Puzzle Piece (Donkey Kong Country series): Difference between revisions

'''Puzzle Pieces''' are collectible items that appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'', ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D]]'', and ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'' (and [[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (Nintendo Switch)|its Nintendo Switch port]]). As their name implies, Puzzle Pieces are shiny curved orange puzzle pieces, and there are either five, seven, or nine hidden in every [[level]] (except for boss fights). When the [[Kong]]s obtain every Puzzle Piece in a level, the player unlocks a new photo in the [[List of extras in Donkey Kong Country Returns#Image gallery|Image Gallery]].  

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.
