The Golden Temple

Fans familiar with the Wii version of Donkey Kong Country Returns will remember this nightmarish dreamscape consisting of small pieces of terrain, even smaller platforms, a sky filled with enemies, and the constant threat of falling to your doom.

In this level, you must jump across giant fruit. Strawberries are like blocks while bananas are like platforms. They float up and down in the air, so you have to time some of your jumps.

After defeating the Tiki Doom on this brick platform, pound in the middle to release a Puzzle Piece.

Watch out for a Tiki Seeker. It appears in the air to the right and will fire projectiles at you. Look for a dark circle to appear in the air and then get ready to dodge. Tiki Seekers will attack you throughout the level.

As you reach this next brick platform, a Kowalee attacks. This fuzzy creature will throw bombs at you. Pick up one of its bombs and throw it back at the Kowalee to knock it off the platform.

After jumping across a row of blueberries, you reach a brick platform and then jump your way left across a higher row of blueberries. At the row’s end is a strawberry with a Puzzle Piece above it. Get the Puzzle Piece and then head back to the right.

Collect all of the bananas circling above this banana, and a Puzzle Piece will appear in the air. Jump onto an end of the banana; as it reaches its highest point, jump across and get the Puzzle Piece.

As you approach these three floating strawberries, bunches of bananas will fall down and land on top of them. Jump across, slowly gathering the bananas as you go. Then jump back to the left and get more bunches as they drop down. Keep collecting bananas on these strawberries until a Puzzle Piece appears. Get it and continue to the right.

Near the level’s end, watch out for falling oranges. Continue to this area where bananas are rotating. Jump across while they are low, and make your way to the last banana, where you can get the final Puzzle Piece. This can be a tricky little piece to catch, as it rotates along with the banana. You’ll have to hold off on jumping to safety pretty close to the last second in order to get the piece.

Continue to the level’s end, where you will jump into the final barrel to collect a banana mirror.
