Walkthrough for Part 20 of Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, covering levels Frantic Fields and Scorching Torch, with collectible locations and strategies.
Walkthrough:
Frantic Fields
- Use tuff tucks to carry a character to a wooden wall to open a bonus area for a puzzle piece. Use flower platforms to reach the Kong barrel at the top-left.
- Ground-pound the wooden platform to reach checkpoint #1.
- Continue to the next flower platform. Run down to grab bananas while the path is clear of spiky fruit, then jump back up.
- Pull the handle on the ground to collect bananas and get a puzzle piece.
- Roll-jump under the stone platform to grab the Dixie barrel. Use Dixie's helicopter spin to reach the top of the stone platform for a puzzle piece.
- Grab the 'N' above a hot hootz after a barrel cannon by sliding down the vine.
- Reach checkpoint #2.
- Defeat the buffaloafer by luring it into a wall and jumping on its belly three times to collect items and use a handle.
- Jump on flower platforms in front of waterfalls as banana bunches descend to collect them all for a puzzle piece. Consider Cranky for some items.
- Ground-pound a bulb flower under a stone platform for bananas and a puzzle piece.
- After blasting into the background, run right away from rolling fruit, collecting items for a puzzle piece on a climbable wall. Prioritize the puzzle piece over the 'G' at the end of the section.
Scorching Torch
- Tornados provide upward boosts. Use them to collect items at the beginning.
- Ground-pound the left side of the wooden platform under the second tornado to enter an area with a Diddy barrel.
- Break open a Rambi crate, backtrack to the Rambi stone, and break it to unearth a bonus area for a puzzle piece.
- Continue with Rambi. Break the Rambi stone at the bottom of the stage for banana coins and a puzzle piece.
- Use a tornado's lift to get the 'K' over the cacti.
- A bulb flower will start lightning. Watch for blue streaks.
- Jump to the 'O' floating above a wooden platform when it's at its highest.
- Reach checkpoint #1.
- Watch out for pointy tucks and burning porcupals thrown from the background.
- Pull the handle on the hill between enemy attacks to get a puzzle piece.

- After a barrel cannon, run from a gigantic tornado over rickety platforms.
- Use a barrel cannon to reach checkpoint #2.
- Jump left to a Rambi crate and a puzzle piece.
- Use a blast barrel overhead to reach a bonus area for a puzzle piece. Watch for a buffaloafer on a grassy platform.
- If Rambi is kept to the end, navigate cacti for the 'G'. Otherwise, use roll-jump or ponytail twirl, or take a hit.
- Dodge lightning strikes and wait for the platform in front of the slot barrel to come down to finish the level. Hit the slot barrel before lightning strikes.
