Level 6 - Cristal Caves

Veterans of the original Donkey Kong Country games will immediately recognize this cavernous ice setting, complete with a giant igloo and a waterfall that hides several hidden log buildings. This level is a milestone of sorts for the Kongs. In Crystal Caves, the Kongs get their final abilities and upgrades from Cranky, Candy, and Funky. Also, as the number of bananas required to face the boss increases, it becomes more important to find - and get - any bunch or balloon as soon as it's found. Don't waste time backtracking! Finally, the level's major nuisance is a mean-tempered Kremling who periodically causes rocks to fall from the ceiling. Read on to find out how to negate this annoyance...

Cristal Caves: Level FAQ

Here are answers to fundamental questions that players may have about the Crystal Caves level. If the question isn't answered here, be sure to check each character's Important Things to Do list for this level, as well as the 100 Percent Strategy section of this guide.

Where's Cranky's Lab?
Facing the first 1 and 2 bananaports, head right and swim across the river to a walkway on the other side. Continue right and jump across three platforms to reach a thin wooden walkway. Follow that walkway to a stone bridge that spans the water to Cranky's lab, which should be in plain view.

Where's Funky's Arsenal?
Facing the first 1 and 2 bananaports, head right and swim across the river to a walkway on the other side. Continue left and jump up a series of rocky stair steps. At the top is a character switch barrel. Continue over another long series of rocky stair steps that lead to Funky's arsenal, which should be in plain view.

Where's Snide's HQ?
Use Chunky to get there. At the start of the level, where the 1 and 2 bananaports are, head right until Chunky sees a club-wielding Kremling. It's guarding an ice wall. Primate punch the ice wall to open up another room. Snide's headquarters lies in that room.

Where's Candy's Music Shop?
It's in the area behind the waterfalls to the right of the tall building made out of logs.

Where is K. Rool's Battle Arena?
Only Donkey can get to it. From the 2 bananaport in the area behind the waterfalls, walk on a wooden plank to a log cabin with a bongo pad in front of it. Play the bongo blast while on it to open the door to the cabin. Simian slam the switch on the left side of the room to rotate the room counterclockwise 90 degrees. The battle arena pad should now be on the floor. Press Z on it and survive Plinth Panic! for the crown.

Where are the Two Cristal Caves Banana Fairies?
1. Only Tiny can get it. After Tiny goes into the big igloo and gets a golden banana by destroying the moving circular bulls-eye platform, a fairy will appear in the room. Take a picture of it before leaving.
2. Only Diddy can get it. After Diddy gets the golden banana by lighting the candles in the big log building in the area behind the waterfalls, a fairy will appear in that room. Don't leave without taking a picture of it!.

How Can I Stop those Rocks from Falling from the Ceiling?
Tiny can get the job done; see her strategy for details...
