I have tried to be as simple but as complete as possible with the
walkthroughs of all the levels of Donkey Kong for Game Boy. However, I
am only human so I must have made some mistakes somewhere in this. I
would like to fix it for any other versions of this that I may write so
if you find any major mistakes please E-Mail me at Mordruk@hotmail.com.
If you have Yahoo Messenger I am usually on as thedeathwizard. But E-
Mail works the best for me:) When I say major mistakes it shouldn't be
that I mispelled a word or it takes 3 hits instead of 2 to kill
something. It should be a mistake that would keep the player from
completing that level. Any comments on this FAQ are welcomed always and
any ideas for another version of this are also welcome. I know there
are MANY ways to complete these levels so mine might not be the easiest.
If you find a strategy that is easier than mine E-Mail me the strategy
and the level. I will post it in any updates and give you credit.
Again you can contact me at Mordruk@hotmail.com if you have anything to
say.

2-General Hints
========
If you are just looking for some little nudges to help you in this game
and not a solution then this is a good section to look in. These are
some of the general stuff that I found helped me a lot through the game.
First of all, never give up with the level. If a level is giving you a
hard time try to look at it differently. One of the hardest levels that
I barely beat the night I got the game turned out to be the easiest once
an 8 year old that had never played it beat the level on his first try.
If you really get stuck or have a short patiance like me then use this
FAQ.(that's what it is for) Another good thing is when you first start
out try to collect the 3 bonus items to get a bonus level. I found the
game much easier when you don't have to worry about lives. When I got
to the last level I had 93 lives so I didn't worry about losing the
game. I found that in the beginning levels when you see Donkey Kong run
to the next part of the game it shows Donkey Kond trying to stop Mario
some way but Mario does something to get around it. What he does is
usually the main idea of that whole level or you will need to do that to
pass the stages. However, in the ending levels the stuff Mario does
becomes less important and chances are you already figured out how to
use that trick in the previous levels. I hope these hints helped at
least a little bit and I didn't confuse too many people.

3-Level Strategies
========
This is obviously the main section of the FAQ so I have divided it into
sub-sections for easier reference. They are divided by the levels you
go to throughout Donkey Kong. They can also be found with pictures in
the instruction manual. The last level does not have a picture though.
It isn't that great so don't think your missing anything spectacular
like a Picasso painting.

---------------
A-Start
---------------
This is like a warm-up to the real game. I'm not sure but I think this
is a duplicate of the first stage in the original arcade Donkey Kong.
In these stages you can't collect all of the bonus items to get extra
lives in one stage. If your having problems with these stages this game
really isn't for you but then again maybe you just need a jump start to
get you rolling. So here it is also divided into individual stages.
Stage 1)This is simple enough, just climb the first ladder and dodge any
barrels if they come your way. If you keep dieing by the barrels just
jump to pick up the hammer and it will smash right through them. The
problem comes to when you want to climb a ladder the the next platform.
If you want to keep the hammer get under the ladder and through the
hammer then quickly climb up the ladder. If your fast enough you should
catch it. Beware though, the hammer does vanish after a short while so
don't stand around. All the levels end when you reach the platform that
Pauline is on or the platform next to her. If you touch Donkey Kong you
will die though so don't try to use the hammer on him.
Stage 2)This one is much more complex then the first stage. First of
all there are fireballs that hang around on the conveyer. The conveyer
itself is a problem because you tend to drift into the fireballs. These
firballs can be destroyed by the hammer as well. I would watch out for
the pies though, my friend said he could destroy the pies with the
hammer but for some reason the hammer just goes through the pies in my
game. Also, the ladder up to Donkey Kong to end the level extends up to
him at certain times. There is a heart that is a one up on the right
that you can get if you feel like it. These strategies are to just get
through the level, not to get all the bonus items. When you climb the
ladder be sure not to run into Donkey Kong.
Stage 3)This level introduces the elevators and the springs that Donkey
Kong has an endless supply of. Just use the elevators to jump from one
platform to the next till you get to the ladder that Donkey Kong is on.
