At the start of this level, get the DK Barrel and then jump down off the left edge where you see a banana. You will then drop into a barrel and shoot across to the right under the platforms to get lots of bananas and a Puzzle Piece before shooting back up to the platform.
Head left along the platform until you see a barrel. It is too high for you to jump to. Wait for a Tiki Boing to come along, and jump off it to get into the barrel. It will shoot you up to get a Puzzle Piece.
Take your time when you reach the section where you shoot from barrel to barrel, avoiding Flaming Tiki Buzzes. Near the top of this section, you can shoot your way up to a K KONG letter and then drop back down into a barrel. Once you have the letter, keep going from barrel to barrel.
Just a little past the K KONG letter, look for a Puzzle Piece peeking through some leaves. Shoot your way up to get it instead of going to the next barrel.
After falling down a series of mushrooms and landing on a platform with a DK Barrel, walk off the left edge and bounce off a mushroom into a hidden area where you can find lots of bananas and a Puzzle Piece.
While down in the hidden area, pound on the trapdoor in the middle and drop into an even lower area. Pound the gourds to get a coin and yet another Puzzle Piece! Pound the spot in the middle to make a mushroom grow so you can jump back up to the platform.
Continue on to some more barrels. Here you must time your shots just right so you can get the O KONG letter and not hit any Tiki Zings. If you miss the O the first time, you can return to the platform to the left and the exploding barrel will reappear.
After passing the first checkpoint, you have to perform several timed shots from barrels to avoid hitting totems and other objects. One shot lets you grab the N KONG letter as you fly through the air.
Pass by the second checkpoint and jump over to a platform with a trapdoor. Pound on it to drop down into a bonus area. Jump up and collect all the coins and bananas and you will leave with a Puzzle Piece as well.
You will have to do some barrel shooting past totems again. When you see the G KONG letter, wait to shoot until the barrel is pointing toward the letter, and then fire away. You will get the letter and land in the next barrel.
When you arrive at the Slot-Machine Barrel, walk past it and drop down off the right edge to another platform. Pound the gourd to get the last Puzzle Piece. Now you can hit the Slot-Machine Barrel to complete the level.
