Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D Guide › Level Walkthroughs › World 5

Tippin' Totems

This level requires you to do a lot of jumping across narrow, moving platforms. Make your way to the K KONG letter, which is located beneath a spitter plant. Wait until the plant spits and then jump up and get the letter.

After getting the K KONG letter, drop straight down into some bushes and you will find a hidden area. Pick up the Puzzle Piece here along with several bunches of bananas. Time your jump out of here so the spitter plant does not hit you.

Jump off the platform onto a series of moving totems. Collect all of the bananas as you move to the right, and you will be rewarded with a Puzzle Piece.

Immediately after the checkpoint, pound a round trapdoor to drop into a bonus area. Collect some coins, a balloon, and lots of bananas. If you get them all, you are rewarded with a Puzzle Piece.

Continue until you see the O KONG letter. It is protected by a couple spitter plants. Avoid being hit while you jump to a platform right under the O KONG letter. Pound the ground to cause a small mushroom to grow. Use this to jump high enough to get the letter, and then keep moving so the spitter plants don’t make you lose a heart.

Tip

Jump on a spitter plant located on the ground to get rid of it.

The N KONG letter is located up high at the end of an area where you must jump across a series of moving totems. Watch out for Squeeklys, and time your jump just right so you can get this letter.

Shortly after the N KONG letter, jump up and grab on to grassy platforms. Pound the second one with a large gourd, and you will get a Puzzle Piece for your effort.

Get to the platform with the DK Barrel, and then drop down from the left side into a barrel. This will shoot you into a bonus area. Clear out all of the bananas and coins so you can get another Puzzle Piece.

When you’re back on the platform, get Diddy Kong and jump onto a totem to the right, knocking off a Tiki Goon in the process. When the totem is at its highest point, hover-jump to the left to collect the G KONG letter.

After getting the G KONG letter, keep hovering to the left. You reach a hidden area, where you can pick up a Puzzle Piece.

When you reach this line of Bopapodamuses, jump across and collect all of the bananas along the way. You will have to knock the Bopapodamuses down a bit to get some of these bananas. Once you have cleared out the bananas, you get a Puzzle Piece for your effort.
