Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze Guide › Walkthrough › Island 6: Donkey Kong Island

Stage 6-6: Cliffside Slide

Stage Basics

This stage contains fast -snow that eventually buries most of the platforms scattered through each area. As you search for troublesome enemies and useful items, move quickly to ensure that you utilize nearby footholds while they’re available.

When you reach the large flower at point 1, turn around and Roll Attack through the enemy to the left.

Continue under the platform to reveal a hidden Puzzle Piece.

The first KONG Letter floats at point 2. Bop one of the nearby enemies and bounce up to grab the K.

Defeat the Big Sphen at point 3, then step behind the wood panel to the left.

Pluck the revealed handle to free a Puzzle Piece from the platform.

Caution

The rickety platform near point 3 crumbles under your weight. Avoid the Big Sphen’s projectile attacks to ensure that you reach the ledge before the platform crumbles.

The second KONG Letter is at point 4. Move to the right until the nearby Big Sphen attacks, then move back under the O. Bop one of the Big Sphen’s fish and bounce up to collect the KONG Letter.

After you leap to the spring-loaded flower at point 5, bounce back to the left to find a large flower hidden above the main path.

After you land, hurry over to the large flower and perform a Ground Pound. Collect the revealed Puzzle Piece, then turn around and hurry back to the main path.

The third KONG Letter hovers at point 6. Swing over to the nearby Puffton, then bop the enemy and collect the N as you wait for the next vine to swing toward you.

Slip under the Hot Hootz at point 7, then jump up to the nearby Buddy Barrel. Select your desired partner and wait for the enemy to attack. When it does, hop over the incoming projectile, bop the Hot Hootz, and bounce behind the wooden panel to the left.

The wooden panel rises up to reveal a ledge. After you land, stand near the large flower and perform a Ground Pound to free the Puzzle Piece trapped within it.

When you reach the large flower at point 8, perform a Ground Pound to free the Puzzle Piece trapped within it. Move quickly to ensure that you collect this item before the platform crumbles.

The last KONG Letter is drifting at point 9. Bop the nearby Archy, then bounce up and grab the G. Move quickly to ensure that you reach the available Barrel Cannon before the platforms collapse.

When you reach the grassy surface at point 10 climb up to the nearby Lemmington and perform a Ground Pound to clear the enemy from your path. The entire structure crumbles within a few seconds, so move quickly to ensure that you’re able to reach the nearby platform as soon as it rotates into position.
