Navigate Part 44 of Donkey Kong 64 with our comprehensive walkthrough. Includes guides for the Busy Barrel Barrage, Snide's HQ, and the Dogadon II boss fight.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Head around the tree, following the arrow and using the Z button to hover through the rings. If you fall too far behind or fall, you'll have to restart. After completing the lap, head around the tree again for extra rings. The cheating owl will give you a Bonus Barrel at the top of the tree. Fly to the top, land, collect the banana bunch (90), and jump into the barrel.
  2. 2
    Busy Barrel Barrage: Survive for 45 seconds by shooting incoming baddies. You are in the center and can only spin around. Aim in circles and fire at them one by one. You have unlimited ammo. Kill each Kritter quickly as they regenerate. If an enemy gets too close, shoot it down fast. If you get hit by even one baddie, you lose.
  3. 3
    After getting your GOLDEN BANANA (4), drop to the front of the tree and use Bananaport #4. Go rightward, facing the center. Right after passing port #1, use the barrel kannon to shoot to the clocktower. Shoot the day switch to change the time. Drop down and continue around to Bananaport #2. Use the mushroom to get to the Tag Barrel and become Tiny Kong.
  4. 4
    Head through the green tunnel, collecting bananas (85). Go counter-clockwise around the area, climbing the three mushrooms for banana bunches (100).
  5. 5
    Head to the fenced dirt patch on the left. Unearth the DK pile for a RAINBOW COIN. Tiny plants the magic bean into the ground, causing a stalk to grow. Go up the stalk for a Golden Banana. A music pad appears in the patch.
  6. 6
    Head right of the patch to a Tiny barrel. Become super small, then go back to the stalk. Play your instrument and Squawks will bring you to the top for your GOLDEN BANANA (4).
  7. 7
    Head to Funky's armory and use Bananaport #2. Go around the clocktower and use Bananaport #1 to reach the mill area. Go to the opposite side of the barn, cross the river, and head left to find Snide's HQ.
  8. 8
    Exchange blueprints at Snide's HQ for Tiny's GOLDEN BANANA (5), Donkey's GOLDEN BANANA (5), Lanky's GOLDEN BANANA (4), and Diddy's GOLDEN BANANA (5).
  9. 9
    As Diddy, shoot the balloon outside the HQ (100).
  10. 10
    Enter the Troff n' Scoff Portal. Have Diddy feed 100 bananas to Scoff. Switch to Donkey and feed Scoff another 100 bananas. Use Chunky to feed the last 100 bananas. The door shows Chunky's face, so head inside to fight the boss.

Boss - Dogadon II

Difficulty: 5/10

Chunky is on a giant stone platform above lava while Dogadon attacks. Dodge fireballs by moving in irregular circles. Be careful of shockwaves. When the boss rests, pick up the TNT barrel and throw it at him. This knocks him into the lava, but he quickly gets up.

Dodge two rounds of fireballs from two corners. When he rests again, quickly throw the TNT barrel at him. He'll slam the ground, causing a shockwave.

Dodge three sets of fireballs from three different corners. Instead of resting, Dogadon releases a huge burst of energy, creating an inferno fire wall. Take the hit. When Dogadon is sitting, throw another TNT barrel at him.

After Dogadon flies out of the lava, he'll stomp the ground, causing the platform to slowly sink. If you're not quick enough, the lava will engulf the platform and kill you, forcing you to start over.
