Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Mine Cart Mayahem: Survive for 60 seconds on a mine track while avoiding two enemy mine carts. Use Z to speed up, B to slow down, and the control stick to switch tracks at junctions. Stay away from TNT and use B to delay crashes if necessary. Keep an eye on the enemy carts.
  2. 2
    Golden Banana (3) & Dance Floor: Obtain the Golden Banana, then head to the dance floor. Go up the stairs and through the hallway to the exit.
  3. 3
    Tiny Kong - Ballroom: Switch to Tiny Kong and enter the ballroom. Go through the hallway, past the Kasplat, to the dance floor. Drop down and face the stairs. Use the Tiny pad near the wall to collect a banana bunch (75) for a BANANA MEDAL (5) and warp to the museum.
  4. 4
    Museum Collectibles: Grab a banana bunch (80) in the museum. Turn around to find a shack. Take a picture of BANANA FAIRY (2), grab a banana bunch (85), and use the Tiny pad to warp to another room. Grab another bunch (90), shoot the balloon (100), and warp back.
  5. 5
    Frantic Factory Race: Enter the Tiny barrel on the shack. Drop down and enter the small hole to be warped to Frantic Factory's testing room for a race against a slotcar.
  6. 6
    Slotcar Race Objectives: Complete a two-lap race, going through flags on the ground. You must collect 10 coins and beat the car. Missing more than five flags results in a loss. Boxes explode on contact, costing three coins. Hold Z to move.
  7. 7
    Slotcar Race Strategy: Collect coins (1-10) by going through flags and dodging boxes. Use the ramp and tunnels. On the second lap, cut corners and use the ability to miss up to five flags to save time. Winning with 10 coins earns GOLDEN BANANA (5).
  8. 8
    Ballroom Return & Greenhouse: Use the Tiny pad to warp back to the ballroom. Go up the stairs and through the hallway to exit. Switch to Chunky Kong and head to the greenhouse area.
  9. 9
    Greenhouse Shack: Left of the greenhouse is a shack. Primate Punch the door open. Avoid bats inside. Primate Punch the "?" crate to reveal a Chunky pad. Become invisible and collect homing ammo.
  10. 10
    Flip-Flap Elimination: Use homing ammo to kill all Flip-Flaps, earning GOLDEN BANANA (4). Shoot the balloon (85) inside, then leave.
  11. 11
    Museum - Shields & Boulder: Work your way down the castle from the greenhouse. Kill the Krypt. Slam the Chunky switch and enter the museum. Go to the new room downstairs. On the left, Primate Punch three shields with coins in front of them to reveal a boulder.
  12. 12
    Boulder Puzzle: Pick up the boulder, grab the banana bunch (90) underneath, and place the boulder on the table in the middle of the room. This opens a skull face in the back. Shoot the balloon (100) above the table.
  13. 13
    Golden Banana (5) & Exit: Grab the GOLDEN BANANA (5) from the opened skull face. Head to the front of the room, go up the stairs, and follow the hallway to exit.
  14. 14
    Cranky's & Diddy Kong: Continue down the castle to Cranky's. Use Bananaport #3 to return to the bottom, then head left to Bananaport #1. Switch to Diddy Kong.
  15. 15
    Diddy Kong - Balloon (90): Use Bananaport #1 to warp. Look up at the castle from the pad to find and shoot a balloon (90) near a window.
  16. 16
    Castle Ascent: Warp back using Bananaport #1, then use #2 to warp up the castle. Hop into the Diddy barrel. Follow the bridge up the castle.
  17. 17
    Final Banana Bunch (95): At the end of the bridge, grab the banana bunch (95) on top of a post attached to the castle by a chain without landing. Fly to the top of the castle.
