Mekanos is a dark industrial landscape full of machines, cannons and dangerous fireballs.
After Kremwood Forest, you can play Mekanos and the Cotton Top Cove in any order.
Fire-Ball Frenzy
The little robot owls shoot fireballs in your direction. Wait in tight spots for a shot and pass the spot right after.
Bonus #1: After the star barrel it goes down through several platforms. Then you can reach an elevated platform on the left by partner throw. From there you continue to the left to the bonus barrel.
Bonus #2: Just before the N, a single banana hovers over you. Ship your partner to this place and use the hidden elevator.
DK Coin: After the N follows a lift up. To the right of it you find Koin.
Demolition Drain-Pipe
In the canal you partly race with high speed through the pipes. Do not try to collect every banana – it is more important to avoid obstacles early on.
Bonus #1: Watch for a single banana over a buzz. There is a hidden bonus barrel.
Bonus #2: Shortly after the N follows an opening behind a Koco. Therein lies an invisible bonus barrel.
DK Coin: Koin is waiting at the level end.
Ripsaw Rage
A huge saw follows you from below through the entire tree. Do not dwell unnecessarily long.
Bonus #1: After the O, a buzz blocks the way to a mystery. Use the wooden barrel to turn it off.
Bonus #2: After the N, another buzz blocks access. This time there is a metal barrel nearby.
DK Coin: Below the G is an automatic barrel that takes you to an invincibility barrel and then to the area of Koin.
Blazing Bazukas
Bazukas fire different cask types through the factory. Many of these are not only obstacles, but are needed to move forward.
Bonus #1: A Bazuka has a squitter barrel. Turn into the spider and go back to the area with the TNT barrel. Build up there with nets.
DK Coin: After an automatic barrel, you land further up. Glides immediately to the left to Koin. Nearby, you can use Squitter to switch a barrel color switch to metal barrels.
Bonus #2: Shortly after the N you will meet a Bazuka who shoots normal barrels. Use Dixie and slide from there to the left.
Low-G Labyrinth
Due to low gravity, Dixie, Kiddy and the animal helpers move unusually slowly through the air. Therefore, plan your movements early.
Bonus #1: Shortly before the star barrel, there are three green buzzes under a bonus barrel. With Kiddy you can throw Dixie in the jump up.
Bonus #2: After the N, a particularly fast buzz flies through the aisle. If possible, remove it with a barrel and follow the path behind it.
DK Coin: Later the path is shared. At the sign that forbids the parrots to fly on, you choose the left path.
Boss: Kaos Karnage
KAOS floats with its rocket drive through the arena and uses various mechanical attacks.
Stay on one side during his fire attack. As soon as Fire spreads over the ground, you have to jump.
Later, KAOS pulls out its rotating blades. Use it as a platform and jump on his head from there.
After several hits, the robot is defeated and you get a ski.
Bazooka and the Fat Big Bessie
In Bazooka’s barracks you can later reach another banana bird cave. First you need the bowling ball from the Cotton Top Cove.
Once you have received it, you bring the bullet to Bazooka. He uses them as ammunition for his Cannon and shoots you to the secret Cave Heavenly Hatz.