Right after he throws the spring climb up and stand right under the
ladder of the first platform. The spring should hop over you. If you
try to rush it and climb up the ladder to end the level the spring could
kill you. After the spring has passed climb up and end this level.
Stage 4-BOSS)Every 4 levels you have to face Donkey Kong and try to kill
him. This level is simple. You will see near the edges of each
platform a little box that when you pass it will vanish. All you must
do is make all the boxes vanish(6 total) and you have beaten this stage
and won the first section out of 9 of Donkey Kong. All the other levels
are much longer than this one though. So be ready to fight Donkey Kong
many more times.
---------------
B-Big-City
---------------
This section has a total of 8 stages and 2 Donkey Kong fights. You can
tell by the red squares and the face of Donkey Kong for the next time
you will face him. Now you will be dealing with keys and locked doors.
The concept is simple:get the key and goto the door to end the stage.
But the catch is if you drop the key it will start blinking and if you
don't pick it up shortly it will go back to it's original place in the
stage. All of the stages(excluding the Donkey Kong fights) are like
this so get used to this huge key.
Stage 1)This is simple. The only thing is watch out for the fireball
thing with OIL on the bottom of it. That cannot be destroyed by
anything. Just climb the ladders up to the platform where the OIL
creature is going up and down and run passed him when he goes up. Climb
the ladder and go right to the key. Pick it up and you'll fall to the
lower platform. Just goto the door and the stage will end as long as
you still hold the key.
Stage 2)This stage is just a zig-zag of platforms. Climb the ladders up
and run passed the OIL when it goes up and start jumping your way
accross the platforms. Don't worry about the mouse that can walk up-
side-down because he can't hurt you if you touch him. Make your way to
the other end and watch out for the OIL again.(that wasn't meant to
rhyme) Now grab the key and make your way to the end with the ladder.
When you get there throw the key up and climb the ladder quickly. Grab
the key before it goes back to it's original spot and make your way to
the door.
Stage 3)This one is hard if you haven't played this game before. Climb
the telephone pole at the left end and jump to the platform. Jump over
to the next and climb the ladder to the key. I would wait till the
electrical spark that goes along the wire above stops and then jump on
the moving platform. On it's way down again jump off to the platform
with the door and go in to end this level. If you want to get the bonus
items just jump on the wire and hold up until you go really fast then
press the botton to fly in the air.
Stage 4-BOSS)Donkey Kong really does have an a problem with Mario for
some reason. The trick to this is to watch Donkey Kong and when he
jumps in the air and is about to land you jump in the air also. If you
don't you will be shocked for a moment and have a greater chance of
being hit from the junk that tumbles down. Just go to the left screen
and climb up the ladder then jump across the platforms to the right.
Jump up and save Pauline(try to save her at least) and Donkey Kong will
take her to the next part of the Big-City.
PREVIEW OF NEXT LEVELS-As with the action scene after you beat Donkey
Kong you will have to create bridges with the horizontal arrow box. It
will vanish after a short time so be quick. You'll know because the
music will speed up. If you have the sound down all the way because you
are annoying a family member then you just have to guess that your time
is running out.
Stage 5)This is like a demo level to show you how to use these boxes.
When you start out just jump or fall down to the ledge with the box on
it. If you keep landing on the spikes because your a bad aim then use
the ladders. Jump up and hit the box. Make a bridge to connect the
platform you are on to the one accross. Just line it up with your
platform and it will do the rest. (Note:The bridge will start vanishing
where you placed the square to make it. For harder levels start the
bridge close to you so you have time to run across it even if it starts
to vanish) Now quickly run across to the other side. Climb up the set
of ladders to the top. Pick up the key FIRST, then hit the box to
connect that platform to the door. See, that wasn't so hard.
