Donkey Kong Country Returns Wiki Guide

7-6 Switcheroo

Note: This level has one of three SECRET SWITCHES you must activate to continue to the World 7 Boss. Scroll down to see the switch location.

Touch the glowing red or blue circles on the walls to change which platforms you can stand on.

Puzzle Piece 1[edit]

Roll jump left from the blue box on the cart to enter a passage that leads to a Blast Barrel. Can you guess where it takes you? That's right, a bonus area!


Swing on the second vine through the blue circles and swing back through the gap so you have a platform to stand on while collecting the K and bananas.

Hit the blue circle by the purple balls of electricity then run back to the left and ground pound the broken bit of flooring. The Blast Barrel underneath will lead you to this level's big red button.


You'll see it as you're climbing the red and blue platforms.

Puzzle Piece 2[edit]

This one's a lot easier with Diddy Kong. Trip the switch, then jet back to the ledge. Now roll jump across and make your way up to the Puzzle Piece.

Puzzle Piece 3[edit]

This is another good one to have Diddy Kong for. Hop along the upper blue blocks then roll jump to the platform with the Blast Barrel. It will blast you to a bonus area.


While bouncing off the tires, if you pass through a switch on the way up, make sure you pass through one on the way down so you still have a platform to land on.

Press the red circle when the purple orbs are in front of the red wall and it will knock them off the platform.

Puzzle Piece 4[edit]

Roll jump left from the blue platform under the green chains. You should trip the switch and land on a red platform. Roll jump left through the next switch to a blue platform with the Puzzle Piece on it.


Drop down from the chains onto the red platform. Duck under the purple orb and hop over the tire to collect the G.

Puzzle Piece 5[edit]

While climbing the final red and blue platforms, roll jump left from the second blue platform to reach a ledge where the Puzzle Piece is resting.

Time Trial Tip

Don't be afraid to plow through the purple laser balls. You'll take a hit but saving time is the important thing.

Instead of jumping back and forth between the two walls with the green chains, roll into the glowing red circle and jump to the next platform.
