Level 1 - Jungle Japes

Jungle Japes: Donkey 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 coconut shooter by visiting Funky's arsenal with three banana coins. This gives Donkey a gun to shoot coconut switches.

  • Get the baboon blast by visiting Cranky's lab with three banana coins. This lets Donkey play the Barrel Blast stages (the circular platforms with Donkey's face on it). Press Z while on such a platform to begin a Barrel Blast stage.

  • Free Diddy Kong after getting the golden banana in front of Diddy's cage (the steppe directly above the steppe with the barrel cannon). Three coconut switches will appear: two below near the lake (each is near a 3 bananaport) and one above the gate in the middle of the lake. Shoot all three to free Diddy. (To shoot the switch in the middle of the lake, stand on a steppe above it, near where the vines are, and aim down!).
  • Use the Rhino behind Cranky's lab. There is a gate with a coconut switch above it. Shoot the switch and jump into the box. Use the charge attack (the B button) to break the four huts surrounding Cranky's lab. Once completed, leave that area and look for a door with a rhino face on it, then super charge it (hold Z, then press B) to break the door.

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

Five Golden Bananas to Get

1. Reach the top of the steppes where Diddy's cage is to get the banana.

2. After freeing Diddy, grab the banana he leaves behind in his cage. This should lower the gates to the underground passageways beneath the steppes.

3. In the lake and steppes area, look for a tree near a giant blue X covered by a boulder. Climb that tree to find vines. Swing across to a ledge with a Barrel Blast pad on it (press Z while on it to enter the stage). Find the banana at the very end of the Barrel Blast stage.

4. After Donkey uses the rhino to smash the four huts, look for a green stomp switch with Donkey's face on it. Simian slam the switch to reveal the banana at the start of the lake and steppes area between the 1 and 2 bananaports. Get the banana.

5. Look for a big yellow-haired Kasplat in the passageway, near the giant blue X covered by a boulder and a 3 bananaport. The Kasplat will be guarding three yellow coins, making him easy to spot. Get the blueprint piece, then 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.
