Complete guide to Part 38 of Donkey Kong Country Returns, including banana coin locations, puzzle pieces, and strategies for the Golden Temple.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    On the first floating stone platform, ground-pound the vase on the bottom to reveal a puzzle piece.
  2. 2
    When you reach an area with two sets of blueberry platforms, take the lower path to collect bananas, then loop back on the upper path. Collect all bananas on the upper path to make a puzzle piece appear on a strawberry.
  3. 3
    Further right, collect all bananas from the two concentric, spinning circles. A puzzle piece will appear above the platform; jump to it from the stem.
  4. 4
    After several cherry platforms, jump between three strawberries, collecting falling banana bunches while avoiding tiki seekers. A puzzle piece will appear on the middle strawberry.
  5. 5
    Continue right past falling oranges to swinging banana platforms. The last platform holds the final puzzle piece.
Tips
  • Collect banana coins by timing your movements with the rotating outside of the room and avoiding the buzzbites spinning on the inside track.
  • Dodge boulders that fly in from the background. The banana coin is in the gap between platforms. If missed, the boulder arrangement repeats. To dodge the fifth set of boulders, jump through the two groups of boulders between the platforms.
  • Upon jumping on most banana platforms, a string of bananas will fly in from the top. Grab them all to get a banana coin.
  • Purple kowalees throw bombs; throw them back to defeat them.
  • Cherry platforms explode after you step on them, so be quick.
  • After collecting all five puzzle pieces, break the exit barrel in the circle of barrel cannons to unlock Mirror Mode.
  • Mirror Mode is the game's hard mode: levels are reversed, Diddy Kong is unavailable, and Donkey Kong only has one heart. Completing all levels in Mirror Mode brings game completion to 200%.
