Jungle Japes
DONKEY KONG'S BANANAS - JUNGLE JAPES
#1 - AT THE TOP OF THE HILL
This is the second golden banana you can possibly get. At the beginning
of the stage, climb a tree and swing across the vines to get to the
switch. When you syep on the switch, the big gate will open (you don't
have to do the simian slam, just step on the switch). Go through the
short tunnel and you will reach a big open area, that I will refer to as
the "main area" for the rest of the FAQ. Now go jump into the water at
your left. See that big green vine leaning against the wall? Climb up
that vine. Turn right and swing across on the vines to reach the other
side. Go into the cannon barrel to get yourself shot up to the higher
ledge...and the golden banana is right there in front of Diddy's cage,
waiting for you to get it :)
#2 - FREE DIDDY KONG
After you get the golden banana above, talk to Diddy Kong through his
cage and three 'coconut targets' will appear near the bottom part of the
stage. Jump down to the bottom and climb up that big green vine to
Funky's Armory. Inside, pay Funky Kong 3 banana coins to get the coconut
cannon (press Z and C left to take it out, then B to shoot). Now you can
shoot the 3 coconut targets with your gun! The first one is at the
left side of the bottom floor...the second one is at the right side. The
third one is found across the water, but these targets disappear if you
get too far away from them! So to shoot the third target, climb up to
the platform where Funky's Armory is, go to the edge, face down and
shoot it. Now that all the targets have been shot, Diddy will be free...
and inside his cage is a golden banana. Just go up there and get it!
Also, all three gates in the stage will open up.
#3 - DONKEY'S BARREL BLAST STAGE
Go through the cave at the right side of the main area and continue
until you reach a stormy area with Cranky's Lab. I will refer to this
place as 'Cranky's area'. Go inside Cranky's Lab and pay him the 3
banana coins to get the 'Baboon blast'. Now go back to the main area.
Climb the tree near the boulder and swing across the vines to reach the
Donkey Pad. Press Z while standing on the Donkey Pad to go to the Barrel
Blast stage. This is a very linear stage, just fire yourself to the next
barrel and continue doing this until you reach the golden banana.
#4 - DONKEY KONG'S CAGED BANANA
Go to the back part Cranky's area and you'll find a switch over a gate.
Shoot the switch with your coconut cannon to open the gate. Touch the
Rambi crate inside to transform into a Rambi! Use Rambi's charge attack
(hold the B button and release) to destoy all 4 huts in this area. Each
one of them has a switch under it. Press Z and C left to turn back into
Donkey Kong. Go to the Donkey Switch and use the Simian Slam on it to
open a gate in the main area. Now simply return to the main area and
collect the banana (luckily, there is no time limit).
#5 - DONKEY'S BLUEPRINTS IN JUNGLE JAPES
In the main area to into the cage at the left side and you'll find a
Kasplat with yellow hair. Defeat him to get the yellow blueprints for
Jungle Japes. By the way, you can tell what color blueprints a Kasplat
is going to drop by looking at the color of his hair. Now take the
blueprints to Snide's HQ at the top of the hill to collect your golden
banana.
DIDDY KONG'S BANANAS - JUNGLE JAPES
#1 - OPEN UP DIDDY'S SECRET AREA
First, get Diddy's "Peanut Popguns" from Funky's Armory (you need to pay
him 3 banana coins). Then go back to the tunnel near the beginning of
the level. Inside that tunnel, you'll find a big closed gate with two
peanut targets beside it. Shoot the targets with Diddy's gun to make the
gate open. Inside that area, a golden banana awaits in plain sight. It
doesn't get any easier than this folks. Enjoy the easiness while it
lasts...
#2 - CRAZY MINE-CART RIDE
First of all, go to Cranky's Lab and pay him to get the Chimpy Charge.
At the top of the hill, there's a sort of 'tower' with a peanut switch
on it. Shoot the switch (with Diddy's Peanut Popguns of course) and a
big wooden path will come out of the tower. Follow the path and go into
the entrance. This is the "mine area" (not to be confused with the main
area). Continue through this place until you reach an open space with
enemies that throw bombs. Use the chimpy charge to knock down a metal
gate, then kill the guy inside (use the oranges). Use the chimpy charge
again to hit the green button with the word "low". This slows down the
conveyers. Use a Simian Slam on the switch to open another gate. Quickly
run into that area, run up the conveyers, and continue until you fall
into the mine cart. Now you have to go through this mine-cart course and
have at least 50 coins at the end. Use the analog stick to make Diddy
lean to the left or right and control his speed. If you go too slowly,
a TNT barrel will appear behind you and explode, causing you to lose
coins. Beating this place isn't too hard... you should be able to do it
in 2 or 3 tries.
