  1. 1
    After obtaining the Golden Banana (2) from Beaver Bother, exit the tree. Climb the ladder by the tree again and drop into the lake. Head through the crack in the door to enter the dungeon.
  2. 2
    Follow the trail of 35 bananas to find a Kasplat who will give you a BLUEPRINT (3).
  3. 3
    Turn right and head into Candy's shop. Pay nine coins for the final music energy upgrade, bringing your total energy to 25 units.
  4. 4
    Turn back towards the Kasplat and make a right, continuing through 43 bananas until you reach an automatic door on your right.
  5. 5
    Head through the door and make a left. Avoid the Kosha and Primate Punch the gates on both sides to reveal a Lanky switch.
  6. 6
    Head back and take the right path to find a Diddy switch. Primate Punch the gates on both sides to collect two easy balloons (63).
  7. 7
    Head back again and take the forward path. Primate Punch the gates on both sides, then exit through the doorway.
  8. 8
    Hold R and make a right, following 75 bananas to its end to earn a BANANA MEDAL (2).
  9. 9
    Turn around until you reach a Tag Barrel. Switch to Donkey Kong.
  10. 10
    Head through the hall until you reach an automatic door. Go through and walk straight ahead, then slam the DK switch to open a gate.
  11. 11
    Solve the Simian Slam puzzle by slamming each square the following number of times:
  12. 12
    Row 1: 0, 1, 2
  13. 13
    Row 2: 3, 2, 1
  14. 14
    Row 3: 3, 0, 1
  15. 15
    After the puzzle forms DK's face, you will earn a GOLDEN BANANA (3).
  16. 16
    Exit this room and use the nearby Tag Barrel to switch to Diddy Kong.
  17. 17
    Grab the two banana bunches (35) from the gates you punched open. Head towards the exit and go right to find Lanky's switch.
  18. 18
    Collect the two banana bunches (45) in this area, then go back and take the opposite path.
  19. 19
    Slam the Diddy switch to open a door. A Golden Banana is on the other side. To get it, stay on the hay part of the floor. Shoot the balloon (55), then shoot the switch on the wall to lower chains. Play your instrument to kill the Kosha, then swing to the GOLDEN BANANA (2).
  20. 20
    Head back across the room normally and go to Donkey's switch. Use the Tag Barrel to switch to Lanky Kong.
  21. 21
    Go to the exit and take the right path. Avoid the Kosha and slam the switch to open a green lava room.
  22. 22
    Shoot the balloon (50) above the lava. Play your instrument on the pad to make Lanky pads rise. Carefully jump from pad to pad, stopping at the third pad to shoot another balloon (60), and reach the Bonus Barrel at the end.

Kremling Kosh:

  • Difficulty: 3.5/10
  • Objective: Score 25 points in 60 seconds.
  • Gameplay: Use the A button watermelon gun to shoot Kremlings. Red Kremlings are worth 2 points, green are worth 1 point. Reload by shooting the center watermelon piece.
  • Tips: Anticipate red Kremlings, shoot quickly and aggressively, and reload when needed.

Continued Walkthrough:

  1. After getting the GOLDEN BANANA (2) from Kremling Kosh, you reappear at the start of the three switch area. You can either kill yourself to return to the start or float back.
  2. Turn around and head through the automatic door. Hold R, then follow the path to the right. Stop at the Tag Barrel to switch to Tiny Kong.
  3. A gap is on your right. Do not fall in, as it leads to oblivion.
Tips
  • Beaver Bother: Position yourself so beavers are between you and the pit, then spiral around tapping B. Scare beavers tangentially, not head-on. If a beaver moves away from the pit, stop tapping B until repositioned. Try to get multiple beavers at once.
  • Kremling Kosh: This is mostly a test of reflexes. Anticipate red Kremlings for more points. Constantly shoot and move your gun to maximize scoring.
