Make your way into the ruins and across one waterwheel to a DK Barrel. Hold on to it for now. Get onto the large second wheel and ride it around until you see a bag hanging off to the right. Throw the barrel at the bag to release a Puzzle Piece. Jump down to claim it.
Jump onto a grassy layer and climb past leaping Nibbles. Drop onto a K KONG letter and then quickly get off the platform before it falls down. Get back up onto the grassy layer and climb to the right.
After dropping onto solid ground, pound the leafy area to break though a trapdoor and find another Puzzle Piece.
Get across a waterwheel to a stone platform, and pound the area near a container to get yet another Puzzle Piece.
Jump across a small waterwheel and land on a platform where a Screaming Pillar falls down. Pound the block to get the next Puzzle Piece.
Jump across to the next small waterwheel. The O KONG letter is right in the middle. As you ride underneath it, jump up and grab the letter before jumping on to the next platform on the right.
Jump across to a fast spinning waterwheel and drop to the platform beneath it. Blow on the dandelion to get a Puzzle Piece.
Continue past the checkpoint and then drop to a lower platform. Jump across to the right and grab on to a grassy layer. Climb along it to the right to enter a bonus area. Collect all of the coins and bananas to earn a Puzzle Piece.
After exiting the bonus area, jump to a higher platform to get a DK Barrel and then move right. Drop onto a lower platform at the end and blow on a windmill to raise a platform in the background. This platform has a Puzzle Piece on it. After shooting yourself out of the barrel, you land on a collapsing platform. As soon as you land, run to the left and hover-jump across to the Puzzle Piece. Then pound the container to reveal a barrel that will shoot you across to the next platform on the right.
As you encounter some large waterwheels again, pick up a barrel and carry it across to the last one. Throw it at a bag near the wheel’s top to release a Puzzle Piece.
Now you can get the N KONG letter after riding one of the waterwheel platforms to the top right. Grab the letter as you jump across to a barrel, which then shoots you across to some solid platforms.
Grab on to a grassy layer and climb to the right to get the G KONG letter. Watch out for the Stilts patrolling this area, and don’t fall down onto the spikes on the floor.
Right below the G KONG letter, pound the trapdoor to enter a bonus area. Here you have to shoot from barrel to barrel to collect all the items so you can earn the last Puzzle Piece.
