DK Isles
DONKEY KONG'S BANANAS - DK ISLES
#1 - IN FRONT OF JUNGLE JAPES
This is the first golden banana that you can possibly get. After you
watch the introduction, you will begin in Donkey's treehouse. Exit this
place and fall to the ground. Go over to Cranky's Lab and talk to him.
Then go to the four training barrels and complete them all (if you need
help with this then you really, truly are bad). Return to Cranky and he
will give you the "Simian Slam" ability. Go to the switch in the tunnel
and use the simian slam on it to open the way out. Exit this place and
swim across the water to K. Lumsy's island. After he talks to you,
you'll agree to save him and he will start jumping around like a madman.
This insane jumping shakes the whole island and opens up the entrance to
Jungle Japes (the first level). Right at the entrance, you will find
your first golden banana.
#2 - ACTIVATE THE ELEVATOR IN FRANTIC FACTORY
Go to the "lobby" of Frantic Factory (the place where the Wrinkly Kongs
are). There's a switch at the side. Pull the switch with the gorilla
grab to activate the nearby elevator. Use the elevator to go to the
second floor where you'll find the Wrinkly Doors for Diddy, Tiny, and
Lanky, as well as a bongo pad! You know what to do, stand on the pad and
play Donkey's instrument. Squawks comes and gives you a golden banana.
#3 - SHOOT A SWITCH...OPEN A GATE
Climb K. Rool's "boat-island" until you get to the place where you swing
across the vines to get to Snide's HQ. But instead of swinging on the
vines, just drop into the gap and you'll land at a platform with a caged
banana. Shoot the coconut switch beside the cage to open it up, allowing
you to get that golden banana.
#4 - OVER THE MOLTEN LAVA
In the lobby of Crystal Caves, use Chunky's primate punch (Z + B) to
destroy the walls of ice at both sides of the room. Then switch to
Donkey and go into the room at the left. Hop into the Donkey barrel to
become invinsible! Run over to the other side of the room where there's
lava (lava in an ice stage...how ironic). Run over the lava and collect
the golden banana.
#5 - DONKEY'S BLUEPRINTS IN DK ISLES
Go to the "lobby" of Hideout Helm. Get Donkey Kong from the Tag barrel.
If you look at the door at the other side of the room, you'll notice the
coconut switch right above it. Let Donkey shoot it with some help from
the sniper mode to make a bridge appear to the yellow-haired Kasplat.
Defeat him and collect the yellow blueprints. Take it to Snide's HQ in
exchange for a sweet golden banana (see Diddy's golden banana #1 for
directions).
DIDDY KONG'S BANANAS - DK ISLES
#1 - SIMIAN SPRING AT SNIDE'S HQ
Go to the room where Snide's HQ is. Here's how to get there: While going
up the path to Frantic Factory, you'll notice some green vines floating
in the air. Swing on the vines and go inside the entrance. Here's
Snide's HQ! At the corner there's a Diddy Pad. Stand on it and press Z
to do the Simian Spring and bounce up to the bonus barrel and start the
mini-game: Batty Barrel Bandit. You need to line up 4 bananas...and do
it 3 times in 40 seconds. You should have quick reflexes to press the]
button as soon as you see the banana at the top. It gets faster on the
2nd and 3rd turns. Remember what the banana comes after so you'll be
prepared.
#2 - SHOOT A SWITCH...OPEN A GATE
First you need to unlock Diddy's rocketbarrels: Climb the DK Island
until you get to the place where Angry Aztec's entrance is. Continue on
the path and you'll get to 2 big rocks. Lift them up using Chunky. Now
go to a Tag Barrel, get Lanky, and go back up there. Let him play the
instrument on the trombone pad...a Diddy barrel appears! If you already
have access to Fungi Forest, go up there and get into the barrel. Use
the rocketbarrel to cross the small gap to the source of the waterfall.
Shoot the peanut switch to open the gate...then you can easily get the
golden banana.
#3 - AT THE TOP OF DK ISLES
To get this one, you must have already gotten the Diddy barrel (see
Diddy's golden banana #2 for more info). Go to the Diddy barrel and hop
into it. Use the rocketbarrels to fly up to the very top of the DK
Island (the one shaped like Donkey's head). At the very tip of his hair,
there's a bonus barrel flying above it. Go into it and begin the mini-
game: Path Peril Panic. A fairy has to cross from the left side to the
right side of the screen, but three Klaptraps stand in her way! You need
to shoot the Klaptraps with melons to make them faint. If even one
Klaptrap is awake when the fairy crosses, he eats her. Shoot the center
melon to reload. You have 60 seconds to let ten fairies cross. The
strategy that I use is like this: Shoot the three at the top, reload,
shoot the three at the bottom, reload, repeat.