Stage 6)Another demo level, this one deals with making ladders. I would
wait for to make the ladder until the fireball guy starts walking on the
right. That way you won't hit him while your climbing. Align the
square to make the ladder with the one below so you can just climb all
the way up instead of switching ladders. After you climb up hit the
other ladder box to the right. Make this ladder go all the way down
from your platform to the ground level. Make sure it is as far right as
possible. If it isn't you could run into the fireball guy and die. If
you do just jump to the right off of the ladder. After you go down you
see the two boxes. One horizontal and one vertical. Hit the horizontal
first and extand the platform that the key and the door are on. Now
make a ladder to connect to the platform you just made. Make sure it is
left of the bonus space ship item so it doesn't stop mid way. Again,
watch out for the fireball on your way up. Now get the key and get onto
the next level.
Stage 7)This level is kinda hard to explain so I'll go into more detail
than normally. Sorry for wasting your time with the text for those of
you who know what I'm talking about. Jump up to the right platform that
has a ladder connecting it to another small platform. Climb up the
ladder. Now hit the vertical box. See the platform with the sheep
walking along it? Make the ladder between that one and the small
platform on the left below it. Climb down and jump onto the moving
platform when it starts to the right. Then jump right to the next
platform. Jump up to hit the horizontal box and make a platform that
extands the one that the door is on. It will make a long line across
most of the screen. I would start the bridge on the right of the screen
incase it starts to vanish while your still crossing. Grab the key
quickly and ride the moving platforms up. Now just run left to the door
and your on your way to the main boss of the Big-City.
Stage 8-BOSS)Wow! This boss is...Donkey Kong! What a surprise. Since
this is the last level of one of the big sections you have to hurt
Donkey Kong. There is no way to reach Pauline so don't even think about
it. Just wait for him to throw the barrels that zig-zag their way down
to the main platform. Pick them up and jump up to either the platform
just to the right or the left of Donkey Kong. Throw the barrel at him
and he'll get stunned. 3 times and you'll beat the level and the Big-
City. Congrats!
C-Forest
As you can see from the little sequence here that you'll not be making
platforms in these levels but extending them to cross. These levels get
complicated when monsters start to crawl on them. But it's a lot of fun
to watch them fall if you pull the bridge back:) Doesn't this section
look...uh...um...long! This is normal for the following levels. The
only section that is longer is the section before the tower. It has 16
levels total. Ok, on with business.
Level 1)Goto the right and climb up the ladder. Don't worry about the
lady bug, they act like a mouse in the previous section and can't hurt
you. The actually become VERY useful in the following levels. Now on
the next...um..platform(sorta) the spined back isn't as helpful as the
lady bug, watch out for him(or her). Climb up the ladder and try to
pull the switch before our spined friend gets above you so you trap him
down there. Goto the left and nab the key. Goto the far right to the
elevator and go down. Jump off to the left and continue left to the
door where you started. If you think the spined guys are annoying in
this level, just wait till you see the one where you have to release
them to exit the level!
Level 2)This level is just plain annoying.(no further explanation
needed)Go to the right and climb the ladder to the switch. Push the
switch to the left. Don't pull it to the right because that will do
something else to the lifts. Now go on the lift to the left and ride it
to the top. Stay on the far left of the lift in case the spined monster
comes down the wall and hits you. Jump down the hole and time your
jumps of the lifts so you can jump all the way to the right where the
key is. Pick it up and CAREFULLY jump down. If you jump too far you'll
drop the key on the way and might lose it again. Now position yourself
under the ladder to the switch. Jump and throw the key up. Quickly
climb up the ladder and grab the key AND watch out for Mr. Spiney. Go
on the lift and jump up to the door to pass this not so fun level.
Level 3)Right about now I'm having 2nd thoughts about this FAQ but I'm
still typing so YOU can have help. (actually I'm way passed 2nd
thoughts, I'm on like 8th thoughts)I died on this level many times
simply because I wasn't patient with the seed spitting plants. Jump up
to the conveyers and stop under the lift. Duck until the seed passes
you. Jump up on the lift and ride it to the switch. You can now grab
that key and get out, but WAIT! This is where I died all the time. I
rushed it and got hit by the seed. My advice is to jump to the left
conveyers and just jump down when the seeds pass. If you try to go down
on the lift your almost sure to die.(or take more time than going my
way) Grab the key and get on your way to Donkey Kong.
