Level 5 - Fungi Forest

Fungi Forest: 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 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 Chunky destroys two boxes inside the mill to reveal a hidden entryway for Tiny (see Chunky's strategy for details), switch to Tiny and return to the mill at night. Look for a mini monkey barrel near the little entrance Chunky unblocks. Shrink and go inside. Look for a box-filled area with an entrance with a moon symbol above it. Inside, Tiny will fight small spiders, as a big one watches. (An easy way to complete this task is to keep moving and press B once to roll into the spiders. Avoid pressing B when not moving, as this freezes Tiny up and makes her vulnerable to attack.) When the big spider opens its eye, switch to the weapon aiming screen and shoot the eye six times to make the spider shrink. Kill that final small spider for the banana.

2. In the large oak tree area, look behind the tree for a small hill. Behind the hill is a mini monkey barrel. Shrink, then run and flip jump on top of the saxophone pad in front of the hill. While still small, play the saxophone slam while on the pad to get the parrot to lift Tiny up to the top of the hill. Jump down the hole. Kill all the purple Klaptraps inside with orange grenades to make the banana appear. Grab it. (Don't forget the banana bunch on top of that hill. Repeat the process to get on top of the hill, but turn big after landing to grab those bananas.)

3. After getting the golden banana in the hill behind the large oak tree, a lavender bean will appear. Grab the bean, then use the cannon to leave. Go to the area near Funky's arsenal and run to the fenced-in circular patch of barren soil. A plant should appear. To the right of the plant is a mini monkey barrel. Shrink and run to the front of the plant; there's a saxophone pad. While small, play the saxophone slam while on the pad. A parrot will pick Tiny up and carry her to the banana.

4. Go inside the bottom of the giant mushroom. Look for a blue stomp switch with Tiny's face on it. Simian slam the switch to reveal a bonus barrel above the switch - but on a green platform several levels higher. Run and take two ladders up the mushroom, then head left and jump twice to reach the platform with the barrel on it. Jump in the barrel before time runs out and complete Speedy Swing Sortie for the banana. (When completing the Speedy Swing Sortie, use Tiny's pony tail twirl to travel from treetop to treetop when no vine is available. Don't waste time swinging back and forth either; jump on every vine upswing to move more quickly.)

5. Outside the large mushroom, in a lower area, is a wooden circular platform with a big purple-haired Kasplat guarding five purple coins. Kill him for the 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.
