Level 3 - Frantic Factory

Frantic Factory: 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.

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
  • Get the baboon balloon by visiting Cranky's lab with five coins. This activates the circular pads with Lanky's face on them. Press Z on each pad to turn into an inflatable balloon, which lets Lanky float in the air. Press Z to cancel the move while in the air.

  • Free Chunky. In the storage room, look for a sharply sloping pipe in one corner. Use Lanky's orangstand move to climb the pipe. Atop is a stomp switch. Simian slam it to free Chunky.

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

Five Golden Bananas to Get

1. Collect the banana Chunky leaves behind after Lanky frees him.

2. In the research and development room, look for the trombone pad and play the trombone tremor while on it. That unlocks the door to a musical piano. Stomp on the colors in the order the enemies pop up in the barrels for the banana. For those who hate games of memory, here's the sequence: C-B-C, C-B-C-D, C-B-C-D-E, C-B-C-D-E-C, then finally C-B-C-D-E-C-A. Don't forget to shoot the blue balloon in that room before leaving.

3. Go to the testing room where the building block tower stands. Look for a pad with Lanky's face on it (it should be near a Tag barrel). Press Z while on the pad to inflate, then float to the bonus barrel close by. Complete Batty Barrel Bandit for the banana.

4. After Donkey turns on the power to the production room (see Donkey's strategy for details), and Diddy activates the 4 bananaport (see Diddy's strategy for details), go to the production room. Look for a floor switch with Lanky's face on it, then simian slam it. Use the 4 bananaport to teleport to the top of the room. Use Lanky's orangstand to traverse up a steep slope that leads to the banana. There's no time limit, so don't rush.

5. In the research and development room, climb up a tan metal ladder to find a big blue-haired Kasplat wandering about. Kill him for the piece, then 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.
