The Islands
By now you are powerful enough to get all the central hub bananas at once. Some you may already have found just by exploring, but all are listed below. As with the normal levels, there are also blue prints to gather. You will want to be sure to find them all before heading to the final level.
Donkey Kong
1. This is actually the first banana in the game. You get it after talking with K. Lumsy for the first time.
2.There is a banana on the way up to Frantic Factory. Shoot the coconut switch to get it.
3.In the Frantic Factory lobby, pull the lever to access the upper level where there is a music pad.
4 In the lobby of Crystal Caves, have Chunky break down the ice wall, then use the DK barrel to walk across the lava to the banana.
Diddy Kong
1. Once you have accessed the Diddy barrel in front of Fungi Forest, you can rocket over to the banana on top of the waterfall. To get the barrel have Chunky throw away the boulders near Angry Aztec, then use Lanky on the pad.
2. There is a bonus barrel high up on the top of the mountain that you will need to rocket to.
3. Right next to Snide’s (Snide is found on the island that Frantic Factory is), there is a Diddy pad to access a bonus barrel.
4. As with DK in the Frantic Factory lobby, Diddy has a banana in the Crystal Caves lobby. Use the Diddy barrel to fly as high as you can to find a music pad.
Tiny Kong
1. Tiny’s first banana is on the fairy island where you need to shoot a switch to get it.
2. In the lobby of Gloomy Galleon, Chunky can stomp a switch to open a small passageway for Tiny to enter. That will lead you to the banana.
3. If you hit the two gongs in the Angry Aztec lobby, a bonus barrel will appear that Tiny can glide to.
4. Use the Tiny pad on the island where Frantic Factory is to reach a music pad that will give you a banana.
5. After you photograph all the fairies go back to Fairy Island and see the queen. She open a door with a banana behind it. This enables Tiny to get 6 bananas.
Lanky Kong
1. In the very first level lobby, Jungle Japes, there is a music pad under a boulder that will give you a banana.
2. On the back on K. Lumsy’s island you'll find a banana behind bars.
3. Inside that same island is a Lanky barrel and switch. Use the barrel, then run over the switch.
4. Inside the Creepy Castle lobby, use the Lanky pad to float to the top of the small island for a bonus barrel.
Chunky Kong
1. On the main island, just find banana behind bars and shoot the switch.
2. Near Angry Aztec throw the boulder then use the music pad.
3. After getting Tiny’s banana on the island where Frantic Factory is, a Chunky barrel will appear on the island where you found the fairy earlier. Use that and go to the large "X" platform. Then stomp the "X".
4. Make yourself invisible in the Hideout Helm lobby to reveal the way to a bonus barrel.
