Level 4 - Gloomy Galleon

Gloomy Galleon: Lanky 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 instrument upgrade 1 by visiting Candy's music shop with five coins. This increases the Kongs' maximum total musical energy.

TIP 2:
Unlock Cranky's Jetpac computer game and earn the Rareware coin. First, collect 15 banana medals (not coins!) and visit Cranky's lab. Score at least 5,000 points for the Rareware coin (make sure that you have items falling by rebuilding the rocket). Incidentally, this can be done at any of Cranky's labs after getting 15 banana medals.


Important Things to Do
  • Use Enguarde to look for a wooden box underwater in both the sunken ship and lighthouse areas. You will need Enguarde to unlock some vital areas and perform tasks, such as busting into treasure boxes (press B when close) and leaping out of the water.

  • Unlock the DK door in the underwater passage connected to the sunken ship area. With the water raised, go to the sunken ship area and swim into the box with the swordfish on it (directly above the horizontal sunken ship). Using the A button to gain speed, swim toward the floating DK star above the water. Jump through the star three times as Enguarde (the jump will take a little practice) to unlock a DK door at the end of a nearby underwater passageway.

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

Five Golden Bananas to Get

1. Near Funky's arsenal, look for a cactus-shaped rock formation. On one rock is Lanky's trombone pad. Play the trombone tremor to unlock a passageway into a sunken ship. Dive into the water and swim like mad to the horizontal sunken ship. Look for a small opening on the side and swim in. Grab the banana on top of the bed.

2. In the lighthouse area, swim to find a box with a picture of a swordfish on it. Swim into the box to turn into a swordfish. Swim to the bottom of the area (where Tiny gets small to visit the mermaid). Bust the treasure box in that area to reveal the banana. Transform back to Lanky to get the banana.

3. After Lanky unlocks the DK door in the sunken ship area, swim into the big treasure room that door protected. Look for a circle pad above water with Lanky's face on it. Press Z on the pad to balloon up to the upper ledges. At the very top ledge is a bonus barrel. Jump into it and complete Searchlight Seek for the banana.

4. In the cave area with the Kremling with the huge club, look for a switch with Lanky's face on it. Stomp the switch, jump in the waters where the sunken ships are, and quickly head left to the now-opened lower gate of the vertical sunken ship. Use Enguarde the swordfish to bust a treasure box covering a passageway that leads to the banana (make sure to bust all the boxes while Enguarde's there!).

5. Kill the big blue-haired Kasplat in the small cave where Chunky shoots the cannonballs at the moving targets (see Chunky strategy's for details). Get the blueprint piece and return to Snide for the banana.

100 Blue Bananas to Find

In each level there are 100 bananas for each Kong to find. Lanky has to collect the blue 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.
