Stage 5-1: Harvest Hazards

Stage Basics

This stage contains a variety of simple machines. As you progress through each area, watch for the hazards and footholds that move in and out of your path. A few rolling platforms serve as makeshift railcars; to control a railcar, simply use your weight to tilt it in the desired direction.

Stand near the Flower Bulb at point 1 and perform a Ground Pound to free the Puzzle Piece trapped inside.

The first KONG Letter is floating at point 2. Jump up and grab the K as you bounce across the large red berries.

Stand near the claw at point 3 as it drops in and out of your path. Eventually, a secret Barrel Cannon appears in place of the claw—when it does, hop into 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.

Bop the Bouncelisk at point 4 and launch yourself up through the nearby bananas. Continue bouncing until you collect all of the bananas to reveal a Puzzle Piece.

The second KONG Letter hovers between the tracks at point 5. Ride the first railcar into the gap to collect the O, then jump up to the next railcar to continue through the area.

Hop into the Barrel Cannon at point 6 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 third KONG Letter drifts at point 7. Ride clear through the N, then jump up to the platform above you as the railcar drops off of the map.

There’s a partially hidden Puzzle Piece floating behind the leaves at point 8. Ground Pound the nearby crate to clear it from the platform. Stand near the checkpoint and wait for the patrolling Bouncelisk to approach, then hop on the enemy and bounce up to grab the Puzzle Piece.

Look for a partially hidden Puzzle Piece behind the leaves at point 9. Jump up and grab it as the rotating platforms carry you through the area.

The last KONG Letter floats at point 10. Hop along the small platforms that move through the area to grab the G before you continue along the main path.

Clear out the enemies near point 11, then use the rotating platform to reach the bananas drifting above you.

After you gather all of the bananas, a Puzzle Piece appears in front of the platform’s wooden gear. Ride the platform and grab the Puzzle Piece as you pass under it.
