Level 2 - Angry Aztec

Angry Aztec: 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 guitar gazump by visiting Candy's music shop with three coins. To use the guitar gazump, look for any circular pad with a guitar picture on it. Stand on it, then press Z+C-up to play the guitar.

  • Get rocketbarrel boost by visiting Cranky's lab with five coins. This lets Diddy use any barrels with his face on them. Jump into the barrel to activate a jet pack, which lets Diddy explore while in the air. This uses crystal coconuts, so land anywhere to deactivate the move.

  • Unlock the large brown door to the rest of the level after Diddy gets the guitar gazump, look for the small green island next to Candy's music shop with the character switch barrel on it. Climb up a tree to find vines that lead to the top of the llama's cage. Swing across to find a guitar pad. Play the guitar to open the large brown door.

  • Free Tiny Kong by going to the building next to Candy's music shop. Shoot the peanut switch on the side of the building to enter. Simian slam on Diddy's green stomp switch inside to activate a series of red platforms. Use Diddy's flip jump (hold Z, then press A) to get to the top - move quickly, since the platforms disappear. Then shoot the switch across the way and quickly move across the red platform. Play Diddy's guitar gazump on the guitar pad there to melt the water below. Dive in the water and follow the red bananas. Once above water, look for a switch with Diddy's face and chimpy charge it. Finally, spell out KONG by chimpy charging into the letter switches there to free Tiny Kong.

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

Five Golden Bananas to Get

1. Get the golden banana Tiny leaves behind in her cage after freeing her.

2. Look for an area with four gongs set up as corners atop a square. Use Diddy's chimpy charge to make each one disappear. A tower should appear when you're done. Now, in the large area where the 3 and 4 bananaports lie together, head left at the 3 bananaport up the stairs. Jump into Diddy's jet pack barrel and fly atop the tower.

3. In the large area where the 3 and 4 bananaports lie together, head left at the 3 bananaport up the stairs. Jump into Diddy's jet pack barrel and fly atop a building with a red roof and a green Diddy switch. Simian slam the switch to rotate the pillar in the middle of the area. Return to Diddy's jet pack barrel and fly again. Go to the now-rotating pillar in the middle of the area and shoot peanuts to feed the rotating mouth (to do this easily, fly close, use the A button to hover and the B button to shoot, then let go of the joystick). Once enough peanuts are fed, some switches should appear on the building that Diddy previously landed on. Shoot the switch to enter. Find the golden banana in the building by shooting at several switches to open up new passageways. Move quickly because a timer kicks in after the banana's grabbed, making Diddy a target until he can escape the passageways.

4. In the large area where the 3 and 4 bananaports lie together, head left at the 3 bananaport up the stairs. Jump into Diddy's jet pack barrel and fly through the sun medallion atop the pillar at least three times. A cage near Snide's should unlock. Return to Diddy's jet pack barrel and complete the bird's flying mission. Then, fly to get the golden banana in the sun medallion atop the pillar.

5. Find the Jet Pack barrel atop a palm tree near the llama's cage. Fly to the other building in the area. A blue enemy stands at the top. Land near him and defeat him 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.