Level 4-BOSS)Donkey Kong must REALLY love Pauline to go through all this
trouble to keep her away from you. In any case, climb the vines to the
top. You climb faster if you go between two instead of hanging onto
one. Watch out for the baby alligators(hey, you tell me) and hit the
strawberry if an alligator is below. Doesn't really help since Donkey
Kong keeps throwing them but at least your trying. Jump to the next set
of vines and climb down to the spring. Use the spring to get up to the
next set of vines. Watch Donkey Kong's patterns and try to go to the
left when he throws the one down. Jump over any baby alligators on the
way and climb up the vine so you can reach Pauline. Well, almost reach
before Donkey Kong gets her, yet again!
PREVIEW OF NEXT LEVELS-This sequence will not be directly related with
all the levels. It does sorta help when you face Donkey Kong and he is
throwing the barrels. Just do the handstand and wait for it to drop.
This does help with the tower because that is the only way to get the
barrels to hit him when you face him for the last time. The next four
levels are just a harder version of the ones before. Good luck(and god
speed!)
Level 5)This is the first water level in the game. Watch out for the
fish because if you touch them you die. Dive in the water and start to
swim to the right. Just wait for the fish to pass to the left and start
swimming under it or walk along the platform. Now you'll have to do
this fast. Swim up and hit the box. Make a bridge from the platform
that the key is on. It will extend to the door. Now jump up to the
little platform on the left. Jump up to the key. Quickly grab it and
run as fast as Mario's little feet will carry him and you'll make it in
time. Well you got passed your first water level. Congrats:)
Level 6)This is the level I hate. I just fooled around with the
switches till I got it. What you want to do is get the 2 lady bugs that
are climbing on the upper section to stay on the bottom with the other
two. Just wait till they cross the door and get on that little platform
then switch it to make them stay there. If you can get one to stay
there then that should work. Now make sure the door is up and the
bridges are connected. Run to the left and use the spring to jump up.
Now go to the right to the next spring. Don't mess with the switch to
the right. It does the same thing as the other one. Wait for the one
lady bug to pass you then jump up to the left and run. If the lady bug
starts toward you just back up and try again. Jump on the spring and
cross to the right. Then jump on the next one to the right and grab the
key. Then use the spring to go left and exit this level.
Level 7)This one is like the last one but they throw in some of the
spiny guys to make it more interesting. Run to the right to the switch.
Pull it to release the lady bugs and spiny guys. Now when they are
released push the switch again. Ok, now see the little platform to the
right,(the real one)wait till a lady bug gets on that then pull the
switch again. As soon as the lady bug gets on the real wall push the
switch. See how the lady bug is trapped now? Go left and use the
spring to get on the platform on the right. Cross to the right and
climb the ladder. When the trapped lady bug comes around jump on it so
you can ride it to the top. Jump to the left and go on the conveyers.
All you have to do is hole down until you pass under the spikes. Go up
the ladder and get the key. Go to the right and while your still on the
platform throw the key on the conveyer. Now quickly run to the left and
down the ladder, then grab the key as it comes out. Then go to the door
and get ready for another Donkey Kong fight.
Level 8-BOSS)This one is easy. Wait for the log thingy to come down and
jump on it. Then jum on one of the moving platforms when it starts back
up. Try to get the highest platform. Then jump to the vines. After
Donkey Kong throws a spring cross over to the far right vine. Climb up
it then climb to the left. After he throws another one jump down to the
left. Run over to the first ladder and stay there. The spring will
pass over you then you can climb up to end the level. Way to go!
