Grab the barrel near the start and carry it with you as you jump across several platforms and dodge Char-Chars. Jump onto a platform, and from there jump up and throw the barrel at this bag to release the first Puzzle Piece.
At this point in the level, you cross the lava by walking along a giant stone wheel as it rolls right. Jump up and grab the K KONG letter as you pass under it. Be careful that you land back on the wheel and not in the lava.
The next Puzzle Piece is located beneath a platform. Jump over to a stone wheel and walk along it as it rolls left. As it goes under the platform, jump up to get the Puzzle Piece and land on the platform.
Jump onto this platform, and watch out for the Char-Char as you collect the O KONG letter.
As you walk along another stone wheel that is rolling right, watch for a Puzzle Piece that will come up from the lava and follow the wheel. Grab it and then jump onto the platform to the right so you don’t fall into the lava.
After getting off the wheel, jump to a smaller platform to the left and blow on a windmill. This will lower a platform. Jump onto it and ride it into a bonus area. Collect the coins and bananas to get the Puzzle Piece.
The N KONG letter is located in a swarm of Char-Chars. You will shoot through this area from a barrel. Watch for a pattern in the Char-Chars’ movement, and time your shot so you miss them as you collect the letter during your brief flight.
Near the level’s end, you must climb up platforms on a sinking structure. Rush across to the far right so you can get the last Puzzle Piece before it sinks into the lava.
Jump your way to the top of the sinking structure as you avoid Char-Chars and fireballs. The G KONG letter is in the center row near the top. Grab it to spell out K-O-N-G, and then continue to the top. Jump off to the right and hit the Slot-Machine Barrel to complete the level.
