Complete walkthrough for Part 41 of Donkey Kong Country Returns, covering the Beach world levels including Poppin' Planks, Sloppy Sands, and Peaceful Pier with time targets.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Platform Panic (Shiny 01:06.00 / Gold 01:13.00 / Silver 01:30.00 / Bronze 01:47.00): This level requires memorization for gold times, but the target is lenient. Tips include rolling on early platforms, taking damage before the first rest area to save time, roll-jumping off the second double-decker platform, and minimizing jumps on flying tikis, using short hops instead.
  2. 2
    Poppin' Planks (Shiny 00:59.00 / Gold 01:03.00 / Silver 01:25.00 / Bronze 02:20.00): Grab the DK barrel early. Avoid red crabs. Use a roll-jump off the peg after the heart to clear a wall. Ignore the DK platform for bananas. Roll under the first two suspended platforms and jump to the third. Jump off a crab to save time on the next set. Roll-jump off the weighted platform and then off a crab for the shiny. Bounce on flying tikis to reach the checkpoint, aiming for 32.5 seconds for gold. Avoid red crabs. Use spiked planks to reach suspended platforms, then a platform with a crab, followed by a platform with boxes. Roll-jump under the next platform and jump off a tiki. Nimbly roll-jump across platforms, staying high to avoid sharks.
  3. 3
    Sloppy Sands (Shiny 01:09.00 / Gold 01:11.00 / Silver 01:26.00 / Bronze 01:57.00): Jump on the peg at the start to get over the wall and grab the DK barrel. Roll right. Avoid rolling into squids. Roll-jump off consecutive squids to land on the next. Roll-jump off a wooden platform, then use the jetpack to jump on a squid and over squid shots. Avoid red crabs after the first checkpoint. Roll-jump off a raised platform after three crabs. Ground-pound the DK platform after the second checkpoint to access the tower, aiming to be inside within 37 seconds for gold. Climb the tower using roll-jumps and the jetpack, taking damage if necessary to skip waiting for squids. Use the blast barrel to reach the exit.
  4. 4
    Peaceful Pier (Shiny 01:49:00 / Gold 01:50.00 / Silver 01:51.00 / Bronze 01:58.00): This level is similar to a mine cart stage and relies on not restarting. The bronze and gold targets are very close.
