Stage BasicsThis stage contains some very hazardous machinery. Keep your distance from the juicers, cleavers, and spinning blades scattered throughout the map. When you have to cross particularly large gaps, look for bits of fruit that can serve as temporary platforms. Remember that virtually all of the fruit in this stage is being processed—make sure you abandon each piece of fruit before it’s destroyed by a nearby machine. |
Slip past the Chompasaurus at point 1, then grab the nearby Normal Barrel and toss it into the enemy.
After you defeat the Chompasaurus, Ground Pound the loose panel at the center of the platform to find a Puzzle Piece hidden below the main path.
When you reach the platform at point 2, use Dixie Kong’s Helicopter Spin to hop onto one of the approaching melons. Hop along the melons to the left 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 room.

The first KONG Letter is floating at point 3. Wait for the nearby Hot Hootz to attack, then dodge the projectile and bop the enemy to bounce up through the K.
Cling to the short vine at point 4 to temporarily deactivate the cleaver to the right. Watch the juicer to the right as it moves up and down. Wait for the juicer to descend, then drop from the vine and dash past the cleaver. Hop onto the juicer as it slams down, and wait for it to reset.
When the juicer returns to its raised position, jump behind the wall to the left to find a hidden area. After the wall slides out of view, collect the revealed Puzzle Piece.

The second KONG Letter hovers at point 5. Jump along the bits of fruit that appear in the area, then leap through the O and into the nearby Barrel Cannon.
|
The third KONG Letter is at point 6. Stand on the nearby pendulum, then jump up and collect the N as you swing into position—just make sure you move fast enough to stay ahead of the approaching blades.
Stand near the Flower Bulb at point 7 and perform a Ground Pound to free the Puzzle Piece trapped within it.
To find the map’s secret exit, hop up to the platform at point 8, then Barrel Roll Jump to the right to reveal the blue portal hidden behind the nearby wall. Pass through the portal and strike the hidden Slot Machine Barrel to unlock the path to stage 5-A: Beehive Brawl.

The last KONG Letter floats at point 9. Hop along the stacked melons as they move past the spiked panels, then jump up and grab the G on your way to the next platform.
The last Puzzle Piece is near the Slot Machine Barrel at the end of the map. When you reach the last area, several spinning blades appear below you. You must use the available bits of fruit to stay out of harm’s way. Just before you reach the Slot Machine Barrel, a Puzzle Piece appears to the left. Use a well-timed Barrel Roll Jump to clear the gap, or use Dixie Kong’s Helicopter Spin to extend the distance of a standard jump.
