Stage 6-3: Aqueduct Assault

Stage Basics

Many of the platforms collapse under your weight, but that doesn’t mean you need to rush through each area. When larger platforms slide out of the area, they often expose the smaller platforms that once supported them. As you approach the end of the map, however, you find entire structures sinking out of each area—pick up the pace to ensure that you reach the map’s Slot Machine Barrel.

When you reach the platform at point 1, it tilts down and slides out of the area. As it does, hop to one of the small platforms attached to the support posts. Wait for the secret Barrel Cannon to appear, then use it to launch yourself to 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.

The first KONG Letter is floating at point 2. When step onto the nearby platform, it tilts down and slides out of the area. Once the platform moves out of the way, drop through the K and into the Barrel Cannon below you.

The second KONG Letter hovers at point 3. Bop the nearby Hootz and bounce up to collect the O on your way through the area.

Collect all of the bananas circling at point 4 to reveal a Puzzle Piece. You should be able to grab at least a few of the bananas as you bounce into the area. After you land, bait the nearby Archy into attacking, then bop its fish until you’ve collected the remaining bananas and the resulting Puzzle Piece.

Destroy the shield at point 5 to expose a hidden Puzzle Piece. To do this, continue along the main path to find a Tuff Tucks patrolling a nearby platform. Bop the enemy, then return to point 5 and toss the Tuff Tucks through the shield.

When you reach the platform at point 6, avoid touching the nearby Barrel Cannon. Instead, remain on the platform as it tips down and slides off of its supports. Just before it drops out of the area, make a running leap to the Puzzle Piece floating to the right.

Hop on the ice block at point 7 and ride it as it slides along the platform. After you collect the nearby KONG Letter, return to point 7 and perform a Ground Pound to free a Puzzle Piece from the large flower.

The third KONG Letter is floating at point 8. Jump up and collect the N as you ride the large block across the length of the platform.

Tip

After you collect this KONG Letter, remember to collect the Puzzle Piece from the large flower at point 7.

The last KONG Letter is drifting at point 9. Jump up and collect the G as you leap across the sinking platforms.
