Walkthrough: Mountain Mania

1. Start by heading right. After the Dixie barrel, use Rambi (released from a ground-pounded crate) to break a stone block, revealing a hidden area with a puzzle piece.
2. Ahead, find the K by jumping on top of a 2x2 stack of Rambi blocks. Break the blocks to reveal a wooden platform; ground-pound it to enter a bonus area. Collect all bananas for a puzzle piece.
3. Continue right to a pair of wooden pillars over spikes. Collect the appearing bananas on the first pillar for a puzzle piece.
4. Checkpoint #1.
5. After some belltowers, a swinging platform has the O above it.
6. Ascend wooden platforms to three belltowers. The third bell contains a puzzle piece.
7. Checkpoint #2.
8. Be cautious of falling fireballs.
9. At the end of a wooden bridge, ground-pound a mug for a puzzle piece.
10. On the next bridge, the N is over a gap, followed by a life balloon.
11. On swinging platforms, collect all items to make a puzzle piece appear on the next platform.
12. After a walbrick, ground-pound another mug, then collect all bananas for a puzzle piece.
13. Checkpoint #3.
14. Traverse swinging platforms by jumping from the bottom right to the top left.
15. In the next section with falling platforms, use Rambi to stay afloat.
16. Look for a platform with a background and a Chester. The G is above it; jump to grab it.

Walkthrough: Horn Top Hop

1. Almost immediately, grab a bag above the pathway by using leaf platforms to pull a barrel and throw it. This bag contains a puzzle piece.
2. The stage rhythm is important; pay attention to the music.
3. The K is inside a wind gust from a large horn. Jump in to grab it.
4. Follow a climbable ceiling up and left to find a puzzle piece.
5. Checkpoint #1.
6. The O is between leaf platforms. Jump on a hot hootz to get it, ensuring it's not on fire.
7. A hidden area with bananas is above a leaf pile.
8. After a puffton, a platform inside stone to the right leads to a bonus area. Collect all bananas for a puzzle piece.
9. Checkpoint #2.
10. Avoid pointy tucks coming from pipes.
11. The N is above a tuffton on climbable ceilings. Bounce off the tuffton to get it.
12. Checkpoint #3.
13. Under the left pile, a horn alternates between a pointy tuck and a puzzle piece.
14. In the next area with three horns, the center one alternates. Jump off the tucks to get the G above.
15. The slot barrel at the end of a barrel cannon section is a false ending; blast into the pipe.
16. In the next area, avoid blue hootz as platforms alternate between pushing you up and letting you fall.
17. Early in this area, collect bananas around a large, circular climbable platform while avoiding a lemmington to make a puzzle piece appear above it.
18. Continue ascending; at the top, grab climbable walls as the slot barrel is pushed in and out of the pipe by wind.
