Level 5 - Fungi Forest

This mushroom-filled level introduces two new gameplay elements. First is a time factor: day and night. Using a huge clock in the middle of the level to change the time, the Kongs must perform certain tasks under the moonlight. Second is a huge mushroom - perhaps the first example of a truly vertically designed level area.

However, don't let these new elements intimidate the Kongs. With nearly all Cranky's abilities learned, this level should prove more fun than frustrating. One of Lanky's golden banana's in this level can't be obtained without the Orangstand Sprint skill learned in the next level, Crystal Caves. This makes Fungi Forest the only level in the game (other than DK Isles) in which the Kongs can't leave with 25 golden bananas the first time through.

Fungi Forest: Level FAQ

Here are answers to fundamental questions that players may have about the Fungi Forest level. If the question isn't answered here, be sure to check each character's Important Things to Do list for this level as well as the 100 Percent Strategy section of this guide:

Where's Cranky's Lab?
It's in plain view, atop a hilltop around the giant mushroom area.

Where's Funky's Arsenal?
Look for a green tunnel path at the start of the level. Tiny and Chunky must shoot switches to unlock two gates. Funky's arsenal is in plain view in the area behind those gates.

Where's Snide's HQ?
It's in the area with the mill beyond a leaf-covered wall divided by a stony path. Snide can only be visited during the day.

Where's Candy's Music Shop?
Oddly enough, Candy's music shop doesn't appear to be in this level.

Where is K. Rool's Battle Arena?
It's in the giant mushroom area, but only easily accessible at night. Using Diddy's jet pack or the 5 bananaport, get to the top of the mushroom and look for a square hole in the circular wooden walkway. Below is a hidden wooden platform with the grey pad on it. Press Z on the pad and survive Kamikaze Kremlings for the crown.

Where are the Two Fungi Forest Banana Fairies?
1. The first can only be found by Diddy. After getting the golden banana at night in the house next to Snide's headquarters, the fairy will appear nearby. Don't leave the house without getting a picture of it.
2. A fairy is in the building where Donkey gets a golden banana by completing Minecart Mayhem (the building, surrounded by an ivy wall, can be found at night in an area adjacent to the mill). Inside the building, on the upper level, is a ? box. Simian slam it to free the fairy.

How do I Change Night and Day?
At the start of the level, use the barrel cannon to get atop the tree clock. There are two switches: one for day and one for night. Shoot the appropriate one.
