Level 4 - Gloomy Galleon

Gloomy Galleon: Tiny 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 feather switches. This lets the other Kongs reach certain areas in Gloomy Galleon.

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

Five Golden Bananas to Get

1. Near Funky's arsenal, look for a cactus-shaped rock formation. On one rock is Tiny's saxophone pad (use the flip jump to get on top without raising the water). Play the saxophone slam on the pad. Dive into the water and swim like mad to an opening in the horizontal sunken ship. Once inside, look for a banana in one of the cell rooms.

2. Directly underneath Funky's arsenal is a metal pipe structure deep in the water. Above it is a mini monkey barrel. Use the barrel and swim into a small hole at the end of the pipe. Inside is a bonus barrel (it's behind a control console). Complete Big Bug Bash for the banana.

3. In the lighthouse area, swim deep to find three shell-shaped towers. In front is a mini monkey barrel. Use it to get small, then swim in the little hole in front of the center tower. Talk to the mermaid, then swim to the big treasure room in the sunken ship area. After Lanky opens the DK door to this room, look for a mini monkey barrel above the big treasure chest. Get small, then swim in the keyhole of the large chest. Collect all five pearls, one in each clam (don't get bit!), then revisit the mermaid for the banana.

4. In the cave area with the Kremling with the huge club, look for a switch with Tiny's face on it. Stomp the switch, run to the sunken ship area, and quickly swim left to the now-opened upper door on the vertical sunken ship. Swim through a hole in the wall to find a bonus barrel. Complete Kremling Kosh for the banana.

5. Fight the big purple-haired Kasplat near the 3 bananaport in the main cave area (near Cranky's lab). Get the blueprint piece and return to Snide for the banana.

100 Purple Bananas to Find

In each level there are 100 bananas for each Kong to find. Tiny has to collect the purple 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.
