Stage 5-K: Platform Problems
TM & © 2014 Nintendo.
Stage BasicsLike all temple stages, this map contains very little solid ground. Most of the available platforms either rotate as they move along their tracks or break loose the instant you touch them. Learn to identify dangerous platforms and time your jumps accordingly. When you’re having trouble identifying a safe foothold, look for a nearby Hootz—bopping these enemies should buy you enough time to identify a more appropriate landing spot. |
While the platform at point 1 moves along the lighter track segment, it remains in a horizontal position. As it moves along the darker track segments, it flips into a vertical alignment. You’ll find similar platforms scattered throughout the stage—use the corresponding tracks to determine exactly when these platforms will serve as safe footholds.
When you hop onto the narrow platform at point 2, it breaks loose and slides down its track—you must abandon the platform before it drops out of the area. You’ll encounter many more of these narrow platforms on your way through the stage, so plan accordingly.
Hop through the bananas at point 3 to collect all of them as you pass through the area. If you succeed, a Puzzle Piece appears to the right.
Jump up to grab the Puzzle Piece just before the platform rotates, then bop the nearby Hootz and bounce up to the small platform near the spikes to the right.
When you reach the platform at point 4, ride to the top of its track, then perform a Barrel Roll Jump to reach the ledge to the left.
After you land, approach the panel to the left to reveal a hidden Puzzle Piece.
After you reach the platform at point 5, hop over and grab the Puzzle Piece to the left. When you do, make sure you time your jump to avoid the nearby spikes.
When you reach the platform at point 6, look for the Puzzle Piece floating near the Hootzes to the left. Ride the platform until it reaches the end of the lighter track segment, then jump over and bop the nearest Hootz. Bounce up and drop through the Puzzle Piece, then bop each of the remaining Hootzes and return to the platform as it circles back to the lighter track segment.
As you bop along the Hootzes at point 7, make sure you collect all three of the banana coins floating in the area.
If you succeed, a Puzzle Piece appears to the right. After you bop the last Hootz, bounce up to grab the Puzzle Piece on your way to the next platform.
