Stage BasicsAs you progress through this stage, you’ll find electrical hazards scattered throughout each area. It’s easy enough to identify any electrical currents blocking your path, but keep an eye out for the glimmering contacts attached to many of the map’s vines and platforms—if one of these contacts reaches a power source, a surge of electricity runs through the attached foothold. |
Before you can leave the starting area, you must move the platforms above the DK plate. Ground Pound the large flower to the right and use the revealed Barrel Cannon to launch yourself into the background. Hop up and cling to the short vine at point 1, then launch yourself back to the main path.
Stand on the exposed DK plate and use a Roll Attack to reach the Puzzle Piece to the left. The ice below the Puzzle Piece crumbles under your weight. As soon as you collect this item, jump back up to the main path. When you’re ready, hit the DK plate with a series of Ground Pounds to clear the path to the right.

The first KONG Letter is floating at point 3. Bop the nearby Hootz and bounce through the K on your way to the map’s only Buddy Barrel.
Ground Pound the loose panel at point 4 to drop into 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 top of the area.

The second KONG Letter hovers at point 5. Time your approach so that you jump through the O as the nearby electrical current moves toward the bottom of the area.
Collect all of the bananas near point 6 to reveal a Puzzle Piece above the Walnut on the next platform. As you do, time your jumps to avoid the electrical surges that run through the platform, as well as the electrical current sweeping through the area above you.
As you approach the gap at point 7, look for partially hidden Barrel Cannon at the bottom of the area. Drop into the Barrel Cannon to launch yourself into 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.
Hurry across the vines at point 8 and trigger the nearby checkpoint, then turn back to search for a hidden Puzzle Piece. Make a running leap to the vine hanging from the left side of the tilting platform, then hop over to the nearby grassy surface.
Climb up to the hidden area above the vines and collect the exposed Puzzle Piece.

The third KONG Letter is at point 9. Bop the Waldough patrolling the area, then bounce up and bop the nearby Hootz. Bounce up and collect the N before you drop back to the ground.
To find the map’s secret exit, use Dixie Kong’s Helicopter Spin or Cranky Kong’s Cane Bounce to jump onto the tilting platform at point 10, then move toward the small spike-covered platforms to the left.
If Dixie Kong is your active partner, Barrel Roll Jump over the spikes and use her Helicopter Spin to reach the blue portal to the left. If Cranky Kong is your active partner, simply Cane Bounce along the spike-covered platforms. Once you’re safely past the spikes, head through the portal and strike the secret Slot Machine Barrel to unlock stage 6-A: Dynamite Dash.

The last KONG Letter is drifting at point 11. Bop the nearby Painguin Tucks and bounce through the G on your way through the area.
