The guide is organized by 1. world and 2. stage. Within each stage, the various golden coins are sorted by what order you reach them within the level. Once you have gotten all the Bonus Coins in a stage, the flag will no longer droop. Once you've gotten the DK coin, a yellow flag will rise. Getting all the golden coins in a stage gets you an exclamation point at the end of the level name. If you feel you absolutely HAVE to tell us something, e-mail us at jmdewar@shaw.ca or drdewar@shaw.ca or AIM us using the names given above. Enjoy! ###MAIN GUIDE### ~~~LAKE ORANGATANGA~~~ --Lakeside Limbo-- BONUS: This first barrel should be in plain sight, just under the area...no problem! Just use Dixie to toss Kiddy upwards and forward slightly to break through the crack in the ground! He'll land in the barrel and you'll go launching to bonus land! Collect 30 Stars: This one's really easy. To start, grab the rope and take the stars there, then float back and forth as Dixie to get the rest. KOIN: This guy is in plain sight, and so is the needed metal barrel. However, hitting this guy in the front won't work; the trick is to bounce the barrel off the wall behind him to hit him in the back! Having done so, claim your first DK coin! BONUS: After your first dip in the ocean, you'll come to a dock. Between this dock and the next one, you can go back into the water. Do so, and swim to the right to reach the bonus barrel. (see: STAGE 2) Collect 15 Bananas: Unlike stars, bananas appear one at a time, and the next one only appears after you've grabbed or missed the current one. There's plenty of time to grab each banana, and in this stage, there's plenty of time even if you miss one or two. Some will be above the rope (grab on and jump), some will be below (press down and jump to get off). After grabbing fifteen, the bonus coin appears. Grab it. --Doorstop Dash-- BONUS: Easy to find, hard to reach. When you reach the first vertical rope of the stage, continue left past it to get to an area with an upside-down door and a ceiling hook too high up to reach with a normal jump. What you have to do is get Kiddy on Dixie's back, and jump. At the height of your jump, throw Kiddy onto the hook. The reason I say to do it this way and not the other way is that only Dixie can then float across and through the door. Past the 1-UP is the bonus barrel. Collect 60 Stars: The room is divided into two portions, each of which contains 30 stars and a hook to open the door between them. Collect the stars in the right room, grab the hook, collect the stars in the left side, grab the other hook, snatch the coin. Easy enough, right? BONUS: After climbing up a rope with a Buzz patrolling it, there will be a choice of going left or right. Go right, avoiding the Buzz there. Grab the hook after the Buzz passes it. When he comes back, jump to the right, and dash through the door to Bonus Land! Find the Coin: Simple enough, right? The trick is that you have to cling from hooks and dodge Buzzes. A LOT easier with Dixie in the lead, as you can just float over the Buzz. Dodge the horizontally-moving Buzz by jumping to the first of its hooks when it is at the other one, then jumping over it and to the second one when it's coming back. Jump then to the next hook before he comes for you again. To avoid the vertical Buzz, jump as it goes down, then jump further, QUICK!! Now grab the coin and RUN!! KOIN: After the last door of the level, you'll come to a pit with a trail of bananas. You'll know it's the right one because you'll actually be travelling downwards...pretty fast, actually. Dixie is recommended if you want to grab the bananas on the way down. In any case, make sure you reach the ledge protruding from the left side, as this is where Koin is. Now, the trick here is that you have to open the door with the hook, then throw the barrel through the door. It should hit Koin in the back, giving you a DK Coin. --Tidal Trouble-- KOIN: Right in plain sight. Throw Dixie onto the roof you start out under and grab the metal barrel. Throw it over the Koin, bounce it off the wall, and claim your prize. BONUS: Right after getting the O, swim backwards under the dock to the Enguard transformation barrel. As Enguard, you will be able to get through the twin Kokos under the bridge and to the bonus barrel. Collect 30 Stars: You're Enguard. You can either swim over the Lurchin (recommended), or kill him when his pink flesh is exposed. Either way, collect all the stars and the coin's yours. BONUS: When you see two red Knick-Knacks flying above the water, bounce off of them and onto the platform above. Jump immediately to dodge the Knocka! You can then use him to kill the Booty Bird and claim a KONG letter. Now, there are two ways to continue from here, both of which are difficult. The way I thought of first is to run up to the edge of the platform as Dixie and jump at the VERY last moment, then float to the barrel. VERY hard. A slightly (very slightly) easier way is to play as Kiddy and roll off the edge of the platform, then jump when you hit the water, performing a "water bounce". Do two of these and you'll see the barrel above you. Jump into it. Should you fail the stage, just hop right back in. Note that if you fail to get to the bonus barrel, you have to exit the level and come back to try again. Sorry. Bash the Baddies: Bounce from Knick-Knack to Knick-Knack on a rope, then jump in the water to get to the bonus coin. Very easy, and even if you fail, all you have to do to get back in is to jump straight up! --Skidda's Row-- BONUS: Right in plain sight. Leap off the top of the hill nearby. Bash the Baddies: Jump on/roll through the four Skiddas. Easy. KOIN: There's a little indent in the ground with him. You should know what to do by now. BONUS: Bounce off the Skiddas on the first roof that has two of them. Unless you have very good timing, you may lose a Kong. Find the Coin: You can dodge the enemies on your way to the right, but I find it much more fun to "bash" them. Collect the coin at the right end of the area. --Murky Mill-- BONUS: After collecting (or missing) the O, there will be a Buzz over top of a trap door. Kill the Buzz with the following Metal Barrel, then go through the trap door. Bash the Baddies: There are four Buzz circling overhead. Just grab the barrel and jump high enough for the Buzz to hit it. KOIN: You'll come to a metal barrel under a lift. Grab the barrel and head right. You'll find Koin under a partial wall. Throw