PREVIEW OF NEXT LEVELS-This sequence is just funny but doesn't really
have anything to do with the next section. This next section will be
more annoying then the other but don't worry because you have this
trusty guide:) This section also shows one of the most annoying bad
guys. They are birds that fly around the screen and try to run into
you. If that doesn't work they also drop eggs on you.(yes they are
eggs)
Level 9)Go on the first platform and ride it to the top, watch out for
the bird. Now fall down and try to hit the horizontal box. If you hit
it make a bridge right below where you are so you don't die from the
fall. Now use the rar right platform and ride that to the top. Climb
down the ladder and pull the switch to change the elevators. Then go
and get the key. Ride the lift to the bottom and then go left to the
door. Only complicated thing in this level is the bird that is on a
mission to kill you.(must have been payed off by Donkey Kong)
Level 10)This level is one of my favorites. Whatever you do, don't jump
unless you have to. If you do it will wake up the flower guys and they
will charge at you. Go to the far right ladder and climb it. Climb the
next one and the one after that. When you get to the one where a flower
is on a seperate platform with the key you have to jump to the platform
then jump back to the one you were on. This will make the flower go a
little to the right. It will give you more time to get the key later.
Climb the ladder to the highest platform then climb down on the left.
Jump up to the key and read the following before you grab it. You will
have to jump and throw the key up to the highest platform right away
then climb up there before the flower hits you. It will be very close
but you'll make it. Then grab the key before it vanishes and you beat
that level. I think those flower guys are the best to mess around
with:)
Level 11)Like most levels there are a lot of ways to do this but I still
don't understand why the ladder box is there because it just seems to
make things harder for me. Make your way to the first row of moving
platforms by doing the handstand super jump trick. When you get to them
do another handstand then jump up to the next row. It seems if you hold
up when you do that jump you jump a little higher. When you get there
jump up to the next conveyers then jump to the platforms with the
handstand jump.(see it does come in handy) Get the key and CAREFULLY
make your way down to the door. Good luck with Donkey Kong.
Level 12-BOSS)Well your about to get rid of this evil forest level
forever. Just pick up the barrels and hit Donkey Kong 3 times. The
only extra thing that they added in this level were the springs that
make it a little easier(I think) to hit him. Well good luck with that
and now on to the Ship section!
---------------
D-Ship
---------------
This sequence does help with the next section. The slanted lines are
like the normal ones in the Big-City section but they launch you in a
direction and up. Thats about all that is new to this except for the
bad guys which are always new. The first level of this section took me
about 10 lives to pass but when my friend's little brother tried it he
showed me a MUCH easier way to pass it. That's the way I'll show you
and it was thanks to him that it is this walkthrough.
Level 1)The walking log guys are like the lady bugs except they can't
walk on the walls. They just walk in a straight line till they hit
something. Go to the right and climb the ladder. Jump on the log guys
and make your way to the right. Hit the box. See the little gap below
between the platform and the spikes? Connect it
and the log guy will walk along the spikes. Wait for a sec though and
make sure he is still walking on the spikes when the platform vanishes.
If he isn't do it again till he is stuck there. This is the way that is
much easier. You don't even want to here my way of doing this. It is
too complicated for me to even explain. Make your way to the left and
down. Jump on the log guy to get to the key. Pick it up and go to the
left to the door to pass this very easy level.
Level 2)This next level has a set of enemies that you wish you could
kill over and over because they get you so angry. When you start out
one of them will push you over the edge.(literally) When you get over
the edge the next one will TRY to. When he does jump over him and go to
the right. Climb up the ladder and go to the left. Jump up to the wire
and start swinging. Let go when you first start off. If you do it at
full speed you'll pass the key and have to do it again. Grab the key
and go down the hole. Go right and jump over the crab. Quickly throw
the key up and climb the ladder before the crab can get you. Grab the
key again and exit the level.
Level 3)Uh no! There are 4 doors now! Don't worry though, you only
have to open one of them with the key and that's the one on the far
left. Go left and jump over the pushy guy. Duck and the pushy guy will
push you to the other side. Do a handstand and jump over the wall to
the other side. Go left and jump on the elevator platforms. Grab the
key and go right. Throw the key at the bad guys to kill them. That
little black block you saw makes a little square. It is really an
annoying thing to use but you have to in some levels. Go right and
throw the key up. Do the handstand jump and get the key. Jump up and
go to the left side and throw the key up. Grab it and run to the left
door. See, nothing to worry about:)
Level 4-BOSS)Now you have to worry. This level looks really complicated
but it with my help you can pass it. Jump on one of the platforms and
watch out for the log that tries to smash you. When it passes to the
left jump on the next platform. Go to the left and go up the ladders to
the switch. Again use the handstand jump and push the trick. That will
get rid of the log trouble to the next switch. Go and pull that one.