#3 - ON TOP OF THE MINE AREA
Go inside the mine area. Climb up the platform at the right and look to
the opposite side. See that peanut switch? Shoot it with your gun. This
causes a wooden plank to appear, completing the bridge to the other
side. Quickly cross this bridge and use the Simian Slam on the Diddy
switch. This makes the golden banana appear on top of the tower thing.
Exit the mine area and climb up to get the banana! (by the way, this
also causes the #4 warp pad to appear up there)
#4 - DIDDY KONG'S CAGED BANANA
First, make sure you used Rambi to destroy all of the huts in Cranky's
area. Under each hut is a switch. Locate Diddy's switch and use the
Simian Slam on it to open a gate beside Funky's Armory. You have a time
limit to get the golden banana! You can't get there in time if you
simply run, so use the #4 warp pad in front of Cranky's Lab to get to
the main area, then jump into the water, climb up the vine, and run to
the golden banana.
#5 - DIDDY'S BLUEPRINTS IN JUNGLE JAPES
In the main area, go into the tunnel at the right side and you'll find
a Kasplat with red hair. Defeat him to get the red blueprints for Jungle
Japes. Bring these blueprints to Snide HQ at the top of the hill to
exchange it for a golden banana.
LANKY KONG'S BANANAS - JUNGLE JAPES
#1 - BONUS BARREL BEHIND GATE
In the tunnel near the beginning of the level, there's a gate that must
be opened with Diddy's Peanut Popgun (see Diddy's golden banana #1).
Inside that area, there's yet another closed gate. Use Lanky's Grape Gun
to shoot the Grape Switch and open the gate. Get that banana bunch and
hop into the Bonus Barrel to start the mini-game: Mad Maze Maul! In
here, you have 60 seconds go through this course, defeat 5 Kremlings,
and reach the 'checkered flag'. This one is really easy... even a moron
like you could beat it without any difficulty at all :) I beat it with
nearly 30 seconds to spare. Your prize, of course, is a golden banana.
#2 - DO THE ORANGSTAND I
Using Diddy, go to the right side of the main area (near the entrance to
the cave). Use C-up to look around...see that steep slope with a cave at
the top? The one with a gate blocking your entry? The one with a Peanut
Switch right on top of it? You know what to do, let Diddy shoot the
switch with a peanut. Behold, the gate opens (as if you didn't expect
that :)! The slope is too steep to climb up, so get Lanky from the tag
barrel and use the orangstand to go up and into the cave. Inside,
Squawks practically gives it away. Simian Slam on the two pegs (ala
Super Mario 64) and a swarm of bees will appear. Destroy them all
(preferably with the grape shooter) to make the golden banana come out
of the painting. (Note: After you get the golden banana, a banana fairy
appears!)
#3 - DO THE ORANGSTAND II
Go to the tunnel that leads to the area with Cranky's Lab. At the
'intersection' right before you get to the outside, go left. Turn left
again and climb up that steep slope using the orangstand. Hop right into
the bonus barrel to play the mini-game: Speedy Swing Sortie. It's really
easy. You have 30 seconds to collect 10 DK coins. Hop on the mushroom to
get on the first tree, then swing on the vines to get the coins. It is
NOT a maze, so don't look for secret passageways or anything like that.
You're prize is shiny, golden, and rhymes with "bolden ganana"...
#4 - LANKY KONG'S CAGED BANANA
First, make sure you used Rambi to destroy all of the huts in Cranky's
area. Under each hut is a switch. Go to Lanky's switch (at the back-
left) and do the Simian Slam on it. A gate opens in the main area beside
the cannon barrel! You have 60 seconds to get it. Use the #4 warp pad to
get to the main area quickly, then swim to the fate vine and climb up
it. Swing across the vines and rescue the golden banana from its little
prison.
#5 - LANKY'S BLUEPRINTS IN JUNGLE JAPES
Go to the tunnel that leads to the area with Cranky's Lab. At the
'intersection' right before you get to the outside, go left and you'll
meet the blue-haired Kasplat. Defeat him to get the blue blueprints.
Bring those blueprints to Snide's HQ at the top of the hill in the main
area to exchange it for a golden banana.
TINY KONG'S BANANAS - JUNGLE JAPES
#1 - BONUS BARREL BEHIND GATE
In the tunnel near the beginning of the level, there's a gate that must
be opened with Diddy's Peanut Popgun (see Diddy's golden banana #1).
Inside that area, use C-up to look the the left side and see a gate.
Shoot the Feather Switch beside the gate to make it open. Collect the
banana bunch and hop into the barrel to start the mini-game: Splish
Splash Salvage. You have 60 seconds to swim around in the water and
collect the 10 DK coins. This one is actually kinda hard because of the
fustrating camera angles. Five of them are at the bottom of the barrel,
the rest are found near the 'metal ring' around the middle. Your reward
is a golden banana!