the barrel over the wall with an upward throw. Take the coin. BONUS: After the part where you have to suck the barrel towards you to kill the mouse, you will go down a lift. Head to the left, and you will enter a barrel cannon. At the top there, suck the metal keg towards you and it will fall on a Buzz, giving you free passage to the bonus barrel! Find the Coin: There are two pairs of Buzz circling in the air. Jump over one Buzz to get into each circle and jump over the other to get out. Should be pretty easy. --Belcha's Barn-- BONUS: Get the golden coin by defeating Belcha. ~~~KREMWOOD FOREST~~~ --Barrel Shield Bust-up-- BONUS: When you come across a TNT barrel, grab it and explode on the side wall that you didn't get it from. Find the Coin: Avoid each Minkey in turn by stopping at the place just between each pair's firing range. KOIN: In a gap between two trees, you'll be able to throw Dixie upwards from the right side. Once up there, you'll find a metal barrel on the tree on the left. Throw it from sufficiently far away to hit the Koin. BONUS: When you get to the very top of the trees, you will find a TNT barrel up against the left wall. Lift it up and destroy the wall. If you're playing with Kiddy, switch to Dixie. Climb up the branches through the wall and, as Dixie, float through the holes in the trees to get to the bonus barrel. Grab 15 Bananas: The trick here is to not be hasty. Whenever a banana appears at the other area-between-Minkeys than you're at, wait for the middle Minkey to be between throwing one thing and the next, then GO FOR IT, but be careful not the hit the other Minkeys' weapons! --Riverside Race-- BONUS: From the ledge before the first pool with a tunnel, roll onto the water as Kiddy and bounce twice by pressing B just as you hit the water. If you miss, just try again. You should end up on top of the land with the tunnel, where the bonus barrel is. Grab 15 bananas: This stage is easy. All you have to do is make sure you don't land on the Koko when jumping over him. Even if you lose, you can just head back in by going to the left! BONUS: You'll eventually find a pool of water with an exclamation-mark barrel in the bottom-left. This is an invincibility barrel. Use it to bounce off the red Buzz above the pool and up to the bonus barrel! Bash the Baddies: You have to kill four Rekoils. You can try to jump on their heads just as they land, or you can roll through them. Either method will work. Once killed, they leave behind a golden coin...YAY! KOIN: When you get close to the end, to the point where Brash's record shows up, you will have to jump backwards over the bees and bounce off the water as before to reach an upper ledge with Koin on it. Kill him. --Squeals on Wheels-- BONUS: When you get to a choice between a rope upwards and a path to the left, go left. Kill the Sneek, then jump from the platform's highest point to on top of the Sneek's wheel. Jump from there to the left, and look up for your barrel. Collect 20 stars: You have to grab these stars from atop two wheels with Sneeks in them. However, despite the appearance, these wheels don't try to roll you off. The only tricky star here is the lowest one between the two wheels, for which I recommend rolling off of one and then jumping in midair. BONUS: In an area with two Sneeks, kill them both. Then jump as Kiddy on top of the first wheel. Grab Dixie and throw her onto the second wheel. Then jump from there to the top area, and find the barrel! Collect 15 Bananas: This is also done back and forth on top of Sneek wheels. Remember that it IS safe to stand on top of the wheels! I also recommend holding Y here, for speed. KOIN: Once you get to the Sneek with two green Buzz guarding it, kill them both and jump on top of the wheel. From there, have Kiddy jump and throw Dixie to the ledge above it on the right, where Koin is waiting. --Springin' Spiders-- BONUS: When you get to a cliff-like area between the two trees, jump down to get the Squawks barrel. Using this, you can take a shortcut up between the trees. Fly up through the tree on the right, kill the Buzz at the top of the passage, and fly straight through the tree to get the bonus barrel. Grab 15 Bananas: As Squawks, you'll fly up past a red Buzz to an upper area. There will be a stationary red Buzz which the bananas will appear around. Once you've got all the bananas, wait for the lower Buzz to get out of the way before going down. Hold down to go down quicker. Grab the coin. KOIN: After springing off of a red Nid to an area with a large amount of space overhead, get Dixie on Kiddy's back and jump and throw her onto a tree branch up and to the left, just off the top of the screen. If you miss and hit the red Buzz below, you'll probably both die, so be careful. Once you get up there, throw the barrel up through the hole in the wall, followed by Dixie. After getting the DK coin, use the TNT barrel to get back to the normal path. BONUS: You will come to a purple Nid with a gap to his right. Fall down the gap and you'll land in the bonus barrel. Collect 30 Stars: Jump on the Nid to collect all the stars on the way up the tree, then float as Dixie to collect the ones outside. If Dixie is unavailable, try to jump so you collect two columns at once, then go back up and get the rest. --Bobbing Barrel Brawl-- BONUS: After being launched over a pit with the bonus barrel in it being guarded by a red Buzz, shoot water upward at the Booty Bird, causing it to drop a TNT barrel on the red Buzz, allowing you to enter the bonus barrel. Find the Coin: This bonus stage is very difficult. We have two barrels which we can toss in the water to make it over without being devoured by the Nibbler. Try to toss them to about one-third (throw upwards) and two-thirds (throw long) of the way across. If you fall in the water, JUMP OUT IMMEDIATELY!! You still have a slight chance of survival!! KOIN: The necessary metal barrel is under a pair of red Buzz. Suck it out from a distance with your trunk, then head right. Directly above Koin is a red Buzz. Be careful where you throw that barrel. Throw it past Koin and hit him in the back. BONUS: When you come to running Knick-Knacks, DON'T jump on them! Instead, let them start flying, then bounce off of them and into the lake. Your inertia will counteract the buoyancy sufficiently well to dump you in the bonus barrel. Collect 10 Stars: Easiest bonus stage ever. Just jump from barrel to barrel, and the coin's yours. --Arich's