King of Cling

Head right, jump up, and grab on to a grassy overhang to get across a pit of spikes. Jump up onto a stone block and from there onto a platform. Grab and throw a DK Barrel to get Diddy Kong. Jump to the right to get the K KONG letter.

From the same platform where you picked up Diddy Kong, hover-jump to the right, past where you got the K KONG letter. Hover right into a tree to reveal a hidden area where you can find the first Puzzle Piece. If you don’t want to use Diddy Kong, you can also roll off the platform and then jump while in midair to get into the hidden area.

As you continue to the right, you come to a large wheel with a grassy edge. Jump and grab on to the wheel. Use it to get onto the platform to the left. Jump across to another platform and then up into a tree to the left. There you will find another hidden area that contains a Puzzle Piece.

Move to the right from the large wheel. When you reach a platform situated over a spike pit, hover-jump off the right side and move into a tree to find yet another hidden area. Collect the Puzzle Piece and then drop back to ground level.

You will come across a set of two bridges. After clearing off the blue Awks, pound the gourd in between the two bridges to reveal a barrel. Jump up into the barrel, and you will be shot across to an area in the background. Jump up and grab on to one of the wheels. Climb to its top so you can jump across to collect the O KONG letter.

While still holding on to one of the wheels in the background area, jump up and grab on to the grassy bottom of the large rock over the waterfall. Climb to the rock’s top and jump into another barrel. It will shoot you up into a bonus area. Jump out onto a springy platform. Use this to jump high to grab all of the bananas and coins spinning around in the air. Collect all the goodies in the time limit and you will earn another Puzzle Piece.

Once back in the main part of the level, continue to the right and use a flower platform to jump up and grab on to a grassy overhang. There is a giant Chomp below that rises up and tries to bite you. Wait until it rises, then move quickly across. Pound the gourd right above the Chomp to get another Puzzle Piece; then move out of the way so you don’t get bitten.

After passing the checkpoint, the level will go vertical. To get up, you must hold on to and climb the grassy parts of the walls. Some of the wheels in this area have grass on only part of their circumference, so you must hold on and ride them to a spot where you can jump to the next grassy surface. As you climb up the grassy walls and wheels, look for a gourd on an alcove off to the right. Jump over to the alcove and move into the rock to find a hidden area with a Puzzle Piece to add to your collection.

Keep heading up the level. When you reach the two moving wheels, climb onto them and make your way to the grassy wall on the area’s right side. At the lower end of this wall, you will find the N KONG letter. The easiest way to reach it is to head to the top flower platform and then drop down its right side. After you have the N KONG letter, continue climbing up.

You reach a flower platform that is waiting to help you access yet another wheel. However, before you jump, move past the flower platform and to the right through a rock to find another hidden area, which contains the final Puzzle Piece.

Continue up the level to a series of flower platforms. A couple Tiki Zings move back and forth across two of these platforms. Time your jumps to get over them, and grab the G KONG letter over a flower platform along the right side. Once you have it, jump your way up to the Slot-Machine Barrel to complete the level.
