Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D Guide › Level Walkthroughs › World 2

Pinchin' Pirates

Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong have reached the end of the beach world. There they see Cap’n Greenbeard and his Scurvy Crew enjoying some bananas.

However, the Tikis have something else in mind. They make their music and possess the pirates in order to destroy you.

First you must defeat each pirate individually. If their claws are not up, jump on them to get them to raise their claws. Then pound the ground near them to flip them over. Jump on the upside-down pirate to defeat it.

Repeat this tactic with the other two pirates. Be careful not to jump on them when their claws are up, or you will lose a heart.

The second round forces you to fight against all three pirates at once. They will stack on top of one another. Jump up onto a platform to one side of the area, and as they come toward you, jump over them. Wait until they all raise their claws and then roll into them to knock them down.

All three pirates will go facedown in the sand. Quickly jump on all three before any of them can get up.

You now have to go through the Scurvy Crew and Cap’n Greenbeard individually again. This time they are moving faster and are more likely to lift their claws, so be careful when jumping on them.

The toughest part is when you face all three again. They move faster toward you, so you must be quick to jump over them.

After you knock them down, start at one end and quickly jump on each in turn before any of them can get up. This can be difficult, so you may have to try it a few times to get the timing right.

After you knock out the pirates, run and hit the Tikis to complete this boss battle.