Ambush-- KEY ITEM: Go ahead, trash Arich, you have to to go onwards. Sure, you don't get a golden coin, but at least you get the Patch. Note: The following two world can be done in either order, at your discretion. ~~~COTTON-TOP COVE~~~ --Bazza's Blockade-- BONUS: You'll see some Bazzas floating past below you. Swim between them to get to the first bonus barrel. Find the Coin: Dodge over the first Lurchin before the Bazzas start coming, then swim under everything else, and you'll easily win this stage. BONUS: After swimming up a ways, you'll notice Bazzas coming out of the left side, NOT directly beside you. Swim under them or sacrifice a Kong to enter the stage. Bash the Baddies: You become Enguard. All you have to do is stab the red Kokos with your nose when they're out of their holes. Easy. KOIN: As with all the completely underwater levels, of which this is the first, the coin is hidden at the end, near the flag, in the only above-water area. Run past the flag, then jump over Koin to get the metal barrel. Then stand on top of Koin's shield and throw the barrel at the wall to kill him right out from underneath you. --Rocket Barrel Ride-- BONUS: At some point, you'll come across a rocket barrel with a Buzz near the point you come out. Hold left and Y to bounce across a trail of Knick-Knacks to the bonus barrel. Collect 20 Stars: The time limit is very short, so be sure to get the stars at the edge of each platform as well as the ones in the middle. Probably the only way you'll fail this stage is if you don't know about those. BONUS: Right after the No-Parry sign, jump over the barrel behind the falls and continue right. Go down to the bonus barrel. Collect 40 Stars: The basic procedure is to jump in, collect the stars on the left, fall back in, collect the stars on the right, fall back in, then blast to the next barrel. Do this until you've gotten all the stars. KOIN: Right near the flag, you'll find a metal barrel and an automatic blast barrel. From below the blast barrel, throw the metal barrel UP (so it won't roll very fast), then jump in the blast barrel. You should land on the other side of Koin so that he'll get hit in the back by the metal barrel you just threw. :P --Kreeping Klasps-- BONUS: While climbing across a rope, you'll notice two Buzz flying back and forth above it. Jump between them when they go out and immediately again from there to enter the bonus barrel. Grab 15 Bananas: Make sure you remember to hold down when jumping from the upper rope to the lower rope and you'll be fine. BONUS: You'll come to a Klasp going back and forth on a long rope above two Klasps going back and forth on shorter ropes below it. From the center of the long rope, jump down between the two lower Klasps just as they separate, then jump down again into a blast barrel that will send you into the bonus barrel. Find the Coin: All you gotta do is avoid the Klasps, just like you've been doing the whole level. KOIN: Run past the flag and grab the metal barrel from in the little shack, then run back to Koin and stand on him, throwing the barrel at the wall, to kill him out from under you. --Tracker Barrel Trek-- BONUS: After shooting up through a ledge with a tracker barrel, use Dixie to float as far right as you can. You'll land in a bonus barrel. Collect 70 Stars: Should be easy, just try and get as many stars at a time as you can, and be sure to get all the stars between the tracker barrels. BONUS: Right after transforming into Ellie, you'll come across a ledge where you can go into a tracker barrel behind the waterfall, from which you can get to a bonus stage guarded by two Buzz. Kill the Buzz with water from the waterfall and enter. Bash the Baddies: Use the tracker barrels to launch yourself on top of the various Knick-Knacks. Simple. KOIN: You only get one shot at this one, because the needed barrel is gotten by transforming back from Ellie. DO NOT LET THE BARREL GET OFF THE SCREEN OR IT WILL DISAPPEAR!! Walk just far enough to the left on the bridge across that the wall you need to bounce the barrel off is in sight. Throw the metal barrel UPWARDS so it will go slowly, then, after it bounces off the wall, run to the point on the bridge directly above Koin, so that he will look upwards. --Fish Food Frenzy-- BONUS: You will reach a point where you have to choose between going left and going right past a Lurchin. Go right. The barrel is in plain sight. Hey, that rhymes...oh, and try not to eat the Lurchin, or your "buddy" will get hungry. Grab 15 Bananas: The bananas appear in a screen-sized, square area with no evil fish to annoy you. Just swim around collecting them, easy as pie. BONUS: The last Lurchin of the level is guarding a bonus barrel. The only way to get to it besides sacrificing a Kong is to feed it to your "pal", so you'd better hope it's not very hungry... Bash the Baddies: Have your "friend" eat all the Kokos in the plus-shaped area, then grab the coin. KOIN: From the platform with the flag, jump and throw Dixie towards the higher ledge on the left. Now take the metal barrel and KILL KOIN!! --Squirt's Showdown-- KEY ITEM: Beat Squirt to get...one ski. Oh joy. ~~~MEKANOS~~~ --Fire-ball Frenzy-- BONUS: After going back and forth down a series of platforms, go into the cavern in the left and either float across as Dixie to get into the bonus barrel or roll off then jump as either Kong. Bash the Baddies: You become Squitter for this stage, and have to kill a bunch of Buzz. Remember his keys: B is still Jump, Y is an attack web, and A makes or opens a platform web. This is critical for hitting the higher Buzz. BONUS: Just to the left of the Karbos that shoots 3 fireballs at a time is a lift just out of reach. You need to throw Dixie up there to reach it. From on the lift, roll and jump to the right between Karbos' many shots to get to the bonus barrel. Grab 15 Bananas: This bonus stage is marginally easier if you know that you can run past the fireballs after they bounce off the ground. Dodge the fireballs and grab those bananas before they disappear! KOIN: After the fast upward lift, jump to the ledge on the right from the one on the left to find Koin. Dodge the shots from Karbos as you go to grab the metal barrel, then stand on top of Koin as you throw it at the wall. --Demolition Drain-pipe-- BONUS: Part way along the track, you'll come to a pair of Buzz with a banana above the second. Jump on the Buzz and touch the banana to enter the stage. Bash the Baddies: To hit every