Cannon Cluster: Difference between revisions

Located on the ocean shore of [[Donkey Kong Island]], Cannon Cluster features many pirate ships that shoot cannonballs at [[Donkey Kong|Donkey]] and [[Diddy Kong]]. In many areas of the stage, the [[Kong]]s must dodge the cannonballs by simply running past them or taking shelter under large boards. Additionally, many wooden crates appear around the level, some of which block the Kongs' path or contain collectibles. The level is not entirely a beach area however; various piers and shipwrecks are also featured. Near the piers, [[Jellybob (Donkey Kong Country Returns)|Jellybob]]s often jump out attempting to attack the Kongs. [[Pinckly]]s and [[Snaps]] are found along the beach areas of the level.

In the [[Donkey Kong Country Returns#Time Attack|Time Attack]] mode, a time of 0:50:00 is needed to get a gold medal, a time of 1:01:00 for silver, and a time of 1:23:00 for bronze.

|The letter K is in a wide gap located in a bridge area at the start. The Kongs must jump on a Tiki Buzz surrounding the letter K to safely collect it without falling into the pit.

|At an area of land that the cannonballs shoot at just before the checkpoint, the letter O is on a wooden board.

|During the part where ship parts are floating above the water, the Kongs must jump off a crate to reach the letter N above a Jellybob.

|When the Kongs reach the crates right after the second-to-last area of cannonballs, they must jump on them to reach the letter G.

|At the start, the Kongs can find a wooden platform sticking out of the sand. They must Ground Pound it to make another appear nearby. If they pound it into the ground, the previous wooden platform pops back out of the ground with a [[Puzzle Piece (Donkey Kong Country Returns)|Puzzle Piece]] on it.

|Just before the letter K is a platform surrounded by two Jellybobs. There, the Kongs must blow at a flower to reveal the second Puzzle Piece.

|After the next set of cannonballs after the letter K is a wooden platform sticking out of the sand. If they pound on it, another one appears behind them on a raised bridge area. If they stand on this wooden platform they can find a Puzzle Piece high in the air that they can reach by jumping from the platform.

|The Kongs must pound the next wooden platform after the previous one, where they found the third Puzzle Piece, to make another wooden platform appear next to a fan. The Kongs should stand on the object and blow on the fan to make a section of land rise from the ground. They can use the land to reach a [[Barrel Cannon]] that shoots them into a [[Bonus Level]]. The Kongs have 30 seconds to move along two large, moving platforms and collect 47 bananas, two [[Banana Coin]]s, and a [[Red Balloon]]. After Donkey Kong and Diddy collect these items, the Puzzle Piece appears.

|The Kongs must Ground Pound two crates right before the letter O to reveal a Puzzle Piece.

|After the checkpoint, the Kongs must pick up a barrel and break open a wooden structure behind them. They can go inside a room with a Puzzle Piece, which is visible in the ship.

|In the area after the letter G is a barrel that is placed near some [[Pinchly]]s. The Kongs must pick it up and carry it by an area of cannonballs to find a wooden ship part right before the Slot Machine Barrel. With the barrel, the Kongs can smash a wall on the wooden object to reveal a passage into a Bonus Level. There, they have 30 seconds to move from a trampoline platform to collect some floating Banana Coins and bananas. After the Kongs collect all these items, the seventh and final Puzzle Piece appears.
