'''Puzzle Pieces''' are items appearing in the games ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]''. As their name implies, these objects are shiny, orange, curved puzzle pieces. There are various numbers of them hidden throughout every single level, except for boss levels. There are either five, seven, or nine Puzzle Pieces in each level. Puzzle Pieces are often hidden in levels, but they are also obtained after the player collects every single [[Banana]], [[Banana Coin]], and/or [[Extra Life Balloon]] in a [[Bonus Area#Donkey Kong Country Returns|Bonus Level]] within thirty seconds. Every time all Puzzle Pieces are collected in a level, the Image Gallery is updated with one photo.

Puzzle Pieces appear in Donkey Kong Country Returns, Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D, and Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (and its Nintendo Switch port) as items with a shiny curved orange appearance. There are either five, seven, or nine hidden in every level, except for boss fights. Most Puzzle Pieces directly appear in hidden parts of a level itself, but a few are obtained if the Kongs collect every item within a bonus room before the time runs out. On the results screen, after the player completes a level, the gathered Puzzle Pieces individually make up an image. The entire picture is revealed when the Kongs obtain every Puzzle Piece. From the world map, an icon of a Puzzle Piece also appears on a selected level if the Kongs have collected every one in the level itself. When the Kongs obtain every Puzzle Piece in a level, the player unlocks a new photo in the Image Gallery.