Knick-Knack, you'll have to jump around with perfect timing, but there's not that many of them at least. Remember that down + jump = get down off rail. BONUS: After a hole in the ground with a garbage can on each side and a hole in the ground with a Knick-Knack above it, you'll see a hole in the ground with a banana. Try not to bounce off the Knick-Knack, as this will get you attached to the ceiling. Grab the banana. Collect 20 Stars: This is a lot like the previous Bash the Baddies, in that you have to fall on both Buzz to get all the stars. Remember, down + jump = downward jump. KOIN: Right at the end. Easily spotted, easily killed. --Ripsaw Rage-- BONUS: After running far left and a little bit back right, you'll come to a wooden barrel. Use it to kill the Buzz, which is guarding the bonus barrel. Find the Coin: Ignore the timer here, since the ripsaw chasing you sets a much lower limit. Hold Y. That's all I can say. BONUS: After running right a long way, then left a long way, you'll be able to grab a steel crate from a corner. Use it to take out the Buzz on the right and get to the second bonus barrel. Grab 15 Bananas: You're invincible here, standing on the ripsaw! This is pretty cool, but it impairs walking due to the back-and-forth motion, so jump everywhere! KOIN: Right near the end of the level, right past the exit of the second bonus stage, you'll climb along the left wall next to a tree with a gap in the ground that has a banana in it. Run into that gap and a blast barrel will launch you into another blast barrel which will launch you into an invincibility barrel! Now ride the ripsaw up to the top of the tree. Grab the metal barrel and jump onto the branch above Koin. Throw the barrel from there to kill him. --Blazing Bazukas-- BONUS: You should see a TNT barrel, followed shortly by a TNT barrel-shooting Bazuka. Use the TNT barrel to kill the Bazuka, then hop in the Squitter barrel he was standing in. If you mess up with the TNT barrel, just stand on his gun, on the left side, and you should be able to enter the Squitter barrel anyway. In any case, use Squitter to get up through a gap in the roof just above where the TNT barrel was. Use attack shots to keep yourself from being hit on your way to the bonus barrel, and enter the bonus stage. Find the Coin: Use platform webs to cross the gap, shooting the Buzz that get in your way. KOIN: You should still be Squitter after the bonus stage. After being launched up by a blast barrel, fall half-way back down to a ledge on the left. Use platform barrels to cross the gap on the left, then hit the barrel with an "S" on it to change it and the Bazuka's barrels into metal barrels. Cross back with more platform webs so that Koin will not be looking at the metal barrels. BONUS: After using delayed blast barrels to shoot up past two Bazukas and land on the second one, float as Dixie from the platform above to get to the bonus barrel on the left. Find the Coin: Blast from the barrel between shots from the Bazuka and try to land on one of the barrels. From there, hold Y to get from one to the next, all the way to the other side. If you land in front of the Bazuka, JUMP! Claim your prize. ---Low-G Labyrinth-- BONUS: At the second place with three Buzz aligned vertically, put Dixie on Kiddy's back, leap above the Buzz, and at the height of your jump, throw Dixie upwards. She should land in the bonus barrel. You can also get into this bonus stage after becoming Squawks. Collect 80 Stars: This is a simple matter of jump up through one column, fall down through another, jump up through the next column, fall down through one more, etc. BONUS: As the purple Squawks, fly past a slow-moving green Buzz and grab a TNT barrel. With the TNT barrel in the wall behind you, fly back down past the Buzz. Destroy the lower Buzz and go past where it was. If you fail to hit the Buzz with the TNT barrel, you'll need either exceptional timing or an expendable Kong...or both. Bash the Baddies: For the endurance of the bonus stage you become green Squawks. You must spit eggs at all the green Buzz on your way up and down the pipeline, then collect the coin at the bottom. Make sure you're holding up or down while moving in that direction to go faster. KOIN: When you come to the first No-Squawks sign, DO NOT go past it. Instead, use the returning barrel down below to kill the Buzz to the left and go past them. The upper No-Squawks sign will yield a metal barrel with which to kill Koin. If you miss with this barrel, use the reappearing one on the ledge above instead. --Kaos Karnage-- KEY ITEM: For defeating Kaos you get...a single ski. You need two skis before Funky can use them. The other one comes from Squirt in Cotton-Top Cove. ~~~K3~~~ --Krevice Kreepers-- BONUS: You'll get up to a rope with a Klasp on it. When the Klasp chases you, flee to the right, then jump onto the upper rope, dash past the Klasp, and drop back down, dashing to the left in order to get to the blast barrel that will send you into the bonus barrel. Collect 30 Stars: Klasp will chase you as you try to grab stars. Float past him as Dixie or jump over him as Kiddy and you should be able to grab all the stars in a few rounds. Be sure to hold Y at all times. KOIN: Right after the second vertical rope, you'll find a path to the left housing a metal barrel and Koin. You HAVE to be Kiddy to throw the barrel correctly. Stand just as far under the ledge Koin's on as you can without hitting your head on it. Jump, and at the height of your jump, throw the barrel, then immediately hit Y again and run to the left. If you're fast enough, the barrel will kill Koin. Take the DK coin as your prize. BONUS: Right after climbing past three Klasps in a row, you'll have a choice of going into an arrow barrel, or into a little cave with the N in it. In the gap with the N, toss Dixie up and to the right to get to an area with a Knocka and the bonus barrel. Find the Coin: Lure each Klasp to the far side of the rope, then climb as fast as you can to the other side of the rope. As soon as you're completely out from under the Klasp, jump twice while still moving to the side in order to get safely to the next free rope. Make sure you're going left to right on the second one. Be really careful since these Klasps are really fast. I shouldn't need to say this, but HOLD Y AT ALL TIMES! Also, it may help to know that Klasps have trouble turning around... --Tearaway Toboggan-- BONUS: Right at the beginning you'll see a