Kongo Bongo Banana Glow!

In the short time they had been on the island, the Kremlings had managed to construct an industrialized civilization near the top of the mountain. Kremkrok Industries Inc. was an area filled with cold steel, burning oil drums, and a poisoned lake.

The first area was a preview of what was to come. The Kongs had to jump across several burning drums. Fortunately, the flames would occasionally subside, and the hot metal made the gorillas panic and became a fall hazard, especially when on the large rhino.

Walking became optional as a moving platform carried the Kongs across the empty vast. Of course, that tram also brought them to danger from above. Several safe scaffolding paths were guarded by the obese crocks, who could easily push Diddy backwards.

Next up was another mine that likely was the reason for these factories. At various points were coal elevators that could squish the Kongs or take them straight to the realm of Hun Batz.

Being amphibious and immune to poison has its perks. The pond that lay before them was cloudy, but it wasn't the worst thing in it. That reward would be the spike wheels that would cycle and rotate in narrow quarters. They really made the radioactive fish seem normal.

The circus was in this next mine, and the Kongs had to leap from one minecart to another to advance. Amazing leaps of faith over vultures and bees. Grand theft auto was advised for the fellow mining crocodiles.

The lights flickered next, and another team member was killed by them, giving him a seizure. Either that or the explosion in the hidden room that led to another hidden room did him in. We didn't care for that guy anyway and never got his name.

Dumb Drum was dumb. The sentient oil drum would drop Kremlings onto the Kongs, but they were the usual riff-raff. It died when it emptied itself...?


Chimp Caverns appeared to be home to another lost monkey tribe. Now, though, it was an industrialized home to the Kremlings.

First up was more moving platforms. But these ones taught the Kongs about gasoline. The glory of petrol has been brought to Kongo Bongo Island!

The acrobatic antics of previous levels made jumping over the spike wheels a breeze. Truly, the Kremlings taught their opponents too much!

The clouded mines were filled with not-oil drums. Instead, they were a source of infinite armadillos and baby crocodiles.

The Kongs were well adjusted to flickering lights by now, so they skipped ahead.

The falling platforms meant nothing. It's almost as though they wanted the Kongs to get passed...

Necky Sr. spit more nuts but was just as useless as his dead son.


By now, the Kongs saw their final destination make land. Gang-plank Galleon, home to the pirate king, King K Rool, was all that remained of the stolen banana horde. Rool was alone, but he was far from outgunned! His precious crown appeared to be his primary weapon, but that was a red hearing. The true power was his gross, diseased, bloated, vile, disgusting body and its massive weight. Rool would often charge at the Kongs, and the surviving Kremlings on the ship would shoot cannon balls from atop the ship as well. But, after three rounds, the Kongs finally broke the skull of their adversary.

Or so they thought...

With one more act of rage, King K. Rool got up and began to jump at our primate protagonists. But his second wind didn't last long enough... With three more skull stomps, Donkey finally regained his lost bananas.

And then Cranky indicated he was missing a lot. After a long look over, Donkey realized he was missing twenty one percent of his prize. The two Kongs then recounted their steps! With the aid of the pilot, Funky, they returned to areas that seemed to be less than fully explored! With enough sniffing around, they succeeded. They kicked Rool off the island one more time to cement their claim. But that may have been a mistake. Only Diddy Kong returned to the island, and he sought the comfort of his girlfriend...

But that's for a different team. Emily and I are the only members of the team who haven't died, but I learned how to speak Gorilla, so am I even still human? We're retiring!
