Find all 5 puzzle pieces and KONG letters in Donkey Kong Country Returns Part 27. Includes tips for weighted platforms and bonus areas.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Immediately at the beginning of this level, ground-pound the cactus to the left to get a puzzle piece.
  2. 2
    On the second set of weighted platforms, defeat the skellirex (a type of enemy) on the right to reduce its weight. Stand on the right side of the platform so it tips, then roll-jump back to the left platform. Jump to the climbable ceiling to get the K.
  3. 3
    Just ahead, you will see a barrel cannon (a cannon that launches you). Roll-jump to its right to find a puzzle piece. A blast barrel down here will get you back on course.
  4. 4
    At the very end of this section, there is a weight that is also a climbable ceiling. Instead of riding the left platform down, jump above the rock formation to the right to enter a bonus area.
  5. 5
    The cactus in the middle back here has a puzzle piece. Ground-pound it to get the puzzle piece.
  6. 6
    Bounce on the spring to the cactus on the right. Ground-pound it to find another blast barrel. Traverse the weighted platforms from right to left to get the N. Once you have it, go from left to right to reach the blast barrel.
  7. 7
    After a blast barrel sequence, grab onto the climbable surface to weigh it down slightly, then quickly jump back to the left. Get on top of the platform to find the G.
  8. 8
    While on top of the platform, ride it down. When it hits the bottom, jump to the barrel cannon on the right. It will take you to a climbable surface with a puzzle piece.
Tips
  • Many platforms in this stage are weight-activated; standing on one side causes it to drop and the other to rise. Be aware that most are also weighted, so jumping off will cause the weighted side to drop.
  • You will need to follow a similar strategy as for the K to get the right side of the next weighted platform to rise to reach the next platform on the right.
  • Checkpoint (an auto-save point you restart from on death) #1 is just past the checkpoint.
  • Checkpoint #2 is just past the checkpoint.
  • Checkpoint #3 is just past the checkpoint.
  • The next weighted platform is too heavy to move. Jump to it and ground-pound on top to break off the rock.
  • A bit further ahead, you will see a couple of barrel cannons. Bounce onto the climbable ceiling, follow it down to the barrel cannon on the right. Time your shot to land on the climbable ceiling from the blast barrel, then continue right.
  • Ride down the next weighted platform, then ground-pound the nearby cactus to release a blast barrel to the background.
