Stage BasicsThe bells scattered around this map are essential to your progress. Whenever you reach a bell, perform a Ground Pound to ring it. Doing so can shatter barriers, reveal secret items, and drop zip-lines into place. Passing by a bell without ringing it often results in a costly fall, so stay alert! You can reach all of the collectible items without help, so just choose your preferred partner from the available Buddy Barrels. |
When you reach the door at point 1, use the nearby Buddy Barrel or a Roll Attack to smash through the barrier. Move onto the loose panel and perform a Ground Pound to drop into the area below you, then collect the bananas to the left to reveal a Puzzle Piece.

The first KONG Letter is floating at point 2. Jump from the end of the zip-line to collect the K on your way to the next platform.
There’s a Barrel Cannon hidden at point 3. To reach it, follow the main path until the Archy to the right attacks, then move back toward the tall platform to the left. Jump up and bop one of the Archy’s fish to bounce up to the platform, then hop into the Barrel Cannon to launch yourself into a bonus room before the planks give way.
Once you enter the bonus room, you have 30 seconds to collect all of the available bananas. If you succeed, a Puzzle Piece appears near the bottom of the room.

The second KONG Letter hovers above the Puffton at point 4. As you approach this enemy, drop down to grab the O, then bop the Puffton and bounce back up to the zip-line.
When you reach the tankard at point 5, walk off of the ledge and drop to the platform below you. Wait until the platform crumbles, then run to the left to find a bonus room behind the waterfall.
Once you enter the bonus room, you have 30 seconds to collect all of the available bananas. If you succeed, a Puzzle Piece appears near the center of the area.

The third KONG Letter is at point 6. As you slide through the area, drop to the lower zip-line to collect the N, then jump back to the upper zip-line to continue through the area.
Use the small platform at point 7 to reach a hidden Barrel Cannon, then hop inside to launch yourself to a secret area below you.
When you land, a Puzzle Piece appears to the left. The planks at the bottom of the area are very fragile, so don’t run along the platform. Instead, perform a series of jumps on your way to the Puzzle Piece to minimize the damage to the platform. After you collect this item, turn back and hop along the remaining planks, then return to the main path.
As you race to stay ahead of the crumbling platforms, hop onto the loose panel at point 8 and perform a Ground Pound to find a Puzzle Piece in a small hidden area.

The last KONG Letter hovers above at point 9. Hop on the platform below it, then jump straight up to collect the G. The platform begins to crumble when you touch it, so you’ll have to find another place to land. If you have Diddy Kong or Dixie Kong as your active partner, use the available jumping skill to reach the awning to the left. Otherwise, steer your fall to the right, then hurry back up along the available platforms.
