Poppin' Planks: Difference between revisions

==Overview==

The level begins with a sandy pathway out of the jungle that is covered by a few Snap enemies. As Donkey and Diddy pass two high, wooden platforms, they can find a large peg that can be pounded on to make another peg appear under the platforms. They can use it reach the platforms and collect some bananas. Farther ahead is a [[DK Barrel]] and some small platforms surrounded by spikes. Two wooden planks are above these platforms, the first one with the letter K of the [[K-O-N-G Letters]] on it, and the second with two [[Banana Coin]]s. After this area, the primates can find a treasure chest with an [[Extra Life Balloon]] near a Snap. As the heroes progress more, they come up to some floating [[Banana Bunch]]es and crab enemies. They also approach some pegs that can be pounded into the ground to make another peg appear somewhere else in the area. One of these pegs needs to be pounded to release another from the ground so it can  be used as a platform to jump over a wall with dandelions growing on it. On the other side of the wall is a giant switch; if it is pounded on, a whale surfaces in the background and shoots bananas out of its blowhole. The bananas land in the following area, where there is a wavy bridge that can shoot the Kongs into the air. The bridge can help the heroes reach some hanging platforms at the end of it.  

As the Kongs progress across another sandy beach, they pass some crab enemies, a treasure chest, and a stray cannon. A wooden platform holding a DK Barrel is also in this area. Following the beach area are some ship parts floating atop the wavy water. They can use it as platforms to reach the next area. As they cross the gaps between each platform, they come up to some floating collectibles; however, at the same time, Snaggles jump out at them. The letter N is also located above one of these ship parts. On the other side of the water is another area of land, where the Kongs come up to some dandelions and a Pinchley in front of a crashed ship. Near here is another wavy bridge. This bridge has spikes on it, but they flip over when the bridge creates a large wave that travels across it. The waves can help the primates not only grab many collectibles in the air, but also help them reach another hanging platform. The following hanging platforms just after it move either vertically or horizontally.  

The Kongs must travel along the planks, which are attached by large cranes in the background, to advance to a lower area of these moving platforms. More enemies appear as they move on, including flying Tikis and Snaps. Crates are also placed on some of the platforms. Eventually, the primates jump off of a plank moving in a horizontal path to reach a swinging platform with a Banana Bunch on it. A platform that moves up and down with a Banana Bunch on it is just ahead, but a yellow Snaggle jumps out in front of it. Another platform that moves up and down is right after this with the letter G on it, and it is followed by another swinging platform with a Banana Bunch. As with the first platform, Snaggles jump out of the water between each of these planks. Eventually, the Kongs can reach a floating ship part with some crates on it that can aid the primates in reaching more moving planks; there are three remaining planks after the ship, and each of them move up and down. Snaggles also jump in front of them. After the last platform is the level's [[Slot Machine Barrel]]. If Donkey or Diddy hit the barrel, the level is completed.

==Secrets==

*G: Near the end of the level when the Kongs find a few yellow Snaggles jumping out at them, they can find the letter G on a platform that moves in a vertical path.

===Puzzle Pieces===

#When the Kongs approach the first peg in the level, they can pound on it to make another peg appear near some wooden platforms. They can reach the platforms if they use this new peg. On the end of the second platform, the Puzzle Piece can be found.

#Shortly after the letter K, the primates can find a sunken ship in the background. If they pound on the peg right in front of it, they can make a [[Barrel Cannon]] appear from underground. The barrel shoots them into the sunken ship, where the heroes must defeat two Pinchlies to find the second Puzzle Piece.
