Stage 3-3: Frantic Fields

This level contains Rambi Crates.

Ground Pound the loose panel at point 1 to find a DD Barrel hidden below the main path.

As you cross the cactus patch at point 2, look for the large block marked with Rambi’s portrait. Continue along the main path and free Rambi from the nearby crate, then return to point 2 and charge through the large block to find a bonus room.

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.

Use Rambi to smash through the large block at point 3, then collect the Puzzle Piece to the right. Once you’ve done this, turn around and return to the main path.

The first KONG Letter is floating at point 4. Bop the nearby Tucks to bounce up and collect the K as you move through the area.

The second KONG Letter hovers at point 5. Move under the O, then jump up and collect it when the platform lifts you into range. The nearby Archy attacks once it spots you. Jump over any incoming fish, or bop them to bounce up and collect the KONG Letter whether or not the platform is in range.

Pluck the handle at point 6 to release the Puzzle Piece hidden beneath it. As you do, watch the background for incoming enemies.

As you approach point 7, the third KONG Letter comes flying toward you. Jump up and grab the N as it approaches. When you land, charge across the fragile planks on the ground to ensure that you’re safely past them by the time they break loose.

When you reach the checkpoint at point 8, jump along the platforms to the left to find an extra Rambi crate and a hidden Puzzle Piece. Once you’ve searched this area, turn back and continue along the main path.

As you approach the DX Barrel at point 9, watch for the Barrel Cannon that sweeps along the top of the screen. At least one of the nearby platforms should be positioned near the top of the screen. Move to a suitable location, then jump up and enter the Barrel Cannon to launch yourself into a bonus room.

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 last KONG Letter floats at point 10. If you’ve managed to hang onto Rambi the Rhinoceros, you can simply grab the G and run along the cactus patch. If you’ve lost Rambi, however, drop from the nearby platforms, then use Dixie Kong’s Helicopter Spin to avoid touching the cacti.
