Level 6 - Cristal Caves

Cristal Caves: Chunky 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 super duper simian slam by visiting Cranky's lab with seven coins. This lets all the Kongs simian slam the red stomp switches.

TIP 2:
Get the third life melon by visiting Candy with seven coins to increase all the Kongs' health meter.

TIP 3:
Get more musical energy by visiting Candy with nine coins.

TIP 4:
Get ammo belt 2 by visiting Funky's arsenal with five coins. This gives the Kongs the ability to carry more ammo (up to 200 rounds).

TIP 5:
Activate the sniper ability by visiting Funky's arsenal with seven coins. This gives the Kongs the ability to zoom in on targets and shoot from afar. In the weapon aiming view, press C-right to zoom in and Z to slow down the crosshair movement.


Important Things to Do
  • Get the gorilla gone by visiting Cranky's lab with seven coins. When Chunky finds a circular pad with Chunky's face on it, press Z to turn him invisible.

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

Five Golden Bananas to Get

1. In the area with the miniature ice castle surrounded by Lanky's switches, look for a walkway that leads to a boulder. Lift the boulder and carry it across a wooden plank to a ledge with a red boulder switch on it. Press Z to place the boulder on the switch, which breaks the ice in a hidden area across from Cranky's lab. Head across the water to the walkway that leads to Donkey's Barrel Blast platform. After jumping the three gaps to the walkway with that platform, look for an ice wall with bananas behind it. Primate punch the wall to break it. Go inside and look for a boulder and a Hunky Chunky barrel. Use the ladder to get big, then pick up the boulder and drop it onto the rotating boulder switch. That breaks open an ice dome in the area with the big igloo. Swim there for the banana.

2. After Diddy activates the music pads around the big igloo island, look for the triangle music pad. Play the triangle trample while on the pad to open a door into the igloo. Go inside to find a rabbit strapped to a TNT barrel. Destroy all the fire monsters seeking to light the TNT by punching them before they get too close. If the rabbit survives past the time limit, Chunky will be awarded with a banana.

3. In the area behind the waterfalls, look for a tall log building to the left of Candy's music shop. On the lower level of the building is a triangle pad. Play the triangle trample on it to unlock a door. Once inside, avoid the moving searchlights at all costs, or it's instant death. Stay to the outside edges of the walls at all times, moving in only to simian slam the circular bulls-eye platform. The lights move in fixed patterns, so Chunky can learn when his window of opportunity exists to simian slam a platform. Slam that platform three times (it'll move around) to make a new circular pad appear with Chunky's face on it. Keep avoiding the lights, then press Z while on it to turn invisible - then, the lights don't matter. Collect the bananas and jump into the barrel to complete Searchlight Seek for the golden banana (jump again to grab it).

4. At the very start of the level, look for a translucent glass ice wall with bananas behind it. Primate punch the ice wall to open a pathway. Inside is a circular pad with Chunky's face on it. Get on it and press Z to turn invisible, and the banana will appear for Chunky to grab. (Return to this area with Donkey to collect yellow coins and a floating yellow banana.)

5. Go to the island with the large igloo on it. Atop is a big green-haired Kasplat. Use the flip jump (hold Z then press A) to get up to the top. Kill the Kasplat for the piece, then return to Snide for the golden banana. Better yet, play the triangle trample to kill the Kasplat from afar, then jump up.

100 Green Bananas to Find

In each level there are 100 bananas for each Kong to find. Chunky has to collect the green 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.
