Switcheroo

The level uses round switches to extend and retract colored platforms. Hitting a blue switch causes blue platforms to extend and red platforms to retract. Hit a red switch and the red platforms extend and the blue platforms retract. Use these switches to move to the right. When you reach platforms you can jump onto, make your way up and to the left to enter a small passageway. Roll to the left to take out some BuckBots and then jump into a barrel that will take you to the bonus area. Collect the coins, balloon, and bananas to get the Puzzle Piece.

The K KONG letter is tough to get. As you swing across the switches, you make the blue platform below the block retract. Jump across to the vine on the left, and climb up it so you pass through the gap in the switches. Then as you swing back to the left, drop a bit and hit a blue switch so you can drop down and pick up the K KONG letter and some bananas. Jump back up onto the vine and go through the gap again. The blue platform is still to the right of the switches; land on it.

Flip a switch to retract the red platform here and then pound the metal platform to drop down into a barrel. This will shoot you to a secret area where you have to pound on a red button to power up the connection to 7-R.

In this area, you must jump up and hit switches while in the air so you have a platform to land on. Jump onto this blue platform, then jump over to get the O KONG letter. Afterward, drop straight down and hit the red switch below the letter so you can land on a red platform.

Jump to the top of this vertical shaft. You will need to do some fancy jumping and hovering to get here and collect the Puzzle Piece.

When you reach this spot after the first checkpoint, grab the DK Barrel (if you don’t have Diddy Kong). Jump back up onto the red square platform. From there, drop to the left onto the blue platform and then up to the left onto a red platform. Move left two more red platforms, then jump up to the high blue platforms. You then need to jump across on these blue platforms, heading right, so you can hover-jump across to a barrel that will take you to a bonus level. Clear out the area to get the Puzzle Piece.

The N KONG letter takes some careful jumping. Once you have the red platform below you, jump carefully over the low blue switches without hitting the high blue switches. Jump straight up to get the letter, then carefully make your way to the right.

Go past the second checkpoint, then jump up a series of platforms as you move left. A Puzzle Piece is located directly above this checkpoint.

In order to get the G KONG letter, climb along the top of this spot, then drop down and duck as the Electroid moves to the left. Grab the letter and then use the tire to get back up to the top platform. Climb to the right to get away from the Electroid.

As you start jumping up platforms to reach the end of the level, jump left to land on this platform and get the last Puzzle Piece. Then continue to the Slot-Machine Barrel to complete the level.