Make your way to the right. Jump on the log and make it to the top.
Then go left and you beat one of the harder Donkey Kong levels.
PREVIEW OF NEXT LEVELS-Again this sequence doesn't help with anything
you don't already know. This next section is just the normal
annoyances. The boss this time is the main one so you have to use those
barrels so that's a little more annoying but you'll beat it. Wait till
you see the last time you face Donkey Kong!
Level 5)Go to the right and follow the line. Jump off if the spark gets
close to you. When it passes jump up and start twisting. When your at
full speed let go and you'll catch the next line.(be sure to hold up or
else you won't catch the next line) Hold up again and let go to go on
the next platform. Climb the ladder then go left to climb the next
ladder to the key. Go left and catch the elevator down to the door.
Yay, one more level out of the way out of 100.(yes I counted, there are
100 levels total)
Level 6)Ok, this level is all about timing. Go right and hit the box.
Make a bridge above the spikes that you see above you so you can walk
over them. Next climb the ladder but jump off and hit the box. Make
another bridge over the spikes above the other ones where the bad guys
are. Now you have to run like **** up the ladder and over the bridge
before it vanishes. If you did then all you have to do is climb the
ladder, do the handstand jump to the key, grab it and throw it to the
door, then go to the door and use the key and you did it!
Level 7)Climb the first ladder you see up to the platform. Now go over
and do the handstand jump to the platform with the switch. Push it to
make some more platforms. Now wait till that pushy guy goes over one of
the platforms then pull it so he falls down. Now go left and climb down
the ladder. Jump over him when he comes at you then duck and let him
push you to the right. But make sure you jump over the hole so he
doesn't push you and the fish get you. Push the switch and hit the
vertical box. Make a ladder to the platform above then climb up to the
platform with the key. Grab the key and go left to the door and your on
your way to Donkey Kong.
Level 8-BOSS)Where is Donkey Kong! Oh, he is all the way up there. You
can either do that handstand to stop the barrels early or wait till they
come down and go all the way up and hit him. Again 3 times will kill
him and then you'll be on your way to the happy Jungle. Where you'll
spend 3 days and 3 nights at the lovely hotel overlooking the palm
trees:) Oh..um....Anyway you'll go to the jungle and try to kill Donkey
Kong.
---------------
E-Jungle
---------------
I'm not even going to mention the sequences anymore unless they are
important. Now your in the jungle. Again the normal bad guys with the
baby alligators, flying birds, etc. But this time you'll use those
black blocks I mentioned before and some new spring blocks. Have
fun(that's what the game is for) This is just like the forest section
only harder. I guess they started running out of names or something
like that. Anyways good luck with this section. It has 3 Donkey Kong
fights but overall this section is pretty normal.
Level 1)Climb up the vines all the way and watch out for the bird.
Continue left and try to hit any alligators with the nut but keep going
if it takes too long. Go on the platform and grab the key. Go left to
the next platform and hit the spring box. Land it on the spikes a
little to the right. Fall doesn and hit it to jump to the door and out
of this level you go.
Level 2)More of those happy speed spitting plants. The level is simple
enough. Just hand onto one of the vines and then keep going after the
seed passes. Then hang onto another. The key to this is patiance. If
you try to jump over a seed or anything like that you might die so do it
my way. Just grab the key and go to the door and your done.
Level 3)It's a monkey level. I think these guys are the coolest things.
Go up the vine and transfer over to the monkey tail. He'll carry you
over to the right. Jump off and onto the spring. Use the spring to
jump over to the left. Again transfer over to the monkey tails till you
get to the key. Grab the key and jump down to the door.(watch out for
the crab that has an extended claw)
Level 4-BOSS)Wow, a boss already, that was fast. These levels were
pretty easy huh:) This time you deal with Donkey Kong Jr. which has an
annoying little dance that he does and plays around with some switches.
