You have no idea how much of a pain this level was to record. If it wasn't the fire cave, it was the turtle. If it wasn't the turtle, it was the invisible maze. The it was the worst, but if you use the camera well, it can save you a lot of hassle.
Jungle Doldrums
You'll need to turn on the log ride as well as destroy the parrot in this stage in order to complete it.
You start off as the hyena. Drop down and circle around the hippopotamus and laugh it to death with the laugh attack. It has a water spit (A button) as well as a mine drop (B button), and both can hurt, so you'll want to do this while taking as little damage as possible. Once again, you have to keep the laugh attack going long enough to do any significant damage, and you have to be dangerously close to the enemy you want to defeat. Once you defeat the hippo, take control of it.
The camera near the log ride will show you the complete loop around the level, including the fire pit that Dan mentions.
As the hippo, go into the water to walk on the surface below and hit the switch turning on the log ride. You can then turn back into the hyena and jump from log to log. Be careful when jumping, as the logs can do a little bit of damage if they hit you from the side. Also, make sure you're in the center of the logs before jumping. And before you ask, yes, you have to use the logs to get to the other side; you won't be bale to do that by just jumping out of the water.
On the other side, take out the elephants with the laughter attack. It takes a bit of time, but it will help out in the long run with this level. After that, push the rocks so you can get the Power Cells here as well as jump to the green area that leads to the next part of the level, which is the fire cave.
At the fire cave, you'll need to watch out for the moving walls as well as the rocks that shoot out of the lava and hit the ground nearby. For the walls, you'll want to jump back towards the floor before you get pushed far enough towards the lava to ensure you get to the other side. As for the rocks, you'll want to be patient and wait for those.
On the other side, use the hyena's laugh attack to take care of the elephant. Take control of the elephant, then corner the turtle and hit it with the water attack. You'll then want to take control of the turtle for the hardest part of the level: the invisible maze about the fire pit.
As the turtle, you'll want to keep firing your weapon in order to find where the invisible floor is. The rain machine nearby is supposed to help you figure out where the pit is if you hit the switch, but it does not do the best job. There are rocks that pop out of the pit that hit the invisible floor, but those are spread out. The turtle's A button weapon is far more reliable. For best results, you'll want to carefully inch forward just a bit and fire constantly. If you see an explosion in front of you, that means invisible floor will be there. If you don't, you're about to run into a pit. Change direction and fire towards other locations to find out where you need to turn and go in order to get through this maze, and rotate the camera so you don't accidentally fall off while trying.
Once you reach the other side, destroy the parrot. The parrot will be close to where you come out of the maze from, and if you know what you're doing, you can destroy it with a flurry of shots before it can fly away and attack you. Not surprisingly, the parrot attacks - and controls - the same way that the seagull from the ice levels does.
You'll now want to take control of the parrot and fly through the level. After all, why would you want to go through the invisible maze again? Fly towards the exit, but don't take it yet. Instead, fly back to the starting. There is a platform you can only reach as the parrot, which has the last two Power Cells. Also, go back to where you started the level. There is a platform on the tree that only the parrot can reach. Fly up to it, then keep flying your way up the tree. You'll find the trophy sitting there on a branch that you wouldn't have seen as any other animal, so you might as well fly over and get it. After that, you're finally done. Head to the exit.
