    At the start, approach the clocktower. Use small mushrooms to bounce and large ones to climb. Activate BANANAPORTS #1-4.
  2. 2
    From Bananaport #3, go through the purple doorway, collecting 5 bananas.
  3. 3
    In the giant mushroom area, kill the Kroom (killer mushrooms), collect 10 bananas on BANANAPORT #5.
  4. 4
    Continue past a tunnel and mushrooms. Enter Cranky's lab and purchase the Super Simian Slam for five coins to trigger blue switches.
  5. 5
    Hop back to the island with the enormous mushroom. Find the Tag Barrel, switch to Lanky Kong.
  6. 6
    Collect 15 bananas around the mushroom and a bunch of 20 on top of BANANAPORT #3.
  7. 7
    Return to the start and enter the mushroom. Shoot the balloon (25 bananas) above the area.
  8. 8
    Shoot the grape switch on the wall above the entrance. Switch Kongs to hit all five target switches on the mushroom cap. Use Tiny Kong last.
  9. 9
    Barrel kannons will appear. Go right to find a Tiny switch. Collect 5 bananas and slam it. A Bonus Barrel appears.
  10. 10
    Go up the ramp opposite the exit, climb the ladder, jump left, climb another ladder, follow the path, jump gaps, and reach the Bonus Barrel.
  11. 11
    Speedy Swing Sortie (Difficulty: 2/10): Bounce off a mushroom to a tree, jump to a vine, and swing to the next tree, collecting 3 coins. Use Ponytail Twirl to reach the next tree, collecting a floating coin and one on the tree (5 coins total). Swing across vines, collecting 8 coins, then use Ponytail Twirl for 2 more (10 coins total). Swing across the last vines for more coins (13), plus one on the center tree (14 coins total).
  12. 12
    Collect your first GOLDEN BANANA (1). Use Ponytail Twirl to the bottom and switch to Donkey Kong.
  13. 13
    Head to the side opposite the Tiny switch to find a DK switch. Slam it to make a Golden Banana appear at the top.
  14. 14
    Before the timer runs out, run up the ramp to the barrel kannon. It will launch you to the top, collecting three banana bunches (25 bananas) along the way.
  15. 15
    At the top, collect the GOLDEN BANANA (1). Use the Tag Barrel to switch to Lanky.
  16. 16
    Shoot the balloon (35 bananas) near the ceiling of the mushroom, then go through the top exit.
  17. 17
    Activate BANANAPORT #5. Go left and Orangstand up the mushroom, lining yourself up with a brown door.
  18. 18
    Kill the Klump at the top and collect 40 bananas on the switch, then slam it. Two doors will open for ten seconds.
  19. 19
    Orangstand down and enter the previously seen door. You need to Simian Slam mushrooms by color in the correct order, shown by Kong faces.
  20. 20
    Collect 45 bananas on the yellow mushroom and slam them in the order: yellow, red, purple, green, blue. A Bonus Barrel appears.
  21. 21
    Krazy Kong Klamour (Difficulty: 3/10): Lights flicker faster. Use the watermelon gun to shoot Golden Bananas. You have five shots before needing to reload by shooting the center watermelon button. Reduce your counter to 15 by hitting 5 bananas. Avoid shooting Kongs, which increases the counter. Aim and fire quickly at the Golden Banana.
  22. 22
    Grab the GOLDEN BANANA (1) from Krazy Kong Klamour and leave the room.
  23. 23
    Orangstand down.
