General Strategy
V. Bonus Game Tips
In General
Most of the mini-games require little strategy and more
hand-eye coordination. The best advice? Don't stink!
For the Melon Shooting games that Require the Kong
to clear the Path for Fairies or Keep Turtles Spinning
Stick to a top row and work from left to right, then reload.
Then work your way from the bottom row in a left to right
shooting pattern. Don't wait for any signals to shoot;
just follow that pattern repeatedly like a robot to stay ahead of the curve.
Searchlight Seek Tip
Generally, the Klaptraps begin their path by walking in a circle.
By watching where they start and how big their circle walk is,
the Kong can predict their intended location. So don't necessarily
aim at a Klaptrap; aim to where the Klaptrap's expected to walk.
Shoot as it begins to near the crosshairs. Also, don't waste bullets,
as that scares the Klaptraps into running faster and being more squirrelly.
Big Bug Bash! Tip
Lay off the swat button, as repeated swats just make the bugs fly above
the swatter longer. To trick the bugs, try swatting as close as possible
to the bug, then quickly swatting again in that area, while pressing the
joystick in the opposite direction from where the bug is! It defies logic,
but the computer expects the Kong to follow the bug's path, rather than
try to deliberately miss it - but this tactic works surprisingly well.
Beaver Bother! Tips
This bonus game doesn't get tough until the Creepy Castle level, where it
ranks as one of the toughest golden bananas in the game. To save time, try
for a smaller goal, for example, five in 20 seconds. That way, if the Kong's
not on schedule, just press Start and restart the bonus stage. To get the
beavers in the hole, try cutting off the beavers' path by overtaking them
close to the hole's edge, so they're forced to fall - it's best visualized as
a whirlpool drain type of movement. Make sure to flip directions every once
in a while because the computer does get wise to any trend in movement. Also,
avoid overuse of the growl button, since the beavers can be squirrelly. Try
using the growl in doses of no more than two in succession. Early on, the
easy way to complete levels is to wait for new beavers to materialize, then
immediately scare them toward the hole before they get the chance to begin
their random movement patterns. Also, avoid getting caught in a group of beavers,
as this may cost the Kong time.
Splish Splash Salvage Tips
This level's tough mainly because of the camera angle. If a Kong's having trouble
finding the last coin, it's above water. Also try getting the two middle coins first,
as they are the most difficult to get because of the camera angle. Finally, use the
B button whenever you're close to a coin to slow down and use more precise movement
with the joystick - overuse of the A button usually causes the swimmer to misjudge
and overshoot a coin.
