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

Stage 4-6: Current Capers

Stage Basics

Most of your time in this stage will be spent underwater, so remember to keep an eye on your air supply. Use the Corkscrew attack to activate the round switches scattered throughout the map, and pay attention to the currents that run through most areas. You’ll need some help from Dixie Kong or Cranky Kong if you hope to reach all of the collectible items, so make sure you take advantage of the map’s Buddy Barrels.

Collect all of the bananas near point 1 to reveal a Puzzle Piece near the end of the trail. After you land, swim back toward the water’s surface and Corkscrew up through the floating Puzzle Piece.

Corkscrew through the switch at point 2, then retreat as the nearby spiked hazards are pulled into the area. When you’re ready, head back in and scoop up all four of the banana coins circling the switch to reveal a Puzzle Piece.

The first KONG Letter drifts at point 3. Avoid the nearby enemies and hazards as you swim up to collect the K.

The chest at point 4 holds a Puzzle Piece, but you’ll need Cranky Kong’s Cane Bounce or Dixie Kong’s Helicopter Spin to reach it. Follow the main path until you reach the nearby Buddy Barrel, then select a suitable partner. Head back to point 4, use your partner’s jump ability to reach the raised platform, and perform a Ground Pound near the chest to expose the Puzzle Piece.

Circle the obstacle at point 5, then swim through the opening along its bottom edge. After the obstacle’s front panel slides open, collect the revealed bananas to earn a Puzzle Piece.

The second KONG Letter is floating at point 6. Slip between the hazards and follow the current as it circles the obstacle. Duck into the alcove and grab the O, then slip back into the current and make another pass around the obstacle to continue along the main path.

Swim up through the opening at point 7 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 bottom of the area.

The third KONG Letter hovers at point 8. Dive down and grab the N as you swim through the area.

As you approach point 9, look for the KONG Letter floating near the bottom of the area. Corkscrew down along the trail of bananas to avoid the falling hazard as you collect the G.
