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

Wonky Waterway

Right at the start, move forward and get the DK Barrel so you can have Diddy Kong help you. Then head back to the left. Hover-jump off the pier and fly to the left to find another pier with a Puzzle Piece on it. Hover-jump back to the right and continue on.

As you approach a round DK platform, you see the K block hovering over it. You will need to use the Tiki Buzzes to reach it. Jump onto the one closest to the letter and then immediately jump off of it to reach the K block. Next, pound the DK platform to open up the ruins, and enter them.

When you reach the spot where Screaming Pillars are falling down, blow out three candles lined up in a row. A statue head will lower. Jump up and grab on to the vine dangling beneath the head. This releases bananas, a coin, and a Puzzle Piece.

When you get to another statue head, pull on the vine to cause a platform to extend out. Quickly jump onto it and then jump up to grab on to a grassy layer before the platform retracts. Head to the left and jump into a barrel to access a bonus area. Jump across to small platforms in order to collect lots of bananas, two coins, and a balloon. Once it is clear, you get a Puzzle Piece.

Get back onto the grassy layer and climb to the right. This time you get the O KONG letter. Afterward, jump across to the checkpoint.

After moving past the checkpoint, watch out for some statues that fall down. Pound on the second one to get a Puzzle Piece.

As you continue to the right, go past a statue head and drop into a lower area to pick up a Puzzle Piece. Then jump up and pull on the vine to lower the stone so you can advance to the right.

You reach an area where you must jump across unstable rocky platforms that collapse soon after you touch them. After shooting out of a barrel, quickly get over the Tiki Zings and pick up the N KONG letter.

When back on solid ground, blow out the flame of the blue Tiki Bomber and pound the ground by the container to get another Puzzle Piece.

Just to the right, pound the stone blocks from the fallen Screaming Pillars to get the G KONG letter and spell out K-O-N-G. It is easiest to wait for the Screaming Pillar to fall and then pound to get the letter.

When you reach the Slot-Machine Barrel, hover-jump past it to an area offscreen. Pull on the vine to open a stone mouth, and the last Puzzle Piece will come shooting out. Grab it, then return to the Slot-Machine Barrel and hit it to complete the level.
