Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze eGuide Walkthrough Island 4: Sea Breeze Cove

Stage 4-2: High Tide Ride

Stage Basics

Most of your time in this stage will be spent inside a Mine Cart. Jump between the available track segments to traverse gaps, avoid hazards, and collect important items. Some of the map’s obstacles shift between tracks or drop into your path without warning—be prepared to deal with sudden changes in the environment.

Hop into the Barrel Cannon floating at point 1 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 bottom of the area.

The first KONG Letter hovers at point 2. As you approach this area, jump up to the raised track segment, then hop over the barricade to grab the K as you return to the main path.

There’s a Puzzle Piece just past the barrier at point 3. Hop over the barrier and grab the Puzzle Piece, then jump up to the next track segment to continue through the area.

As you weave around the barriers near point 4, collect all of the bananas that appear on the tracks.

If you manage to collect all of the required bananas, a Puzzle Piece appears on one of the upcoming track segments.

The second KONG Letter appears in the gap at point 5. As you move through this area, hop over to the neighboring tracks, then leap across the gap to grab the O.

As you approach the sliding barrier at point 6, a few bananas appear on the nearby track. Slip past the barrier and hop over to collect the bananas, then pick up the bananas that appear near the remaining barriers.

If you retrieve all of the bananas near the sliding barriers, a Puzzle Piece appears in the next area. Hop over and grab the Puzzle Piece, then return to the main path to continue through the stage.

As you approach the Puzzle Piece at point 7, a large column pops up and obstructs your view. As you hop around the column, try to remember exactly where the Puzzle Piece is located.

As the column drops back down below the tracks, the Puzzle Piece comes back into view. Hop over and grab this important item as you race through the area.

The third KONG Letter floats above the Blue Hootzes at point 8. Jump over the enemies and grab the N as you move between the track segments.

The last KONG Letter appears at point 9. The nearby obstacles block all but two of the tracks—choose the path on the left to collect the G as you race toward the next group of obstacles.
