Level 1 - Jungle Japes

Jungle Japes: 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.

Important Things to Do

  • Get the peanut popguns by visiting Funky's arsenal with three coins. This lets Diddy shoot peanut switches. Open the two gates that are in this level with your peanut popguns.

  • Get the chimpy charge by visiting Cranky's lab with three coins. Press B while holding Z to unleash a running shoulder attack that can destroy certain objects. Try using it on any object that looks suspicious.

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

Five Golden Bananas to Get

1. Head to the passageway before the lake and steppes area. Look for a gate with two peanut switches. Shoot both switches, then look in the middle of the room for a golden banana in plain view.

2. After Donkey uses the rhino to smash the four huts, look for a green stomp switch with Diddy's face on it. Simian slam it. A banana will appear next to Funky's arsenal. Quickly run to the 4 bananaport. Teleport to the lake and swim to the large vine that leads to Funky's arsenal. Climb up it and run left to the banana.

3. Head to the top of the steppes where the 2 bananaport lies. Shoot the peanut switch on the hill to reveal a circular walkway. Halfway up that circular path is an entrance. Inside, use the flip jump (hold Z, then press A) to get atop a flipped-over mine cart next to a peanut switch. Shoot the switch, then quickly run and jump up to the walkway that appears as a result. Across the walkway is a green stomp switch with Diddy's face on it. Simian slam it to make a banana appear at the top of the hill. Leave, shoot the peanut switch at the bottom of the hill again, then continue all the way up the hill for the banana.

4. Head to the top of the steppes where the 2 bananaport lies. Shoot the peanut switch on the hill to reveal a circular walkway. Halfway up that circular path is an entrance. Inside, look for a small fenced-in area guarded by a Klump. Use the Chimpy Charge to knock down the fence door. Kill the Klump inside and chimpy charge the green Lo button to slow down the conveyor belts. Before the Lo button deactivates, quickly run out to the green stomp switch with Diddy's face on it and simian slam it to open the big gate to the larger fenced-in area. Ignore the Klumps and run up the conveyor belt. At the end of the conveyor belts, jump in the square pipe and fall into the mine cart. Complete the mine cart roller coaster with at least 50 coins for the banana.

5. In the lake and steppes area, head to the far right passageway (with the 3 bananaport in front) and look for a big red-haired Kasplat guarding three red coins. Kill the Kasplat for the blueprint piece, then 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. 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.
