Level 3 - Frantic Factory

Frantic Factory: Donkey Kong Strategy

In general, try to complete all the Things to Do tasks in order before attempting to grab any golden bananas - many require the completion of special tasks or ability upgrades to get them.

TIP:
Get the ammo belt 1 by using any Kong, then visit Funky's Arsenal with three coins. The belt increases the amount of ammo the Kongs can carry.

Important Things to Do
  • To get the gorilla grab, visit Cranky's lab with seven coins. This lets Donkey pull levers. Press B while standing in front of a lever to pull it.

  • Turn on the power to the production room. From the upper ledge of the research and development room, look for a doorway that leads to a pit. Fall down the pit. Shoot the coconut switch to unlock the Danger: High Voltage door. Use the gorilla grab to pull the lever and activate the production room.

  • Simian slam the blue switch in the storage room. It's near the boxes in that room. Simian slam it to unlock the gates to another pole elsewhere in the level.

  • Get the Nintendo coin. After Donkey gets the golden banana by beating the Donkey Kong arcade game, spend two coins to play it again. Beat the game again for the Nintendo coin.

  • To get the banana medal, collect at least 75 bananas in this level.

Five Golden Bananas to Get

1. In one room connected to the testing room by a purple-lit hallway, there's a platform with 16 numbers on it. Stomp the green switch in front of the platform to raise the numbers, then simian slam them down from 1 to 16 within the time limit. To jump up to the platform quickly, use the flip jump (hold Z and press A). When the banana appears, use the flip jump to get it.

2. Simian slam the floor switch at the start of the level (it's in front of the yellow clock and time card slot) to activate a pole to slide down. Follow the yellow bananas to the pole, then go all the way down it to the production room. Head across that room to the storage room. Hit Z on the Donkey Barrel Blast pad in the storage room and complete the Barrel Blast stage by finding the DK star. This reveals a lever in front of a Donkey Kong arcade console. Leave the storage room and look for a pole guarded by a big Kremling. Climb the pole and explore that upper hallway to find the Donkey Kong machine. Pull the level to play the arcade game. Beat all four levels without dying for the banana.

3. Immediately after turning on the power to the production room, grab the banana before leaving the Danger: High Voltage Door room!

4. After Donkey turns on the power to the production room, enter the lower entrance of the machine in the middle of the production room. Jump into the Strong Kong barrel to turn invincible, then reach the end of that trash-compacting passageway for the banana.

5. Use the 4 bananaport to head to the top of the production room, where Lanky climbs the steep pipe to get his banana. Beyond that is a small platform with a big red-haired Kasplat on it. Jump on the square above the pipe and, to be safe, play the Bongo Blast to easily kill the Kasplat. Jump across, grab the piece, and return to Snide for the banana.

100 Yellow Bananas to Find

In each level there are 100 bananas for each Kong to find. Donkey has to collect the yellow ones. When you collect 75 you get a Banana Medal. The bananas are scattered loose (1 piece), in bunches (5 pieces) and in balloons (10 pieces). Below are the locations of the bananas, devided in single, bunched and ballooned bananas.