Just wait for Donkey Kong Jr. to pull the switch then go on the platform
to go to the top. Then wait again for him to pull it and cross over to
Donkey Kong to beat this level(watch out for the springs he throws)
PREVIEW OF NEXT LEVELS-Oh great, now Mario can be even more smaller.
Well all I can tell you is to watch out for them. Some barrels make a
mushroom when they explode so watch out for that too. Now on to the
next part of the jungle. Piece of cake, right? We'll see:)
Level 5)Bats and crabs, not a fun level. Climb up the first set of
vines all the way to the top. Go to the left then go down the vines.
Then go left. Then up more. Try to kill the bats and the crabs with
the nuts so it makes it easier. Then grab the key and make your way
down back to the door. If this wasn't hard wait till you get to the
next level. That is really complicated looking. Good luck:)
Level 6)Go left and start climbing the ladders. Look at that, more
black blocks. Climb the ladder then keep jumping your way across to the
key. When you get it you should be able to walk along most of it back
to the left. Hit the black block and make it halfway between the two
platforms so you can jump up to the next one. Hit the next one and
complete the bridge. You want to try to get all or most of the bad guys
to the far right platform. Then throw the key up and climb the ladder.
Cross to the next platform and throw the key up again. Climb up the
vines and grab the key again. Cross to the right and go in the door.
Not so hard anymore is it:)
Level 7)Donkey Kong Jr. is at work again.(and I'm sure it is to stop
you) More of my favorite flower guys are here too. Try not to jump at
all and if you do then you should do a handstand jump to pass the flower
quickly. When you get to the next platform wait for the extended
bridges to come then jump and go down the ladder. Now you can go up the
ladder. Do so after the flower guys sit down. Go up the left ladder
and get the hammer. Now you can take revenge on all those flowers that
have tried to kill you:) Go right and jump then go over the flower to
go up the ladder. Carefully make your way to the left when the bridges
are up and grab the key. Then carefully go right to the door and it's
on to Donkey Kong(again)
Level 8-BOSS)I wonder if he will grab Pauline and run away after this
level again, only one way to find out. Here is the first mushroom level
you'll deal with so be careful. Go left and climb the vines. Then drop
off to the platform. Climb up the next vine and wait for the alligator
to go below the nut then drop it on him. Again, watch out for the
mushrooms. Then go to the left and onto the platform that Pauline is
on. Way to go:)
PREVIEW OF NEXT LEVELS-Last part of the Jungle section so you'll have to
kill Donkey Kong with the barrels again. This deals with those cool
monkeys again but isn't that hard. I don't think this entire section is
that hard actually. But if you need a challenge wait for the Tower
section:)
Level 9)Go right and climb the ladder to the platform. Jump to the vine
and keep switching the monkey tails till you get to the left side.
Climb up the 3 ladders to a platform with a switch on it. Push it to
release all of those neat monkeys. Stay on one of the tails to get a
ride to the right side of the stage. Jump off and go down to the next
switch. Push it to raise the door that kept you from the key AND makes
another bridge. When one of the monkeys gets on the bridge pull the
switch so he falls. Now you can cross those spikes without trouble.
Make your way back to the key platform, grab it, and your on your way
outta here:)
Level 10)Vines, spikes, and alligators, oh my! Climb the first two
vines then jump to the next. Repeat this till you get to the other
side. The frog can't hurt you if you touch him so don't worry. Grab
the key and jump on the frog. Then jump on the next platform when the
frog jumps. Then say "thankyou" to the nice frog for helpin' you out:)
Jump your way to the left with the key. Throw the key over to the right
then get over there via the vines. Make your way to the right again by
jumping along the platforms. Throw the key AGAIN and go left with the
key to the door to exit this zig-zag level.
Level 11)Here are those fun mushrooms again. Go left and climb the
ladder. Jump over to the next conveyer and wait for the ladder to
extend so you can climb it. Then climb the next ladder when it extends.
