Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze Guide Walkthrough Island 3: Bright Savannah
Stage 3-6: Cannon Canyon
Stage BasicsThis stage consists of a few standard platforming segments connected by some extended Barrel Cannon sequences. The map doesn’t contain any branching paths, so you shouldn’t have any trouble identifying the correct route. Following this route unscathed, however, can be fairly difficult. Time each launch to avoid any nearby hazards. |
There’s a bonus room hidden at point 1. Jump up along the nearby platforms, then hop across to the structure and head inside.
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 explosives scattered throughout the level are very dangerous. Most of these hazards move in predetermined patterns. If it’s not possible to slip under an explosive, you may need to leap over it. Try to keep your distance until you identify a safe path around each of these hazards.

The first KONG Letter is floating at point 3. Time your jump to collect the K and cross the gap just as the nearby explosive swings toward you.
Move through the first extended Barrel Cannon sequence until you find yourself near the canyon wall. As you continue through the area, look for two consecutive ropes flanked by Barrel Cannons. Wait near these ropes and watch for the Puzzle Piece that appears at the top of the screen. As the Puzzle Piece moves into your path, launch yourself out of the Barrel Cannon to grab it on your way to the next area.
Behind the shield at point 5 is a bonus room. Bop the Boom Bird to the right, then grab its Watermelon Fuse Bomb and toss it at the shield. Stand back until the bomb detonates, then follow the path into the 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 second KONG Letter hovers at point 6. Hop onto one of the nearby platforms, then jump through the O to collect it.
Stand on the loose panel at point 7, then perform a Ground Pound to drop into a secret area. When you land, collect the Puzzle Piece to the left and return to the main path.
The trees at point 8 are rigged with explosives. As you approach each tree, it detonates and topples over. Similar trees are located throughout the upcoming Barrel Cannon sequence. As you wait for each pair of Barrel Cannons to align, make sure you launch before any falling trees crash down on you.

Move through the extended Barrel Cannon sequence to the bottom of the waterfall, then look for the KONG Letter ahead of you. Take a moment to watch the N as it’s pushed in and out of the water. Once you have a sense of the timing, launch yourself out of the Barrel Cannon to collect the KONG Letter as it reaches the top of its path.
The last KONG Letter is near the end of the map. When you reach the Barrel Cannon near the rotating explosives, stop for a moment and watch them spin. The G floats between two of these explosives—launch yourself out of the Barrel Cannon just as the KONG Letter moves into your path.
The map’s last Puzzle Piece is hidden under the Slot Machine Barrel. When you reach the final platform, move to the left and hop into the Barrel Cannon below you, then launch yourself through the Puzzle Piece and back up to the Slot Machine Barrel.
