Make your way past moving Screaming Pillars without getting smashed, and pick up a DK Barrel. Then jump up on some bouncy orange eggs to a second batch. From this spot, hover-jump to the left to get the first Puzzle Piece.
You race away from the munchers and go under some Skittler Pillars. Jump up a couple of small platforms to get the K KONG letter.
When you see a gourd up high, right before a red gate you must crash through, quickly pound the gourd to get a Puzzle Piece.
After crashing through the gate, roll across this drop and jump in midair to get another Puzzle Piece.
Eventually you get to an area with a grassy layer overhead. Pound the ground below some bananas to make a mushroom grow. You can then use this to jump up to get the O KONG letter.
Look for a hollow Skittler Pillar. Jump into it and ride it to the top, where you can get the N KONG letter. Quickly get out and pick up a heart as you continue on your race away from the munchers.
Jump on some bouncy eggs to get up onto a platform. Drop down the right side and move left into a bush to find another Puzzle Piece.
As you come to another red gate blocking your way, don’t bust through it. Instead roll down to the left and then to the right so you pass through a bush under the gate and collect the last Puzzle Piece.
After reaching the checkpoint, you will shoot your way quickly up through a hollow tree trunk using a series of barrels. When you see the G KONG letter, jump to the left out of a barrel to get it and then keep going up until you reach the Slot-Machine Barrel and complete the level.