If you get hit by a mushroom just wait to turn normal again so you can
climb the ladder. Climb up to the door platform. Oh look, it is Donkey
Kong Jr. that is throwing all of those great mushrooms. Well he and
Donkey Kong both have it coming:) Go right to nab the key and make it
back to the door so you can face the last level of this section.
Level 12-BOSS)This one will be a little harder. First of all you can
fall down and die so thats a problem. Then there is the problem that
mushrooms will periodically come down and try to get you. Like always
just hit him 3 times with the barrels and he is a goner. There really
isn't much else to say here except good luck:) See ya at the next
section.
---------------
F-Desert
---------------
This sequence does help because you will have to knock out walls in
these pyramid stages but be quick because these hammers run out fast.
If you do run out don't worry because they come from boxes like the
springs so you can get another one:) Good luck.
Level 1)Ok, this is one of those demo levels again so just play along.
Get the hammer and smash your way through to the other side. Throw the
hammer up and climb the ladder. Then smash your way through the other
wall. Throw it up again and climb the ladder to this next platform.
Smash through and you'll get another hammer so you don't run out of
time. Now throw this one up and climb the ladder and smash through both
walls. Grab the key and go left. You'll slowly sink down to where the
door is and your done.
Level 2)Climb the ladder to the left and jump over to the right
platforms. Climb up again and get the hammer. Kill the mummies and go
left to break through the floor. Make your way down, break through the
wall, kill the skull, and break through the other wall. Grab the key
and your home free to the door.
Level 3)Look complicated? Well it isn't that comlicated. First, climb
up the set of ladders to the top. Go right and climb the ladder to the
hammer box. Go passed it and climb down the ladders. Go left to the
vertical box. Make a ladder connection to the first platform. Now hit
the horizontal box and make a bridge under the 2nd ladder. Now climb
the ladder, push the switch, and climb up the 2nd ladder. Grab the key
and ride the lift down. Go right and you beat that level, see, pretty
easy.
Level 4-BOSS)Remember the first time you saw Donkey Kong and he did that
stomp thing, well he is doing it again. So when he is about to just
jump so you don't get stunned. Now jump up to the first platform and
climb the ladders when they extend. Now climb the next ladder and go to
the left. That was the easiest boss level I ever faced.
PREVIEW OF NEXT LEVELS-The usual annoyances for the next levels.
Nothing more to be typed.
Level 5)The sheep are back! They just flew in from the Big-City and are
now at an exotic vacation. Well anyways, climb the ladder up to the
sheep. Just jump over them and down to where the key is. Get the key
and jump on the spring to the moving platform. Throw the key on the
conveyer then jump on the left platform. Jump back up and climb down
the ladder. Jump when you start then pick up the key before it
vanishes. If you did that all you have to do now is go to the door.
Level 6)Hear that sound? Oh no! It's Donkey Kong Jr. so there must be
trouble. Climb the ladders and get the hammer. Kill any of the flowers
on the way if you want but make sure you knock out the wall at the
bottom right. Now climb the ladder up to the platform. Watch out for
the fire ball guys and get the hammer. Kill them then push the switch
above. Go down, get the key and make your way to the door.
Level 7)First jump up the blocks and start climbing down the ladder.
Watch out for the cannon balls on your way. Get the hammer and knock
out the wall on the left and right. Now go left and hit the black box.
Make a square that you can use to get up the pyramid again. Grab the
key, go back down, and go right to the door.
Level 8-BOSS)This is a much harder version of the first level. Just
climb the ladders and avoid the barrels. I would get the hammer to help
you out. I know there isn't much that I can type that will help so Good
Luck!:)
PREVIEW OF NEXT LEVELS-Well this is the last part of the Desert section.
Again you'll have to hurt Donkey Kong so good luck as always. There
isn't really anything new in this entire section so there really isn't
much to type here:)
Sorry but this is where I'm stopping the walkthrough for awhile because
I'm kept busy with my Darkstone and Legacy of Kain:Soul Reaver FAQs so
this will be updated when I get bored and play the game more. If your
stuck a certain level in the game that is after this please e-mail me at
Mordruk@hotmail.com and I'll send you a strategy:)
