Level 1 - Jungle Japes

Jungle Japes: Lanky Kong Strategy

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

Important Things to Do

  • Get the grape shooter by visiting Funky's arsenal with three banana coins. This gives Lanky a gun to shoot grape switches. Alternativly, collect all the special abilities, when you free him in Angry Aztec, otherwise collect them in Jungle Japes.

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

Five Golden Bananas to Get

1. In the first cave passageway (before the lake and steppes), look for a cave unlocked by Diddy's peanut switches. Beyond is a grape switch. Shoot it to get into an alcove with a bonus barrel in it. Complete Mad Maze Maul for a banana.

2. In the area where Lanky gets his blueprint piece (in a side passageway connecting the lake and Cranky's lab), look for a steep slope with a bonus barrel atop it. Complete Speeding Swing Sortie for the banana.

3. In the area near Cranky's lab, look for a switch with Lanky's face on it. Simian slam the switch to unlock a banana on the steppe directly below where Diddy was kept prisoner. Hit it and quickly run to the 4 bananaport in front of the lab. Teleport to the lake area and swim to the 2 bananaport. Teleport to the top of the steppes and run to the steppe where Diddy was kept prisoner. Jump or slide down to the steppe below to find the alcove with the banana in it. Using the teleports, Lanky will have plenty of time to spare.

4. Using Diddy Kong, head to the area right of the 2 bananaport in the lake and steppes area. In the lower region across the lake is a steep slope with a gate atop it. Above the gate is a peanut switch. Shoot the switch to unlock the gate, then switch to Lanky. Use Lanky's orangstand skill to climb the steep slope. Go in the cave and flip jump (hold Z, then press A) on top of the wooden pegs on either side of the picture. Simian slam each peg. Once both are slammed down, shoot down all the flying bees that appear to get the banana. (Don't forget the fairy and floating banana balloon on the way out!)

5. Look for a big blue-haired Kasplat in the cave passageways underneath the steppes, opposite the passageway formerly blocked by the door with a rhino face on it. The Kasplat's guarding two steep slopes only Lanky can climb. Get the blueprint piece and return to Snide for the banana.

100 Blue Bananas to Find

In each level there are 100 bananas for each Kong to find. Lanky has to collect the blue 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.