#4 - SQUAWKS GIVES YOU SOMETHING GOOD
Go to the lobby of Crystal Caves. On the second floor of this place,
jump to the Diddy barrel floating in the air to get the rocketbarrels.
Fly up to a ledge high up in the room...play Diddy's instrument on the
guitar pad to call Squawks, who will give you a golden banana. Where did
he get that...?!
#5 - DIDDY'S BLUEPRINTS IN DK ISLES
Go to the lobby of Creepy Castle. One of the little cells in the center
structure is covered by a gate. Get Donkey and let him shoot the coconut
switch to open the gate. Then go to the tag barrel and switch to Diddy.
Do a mighty jump over the green sludge to the cell with the red Kasplat.
Defeat him and collect the red blueprints. Take it to Snide's HQ in
exchange for a sweet golden banana (see Diddy's golden banana #1 for
directions).
Lanky Kong - DK ISLES
#1 - SHOOT A SWITCH...OPEN A GATE
Using Lanky, swim to the K. Lumsy's "island" (the metallic floating room
where K. Lumsy is). At the back of that place is a cage with a Grape
Button right beside it. Shoot the grape button with Lanky's Shooter, and
what a surprise, the gate opens. Get the golden banana.
#2 - MUSIC PAD IN THE JUNGLE JAPES LOBBY
Go to the lobby of Jungle Japes (the place where the Wrinkly Kong doors
are). Using Chunky, lift the boulder that's on the pad in the corner of
the room. Then switch to Lanky with the Tag Barrel in this room and make
him play his trombone on the music pad. Sqwawks has a golden banana for
some reason...and he's willing to give it to you!
#3 - ORANGSTAND SPRINT IN K.LUMSY'S ROOM
First, you must have gotten the "Orangstand Sprint" from Cranky Kong in
Crystal Caves. Go inside the small metallic island where K. Lumsy is.
At one side of the room there's a blue switch. At the other side there's
a cage with a Lanky barrel beside it. Make Lanky jump into the barrel,
the sprint to the other side of the room and step on the blue switch to
open the cage. There's a really small time limit here so move very
quickly back to the cage to collect the banana before the time runs out.
#4 - BONUS BARREL IN THE CREEPY CASTLE LOBBY
Go to the lobby of Creepy Castle and you'll find a big rock on a pad.
Use Chunky to ged rid of the rock and uncover this Lanky pad. Switch to
Lanky Kong, then use his pad to float to the top of the structure in the
center of this room. Hop into the bonus barrel to begin...Searchlight
Seek. A Klaptrap walks around calmly while you try to blow his head off
by shooting melons at him. You have 60 seconds to hit 10 Klaptraps.
Follow your target carefully and just shoot the melon a few steps ahead
of him (by the time the melow reaches the floor, he'll have moved
forward a few steps). For an expert like me (hehehe), this game is no
problem. But it was pretty hard the first time...
#5 - LANKY'S BLUEPRINTS IN DK ISLES
Go to the lobby of Crystal Caves. Use Chunky Kong's Primate Punch
(Z + B) to destroy the semi-transparant ice walls at the sides of the
room. Go to the room at the left to meet a blue haired Kasplat! Defeat
him with Lanky and collect the blue blueprints. Take them to Snide's
HQ to exchange it for a golden banana. (see Diddy's golden banana #1 for
directions).
TINY KONG'S BANANAS - DK ISLES
#1 - SHOOT A SWITCH...OPEN A GATE
Using Tiny Kong, swim over to the Banana Fairy Queen's island (you know,
the one shaped like fairy's head). At the back of the head there's a
cave with a golden banana covered by a cage. Right above it is the
Feather Switch. Shoot the switch to open the gate, then go in and get
it.
#2 - PONY TAIL WHIRL IN THE ANGRY AZTEC LOBBY
Go to the lobby of Angry Aztec (where all the Wrinkly Kong doors are).
Use Diddy Kong to smash into the two gongs here with his Chimpy Charge
(Z + B). Tada! The bonus barrel comes out of the floor! But...it's too
high for Diddy to reach. Get Tiny Kong and climb the stairs. Stand on
one of those pillars and do a pony tail whirl to the bonus barrel and
begin the mini-game: Big Bug Bash! Here you must swat 8 flies in 60
seconds. It's kinda like the fly swatting game in Mario Paint for the
SNES, but the controls here seems clunky and unresponsive :( Getting
8 flies isn't too hard, but it's not easy either! Remember that if you
try to hit a bug and miss, he will fly around faster before returning to
his normal speed. Be patient and aim well and winning will be a snap.
