Stage 2-5: Alpine Incline

Stage Basics

To reach the end of this map, you must navigate a winding path composed of floating platforms and flying enemies. Dixie Kong’s Helicopter Spin can be very helpful, so make sure you take advantage of the map’s DX Barrels. Many of the platforms and enemies are in constant motion—if you don’t see a way forward, take a moment to see if a serviceable foothold floats into range.

The first KONG Letter floats at point 1. As you approach this area, two Soaries come flying in from the right. Bop each Soary to launch yourself up to the K before the enemies move out of position.

There are several hidden bananas scattered across the platforms at point 2. Collect the visible banana on the first platform to reveal the next two bananas in the sequence. Hop between the platforms and collect the bananas as they appear to reveal a Puzzle Piece near the center of the area.

When you reach the vines at point 3, drop down and bounce along the Tufftons to collect the banana coins floating above them. When you collect all three banana coins, a Puzzle Piece appears. Use the vines to reach it before you continue through the stage.

When you reach point 4, perform a series of Ground Pounds to rupture the balloon below the platform to continue to the next area.

The second KONG Letter appears as the platform approaches the end of its path. When the platform stops moving, jump up and grab the O, then hop into the nearby Barrel Cannon. The platform drops out of the stage when its balloon is fully deflated—make sure you move on before it does.

There’s a Barrel Cannon hidden in the balloons at point 5. Use the nearby vine to reach the Barrel Cannon, then hop in to launch yourself into a bonus room.

Once you reach the bonus room, you have 30 seconds to collect all of the available bananas. If you succeed, a Puzzle Piece appears at the center of the room.

A Puzzle Piece floats under the large platform at point 6. Use the smaller platform roaming near the bottom of the screen to slip under the main path. When you’re directly under the Puzzle Piece, jump straight up to grab it and return to the main path.

The third KONG Letter is on a platform at point 7. Simply jump up and grab it on your way through the area.

The last KONG Letter hovers at point 8. Avoid the Soaries flying through the area as you bounce along the moving platforms. When one of the platforms floats into position, jump up and collect the G.

Before you drop and hit the Slot Machine Barrel, continue across the platforms and enter the bonus room at the end of the map.

Once you enter the bonus room, you have 30 seconds to collect the available bananas. Launch yourself between the rotating Barrel Cannons to grab any bananas between them. If you successfully collect all of the bananas, a Puzzle Piece appears in the center of the room.
