Level 5 - Fungi Forest

Fungi Forest: Lanky 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
  • Unlock the gate to the big oak tree. In the giant mushroom area, look for a passageway blocked by a black iron gate. Climb up a nearby mushroom to see the grape switch above it. Shoot the switch. Now, all Kongs have access to the big oak tree area.

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

Five Golden Bananas to Get

1. At night, go to the mill. Look for a circular pad with Lanky's face on it. Use the baboon balloon skill to float to the roof. On the room, look for an alcove with a bunch of bananas on it. Go in the alcove and stomp the blue switch with Lanky's face on it. Shoot down all the bats that appear for the banana. (Don't forget the two red coins in this room for Diddy as well!).

2. Use the 5 bananaport in the giant mushroom area to get to the top. Use the orangstand skill to climb up the red mushroom head. At the top is a Korporal Klump and a blue stomp switch with Lanky's face on it. Kill Klump and simian slam the switch. Quickly run back down to the circular wooden ledge to find an open passageway right of the 5 bananaport. Inside are five mushrooms. Stomp them in the order shown on the wall chart: Donkey (yellow), Diddy (red), Tiny (Purple), Chunky (Green), and finally, Lanky (blue). Once completed, a bonus game barrel will appear. Jump into it and complete Krazy Kong Klamour! for the banana. (The moment the banana appears, immediately press the analog joystick in that direction and fire simultaneously. Any delay will mean your shot will miss as the screen goes black. There's no time to think about a shot!).

3. Use the 5 bananaport in the giant mushroom area to get to the top. Use the orangstand skill to climb up the red mushroom head. At the top is a Korporal Klump and a blue stomp switch with Lanky's face on it. Kill Klump and simian slam the switch. Quickly run back down to the circular wooden ledge to find an open passageway left of the 5 bananaport. Inside are bees and two trampoline mushrooms. Kill the bees first (it'll make things easier) and jump onto the mushrooms. Aim Lanky's jumps toward the center of the room, as a golden banana lies above. If Lanky's having trouble, try using his float move (press B while in midair) to maneuver with more precision.

4. Lanky can't complete this until he learns the orangstand sprint in the Crystal Caves level. During the day, head to the oak tree area and look for a clearing with a checkered finish line and a tomato house. Play the trombone tremor on the trombone pad there to wake up the bunny. Beat the bunny in two hurdle races for the banana. (The key to winning the second race, in addition to using the orangstand sprint barrel and having at least 15 coconut crystals for the race, is to graze many of the log checkpoints. Rather than jump in the middle of each checkpoint, Lanky can jump through a flag on the edge to run a straighter path. Don't follow the rabbit's path either; after making the turn around the hill, Lanky can graze the checkpoint closest to Diddy's jet pack barrel from the other direction, so Lanky doesn't have to truly jump over it! If executed correctly, Lanky can then immediately spin around and head to the finish in the lead.)

5. In the big oak tree area, look under the tree near the trunk for a big blue-haired Kasplat. Kill him for the piece, then return to Snide for the banana.

100 Blue Bananas to Find

In each level there are 100 bananas for each Kong to find. Lanky has to collect the blue 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.
