You'll see it near the start. Ground pound above it to collect it.

Puzzle Piece 1[edit]

Run left right at the start to find a hidden cave with a couple goodies including the first Puzzle Piece.

Be careful! Some of the silhouetted bushes are actually mimics.


Ground pound below it to level out the platform underneath it.

Stand in the middle of the four boxes. If you're in just the right spot, the rocks in the background will form the shape of a banana. Stay there for a few seconds to unearth a bunch of goodies.

Ground pound on the broken slab of ground just past the aforementioned area to drop down into a pit. Walk right or left to find even more goodies!

Puzzle Piece 2[edit]

Stand in the middle of the four boxes and let them sink into the ground. This will open an underground area with the Puzzle Piece.


Barrel blast out of the area with Puzzle Piece 2 and head back to the left. The N is by the palm trees.

Puzzle Piece 3[edit]

Run to the right and under the platform with the frogoon. Go through the wall to find the Puzzle Piece.

Puzzle Piece 4[edit]

On the boardwalk you'll find two broken platforms. Ground pound to straighten them out and climb them to the Puzzle Piece.


It's in a covered pit, just like the K.

Puzzle Piece 5[edit]

Jump over the stone dragon head. The Puzzle Piece is in a cave just past it. Jump against the far wall to find it.

Ground pound the pillar in front of the stone dragon head to open the path out of the level.

Time Trial Tip
Grab the DK Barrel at the beginning and you can simply roll through almost the entire stage.
