Stage 6-K: Slippy Spikes

TM & © 2014 Nintendo.

Note

To unlock this stage, you must collect all of this island’s available KONG Letters.

Tip

Select Dixie Kong from the map’s Buddy Barrel. All three of the available partners can be useful, but Dixie Kong’s Helicopter Spin is especially helpful.

Stage Basics

This stage contains a challenging mix of iced platforms and spiked hazards. As you jump between the available footholds, take care to avoid sliding into nearby hazards. Most of the map’s platforms are sturdy, however, so you’ll have plenty of opportunities to identify possible paths before you go charging into danger.

When you reach the platform at point 1, jump over the approaching spiked hazard and wait for the platform to tilt toward the Puzzle Piece to the right.

When you’re within range, leap toward the Puzzle Piece, then use Dixie Kong’s Helicopter Spin to carry yourself through the collectible item. If you time this maneuver properly, the platform to the right should tilt toward you just in time to ensure a safe landing.

When you reach the platform at point 2, pull the available handle just long enough to stop your momentum, then duck to avoid the spikes on the ceiling as the platform rises up. Wait until the platform drops back down before you take the time to rip the handle loose.

Pluck the handle at point 3 to reveal a Puzzle Piece in the gap to the right. Duck and wait for the platform to rise up and drop back down to its lowered position, then grab the Puzzle Piece as you hop to the nearby ramp.

As you climb up to point 4, look for the container on the ledge above you. Wait for the platform to the right to swing into range, then jump over and cling to its grassy surface.

Climb to the top of the platform, then leap back over to the container at point 4. Perform a Ground Pound to free a cluster of bananas from the container, then collect all of the bananas before they vanish to reveal a Puzzle Piece.

Jump over the gap at point 5 to follow the upper path through the area. As you do, collect all of the bananas scattered across the platform.

After you collect the bananas from the upper path, more bananas appear on the platforms to the right. As you move along each structure’s grassy exterior, collect all of the available bananas to reveal a Puzzle Piece near the circular platform.

When you slide down the large slope near the end of the stage, look for the Puzzle Piece floating at point 6. You must hop over the spikes that appear in your path, but make sure you’re in position to jump through the Puzzle Piece as you move into range. If you’re having trouble timing your jumps, use Dixie Kong’s Helicopter Spin to make a few midair adjustments.
