Gear Getaway

At the start, walk over and pick up the DK Barrel and hold on to it. Now move left. Jump and throw the barrel at the bull’s-eye on the brick wall. Jump into the hole you create to get the first Puzzle Piece.

Jump onto the first moving platform. When it is at the top of its movement, jump left to hit the higher hanging light. This will release a Puzzle Piece.

Now jump across to the second moving platform, and drop off its right side to fall into a barrel. It will shoot you into a bonus area. Collect a couple coins, a balloon, and lots of bananas to get the Puzzle Piece.

After jumping into the rocket barrel, ride it through the rest of the area while avoiding crashing into things. When you see a line of bananas and a coin, follow it and collect all of the items in the line. A Puzzle Piece will appear ahead of you. Grab it and keep going.

Right before you reach the first checkpoint, you fly through a large spread of bananas. Move toward the top; the K KONG letter is at the end of the bananas.

In this level, you must fly in between the teeth of some giant gears. Watch the top gear—there is a Puzzle Piece between two of its teeth. Carefully fly into this spot, grabbing the Puzzle Piece without crashing.

The next letter is located in the section where you must fly through pistons that open and come together. To get the O KONG letter, fly through a low opening and then climb up to get the letter; then level out to get through the next opening.

The next Puzzle Piece is also located in a piston area. Fly a path down the middle of the area. If you follow the line of bananas, you will be in the right position to get the Puzzle Piece.

In order to get the last Puzzle Piece, you must collect all the bananas and coins located in a wavy line. Once you have them all, a Puzzle Piece will appear for you to pick up.

Right after getting the last Puzzle Piece, you will have to carefully fly between two large gears. Right in the middle is the N KONG letter. Just fly straight and it will be yours.

Near the end of the level, you must fly through some enormous gears. As the teeth come down, they are like platforms. Don’t let them hit you. The G KONG letter is located in the middle of this section. Try to avoid going too high or too low, or you may miss your chance to collect it and spell K-O-N-G. Continue to the Slot-Machine Barrel to complete the level.
