Level 4 - Gloomy Galleon

Gloomy Galleon: Chunky 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 instrument upgrade 1 by visiting Candy's music shop with five coins. This increases the Kongs' maximum total musical energy.

TIP 2:
Unlock Cranky's Jetpac computer game and earn the Rareware coin. First, collect 15 banana medals (not coins!) and visit Cranky's lab. Score at least 5,000 points for the Rareware coin (make sure that you have items falling by rebuilding the rocket). Incidentally, this can be done at any of Cranky's labs after getting 15 banana medals.


Important Things to Do
  • Unlock any gates with pineapple switches. This lets the other Kongs reach the certain areas in Gloomy Galleon.

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

Five Golden Bananas to Get

1. With the water level raised, go to the caveway at the start of the level. Shoot the two pineapple switches to enter, then kill the big enemy atop the pier (so he's not in the way). Pick up (press B) the cannonball and carry it to the cannon. Using only six shots, shoot down the three targets. The cannonballs are heavy, so the shots will arc like real cannonballs - take that into account when aiming. Save ammo, as there isn't time to reload. When all three targets are hit within the time limit, a banana will appear.

2. At the 1 bananaport just after the level start, walk right under a broken ship. Follow the trail of green bananas until Chunky sees three treasure chests. Break the one on the right with a primate punch to reveal the banana.

3. With the water lowered, look for an alcove in the lighthouse area with a triangle music pad. Play the triangle trample, then quickly dive and swim toward the green switch that raises the water under the lighthouse. Hit the switch to raise the water, then swim onto the lighthouse island. Get on the island quickly, then use the 5 bananaport to get to the sunken ship area. Swim to the horizontal sunken ship and go through an opening on the top. Swim into the bonus barrel and complete Batty Barrel Bandit for a banana.

4. Lower the water with the switch underneath the lighthouse. Now, use the 1 bananaport in the cave to get back onto the island. Get on the box with Diddy's jet pack. As the lowest part of K. Rool's ship floats past, jump onto the ship. Once on, stomp on the back trapdoor to drop to another level. Once in the ship, use the primate punch to knock down a portion of the fence. Then, use repeated primate punches to break all the spinning barrels so a banana eventually falls. (Once that happens, watch Chunky get seasick. Press down on the analog stick to move forward, as all the directions get reversed!)

5. Fight the big green-haired Kasplat atop the cactus-shaped rock near Funky's arsenal. To be safe, play the triangle trample to kill the monster without fighting it. Get the blueprint piece and return to Snide for the banana.

100 Green Bananas to Find

In each level there are 100 bananas for each Kong to find. Chunky has to collect the green 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.

Single Bananas
No.Location
2The passageway leading to the central cave (with Cranky Cabin).
5The passageway leading to the room with the 3 giant treasure chests and Golden Banana number 2.
3On a plank near the 3 bananaport inside the central cave (with Cranky's Cabin).
10In the lighthouse area, around the base of the lighthouse.

Bananas Bunches
No.Location
1 (5)On the 2 bananaport inside the central cave (with Cranky's Cabin).
3 (15)Underneath some wreckage, next to the horizontal sunken wooden ship.
1 (5)With the water raised, above the 2 bananaport near the vertical sunken wooden ship.
5 (25)Inside K. Rools ship that is floating around the lighthouse. Collect them when going for Golden Banana number 4.

Ballooned Bananas
No.Location
1 (10)Floating around the cactus shaped rock formation.
1 (10)With the water lowered, floating above the vertical sunken wooden ship, near the 2 bananaport. (this one can only be collected if Tiny simian slammed the switch near the entrance to the sunken ships area.)
1 (10)Inside the room with the blue-haired Kasplat, when going for Golden Banana number 1.
