Cristal Caves: Tiny 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. After Diddy activates the music pads around the big igloo island, look for the saxophone music pad. Play the saxophone slam while on the platform to open a door into the igloo. Go inside and use the fairy invincibility attack (hold down B) to kill the club-wielding Kremling. Immediately afterward, simian slam on the bulls-eye circular platform to get it to move. The platform moves in a fixed pattern, so learn its movement as Tiny tries to stomp on it three more times while it's moving. Time the slams so the platform moves toward Tiny as she begins her simian slam animation. If the club-wielding Kremling reappears, kill it with the invincibility attack before continuing - there should be enough time left over to finish the task, and the Kremling will only slow Tiny down. If successful within the time limit, the platform will disappear and a banana will fall. If not, leave and return to try again. (Don't forget the banana bunch and balloon floating above before leaving.)
2. Near Donkey's Barrel Blast switch and Cranky's lab, jump down into the water and look for an area with a huge ice wall and a mini monkey barrel in front of it. Get small and go into the hole in the ice wall. Go inside to find a bonus barrel. Jump in and complete Krazy Kong Klamour! for the banana (flip jump to get the banana). (Getting this banana activates the 3 bananaport that Chunky can use to get a floating banana balloon and green coins in this room).
3. In the area behind the waterfalls, look for a tall log building to the left of Candy's music shop. On the middle level of the building is a sax pad. Play the saxophone slam on it to unlock a door. Enter and kill all the purple Klaptraps inside (preferably with orange grenades) to make the banana appear. (Don't forget to get the two purple banana bunches and a purple balloon before leaving.)
4. From Funky's arsenal, look for a walkway that leads to a Diddy jet pack barrel. Across the walkway is a thin ledge with a mini monkey barrel. Pony tail twirl to the barrel to get small, then jump back to the walkway. Follow the walkway to a small hole in an ice wall. Go inside to activate the 4 bananaport (so Diddy can get his blueprint piece) and press Z while on the circle pad with Tiny's face on it. Tiny will be whisked to an ice dome with the banana (and a purple banana bunch) inside.
5. Use the 2 bananaport to reach a platform area above Candy's music shop in the area behind the waterfalls. Look for a walkway that leads to a big purple-haired Kasplat. Kill him for the piece, then return to Snide for the banana. (There's also a floating purple balloon above the Kasplat, so shoot that as well!)
100 Purple Bananas to Find
In each level there are 100 bananas for each Kong to find. Tiny has to collect the purple 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.
