Cristal Caves: 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.
1. Look for the Barrel Blast pad on a wooden walkway across from Cranky's lab. Press Z to start the Barrel Blast stage. Explore until Donkey reaches a bonus barrel. Blast into it and complete Busy Barrel Barrage for the banana.
2. In the area behind the waterfalls, look for a tall log building to the left of Candy's music shop. In front of the building is a bongo pad. Play the bongo blast on it to unlock a door. Enter and kill all the bees inside for a banana. (The easiest way is to grab the homing ammo, then stand atop one corner to avoid the bombs and trap floors.)
3. It helps to have three life melons first before attempting this one. After Diddy activates the music pads around the big igloo island, look for the bongo platform. Play the bongos to open up a door. Go inside and look for a rotating ice maze. In the center is a floating yellow balloon and a golden banana. Some great reflex skills are needed here, but here's the basic technique. As Donkey enters the ice maze, it'll start to rotate counterclockwise. Do not move left or right - let the maze suck Donkey in, only moving up and down to avoid the rotating walls. Once the maze stops spinning, immediately continue walking into the maze, which will soon spin in the other direction. Keep up with the spinning as Donkey slowly makes his way toward the center. By the time the maze slows down to switch directions, Donkey should be in the very middle of the maze, where the banana lies. (The maze also has several stray bananas, if Donkey's still missing a couple, make sure to check here).
4. From the 2 bananaport in the area behind the waterfalls, walk on a wooden plank to a log cabin with a bongo pad in front of it. Play the bongo blast while on it to open the door to the cabin. Inside, simian slam all the matching colored squares within the time limit for the banana. Use the floor stomp switches to move from floor to floor.
5. At the miniature ice castle surrounded by Lanky's switches, follow a walkway to a circular stone platform. A wooden plank connects to a stone ledge with a big yellow-haired Kasplat. Kill him for the piece, then 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.
