Level 5 - Fungi Forest

Fungi Forest: Diddy 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 homing ammo by visiting Funky's arsenal with five coins. The upgrade affects all Kongs. This activates the red ammo boxes, which contain ammo that automatically target enemies or switches - provided the Kong is shooting in the general direction of the target.

TIP 2:
Get the super simian slam by visiting Cranky's lab with five coins. This gives all the Kongs the ability to slam blue stomp switches.

TIP 3:
Activate the cannons inside the giant mushroom. At the bottom level inside the bottom mushroom, look on one wall to find five switches arranged in a cross. Shoot all five switches (one for each Kong) to turn on a quick cannon path to the top.


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

Five Golden Bananas to Get

1. In the mill area at night, head for the small wooden house next to Snide's headquarters. Look for boxes on one side of the house to jump on, then press Z on the simian spring pad to get inside. Once inside, play the guitar gazump on the guitar pad to call up a light source. Carefully, walk the wooden planks to find two red banana bunches and a golden banana.

2. In the huge mushroom area, look for a jet pack barrel above a trampoline mushroom near the area's ground level. Fly to the top of the mushroom - above it is a bonus barrel. Fly into the barrel and complete Teetering Turtle Trouble! for the banana.

3. In the big oak tree area at night, look for a stump with a guitar pad on it. Play the guitar gazump to wake up an owl. Then, look nearby for a jet pack barrel. Jump in the barrel and fly up to the owl. Complete his flight course to make a bonus barrel appear atop the tree. Fly up there and land. Jump in the barrel and complete Busy Barrel Barrage for the banana.

4. At night, go to the mill and climb up the rope. Atop the mill tower is a blue stomp switch with Diddy's face on it. Simian slam it to open a doorway below the switch. Go in the doorway, and look up to find an "on" switch high above the winch. Shoot the switch, then chimpy charge the green arrow switch near the winch rope. This raises a banana in a cage and reveals a new guitar pad in front of the area where the thorned ivy walls and gate are. Leave the mill and head to that gate; since it's night, the gate should be gone. Play the guitar gazump on that new guitar pad to break the cage, then return to the mill for the banana underneath the winch tower.

5. Midway up inside the giant mushroom is a thin vine floor with red bananas on it. Also on it is a big red-haired Kasplat to kill for the piece. Return to Snide for the banana.

100 Red Bananas to Find

In each level there are 100 bananas for each Kong to find. Diddy has to collect the red ones. When you collect 75 you get a Banana Medal.
