Overview
The level begins in a canyon-like background area, where Donkey Kong will find an cactus, which holds a Banana Coin. The player finds a Tiki Goon. Then there is a high place with a Rambi crate, acessible by jumping on the Tiki Goon's head. After this a blue plant hiding a Puzzle Piece is found. After this, Donkey Kong will jump on three wooden plaforms and find a small piece of ground. A boulder is hung here, holding the K letter. A wooden platform is found, being protected by another boulder. A DK Barrel is here too. DK needs to pass on other platforms, and he will arrive in a ground part with a Tutorial Pig and a boulder. An Rambi box is hidden, and a bonus area - the player needs to collect twenty bananas, eight banana bunches and two Balloons between three groups of falling platforms to make an Puzzle Piece appear. In the non-secret path, a bridge can be seen. DK will find a button that can destroy a wall where two platforms break a rock wall, revealing a Barrel Cannon to access a background area of the level. The O letter is placed here. Two platforms made of wood take DK to an energy transporter and a group of three stone platforms. A Barrel Cannon will appear to take him to a little area of ground. The N letter is here, along with another two stone platforms. Another Tutorial Pig is also here. Many other stone and wood platforms will be found, and then a button revealing a Barrel Cannon and a secret area to give a Puzzle Piece.
