Snow barrel blast secrets
In the Snow barrel blast region of gorilla glacier, after you see the Rambi token, jump into the barrel to the right. From that barrel, shoot your way right again. This time, shoot your way down to a secret barrel that will take you to the end of the level.
Kool Way To Gain Lives
You must be more than half way done to do this trick!!! Go to "Gorilla Glacier" at the top of the island. From there go to the second level,(Slipslide Ride). At the beganing of the level go forward a little until you see "the blue crocodile". Stay in- front of him while he jumps up the hill. Bounce on top of him and grab the "blue rope". You will then be transfered up. Jump off and go to the left. There you will see a barrel. Pick it up and through it against the way right by you. Go inside and play the "mini-game". Every time you win you get a "gold ostrich". Collect up to three as you would with any other "gold animal" in the game. Once you collect 3 "gold ostriches" you get a "bonus game". THE MORE BANANAS YOU COLLECT, THE MORE LIVES YOU GET!---Repeat this as much as you want.
Another level warp
In Kongo Jungle the first area of the game goto the second level which is Ropey Rampage, in this level you can find a level warp barrel. The location of this barrel is off the edge of cliff on the other side of the first rope which you would usually climb. Theres a armadillo underneath the rope and a TNT barrel behind you if you havn't thrown it yet. What you do is jump over the edge of the cliff onto the first flower you see.
Example: -----|--- *
The - is ground, | is rope, and * is the flower.
A Little Help On Picture Collecting
In the game you can collect pictures of certain enemies and allies. There are up to 19 pictures in all. One way that you can collect more pictures without looking in each level is by going to each one of "Funky's Fishing" and "Candy's Dance Studio!". Successfully complete every one of these in each area by getting a HIGH SCORE and they will give you a picture for each one you have competed. They will also give you some lives and bananas.
Easy Lives
To get easy lives beat the firstlevel. Once you have done that go back to that level and only go as far as the Expresso coin get that and press start and then select and repeat the process as many times as you want(the more times the more lives.
Another easy way is to use Rambi after you get the G go off the tree to the left when you go into the dich go to your right and run into the wall it will bring you to a "Stop The Barrell" bonus get the coin you want by memorizing the order, Expresso, Rambi, Enguarde, Winky. after you get out of that bonus go to your left and you will be in that same ditch keep going into the bonus and keep getting the same coins. Expressos bonus is the easiest.
Behold...Level Warp #1
Go to "Jungle Hijinxs!" which is the very first level. After you "pop" out of your house, go on the floor. Go to where the first "DK" barrel is. Jump on two the first "dirt hill". Wait near the edge until that little beaver goes past the "red flower". Bounce off of him and make sure you fly above the "DK" barrel. A LEVEL WARP should pop-up right next to that tree.
