Stage 6-A: Dynamite Dash

Stage Basics

As you move through this stage, you’ll find bundles of dynamite rigged to platforms, Barrel Cannons, and large sections of the environment. Each of the pressure plates you encounter is linked to at least one explosive. When you trigger one of these switches, look for any warning lights or burning fuses that indicate when and where the impending explosions will occur.

When you reach point 1, you must jump along a series of exploding platforms. As you do, make sure you collect all of the available bananas and banana coins.

If you manage to collect all of the required items, a Puzzle Piece appears in the path ahead of you.

The first KONG Letter is floating at point 2. Time your jumps to collect the K as you move along the exploding platforms.

When you reach the Normal Barrel at point 3, grab it and hop up to the nearby platform. Toss the Normal Barrel into the pressure plate to the right, then jump back down to the wooden platform. The explosion releases a cluster of bananas. Collect all of these items before they vanish to earn a small bunch of bananas. Grab that item to reveal a trail of bananas to the left. Move to the edge of the wooden platform and jump through the trail of bananas to find a secret Barrel Cannon hidden below the main path.

Use the Barrel Cannon to launch yourself into a bonus room. Once you enter this 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.

Cling to the large wheel and move along its grassy surface. Collect all four of the nearby bananas to reveal a Puzzle Piece. Wait for the available platform to approach, then drop through the Puzzle Piece and hurry to the next area.

The second KONG Letter hovers at point 5. After you reach the nearby Barrel Cannon, use it to launch yourself through the O.

Hop onto the cracked ice at point 6 and perform a series of Ground Pounds. After you destroy the ice, Ground Pound the loose panel beneath you 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 center of the area.

When you reach the platform at point 7, stay put until the dynamite above you explodes. When it does, a large chunk of ice drops down to create a platform near the large wood panel to the right.

Hop onto the ice and move behind the wood panel to reveal a hidden area. Before you head back up to the main path, pluck the handle on the floor to reveal a Puzzle Piece.

The third KONG Letter is floating at point 8. Move along the length of the grassy surface to collect the N before you drop down to the nearby platform.

The last KONG Letter is floating at point 9. When you transition between the zip-lines, time your jump so that you’re able to collect the G just after you cross the gap.
