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

Stage 5-B: Jammin Jams

Stage Basics

This stage contains plenty of spikes, fruit presses, and retractable platforms. Pay attention to your surroundings, and time each jump to ensure you’re able to land safely.

Use the Bouncelisk patrolling near point 1 to reach the circling bananas floating in the air. Continue bouncing until you collect all of the available bananas and reveal a Puzzle Piece.

After you slip past the press at point 2, make your way up to the nearby platform. When the press slams down, hop over and climb the patch of grass growing along its side 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 first KONG Letter is floating at point 3. Bop the nearby Tuff Tucks or one of the incoming Archy projectiles and bounce up to grab the K.

The second KONG Letter hovers at point 4. Every few seconds, three spiked fruits bounce off of the platform below it. The platform to the left of the KONG Letter retracts at regular intervals, so don’t linger in the area. Time your approach carefully to collect the O without taking damage.

When you reach the Barrel Cannon at point 5, look for the KONG Letter floating above you. Watch the nearby platforms as they slide in and out of the background until you get a sense of their timing. Launch yourself through the N just as the platforms beneath it slide into place, then leap to safety.

Before you slide down the vine at point 6, climb up and hop to the nearby ledge 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 center of the area.

You must Ground Pound the Flower Bulb at point 7 to free the Puzzle Piece trapped within it. Before you can do this, however, you must find a way to reach the Bulb.

Continue along the main path until you find the patrolling Bouncelisk, then bop the enemy and bounce up to the platform above you. Follow the upper path back to the left and collect the Puzzle Piece at point 7.

Pluck the handle at point 8 to find a hidden Watermelon Fuse Bomb, then dash back to the left.

Toss the Watermelon Fuse Bomb into the damaged press to the left. After the blast, slip under the press and collect the revealed Puzzle Piece.

The last KONG Letter is floating at point 9. Launch yourself through the G as you move between the available Barrel Cannons.