manual blast barrel. Aim it down and to the right instead of straight right and you'll enter the barrel. Bash the Baddies: As Kiddy, throw Dixie into each Knick-Knack to kill them all. That's why there's a DK barrel there, in the stage! BONUS: Right after the one, two, and then three Skiddas in a row to bounce off of, you'll find some houses patrolled by Buzz. You're forced to jump on the first house to not crash. The second house you can go in front of. Tap the B button in order to not jump onto the house, but to still go over the Buzz and into the bonus barrel. Collect 50 Stars: Look at the path of stars ahead of time in order to determine whether to jump onto each house or go in front of it. The pattern is: ON, ON, IN FRONT, ON. KOIN: After you get off the toboggan using the arrow barrel, you'll find a reappearing metal barrel. First kill the Booty Bird to get some bananas, then carry the barrel past the flag to get to Koin. Stand on his shield and throw the barrel. You'll fall onto the coin. --Barrel Drop Bounce-- KOIN: After the very first upward blast barrel, jump and float to the right as Dixie to get to the metal barrel. Face the nearby wall and throw it upwards to make it roll slower. Ride it down the hill, and jump off and forward at the last moment to kill Koin. Then, after taking the DK coin, float back to the left. BONUS: Right next to the area where you met Koin, you'll see two waterfall barrels in a row. After jumping across them, jump back onto the second one when it comes again and float from there to the bonus barrel. Grab 15 Bananas: The bananas will appear in various locations surrounding the two falling barrels. Some must be missed in order to prevent plummeting off the cliff, so don't go too far out of your way to get them and you should be fine. BONUS: Right before the manual blast barrel that blasts you onto a floating barrel, float right with Dixie to land on a floating barrel from which you can jump to the bonus barrel. Find the Coin: You have to climb straight up a waterfall by jumping back and forth between barrels on the left and right. Don't stop jumping and you should be able to make it. --Krack-Shot Kroc-- BONUS: Shortly after the first slime pit, there will be a dent in the ceiling. Use platform webs to go up it and into the bonus barrel. Collect 15 Bananas: Try to have two platform webs out at all times so that when one disappears, you can replace it with another. It shouldn't be too hard since you don't have to dodge Krack-Shot Kroc in here. BONUS: At some point after climbing a vertical tunnel, you'll find an area with a red Buzz patrolling above you. Use platform webs to go up past the Buzz to a bonus barrel. Bash the Baddies: This is by far my favorite bonus stage, because you actually get to play as Krack-Shot Kroc! The arrows move the targeter, and the A button fires. Your objective is to kill eight Rekoils in the four corners and two Buzz making a circle around the center of the area where the bonus coin will appear. Once it appears, shoot it to collect it. KOIN: Koin is in plain sight. The only problem is that you can't get a second chance; Squitter turns into the needed metal barrel. --Lemguin Lunge-- BONUS: Right at the beginning of the level, there is a red Buzz right below an off-screen bonus barrel. Throw Dixie upwards at an angle to get her past the red Buzz. If she hits the Buzz, she'll die, so watch out! Find the Coin: Jump over Lemguins or bounce from one to another as you proceed to the right, and grab the coin. KOIN: Stand on top of Koin and throw the metal barrel to the left. Very easy. BONUS: Right after the G, there's a shack with the bonus barrel in plain sight under it. The only problem is the Lemguins dashing past the shack in quick succession, so you'll have to come from the right side to get it. Collect 30 Stars: You shouldn't have much difficulty grabbing the stars and dodging the Lemguins. Grab the coin. --Bleak's House-- BONUS: Beat Bleak. Grab the bonus coin. Easy? Depends how much practice you got in at Swanky's. Of course, Swanky wasn't firing back at you... ~~~RAZOR RIDGE~~~ --Buzzer Barrage-- BONUS: The first time you're going down, instead go right and grab the wooden crate. Face left, and drop it at a time when the red Buzz is out of the way to kill the green Buzz, allowing access to the bonus barrel. Bash the Baddies: You have to use the same wooden barrel to kill three Buzz that are circling above your starting position, three Buzz in holes in the ground, and one Buzz wandering back and forth at the upper-right of the area. KOIN: Right after the large room with many Buzz, there will be an area in the left side of the ceiling where you must expertly dodge a pair of Kopters to get up to the metal barrel which you will then use to kill the two Buzz on the right side so that you can get down. Then use the metal barrel to kill Koin while floating fairly high above him and take his "shield". BONUS: Right before the flag, there's a Kopter hovering between two holes in the ceiling. You can actually bounce off his head and survive. If you bounce up the right hole, you can get some bananas and lives. Bouncing up the left side gets you the bonus barrel. Collect 40 Stars: There are two columns of stars with a Kopter hovering between them. Bounce off the Kopter's head while holding Y to get the stars from each column. It will take a few tries for each side. --Kong-Fused Cliffs-- BONUS: After two Buzz flying in and out of ledges, there will be a banana on a ledge followed by two Buzz circling a center area next to each other. EITHER A) Jump to the banana and jump repeatedly in order to scale the ledge or B) Float over the two Buzz as Dixie along the trail of bananas. Find the Coin: Use the arrow barrels to get you past the Buzz in your escape from the flaming rope. The arrow barrels alternate sides, and are far easier to get into as Kiddy since you don't even have to jump off the rope to reach them as him. Be careful not to go too fast, though, or you'll hit the top of the screen and be pushed into a Buzz... BONUS: Right after the three Buzz in a row that go back and forth past the rope, float as Dixie to the right to enter the barrel. Find the Coin: Starting on the left, alternate left and right to dodge all the Kopters. KOIN: When you get to the end don't get off the rope at the first opportunity, but rather ride it all the way to the top and jump off to the left. Grab the metal barrel and throw it to the left. It'll