Part 16

You'll start off in this watery level. Right at the beginning, hop off the platform you start on to the left. You'll land on another platform that has a puzzle piece waiting for you.

Keep heading right. You'll see the 'K' floating above a DK platform. To grab it, you'll need to jump off the nearby Tiki Buzz. Once you've got that, ground-pound the DK platform to open up the path forward.

A little further on, you'll find a small ditch with two screaming pillars. Between them, there are some candles. Blow them out, and a vine will appear from the top. Grab it mid-air to snag a bunch of goodies, including a puzzle piece.

Just ahead, there's another vine above a Tiki Bomber. Grab onto it, then use the platform to reach the climbable ceiling. Climb all the way to the left, and you'll find a blast barrel that leads to a bonus area. Grab everything in there to get yourself a puzzle piece.

On that same climbable ceiling, if you climb all the way to the right, you'll find the 'O'.

Checkpoint #1

In the next section, you'll encounter three screaming pillars that try to squash you. Ground-pound the middle one to reveal another puzzle piece.

Before you grab the vine at the end of this area, jump down to the right of it. You'll find a puzzle piece chilling there.

Warning: The barrel cannon here is a point of no return! In the next area, you'll need to be quick, jumping from platform to platform before they crumble away beneath you.

Right after the next barrel cannon, you'll see the 'N'. Just jump to grab it, but watch out for the Tiki Zing!

Checkpoint #2

After you go through the big idol's mouth, there's a vase guarded by a Tiki Bomber. Ground-pound in front of the vase to get a puzzle piece.

Just ahead, you'll see the 'G' getting squashed by two screaming pillars. Just ground-pound them to grab the 'G'.

Before you hit the exit barrel, jump off the right side of the platform and grab the vine there. The idol will cough up a puzzle piece.

We're starting this level off with a bang! Right at the beginning, ground-pound underneath the stone idol to your left. It'll start to fall, so quickly run to the right to avoid getting crushed. Once it's down, you can grab the puzzle piece that's now accessible above.

After you use two barrel cannons to enter the temple, ground-pound in front of the yellow bulb to find a puzzle piece.

Hint: Ground-pound the button ahead three times to open up the path.

Once you've navigated the sequence of blast barrels, jump over to the climbable wall on the left. Climb all the way down and to the left to find a puzzle piece.

To get the 'K', head back up to where you were and jump off the Tiki Tank's head to grab the 'K' floating above.

Important: Now, jump into the barrel cannon. You'll need to time your launch so you hit the button above, then immediately launch yourself to the right. The wall will close in on you, so this is a point of no return!

Get ready, because a bunch of Humbees are about to attack! Defeat them all, and a barrel cannon will appear. You'll need to time its rotation to hit all five lights. Do this twice more, and a blast barrel will appear in the center.

In the next barrel cannon section, when you're in the one that moves up and down and fires right, use it at the bottom of its path instead of the top. This will lead you into a bonus area where you'll need to avoid the blast barrel in the middle.

After the bonus area, jump off the stilts and grab the 'O' way overhead.

Checkpoint #1

Follow the climbable ceiling to the left, and ground-pound the yellow bulb to reveal a barrel cannon leading to another bonus area. This time, you'll be in a moving barrel cannon, firing upwards at items.

Now, follow the climbable ceiling to the right. You'll need to hit all four buttons to make the spikes disappear into the wall, opening the path. Fire up to the climbable ceiling to keep moving forward.

Past the two Tiki Torches on the right, you'll notice the very right side of the platform has a climbable floor. Follow it down to find a puzzle piece.

Checkpoint #2

Now, use the climbable ceiling. Hit the button to switch the spikes into a climbable wall, and keep going up. In the next area, you'll need to hit a button at the top-right to change the barrel cannons in the area. Once you have the 'N', fire back up and around in a counter-clockwise direction. Use the new barrel cannons here to get down to a blast barrel in the bottom-right.