#3 - GLOOMY GALLEON LOBBY
Go to the "lobby room" of Gloomy Galleon. Get Chunky Kong from the tag
barrel and use him to hit the switch with the SUPER Simian Slam (Note:
Since the switch is blue, it can only be hit be the Super Siman Slam,
which can be bought from Cranky Kong in Fungi Forest). A tiny cage opens
underwater...and who's better for tiny jobs than Tiny Kong! Get her and
use a pony tail whirl to reach the Tiny barrel in the air. Swim into the
tiny opening, climb onto the platform, and get the golden banana.
#4 - MAKE MUSIC ON K. ROOL'S ISLAND
Go to K. Rool's big mechanical island. At the back of it you will
find a Tiny Kong pad. Let Tiny use it to warp to the top of the island.
Play your saxaphone on the music pad here to call Sqwawks, who will
lovingly give you a golden banana. How he is getting these bananas is a
pure mystery. (note: There's also a banana fairy up here that you might
want to get...)
#5 - TINY'S BLUEPRINTS IN DK ISLES
Go to the "lobby room" of Frantic Factory. There's a big crate in the
corner with a question mark on it. Use Chunky to break it open with his
primate punch (Z + B). A Kasplat and a banana fairy comes out! Switch to
Tiny with the tage barrel in this room and defeat the Kasplat. Collect
the purple blueprints and take them to Snide's HQ (see Diddy's golden
banana #1 for directions on how to get there).
#6 - THE ULTIMATE BANANA
Yes, there are not only five, but SIX golden bananas for Tiny Kong to
collect in DK Isles. This makes a total of 201 golden bananas in the
game (and 101%). You need to capture all 20 banana fairies from the
different levels (see the banana fairy section). Then go to the banana
fairy queen on the banana fairy island. She'll thank you and give you
the ultimate prize: An enormous golden banana. This one has a Rareware
symbol on it. Sweet.
CHUNKY KONG'S BANANAS - DK ISLES
#1 - SHOOT A SWITCH...OPEN A GATE
Beside the waterfall at the back of the island, there's a golden banana
behind a cage with a pineapple switch right on top of it. The pineapple
switch is RIGHT ON TOP OF THE CAGE. If you can't figure this one out,
I'm surprised you got this far. Shoot the switch to open the gate and
get the golden banana inside.
#2 - MUSIC PAD UNDER A ROCK
Climb up the DK Island until you get to the temple where the entrance to
Angry Aztec is. Continue on the path and you'll find two big boulders.
Pick them up...under one of them is Chunky's triangle pad! Let him play
his instrument there and Sqwaks will come with your prize... another
golden banana for your collection.
#3 - THAT'S A BIG MONKEY
Go to K. Rool's big mechanical island. At the back of it you will
find a Tiny Kong pad. Let Tiny use it to warp to the top of the island.
Play your saxaphone on the music pad here to make a Chunky barrel appear
on the little island nearby. Switch to Chunky Kong and go over to that
island. Hop into the Chunky barrel to get big. There's another nearby
island with a white "X" on it. Go to that island and do a simian slam on
the "X" the island will sink down a bit...and a big rock at the other
side of the island will explode (how are these two events possibly
connected?!). You can return to being small again now. Swim over there
and get the golden banana.
#4 - IN HIDEOUT HELM'S LOBBY
Go to the "lobby" of Hideout Helm. Get Chunky from the Tag barrel and
use the Chunky pad to get invisible. Ignore the vines that appear in
front of you and swing on the vines at the left side of the room...right
into the bonus barrel. You have 60 seconds to shoot 28 Kremlings in the
barrels. That's about 1 Kremling every 2 seconds (really hard!). Shoot
the center barrel to reload your melon cannon. Just be quick to aim at a
Kremling as soon as he pops out and shoot him. 60 seconds is a really
strict time limit, but it can be done. You get a golden banana for
winning.
#5 - CHUNKY'S BLUEPRINTS IN DK ISLES
Upon entering the lobby of Gloomy Galleon, you are greeted by a green-
haired Kasplat. How convenient! Defeat him and collect the green
blueprints. Take them to Snide's HQ to exchange it for a lovely golden
banana. Here's how to get there: While going up the path to Frantic
Factory, you'll notice some green vines floating ithe air. Swing on
these vines and go inside the cave to Snide's HQ.