bounce off a wall off-screen and roll into the tunnel below you and hit the Koin, who was hiding there. Drop off on either side and enter the tunnel to claim your prize. --Floodlit Fish-- BONUS: After the first pair of Lurchins guarding a tunnel, on your way down, you'll see three red Kokos going in and out of tunnels on the sides of the area. Go right past the third one to get to the bonus barrel. Collect 90 Stars: The stars are arranged in a pseudo-circular shape in the area. What can I say? Just grab them! BONUS: Right before the G (you can backtrack if necessary), there are a couple Lurchins guarding a path straight down. Dodge or kill them (killing recommended), and enter the bonus barrel. Collect 40 Stars: Just follow the path of stars without missing any and the bonus coin will be yours. KOIN: Easily spotted at the end of the level. Jump to the left to grab the needed barrel, then throw it into the wall behind him. --Pot Hole Panic-- BONUS: Make sure you still have Ellie when you get to the second pool of water. Swim to the left. When you jump to get the N, press X at the height of your jump to jump off Ellie and into the bonus barrel. Collect 20 Stars: You get Ellie back. You have to use the same skill you used to enter here to get the various stars. BONUS: Make sure you don't lose Squitter either. You have to use his platform webs to climb up into the area where the Kachuka is throwing bombs at you from. You'll know it's the right place because there is only one Kachuka in the Squitter section. Collect 15 Bananas: Pretty easy, just remember to dodge Kachuka's bombs every couple bananas. KOIN: Right after the No-Squitter sign but right before the flag, throw Dixie to and overhead ledge, then throw her again to get to the metal barrel. Jump down to Koin's ledge and stand on his shield. While on his shield, hold down and release the barrel. Because it fell a short distance, it will roll and kill him. YAY! --Ropey Rumpus-- BONUS: Right after the first upward climb, you'll find a TNT barrel on the ledge you'll get to. Grab it and leap off, HOLDING RIGHT. By doing so, you will dodge all the Buzz on the way back down and blow a hole in the wall when you land, allowing access to the bonus barrel. Find the Coin: Just climb past each Buzz when it's just gone past and you'll have no trouble at all in this level. If you fail, just use the TNT barrel to reenter. KOIN: Right after the two Buzz flying in a loop around a hunk of rock, jump down into a pit on the left and you'll find the metal barrel and Koin. Kill Koin. BONUS: When you get Parry, MAKE SURE HE LIVES. He creates the second bonus barrel at the No-Parry sign. Grab 15 Bananas: This is a tricky one. Two slow-moving Buzz patrol this area, hindering travel from one side to the other. Careful when passing them, and remember to hold Y for speed and hold down and jump to get the bonus coin. --Barbos's Barrier-- BONUS: Play as Enguard against a giant Lurchin. Victory nets you a bonus coin. ~~~KAOS KORE~~~ --Konveyor Rope Klash-- BONUS: Below the first conveyor rope that you don't have to ride all the way across to get safely onto the ground, a little to the left. Collect 30 Stars: Make sure you collect all the stars hidden in the trees, including the one hidden in the upper-left corner. Grab the coin. BONUS: Jump off to the left from the first conveyor rope with two Buzz circling each other. It's hidden in the trees. Collect 15 Bananas: Just remember, upper rope to go left, lower rope to go right. Hold down to switch from upper to lower. KOIN: Koin is just past the G. Stand on top of Koin and hurl the barrel to the right. --Creepy Caverns-- No, there isn't supposed to be K's, the game really does spell it with C's. But that's not the point...ooh, ghost barrels! BONUS: Right after the first ghost barrel that shoots you up between two red Buzz or into one, get Dixie on Kiddy's back and jump to the left, past the automatic blast barrel, throwing Dixie upwards as you pass it in order to reach the ledge on the left, from which you can reach a bonus stage. Once on the left ledge, throw Dixie upwards again to reach the barrel. Collect 50 Stars: Try to jump in the ghost barrel only when it's straight up. Jumping in at other times will only waist precious time. BONUS: Shortly after the first bonus barrel, you'll come across a wooden barrel and a Krumple. DO NOT use the barrel to kill the Krumple, but rather step on him with Kiddy. Use the barrel instead to kill the Buzz just ahead. Throw Dixie past his location in order to collect Squitter, who you will need to reach the next bonus barrel. Not too long after collecting Squitter, you'll come across an area in the ceiling where ghost barrels alternate left and right sides, always shooting downwards. You have to use platform webs to get up past all of them to the bonus barrel. Tricky stuff. Find the Coin: Use platform webs and good timing to get past the red Buzz and ghost barrels. If you fail, cover the gap with a platform web to get back to the bonus barrel. KOIN: You'll know you're there when you find the only metal barrel of the level. Jump into the ghost barrel at a time when it is NOT there and quickly throw the metal barrel upwards. After the ghost barrel shoots you out, quickly jump past or onto Koin to get him killed. --Lightning Look-out-- BONUS: Swim down the water right below the O. Bash the Baddies: Basically, just kill the Knick-Knacks. You don't need to worry about lightning striking while you're in the water because it is mysteriously absent from this place... KOIN: You will come across two Booty Birds, one on which is under a red Buzz. Have the lightning strike the one that's out in the open, then use the wooden barrel from that to chase the other Booty Bird away. Use the metal barrel from the second one to kill Koin in the usual manner. BE CAREFUL NOT TO LET THE LIGHTNING KILL EITHER BARREL!! BONUS: The bonus barrel is in plain sight above a pool with three barrels in it. You could throw Dixie upwards as Kiddy, but it's much easier to just float in from the shore as Dixie. Collect 15 Bananas: The only obstacle here is lightning. Don't get struck by it and you'll be fine. --Koindozer Klamber-- Ah, finally a Koin (well, Koindozer, actually) who isn't afraid to come rushing up to you...oh, wait, that's a bad thing... BONUS: Right after the first Bazuka of the level, jump off the rope to the left to get into the bonus barrel, which is mostly hidden by trees. Collect 