Level 6 - Cristal Caves

Cristal Caves: Tiny 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 1:
Get the super duper simian slam by visiting Cranky's lab with seven coins. This lets all the Kongs simian slam the red stomp switches.

TIP 2:
Get the third life melon by visiting Candy with seven coins to increase all the Kongs' health meter.

TIP 3:
Get more musical energy by visiting Candy with nine coins.

TIP 4:
Get ammo belt 2 by visiting Funky's arsenal with five coins. This gives the Kongs the ability to carry more ammo (up to 200 rounds).

TIP 5:
Activate the sniper ability by visiting Funky's arsenal with seven coins. This gives the Kongs the ability to zoom in on targets and shoot from afar. In the weapon aiming view, press C-right to zoom in and Z to slow down the crosshair movement.


Important Things to Do
  • Get the monkeyport by visiting Cranky's lab with seven coins. When Tiny finds a circular platform with her face on it, press Z to teleport to another area.

  • Kill the extra large Kremling. The Kremling that's making rocks fall on the Kongs can be stopped, but only after Chunky gets the golden banana unlocked by putting two boulders on red boulder switches. In the area with the big igloo, head to the platform with Tiny's face on it, now uncovered after the ice dome protecting the banana broke. Press Z to teleport to the super-large Kremling. Use the saxophone slam to kill it quickly, then collect all Tiny's bananas there before leaving. The rest of the level will remain quiet.

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

Five Golden Bananas to Get

1. After Diddy activates the music pads around the big igloo island, look for the saxophone music pad. Play the saxophone slam while on the platform to open a door into the igloo. Go inside and use the fairy invincibility attack (hold down B) to kill the club-wielding Kremling. Immediately afterward, simian slam on the bulls-eye circular platform to get it to move. The platform moves in a fixed pattern, so learn its movement as Tiny tries to stomp on it three more times while it's moving. Time the slams so the platform moves toward Tiny as she begins her simian slam animation. If the club-wielding Kremling reappears, kill it with the invincibility attack before continuing - there should be enough time left over to finish the task, and the Kremling will only slow Tiny down. If successful within the time limit, the platform will disappear and a banana will fall. If not, leave and return to try again. (Don't forget the banana bunch and balloon floating above before leaving.)

2. Near Donkey's Barrel Blast switch and Cranky's lab, jump down into the water and look for an area with a huge ice wall and a mini monkey barrel in front of it. Get small and go into the hole in the ice wall. Go inside to find a bonus barrel. Jump in and complete Krazy Kong Klamour! for the banana (flip jump to get the banana). (Getting this banana activates the 3 bananaport that Chunky can use to get a floating banana balloon and green coins in this room).

3. In the area behind the waterfalls, look for a tall log building to the left of Candy's music shop. On the middle level of the building is a sax pad. Play the saxophone slam on it to unlock a door. Enter and kill all the purple Klaptraps inside (preferably with orange grenades) to make the banana appear. (Don't forget to get the two purple banana bunches and a purple balloon before leaving.)

4. From Funky's arsenal, look for a walkway that leads to a Diddy jet pack barrel. Across the walkway is a thin ledge with a mini monkey barrel. Pony tail twirl to the barrel to get small, then jump back to the walkway. Follow the walkway to a small hole in an ice wall. Go inside to activate the 4 bananaport (so Diddy can get his blueprint piece) and press Z while on the circle pad with Tiny's face on it. Tiny will be whisked to an ice dome with the banana (and a purple banana bunch) inside.

5. Use the 2 bananaport to reach a platform area above Candy's music shop in the area behind the waterfalls. Look for a walkway that leads to a big purple-haired Kasplat. Kill him for the piece, then return to Snide for the banana. (There's also a floating purple balloon above the Kasplat, so shoot that as well!)

100 Purple Bananas to Find

In each level there are 100 bananas for each Kong to find. Tiny has to collect the purple 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.
