Stage BasicsTo reach the end of this stage, you must take advantage of the grassy surfaces scattered throughout the map. Doing so involves clinging to walls and ceilings, swinging along massive pendulums, and sneaking rides with working Buzzies. If you’re having trouble identifying the main path, look for any grass-covered objects that might help you reach the next area. |
You’ll need Cranky Kong’s help to collect the first Puzzle Piece. If you don’t enter the stage with Cranky Kong as your active partner, free him from the first available Buddy Barrel and return to the starting location to Cane Bounce across the spikes at point 1.
Cling to the vine at the edge of the map to release a cluster of bananas. Use Cranky Kong’s Cane Bounce to collect all of the bananas before they vanish. If you succeed, a Puzzle Piece appears in the area.

The first KONG Letter is floating near point 2. Stand on the platform below the K, then jump up and grab the KONG Letter as it bobs toward you.
Jump to the ledge at point 3 and cling to its grassy surface. Climb up and follow the trail of bananas to find the bonus room to the left.
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.
When you reach the grassy surface at point 4, move left to climb up and grab the nearby Puzzle Piece.

The second KONG Letter drifts above the spikes at point 5. Defeat the nearby enemies, then Barrel Roll Jump through the O to collect it without touching spikes.
Climb the grassy surface at point 6 to find a hidden ledge above the main path. Jump over to the ledge, then move right to enter 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.
When you reach the platform at point 7, drop to the lower ledge and move behind the wall to the right to find a hidden Puzzle Piece.

The third KONG Letter is at point 8. Make sure you’re in position to collect the N as the Buzzy carries you through the area.
Swing over to the tree at point 9 to find a partially hidden Barrel Cannon. When you’re close enough, let go of the pendulum and leap into the Barrel Cannon.
Follow the Barrel Cannons along the bottom of the area to collect a Puzzle Piece on your way back to the main path.
When you reach the pendulum at the top of the area, use it to swing over to point 10. Hop over and perform a Ground Pound near the Flower Bulb to release a cluster of bananas. Collect all of the bananas before they vanish to reveal a Puzzle Piece.
 Eventually, the platform lands near the final KONG Letter. Hop through the G and climb the grassy surface up to the Slot Machine Barrel. |
When you cling to the stage’s last pendulum, it breaks free and carries you to toward the end of the map.
