Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D eGuide Level Walkthroughs World 1

Platform Panic

This level is tough, because as soon as you touch a platform block, it will start to shake and then fall away. In addition, the blocks do not appear and drop into place until you advance. Therefore, you need to keep moving, and you have to decide what to do without much time to think ahead.

The first Puzzle Piece is floating high up in the air. To get it, bounce off of a Tiki Doom and then make your way across some Tiki Buzzes to get high enough to get the Puzzle Piece. Then drop down onto the next platform and prepare to dodge Tiki Zings.

Within the level, you find blocks with golden tires on them. Jump on these tires for extra height when you jump. Like all of the blocks in this level, they will fall away shortly after you touch them, so you get one good jump on each.

When you reach these alcoves, you can take a break. The platforms here do not drop. Pound the container here and get the second Puzzle Piece.

The next Puzzle Piece is located under a platform. However, if you jump on the platforms above the Puzzle Piece, the platforms will drop away. Therefore, stand on the platform to the left of the Puzzle Piece. As it falls down, jump across to the Puzzle Piece while staying under the upper platform. Quickly move right so you don’t fall with the blocks.

This Puzzle Piece is tough to get. If you are fast, you can jump off the golden tire to get the Puzzle Piece; then drop back onto it to jump again to the next tire before the first falls away. Another way to get it is to jump up the row of Tiki Buzzes to the left of this spot. Get on top of the block to the Puzzle Piece’s left. As it drops, jump across to get the Puzzle Piece and land on the tire.

As you cross over these Tiki Buzzes, jump onto each one. After you hit the third one, you will get a coin every time you hit an additional one. Plus, if you get them all, you are rewarded with a balloon.

One of the most dangerous parts of this level are the spikes. At this spot, you must jump off a Tiki Buzz to get up to the ledge; do not jump too high or you will hit the spikes.

The last Puzzle Piece requires you to jump off a golden tire. Get the Puzzle Piece and then jump off the Tiki Buzz directly beneath it. Use it to bounce across to the Tiki Buzzes to the right and from there to the next platform.

At the level’s end, walk toward the org and you will add it to your collection. There are eight orgs that you can collect. Finish the remaining seven temple levels to complete your collection.
