Stage 6-B: Icicle Arsenal

Stage Basics

As you move through each area, keep an eye out for falling icicles and crumbling scenery. Be particularly careful around any Barrel Cannons that might be located near these hazards. Make sure you pluck all of the available handles, and use Roll Attacks to clear some of the particularly stubborn barriers from your path.

Note

To unlock this map, you must first unlock and complete stage 6-A: Dynamite Dash.

The first KONG Letter is at point 1. Hop onto the platform above the K and drop down to collect it, or simply hop along the lower platform to grab the KONG Letter on your way to the next ledge.

Defeat the Lemmington at point 2, then follow the grass to the left.

Ground Pound the large flower hidden above the main path to reveal a Puzzle Piece.

Grab the Buddy Barrel at point 3 and toss it into the nearby sandbag.

When you destroy the sandbag, it releases a cluster of bananas. Hop over and collect all of the bananas to reveal a Puzzle Piece.

Caution

As you collect these bananas, keep an eye out for incoming Archy projectiles.

Defeat the Fish Poker Pops at point 4, then pluck the handle on the ground to reveal a Puzzle Piece.

When you reach the Barrel Cannon at point 5, a KONG Letter appears to the right. Wait for the O to move into position, then launch yourself through the KONG Letter and over to the next ledge.

There are two blocks of cracked ice at point 6. Smash both of these objects to lower the nearby platforms, then jump up to the grassy surface running along the ceiling. Follow the grass to the left and use the secret Barrel Cannon at the end of the path 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 center of the area.

Pluck the handle at point 7 to raise the available platform into position. Before you bop the enemies to the right, hop over to the wooden panel to the left. When you do, the panel slides out of view to reveal a hidden Puzzle Piece.

The third KONG Letter hovers above the Hootzes at point 8. You must approach the KONG Letter from the right, so bop the lower Hootz and bounce to over to the Tucks on the next platform.

Watch the Hootz as it flies up and down. As the enemy approaches the bottom of its path, move to the platform’s right edge. Roll along the length of the tilted platform and jump up to bop the Hootz. Bounce up to the N, then steer yourself back to the right. With proper timing, you should land safely on the platform.

After you release the steam near point 9, use the raised platforms to reach the grassy surface above the main path. Perform a Ground Pound near the large flower, then use the revealed 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 center of the area.

When you reach the grassy surface at point 10, move to the right and climb up along the edge of the ice as it crumbles.

Keep climbing to remain in the area as the ice falls out of the map. After you collect the Puzzle Piece, jump over to the grassy surface on the ice to the right and continue along the main path.

The last KONG Letter floats at point 11. The instant you reach the Barrel Cannon just past the KONG Letter, launch yourself into the air and move left to collect the G and return to the previous Barrel Cannon. As soon as you land, continue along the main path to escape the falling chunk of ice.
