Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze Guide Walkthrough Island 5: Juicy Jungle

Stage 5-6: Frosty Fruits

Stage Basics

Virtually every surface on this map is covered in ice, so be mindful of your momentum. When precision is your priority, remember to allow yourself extra time to build speed or skid to a stop. This lack of traction can be turned to your advantage, however. With enough speed, you can duck under a long line of low-hanging obstacles and allow your momentum to carry you through the area. Ground Pound ice cubes to open new paths or free trapped objects, and use the available spring-loaded fruits to launch yourself into the air or across the ice.

When you reach the small ice blocks at point 1, perform a Ground Pound to drop down 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. Stand near the fruit to the right and wait for the large block of ice to move toward you. When it does, use the fruit to bounce up to the block and grab the K.

Hop onto the small ice block at point 3 and perform a Ground Pound. Pluck the revealed handle to free a flying banana.

As the flying banana circles the area, collect all of the items trailing behind it. Complete the task before the banana leaves the area to reveal a Puzzle Piece.

The second KONG Letter is floating at point 4. Stand on the giant freeze pop just to the left of the KONG Letter and wait as it slides off of its stick. The platform pauses just before it falls out of the area. When this happens, jump through the O and up to the next freeze pop.

Cling to the short vine at point 5 to lower the nearby freeze pop. Once it’s in position, drop to the fruit below you and bounce onto the freeze pop. Wait as the frozen juice slides down its stick. Hop behind the wooden wall to the right to find a hidden Puzzle Piece.

The third KONG Letter is at point 6. Bop the nearby Puffton and bounce up to grab the N as you move through the area.

Slip through the opening at point 7 to move under the bridge, then drop into the Barrel Cannon below you. Wait until you move under the nearby Puzzle Piece, then launch yourself out of the Barrel Cannonand back up to the main path.

The last KONG Letter drifts at point 8. Wait for the spiked hazards to retract into the ice above you, then grab the G as you jump across the nearby gap.

The last Puzzle Piece is hidden past the Slot Machine Barrel, so make sure you collect it before you exit the stage. When you reach the last stack of purple ice cubes, Barrel Roll Jump over to the small platform beyond the Slot Machine Barrel.

Follow the path to the right to find a secret area. Wait for the spiked hazards to retract into the ice, then drop and grab the Puzzle Piece.
