Complete Part 9 of Donkey Kong 64, including the Army Dillo boss fight and how to collect Golden Bananas 4 and 5.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Navigate the tunnel, speeding up when pursued and slowing down when facing purple crocodiles. Collect coins through the crocodile's mouth.
  2. 2
    Avoid TNT barrels and ignore the two levers, as they lead to paths with fewer coins.
  3. 3
    Head through the final tunnel to receive GOLDEN BANANA (4) from Squawks.
  4. 4
    You will appear near where you shot the last Coconut Switch. Shoot the switch atop the steep slope to open a gate.
  5. 5
    Climb the two trees in the area to collect two banana bunches (75), earning BANANA MEDAL (2).
  6. 6
    Cross the river and return to the start. Climb the two trees by the Tag Barrel for another two banana bunches (85).
  7. 7
    Switch to Donkey Kong and return to the mine cart area. Climb the second tree and swing across the vines for DK's last banana bunch (100).
  8. 8
    Enter the Troff n' Scoff Portal.
  9. 9
    Go up the ramp to find a Banana Pad. Stand on it to feed Scoff, the hippo, 60 bananas.
  10. 10
    Scoff will gain weight, boosting Troff high enough to open the door, which displays DK's face.
  11. 11
    Head forward to face the boss.

Boss - Army Dillo

  1. Army Dillo will roll forward and shoot fireballs from his cannons. Change direction after each shot to avoid them, waiting a split second after the fireball hits the ground.
  2. When Army Dillo taunts you, pick up the TNT barrel from the pad in front of his face by pressing B, then throw it at him by pressing B again to electrocute him.
  3. Avoid Army Dillo when he rolls to run you over by keeping moving and using long jumps.
  4. When he begins shooting fireballs again, change direction every two shots as they are faster.
  5. Repeat the process of dodging his rolls and throwing TNT barrels when he taunts you.
  6. After dodging more fireballs, change direction after every two shots.
  7. When he taunts you again, throw one last TNT barrel at his face to destroy his cannons.
  8. Army Dillo will run off, dropping BOSS KEY (1).
  9. Pick up the key to automatically exit the boss arena.

Walkthrough (Continued):

  1. You reappear outside the Troff n' Scoff Portal, which disappears. Drop down and head to the start.
  2. Switch to Diddy Kong. Head through the tunnel to the very start.
  3. Shoot the two peanut switches on the sides of the huge cage to open it.
  4. Defeat the giant Gnawty inside, collect the coins (9), and shoot the banana balloon (95) to get GOLDEN BANANA (5).
  5. Leave the room and continue through the tunnel to the very start.
  6. Head back to the DK Portal and leave the world, collecting the last five bananas (100) along the way.
  7. Leave the Jungle Japes Lobby and swim to Crocodile Isle. Enter K. Lumsey's cage, and the key will automatically open the first lock.
  8. Leave the cave and take Bananaport #1 back to the start.
  9. Facing DK Isle, head left along the shore to find high ledges. Backflip up them, climb the tree, and swing across the vines.
  10. Jump up the brick stairs and activate BANANAPORT #2 in front of the temple. Enter the temple.
  11. Head up the stairs and make B. Locker leave, then enter the second level with Diddy Kong.
Tips
  • When facing crocodiles, speed up when one is behind you and slow down when one is in front.
  • If Army Dillo is close to you while he is rolling, perform a long jump to get away.
  • Keep your movement pattern irregular when dodging Army Dillo's rolls, as he is as fast as you are.
  • GOLDEN BANANA (4)
  • BANANA MEDAL (2)
  • BOSS KEY (1)
  • GOLDEN BANANA (5)
