Walkthrough for Part 19 of Donkey Kong Country Returns, covering Rickety Rails and Grip & Trip levels. Find all puzzle pieces and collectibles.
Walkthrough
- 1Rickety Rails: Start by using the barrel cannon to fire into the background. Jump into a hole in the tree on the left to get the first puzzle piece. The large yellow bulb contains a barrel cannon that leads to a dynamite plunger; ground-pound it to reveal a cave entrance. For the second puzzle piece, go back to the background using a barrel cannon and head right. Ignore the rising platforms and walk through the right wall to find the piece. The 'K' is found by following banana trails. The third puzzle piece is in a bonus area below the checkpoint, accessible from the right. For the 'O', jump across platforms to the next mine cart, waiting as long as possible on the first jump. The 'N' is above a temporary platform after some tilting track; grab it quickly before hopping into the barrel cannon. After another mine cart section and blast barrels, you'll fall through wooden platforms. Stay put upon landing to fall into a blast barrel leading to a bonus area. After the bonus, use the barrel cannon to find the fifth puzzle piece; jump slightly late on the second cart ride to grab it. The 'G' is obtained by jumping into a blast barrel on the next mine cart.
- 2Grip & Trip: Start by heading right into more mine cart sections. At the beginning, take the top path for the first puzzle piece.
Tips