30 Stars: You've got to grab the stars from above and between Koindozers on small platforms, so I recommend using Dixie. This not only helps to get the stars, but also to land safely on the Koindozers. Also, make sure you don't miss the star hidden in the trees above the second Koindozer. BONUS: This barrel's in plain sight, right before the first Rekoil of the level. Jump onto the Koindozer and throw whatever character you aren't up and into the barrel. Collect 15 Bananas: Because of her ability to float and therefore land more accurately on top of the Koindozers, Dixie is recommended for this stage. KOIN: You'll see Koin being shot in the back with wooden barrels, which can't harm it. As soon as you get across the cliff, jump off the rope to the left and float back with Dixie. Just as you start on your way across, you'll hit a barrel switch which will change the wooden barrels to metal barrels. --Poisonous Pipeline-- Reversed keys...ugh. Oh, and you'll notice that before each battle with Kaos, you have to go through a pipeline with weird stuff in it? BONUS: After swimming over a downward pipe, there will be a red Koko swimming fast between two Lurchins. Swim past the Koko to get to the bonus barrel. Remember to hold Y, and don't you DARE forget that left and right are reversed! Bash the Baddies: The first three seconds of this stage will automatically be wasted transforming into Enguard. The only tricky part here is that your keys are still reversed. Oh, and being Enguard really helps with the rest of the stage. :P BONUS: Right near the end of the level, when you get a choice between going up and left past some hard-to-dodge Lurchins, go past the Lurchins to reach the bonus barrel. Collect 30 Stars: All you have to do is swim in a circle. Not quite as easy as it sounds because of reversed controls, but easy nonetheless. KOIN: Just above where you came out of the second bonus stage, as far as you can go to the left of the flag, is a metal barrel, and Koin. Grab the metal barrel, jump on top of Koin's shield, then jump as high as you can and throw the barrel. If you jump high enough, it should be able to come back and hit Koin. --Kastle Kaos-- BONUS: Beat Kaos again, followed by Baron K. Roolenstine. This time you have to use barrels to hit Kaos... ~~~KREMATOA~~~ The secret to entering this "lost world" is to circle around the four stones sticking out of the water in a clockwise direction with relative speed. If you're fast enough, and are going in the right direction, around the right rocks, then the Lost World of Krematoa will rise out of the ocean! Now that you're in here, you need Bonus Coins to get to the actual levels: 15 coins for each of the first four, and 25 for the last one. You may be thinking, "but I don't have that many bonus coins yet!" Thing is, the first four stages have bonus coins in them that are needed to reach the final stage... --Stampede Sprint-- BONUSES: The first two bonus barrels are right at the beginning of the level. Use Kiddy to throw Dixie into them. Grab 15 Bananas: The barrel on the right is a grab 15 bananas stage where you use Squawks to fly around red Buzz and grab bananas. The barrel on the left is also of this variety, but in this one, you use Squitter to help you. It is recommended to do the left stage first. BONUS: Surprised? You shouldn't be. Only in Krematoa will you find levels with three bonus barrels. They had to in order to have the final "Boomer's Special" cost an even 25 bonus coins. Keep Parry alive throughout the whole level by jumping whenever you're about to go under a red Buzz. Parry becomes the bonus barrel. Grab 15 Bananas: DO NOT get Parry killed!! You can run under the red Buzz, but make sure to hold Y and get a running start when you have to jump Parry over it for a banana. If you lose Parry, you leave the stage. It's impossible to get back in. KOIN: Changing back from Ellie will give you a metal barrel to kill Koin with. Run past the flag and throw it over him, killing him in the usual manner. COG: Simply grab the flag and a cog will pop off. You'll see why you need them later. If you've already gotten the cog, you'll get a bear coin instead. --Criss Kross Cliffs-- BONUS: At the first gap of the level, jump over the two red Buzz to get to the bonus stage. Grab 15 Bananas: Any time you have to move from side to side, make sure the Bazooka has already fired and isn't just about to. KOIN: After getting the G and ascending once more, jump down past the barrels and hold right to get to Koin, as well as a switch to change the barrels. BONUS: In the second large gap in the walls, go to the right and throw Dixie upwards and into the bonus barrel just off the top of the screen. Bash the Baddies: Bounce off the Bazooka's barrels to the top off the area, then bounce back down off the four Knick-Knacks on the left, then bounce back up and kill the Knick-Knack on the right to make the bonus coin appear. Take it. COG: You get the second cog the same way as the first one. Huzzah. --Tyrant Twin Tussle-- After the first Kuff & Klout, throw Dixie into a gap in the ceiling in order to turn into Squitter. Now you can kill Kuff & Klout! :D KOIN: Right after the O, ascend the wide gap in the ceiling to come across Koin, and a Bazuka that's not quite successfully shooting him. Partially bridge the gap that the Bazuka's shots roll into to have them roll further, into Koin. BONUS: Right after grabbing the DK coin, go over the Bazuka and into the gap behind him for the bonus barrel. Collect 40 Stars: This is designed to be possible as Dixie and Kiddy, but it's soooo much easier as Squitter. Just kill Kuff & Klout and reach for the stars! BONUS: After the second set of Kuff & Klout after the No-Squitter sign, throw Dixie up towards a gap in the ceiling to get into a spinning blast barrel. Above you, you will see Kuff & Klout jumping back and forth. If you were to explore more thoroughly, you'd find a TNT barrel on the left and two red Buzz guarding a bonus barrel on the right. The objective is to kill one of the Buzz with the TNT barrel. You have to launch yourself up when Kuff & Klout are on the right side of the gap, then grab the TNT barrel and bring it closer to the gap, then SET IT DOWN. Let Kuff & Klout jump over you, then pick up the barrel again and use it! Find the Coin: Chase the twins into the tunnel, and jump over them to get to the middle. Repeat for the space in between the two pairs, and for the next pair. This is tougher