#2 - INSIDE THE BEE HIVE
>From the main area, go to the left side and into the cave there. At the
end of the cave is a closed gate. Shoot the two Feather Switches at the
sides to open the gate. In this area, there's a wierd looking colorful
dome with a small entrance at the front. I'm not really sure what this
is, so I'll call it a bee hive. Hop into the Tiny Barrel beside it and
go inside. Go into the left tunnel and Simian Slam the switch there.
Gate #2 is opened! Go inside the newly opened tunnel and Simian Slam
this switch also (avoid those Klaptraps...or just kill them by playing
your instrument). Gate #3 is opened! Go inside this newly opened tunnel
and get the golden banana at the top of the stone structure.
#3 - BANANA IN A TREE STUMP
Go to the same area as in golden banana #2 (right above). At the side of
the area, there's a little tree trunk with a banana in it. Hop into the
Tiny Barrel right beside it to become mini-monkey. Stand beside the
mushroom (the one right beside the stump) and do a backflip (Z + A) so
that you can jump on top of the mushroom and bounce to the top of the
stump. Fall into the hole at the top to get the golden banana inside.
The gate will open, allowing you to exit easily.
#4 - TINY KONG'S CAGED BANANA
First, make sure you used Rambi to destroy all of the huts in Cranky's
area. Under each hut is a switch. Look for the Tiny Switch and do a
Simian Slam on it. A gate opens in the main area. You only have 30
seconds to get there and collect the banana. The only way you can make
it in time is by using the #4 bananaport in front of Cranky's Lab. Then
jump into the water and swim left to the cave with the golden banana.
You can make it there with 10 seconds to spare.
#5 - TINY'S BLUEPRINTS IN JUNGLE JAPES
>From the main area, go to the left side and into the cave there (same
place as in banana #2). The purple-haired Kasplat awaits. Defeat him and
bring the purple bluebrints to Snide's HQ in the main area to exchange
it for a golden banana.
CHUNKY KONG'S BANANAS - JUNGLE JAPES
#1 - GOLDEN BANANA IN A ROCK
In the main area there's a boulder resting on an "X" mark on the floor.
Let Chunky pick up the boulder, then throw it to break it open and
reveal the golden banana inside. There's also something you can do with
the "X" mark, see the next banana...
#2 - SWING TO BANANA IN THE SECRET CAVE
Go to the part of the main area where there's a big "X" on the floor.
If you didn't already get rid of the boulder on it, see Chunky's banana
#1 (just above). Stand on the "X" and do three Simian Slams on it. The
floor will break open and you'll fall into a secret cave! Be careful as
you follow the path since the flames can go away and leave the path
pitch black! Just go slowly and move only when you can see where you're
going. At the end, shoot the pineapple switches on the statue's eyes to
make some vines come down. Swing on the vines at the left to reach the
golden banana.
#3 - HUNKY CHUNKY JUMPS TO BONUS BARREL
In the main area, go into the cave at the left side (beside the big blue
"X"). When you get to the clearing at the end of the tunnel, hop into
the Chunky barrel in the center of the trees to become super huge. Do
a backflip (Z + A) to hop up to the bonus barrel and start the mini-
game: Minecart Mayhem. You need to go through the tracks on a minecart
while avoiding the TNT barrel that also goes on the same tracks. Hold
Z to speed up, or hold B to slow down. When you come to a place where
you can change tracks, arrows will appear at the sides and you can push
the analog stick in the direction you want to go. This mini-game isn't
too hard, just remember to be as far away from the TNT barrel as
possible and you'll be fine.
#4 - CHUNKY KONG'S CAGED BANANA
If you didn't already destroy the Rambi wall in the cave that leads to
Cranky's Lab, then get Donkey and use him to turn into Rambi. Go to the
Rambi wall in the cave, face it, and charge at it to break it open.
Switch to Chunky Kong and go to the end of that path. Whoa, there's 3
banana balloons here! Lift up that boulder and throw it away, then
Simian Slam the switch. A gate opens near Snide's HQ at the top of the
hill! You only have 50 seconds to get there, so be quick. Run to the
main area (do NOT use the #4 warp pad) and swim across the lake to the
#2 warp pad. Use it to warp to the top of the hill, then dash the the
gate beside Snide's HQ to collect the golden banana.
#5 - CHUNKY'S BLUEPRINTS IN JUNGLE JAPES
Go to the secret cave in Chunky's golden banana #2 (see above). At the
end of the path, shoot the second pineapple switch on the statue's eye
to make vines come down at the right side. Shoot the Kasplat from afar
to defeat him (it's easier, and safer, than battling him up close).
Collect the green blueprints and bring them to Snide's HQ (on top of the
hill in the main area) to exchange it for a golden banana.
