Stage BasicsTo reach the end of this stage, you must jump along a series of moving platforms. Most of these footholds are only in position for a few seconds, so it’s usually best to keep moving. Watch the path ahead of you to determine exactly when a distant platform might move into range. Dixie Kong’s Helicopter Spin is particularly useful in this stage, so make sure you select her from the available Buddy Barrel. |
When you reach the cube-shaped platforms at point 1, look for the Puzzle Piece that appears below the main path.
Wait on the first cube until it begins to drop out of the area, then Barrel Roll Jump through the Puzzle Piece. If you time it properly, the third cube should rise up just in time to catch you.
When you reach point 2, use Dixie Kong’s Helicopter Spin to reach the small platform above the main path.
Barrel Roll Jump from the platform’s right edge, then bop the nearby Hootz and bounce over to collect the Puzzle Piece from the next platform.
As you approach point 3, one of the columns in the background shifts to create a square platform. After you land, jump up and collect the bananas circling around you.
When the next platform moves into position, hop over and collect the bananas that circle around you. If you collect all of the area’s available bananas, a Puzzle Piece appears to the right. Wait for the next platform to appear, then collect the Puzzle Piece as you hop across the gap.
When you reach point 4, a banana coin floats up from the bottom of the screen. Wait until it moves into range, then jump through the banana coin and land on the debris to the right.
As you move up along the falling debris, watch the bottom of the screen for additional banana coins and time your jumps to grab each of them. Collect all four banana coins to reveal a Puzzle Piece near the Barrel Cannon at the top of the area.
The map’s last Puzzle Piece appears as you approach point 5. Bop the nearby Puffton, then grab the Puzzle Piece as you bounce over to the next enemy.
