Level 4 - Gloomy Galleon

Gloomy Galleon: 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 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 coconut 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. In the lighthouse area, raise the water. Swim onto the lighthouse island and look for a circle pad with Donkey's face on it. Press Z to enter the Blast Barrel stage. Find the DK star to complete it, which releases a seal into the water. Go to the area near Candy's music shop to find the seal again, who gives Donkey a banana in return.

2. After Donkey visits the seal, go into the cave behind him to race him. Beat the seal in the boat race with at least ten coins for the banana.

3. With the water raised, swim onto the lighthouse island and look for a green stomp switch with Donkey's face on it. Simian slam it to open a gate on the lighthouse, then quickly go up the ladder and enter. Inside, climb up the ladder and head up the spiral walkway. Pull the lever at the top to turn on the lighthouse. At the bottom near the exit, a banana will appear as a result - grab it before leaving!

4. Near Funky's arsenal, look for a cactus-shaped rock formation. On one rock is Donkey's music pad. Play the bongo blast on the pad. Dive into the water and swim like mad to the horizontal sunken wooden ship. Once inside, look for a cell room with a bonus barrel in it. Complete Krazy Kong Klamour for the banana.

5. In the big treasure room formerly blocked by the DK door that Lanky removes, the big yellow-haired Kasplat's on an upper ledge. Have Diddy activate the 4 bananaport, on an upper ledge near his bonus barrel in that room. Have Donkey take that 4 bananaport (the other end's found in the sunken ship area on a floating platform near Candy's music shop) to get to the big enemy. Get the blueprint piece and 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.
