Level 3 - Frantic Factory

Frantic Factory: 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:
Get the ammo belt 1 by using any Kong, then visit Funky's Arsenal with three coins. The belt increases the amount of ammo the Kongs can carry.

Important Things to Do
  • Get the simian spring by visiting Cranky's lab with seven coins. This activates the circular pads with Diddy's face on them. Press Z on each pad to super jump up to higher areas.

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

Five Golden Bananas to Get

1. Go to the testing room where the building block tower is. Look for a pad with Diddy's face on it, close to the building block tower. Press Z on the pad to jump up. At the very top, use the flip jump to get to Diddy's pad at the very top of the tower. Press Z to jump into the bonus barrel. Complete the bonus stage successfully, then press Z again to jump and get the banana. (Don't fall down without the banana!)

2. In the research and development room (where the 2 bananaport leads to), look for a guitar pad to play on. Enter the room and use the chimpy charge to input the number sequences shown on the three doors. Defeat all the enemies behind each door to make the banana appear.

3. From the upper ledge of the research and development room, look for a doorway that leads to a pit. Fall down the pit. Simian slam on the green stomp switch with Diddy's face on it, then quickly swing to the bonus barrel that appears. Complete Beaver Bother for the banana.

4. After Donkey turns on the power to the production room (see Donkey's strategy for details), go to the production room. Simian slam the green stomp switch with Diddy's face on it. Using the elevator to the conveyor belt, carefully make Diddy's way to the top (there's one tricky jump onto a rotating walkway, but Diddy can handle it). Once on the walkway, trigger the 4 bananaport - this'll make things a lot easier for the rest of the Kongs. Continue climbing way up until Diddy reaches two rotating walkways. Wait until both stop moving, then quickly run across. Hop on the platform with Diddy's face on it and press Z to reach the banana.

5. Kill the big red-haired Kasplat walking around on the production room's ground level. Get the blueprint piece and 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.
