Stage BasicsAs you move through this stage, keep an eye out for any barnacle-covered platforms—these weakened structures begin to crumble as soon as you touch them. The spiked panels scattered throughout pivot at regular intervals, so time your jumps to slip past these hazards. The stage also contains several bomb-tossing enemies. Use the available Watermelon Fuse Bombs to clear out stubborn enemies and obstacles, but make sure you stay clear of each blast. |

The first KONG Letter hovers above the narrow, barnacle-covered platform at point 1. As you move through the area, drop down and collect the K, then jump back up to the grassy surface before the platform falls away.
There’s a bonus room hidden at point 2. Bop the nearby Painguin Tucks, then bounce up to the platform near the top of the map. After you land, follow the platform to the left to find 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 in the center of the area.
Pluck the handle at point 3 to reveal a Puzzle Piece. The nearby spiked panel sweeps through the area every few seconds, so move quickly. Drop down as soon as the spikes move away, grab the Puzzle Piece, then hop over the spikes as they return.

The second KONG Letter is floating in the gap at point 4. Jump through the O just before the nearby barnacle-covered platform drops off of the map.
There’s a Puzzle Piece hidden within the crate at point 5. Grab a Watermelon Fuse Bomb from the path to the right and toss it up to the crate. After the blast hop up and collect the exposed Puzzle Piece.

The third KONG Letter is floating at point 6. Stand under the N and wait for the nearby Archy to attack, then bop one of the incoming fish and bounce up to collect the KONG Letter before the platforms drop out of range.
Collect all four of the banana coins at point 7 to reveal a Puzzle Piece. To do this, you must launch yourself back and forth between the nearby Barrel Cannons. Be careful! A mistimed launch will send you to the next area or cause you to fall right off the map.
Jump up along the platforms near point 8 to find a bonus room high above the main path.
Once you enter the bonus room, you have 30 seconds to gather all of the available bananas. If you succeed, a Puzzle Piece appears near the center of the area.
 As the panel sweeps to the right, hurry across the barnacle-covered platforms to grab the G while it’s in position. |
The last KONG Letter is attached to a spiked panel. When you reach the platform at point 9, watch the spiked panel to the right until you get a sense of its timing.
Destroy the crates at point 10 to reveal a Puzzle Piece. Simply grab one of the nearby Watermelon Fuse Bombs and toss it onto the crates.
The last Puzzle Piece is hidden behind one of the crates at the end of the map. Position yourself on the right half of the stack and perform a series of Ground Pounds to collect the Puzzle Piece on your way down to the Slot Machine Barrel. You only have a few seconds to complete the stage before the nearby bomb explodes, so move quickly!
