 * The Chunky Switch can be found in Frantic Factory, and once activated, the player will have a limited time where some platforms will raise and lower which will make a way to a Golden Banana.

K-O-N-G Switches
They are found in a temple in Angry Aztec, in the room where Diddy rescues Tiny. Diddy will first need to Chimpy Charge the Diddy Switch in the room to make some platforms raise so he can reach the Switches. Once Diddy activates all the switches in order, Tiny is freed, and Diddy is rewarded with a Golden Banana.
