport back.
  12. 12
    Head down and use the Tag Barrel to switch to Chunky Kong. Go to the west end of the level and backflip up the ledges.
  13. 13
    Head to Bananaport #2 and get the banana bunch (38), then teleport. You'll get another bunch (43) automatically.
  14. 14
    Head back towards the DK Portal and kill the Kritter. Punch the ice block on your right. Head through the new path and get the three bananas (46), then get the banana bunch on the pad (51) at the end and press Z to become invisible. You'll then see a GOLDEN BANANA (2).
  15. 15
    Head back to Bananaports #1-2 and switch to Donkey Kong. Grab the banana bunch (20) on Bananaport #1.
  16. 16
    Go to where you got the invisible Golden Banana and shoot the balloon (30) in that area.
  17. 17
    Head back to the ports and switch to Lanky. Go right and ignore the Kosha. Orangstand up the slope.
  18. 18
    Switch to Chunky at Cranky's Lab. Head across the bridge from Cranky's and Primate Punch the ice block at the end.
  19. 19
    Follow the new path into a room with a boulder. Get the six bananas (57) around it. Use the Chunky barrel to become huge. Pick up the boulder, then get the bunch (62) under it. Time your press of Z so Chunky places it on the moving boulder switch. An igloo holding a Tiny pad and a Golden Banana will explode.
  20. 20
    Head back to Cranky's and switch to Donkey Kong. Walk across the bridge to a Donkey pad. Get the five bananas (35), then press Z for the next blasting course. Shoot to the barrel with the banana bunch (40). After a couple linear shots, you'll be auto-blasted. After another shot, blast into a barrel with a coin above it. After a couple more shots, one with a coin, blast into the barrel with a banana bunch (45). After a few more shots, one with a coin, you'll be auto-blasted. Shoot into another banana bunch barrel (50). Shoot linearly twice, get auto-blasted, and shoot again for a banana bunch (55). At the next fork, take the left path. Take a couple more linear shots to a Bonus Barrel.
  21. 21
    Enter the Busy Barrel Barrage bonus game. Baddies will come at you in the center, and you must shoot them constantly. There are three to start, but they regenerate at irregular times. Shoot them as they come. If you get hit by even one, you lose. Survive for 60 seconds. Aim in circles.
Tips
  • In Plinth Panic, focus on eliminating the Kritter first as it seems to regenerate faster.
  • When collecting the Golden Banana in the cabin as Lanky, be quick to grab it once the pad reveals it.
  • For the Busy Barrel Barrage, maintaining a circular aiming pattern can help cover (press the cover button to crouch behind walls or objects) all incoming enemies.
