PrinceWatercress plays Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest - Part 4 of 18


As we continue through Crocodile Cauldron, the levels get a little more difficult and a lot more interesting!

All maps by Tropicon.

Lava Lagoon

Bonus areas: One (1)



You'll meet another new animal buddy here: Clapper the Seal. You cannot ride on Clapper, but if you jump on him, you'll cool the water down. You definitely do not want to jump into the water while it is red like lava, because if you do, you're taking a hit.

The warp barrel is to the platform to the right of where you first meet Clapper. Just go all the way to the right edge and tag throw upwards to reach it.

Just before you reach the O, you will be able to jump up into a hidden nook to find an Invincibility Barrel. Use this to get to the continue point a little faster.

After the "No Enguarde" sign is a banana next to a box with a barrel on top of it. Take the barrel and throw it where the banana is. You'll enter the lone bonus area for this stage, where you will have to get on Enguarde and stab all the enemies. Thankfully, the path is very linear, and it should not take you long to get the Kremkoin here.

To get the DK coin, go to the right of the Clapper after the G, then (and make sure you cool the water down first) swim downwards through the crates to find a secret passage to a rather wide open space where you will find the DK coin. Thankfully, there is an Invincibility Barrel here.

Red-Hot Ride

Bonus areas: Two (2)


You'll have to stand on the blue balloons in order to use them. When you do, you'll be able to control them with Left and Right on the Control Pad. In order to gain (or regain) altitude, simply place the balloon on in a column of steam rising out of the lava, then wait until you have as much height as you need.

You'll meet a new enemy in this stage: the Yellow Klobbers. Unlike the green ones, who will just bounce you around, these guys will make you drop five bananas whenever they run into you. Pick them back up before they're gone for good

If you tag throw to the left at the beginning of the level, you'll get two hidden Banana Coins. Use them to save your game!

The warp barrel is just before the K. Leap on the balloon just before it, then take it to the next column of steam, then jump and tag throw upwards at the highest point.

You'll see Rambi in a crate. It pays to have him, since he can get rid of any Zingers in your path and act as an extra hit if necessary.

The first bonus area is at the dry land you will reach after the O. Use Rambi's supercharge to break the first wall you see. Destroy all the enemies to get the Kremkoin.

The second bonus area is below the continue point. Helicopter spin with Dixie after jumping over the lava and under where the Star Barrel is to get it. Here, you will be using the balloons to collect all the stars for a Kremkoin.

Also past the continue point is the DK coin. It will be directly above the N. Use a DK barrel or a tag throw to get it.

Near the end, you will have to jump from one balloon to another as if they are falling platforms. You will have to be fairly quick to get to a balloon near a column of steam.

Squawk's Shaft

Bonus Areas: Three (3)


The final warp barrel of the game is to the right of the starting point. You'll have to make a running jump and make a Helicopter Spin to the right past the Banana Coin to reach it.

The guys with the over-sized metal hooks for hands are the Krooks. If they see you, they will throw their hooks at you like boomerangs.

Here, you'll be using Barrel Cannons to get to the top as well as where you are needing to go.

The first bonus area is right after the third crook. After a series of three platforms, you will three Klimps. From there, jump to the right and use the Barrel Cannons to avoid the Zingers and get in. Throw the chests at the Red Zinger in the room and you'll find the Kremkoin in one of them.

The second bonus area is to the left of the continue point. Tag throw to the barrel cannon at the left, and you're there. Be careful with your aim on the Barrel Cannons and watch your aim to get the Kremkoin at the top.

After the O, you'll meet Squawks, who acts differently compared to the first game. Press B repeatedly to fly upwards, and press Y to spit eggs to destroy your enemies. Squawks is the hitbox here, if he hits anything, you're taking damage. If the Kongs hit something, it's okay.

At the first pair of Krooks on the parrot flight upwards, go right after destroying the Krooks. Go up, and you will find the DK coin and the third bonus level. Destroy all the Zingers with Squawks' egg spitting ability to get the Kremkoin.
