Level 5 - Fungi Forest

Fungi Forest: 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.

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. After all the Kongs activate the barrel cannons inside the mushroom, look for a blue stomp switch with Donkey's face on it. Simian slam it, then quickly run to the barrel cannon on the lower level. If done quickly, the cannons will shoot Donkey to the banana in time.

2. During the day, visit the area with the mill surrounded by water. Go inside the mill and look for a ? box. Simian slam the box to reveal a stomp switch with Donkey's face on it. Simian slam it to open the fence door to an area with three levers in it. Pull the levers in the sequence printed on a well-hidden sign in that room (the numbers refer to the number of dots on the floor in front of each lever). For those too lazy to look for the sign, here's the sequence: 2-1-1-3-2. Complete this task to move the golden banana in the mill to a cage outside it. Sadly, that cage is locked during the day, so return to the tree clock to make it night, then return back to the mill. The cage behind the mill entrance should now be unlocked, so grab the banana.

3. In the area with the giant mushroom, have Diddy use a jet pack barrel to fly up to the ledges outside the mushroom (Diddy will find that barrel atop a springy red mushroom). Once on the platform, look for a character switch barrel next to a circle pad with Donkey's face on it. Switch to Donkey and press Z on the pad to enter the Barrel Blast stage. Shoot through the barrels until Donkey reaches a bonus barrel. Complete Peril Path Panic for the banana.

4. At night, head to the mill area and look for a thorn ivy wall. During the day, a gate completes the wall, but at night, it's open. Go through the opening to a large building surrounded by a thorn ivy wall. On the left side of the building is an invincibility barrel. Use it and run behind the building to find a thorn-protected stomp switch. Simian slam it. This opens the building's front door. Once inside, look for a ? box on the lower level. Simian slam it to break the box and reveal another stomp switch. Simian slam that switch to reveal vines on the upper level that lead to a bonus barrel. Before time expires, quickly run to a green ladder and climb to the upper level. Swing on the vines to the bonus barrel. Complete Minecart Mayhem for the banana. (Don't forget the three yellow coins in the water trough before leaving the building!).

5. At night, head to the mill area and look for a thorn ivy wall. During the day, a gate completes the wall, but at night, it's open. Go through the opening to a large building surrounded by a thorn ivy wall. Behind the building and its surrounding wall is a character switch barrel guarded by a big yellow-haired Kasplat. Kill him for 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.