than it sounds, and so is getting into this stage in the first place... BONUS: Go right past the flag and grab the floating banana to enter this invisible barrel. Grab 15 Bananas: Try not to stand in the middle or sides of the area, and the tyrant twins shouldn't jump on you. On the other hand, if they do get you, you could always try again. COG: Grab the flag. --Swoopy Salvo-- BONUS: When you come across the first red Buzz of the stage, go straight down the tree trunk and you'll enter the bonus barrel. Find the Coin: There's three Swoopies that will dive at you and peck themselves into the wall. For each one, jump to make it notice you, then either float across or rolling jump across to get on top of it. After climbing the three Swoopies, jump in the blast barrel and you'll hit the coin! BONUS: Later on, you'll see an area between two trees where you can go up fairly far. Go up and you'll see Swoopies flying out of a large hole in the left wall. Go through that hole, attacking Swoopies with eggs as necessary. Right above there, you'll see two red Buzz circling a banana and an invisible bonus barrel. To get past the Buzz, float above them and hold down right after one goes past you. Grab 15 Bananas: Swoopies will alternate flying from upper-left to lower-right and flying from upper-right to lower-left. Make sure you don't go past an area where a Swoopy is about to come out of, and you should be fine. KOIN: Right after exiting or bypassing the second bonus stage, you'll come to an alternate No-Squawks sign. Jump down from there onto Koin's shield and throw the barrel to the left. BONUS: After two Swoopies that stab themselves into the wall for you, you'll come across a line of Swoopies diving from the upper-left of the area between the trees into the next area. Jump on one's head and bounce across them to the left to get into the bonus barrel. Grab 20 Stars: There is a DK barrel in this bonus stage because you need to, as Kiddy, throw Dixie up into the stars. Pretty low time limit, but you didn't get this far on luck alone. COG: Complete the level. Yaaaaay. --Rocket Rush-- You ever notice how your keys are reversed in the level before each fight with Baron K. Roolenstine? This level can be tricky...just be glad there's no bonus barrels in it!! KOIN: After completing the rocket section with the reversed keys, you should end up beside a tall ledge with Koin on it. Grab the metal barrel. Head back to the left. Jump forward and, at the height of your jump, throw the metal barrel up and over Koin (that's UP and over, not LEFT and over). Ta-da! One dead Koin. Claim the DK coin, and exit the stage. COG: You haven't figured this out by now?? Just complete the level for your final cog! --Knautilus-- KOIN: Okay, so you don't fight Koin for this one, but rather Baron K. Roolenstine, but the prize is the same. After beating him, claim your final DK coin and go buy the Gyrocopter!!...unless, of course, this one turns out not to be your final one, in which case you should go back and see which levels don't have a yellow flag, enter these levels, and use this guide to find and defeat Koin! ###BANANA BIRD GUIDE### Yes, as an added bonus, we now have a Banana Bird Guide! YAY!! The object of the Banana Bird caves is to win a short game of Simon Says. For example, if the computer goes X-Y-A-B, you have to go X-Y-A-B. The crystals are positioned in the same places as the buttons on your controller. After collecting larger numbers of Banana Birds, the games get longer. Bounty Beach: Just outside Funky's Rentals, you'll find a patch of beach you can reach with any boat. Barnacle's Island: First buy the shell from Bazaar's General Store, then bring it here and trade it for the bird. Smuggler's Cove: Swim under the second bridge in Lake Orangatanga and go to the small area of beach to find this area. Arich's Hoard: Beat the record in Riverside Race (01:15:00), then go talk to Brash. He'll get really mad and cause the area to shake, making a log fall in the river. Run across the log from Bobbing Barrel Brawl to this area. Kong Cave: After you get the hovercraft, ride past a set of rocks below Funky's Rentals, then you'll see another set of rocks guarding a patch of beach. Go over them to this area. Bounty Bay: In the first lake of Cotton-Top Cove, swim straight up from where you come in to get here. Undercover Cove: After getting the Turbo Ski, go up the waterfall past Kong Cave to get here. Glacial Grotto: Push UP from Lemguin Lunge to get to Blizzard's Basecamp, then push left. Sky-High Secret: Visit Blizzard to get a present for Blue. Give the present to Blue in Cotton-Top Cove, and he'll give it back after opening it, because he has no use for a bowling ball that's too heavy for him. However, if you take the bowling ball to Bazuka's Barracks, in Mekanos, he'll launch you up to this stage. Clifftop Cache: Buy the mirror from Bazaar's General Store for 50 bear coins, then head to Barter's Swap Shop and trade it for the wrench. You'll be able to buy it back for 10 bear coins later. Bring the wrench to Bjorn's Chairlifts in Razor Ridge and he'll fix his ski lift, allowing access to this stage. Bramble's Bungalow: Any time after completing Razor Ridge, head right from here to collect a flower, then head back here and enter. Give it to the nice man who doesn't know a thing about the Genus/Species classification system, and take the p "Bananus Goldenus Flutterus". Sewer Stockpile: In Kaos Kore, Baffle is trying hard to solve a code. You can give the mirror to him, but it's not necessary in order to get the banana bird. It just tells you how. If you DO give it away, he'll end up talking backwards. o.O Anyways, do a figure 8 around the two stones in the lake, starting at the top of the left one and heading right to open the sewer gate. Enter it. After getting the Gyrocopter, you can access these last three, in any order: Belcha's Burrow: Hidden in the hill almost straight south of Bazaar's General Store. K's Kache: Hidden on the little island in the lake you can't access with a boat. Hill-Top Hoard: In the upper-right corner of the map, above Razor Ridge. After getting all the Banana Birds, head back to Wrinkly's Save Cave and watch a cool little demo...oh, and your game is automatically saved. Also, don't press anything until Cranky and Funky are done their routine...trust me, you'll know when that is. ###LEGAL### This guide may not be reproduced under any circumstances except for personal, private use.
