Master Part 25 of Donkey Kong Country Returns with our comprehensive guide, detailing walkthroughs for Mangoruby Run and Blast & Bounce, plus puzzle piece locations.
This guide covers Part 25 of Donkey Kong Country Returns, focusing on the levels Mangoruby Run and Blast & Bounce. It includes walkthroughs for collecting puzzle pieces and defeating the Mangoruby boss.
Walkthrough: Mangoruby Run
- The first puzzle piece is found after a gate. Roll-jump below a spiked platform.
- After moving pillars, ground-pound below the 'O' to reveal a mushroom that bounces you to a climbable ceiling.
- In the section with crushing pillars, jump into a broken section to reach the 'N' puzzle piece.
- After the 'N', walk left to find a hidden area with a puzzle piece.
- Before the next gate, go down and around through bushes to find a puzzle piece.
- The final puzzle piece, 'G', is obtained by launching left from the third blast barrel in the last section.
Boss Fight: Mangoruby
The Mangoruby fight requires you to ground-pound blue, triangular switches on climbable surfaces. Once all switches are activated, jump on the Mangoruby's body to score a hit. Touching the Mangoruby before hitting the switches results in an electric shock. The Mangoruby will chase you and drop electric bombs that create shockwaves. Each hit makes the Mangoruby faster and more aggressive with bomb drops.
Walkthrough: Blast & Bounce
- At the start, drop between the first two barrel cannons after the tiki buzzes to find a puzzle piece and a barrel to return to the main path.
- During a barrel cannon sequence, fire up and right from the top-right barrel to reach a puzzle piece.
- After bouncing on tiki buzzes, perform a full bounce off the higher tiki in a stack above a blast barrel to get a puzzle piece.
- In a section with tires, wait for the timing to pass under a puzzle piece guarded by two tiki zings, then bounce over the tiki zing as it passes.
- From the second barrel cannon after a short set of tires, fire from the top of the trajectory to get a puzzle piece and skip the next barrel cannon.
- The final puzzle piece is claimed in the last section after navigating a series of interlocking moving barrel cannons.
- Time your barrel fire to avoid tiki zings. Focus on timing the more complex barrel, as the simpler one will often have similar timing.
- In the section with tires, you can stay on them as long as needed to plan your next move.
- When navigating interlocking barrel cannons, fire when the tiki zing has just passed the barrel you are in, moving in the same direction you intend to fire.
