Getting Started: How to Access the Bananza Rehearsal
Once you’ve eaten 300 bananas, make your way to the Lagoon Layer at SL 101, where the Kong Elder is located. When you talk to him, he’ll confirm that you’re eligible to start the Bananza Rehearsal. Interact with the microphone to kick things off and begin your journey!
First Challenge: Defeating the Spiky Enemy
For the first part of the challenge, you’ll encounter a spiky enemy. It’s a simple task – just grab one of the bombs lying around, punch it toward the enemy, and watch the explosion do the work! Once that’s done, move on to the next section.
Flying Through the Air: Reaching the Next Area
Next up, hop into the barrel to fly across the level. You’ll need to make your way to the far end where another spiky enemy awaits. Grab a bomb from the enemies nearby, and use the throw mechanic to toss it at the enemy to strip away their armor. Finish them off with a punch and head to the next section!
Discovering Hidden Balloons and Bananas
As you proceed, you’ll notice a balloon hidden at the top right of the area. It’s easy to miss due to the camera angle, so be sure to check it out. Grab a bomb from the enemy, throw it at the one up top to remove their armor, and then punch to defeat them. This will reveal the door leading to your first banana!
Before heading forward, break the nearby balloon statue by punching the pillar. Once you do that, the balloon will fall, so be sure to grab it. Now, collect the banana and continue onward.
Solving the Mini Puzzle
In the next area, you’ll face a quick puzzle. Break through the wall and you’ll find a series of items that need to be moved. The task is simple: hit the objects until they switch positions. Once they’re in place, time your jump carefully to move through.
Once you solve this, your second banana will spawn. Go ahead and pick it up before moving to the next area!
Setting Off Bombs to Create a Chain Reaction
The next puzzle requires you to charge up a punch (hold the Y button) to trigger a chain reaction and set off all the nearby bombs. Once the explosions are triggered, proceed across the area.
As you move forward, you'll encounter snake-like enemies. Use the bombs to bait them over the mines, and then use a charged punch to set off the bombs, defeating them. Do this for all three snakes in the level. Once they’re gone, continue to the next section.
Baiting Snakes and Setting Off Explosions
In this next area, you’ll find six snake enemies positioned along the outer edges. Run around and activate them by luring them toward the bombs. Once they’re all active, charge your attack to unleash a shockwave and let the explosions do the work, taking out the snakes.
Before heading to the door, set off the bombs on the right-hand side to reveal a hidden pathway. Follow it down to find a balloon inside a hidden room. Break the floor to access the area, grab the balloon, and continue your adventure.
Solving the Cloud Puzzle and Defeating Snakes
In the next puzzle, you’ll need to use blocks to interact with the floating clouds. Pick up a block and throw it on top of the cloud to pull it down. From there, use your slap attack to jump up.
You’ll need to trap the snakes by guiding them underneath the floating platforms. Once in position, throw a block on top of them to trap them and then defeat them to open the way to your banana.
The Third Scrapping Ground Challenge
The third scrapping ground is a straightforward challenge. Charge up your attack and use it to knock the jumpy enemies into the ground. Repeat the process for the next set of enemies until they fall into oblivion. Once the area is clear, move through the open door.
A Thorns Challenge and Hidden Balloon
This section has a unique twist: the platforms will turn into thorns. Charge up your punch and wait for the platforms to turn into thorns. As soon as it happens, release your attack to knock enemies off the edge. Continue the process on the opposite side to open the door.
Before leaving, check the right side for a hidden balloon. Punch through the wall, and you’ll have a limited time to grab it before it turns back into thorns. Once you have the balloon, move on to the next banana.
Baiting Enemies and Rolling Through
The next challenge involves baiting enemies into specific areas. You’ll need to use the walls on the left and right to get the enemies into the right position. Once they’re in place, roll across and slam the door on them to defeat them and spawn your banana.
The Fourth Scrapping Ground: Boulder Destruction
The fourth scrapping ground is another simple area. All you need to do is break the boulders and hit the enemies with the armadillo enemies from afar. The process is similar to previous challenges, but this time you’ll face a few enemies that need to be taken out quickly. Repeat the process to continue.
Hidden Balloon and Slow Process
Here’s where things get a little tricky. There’s a hidden balloon inside a pillar on the left side of the area. To get it, you’ll need to take your time and pick up rocks to throw at the pillar. This is a slow and methodical process, but eventually, the pillar will break, and you’ll be able to collect the balloon.
Once you’ve done that, continue on to grab the next banana!
A Unique Bomb Challenge: Punching Rolling Bombs
Moving forward, you'll encounter a fun new challenge. Here, you’ll need to use your X attack (the upward punch) to deflect bombs that roll towards you. When you see a bomb coming, wait for it to get close, then use the punch to send it flying upwards, diverting its force. This trick will allow you to break the bombs and clear the path.
Once you’ve cleared the bombs, continue to the next section and grab your banana.
The Fifth Scrapping Ground: Smacking Enemies with Charged Attacks
The fifth scrapping ground introduces a new mechanic: charged attacks. To defeat enemies here, charge up your punch and aim it at the enemies above. It’s like bowling—just smack the balls up the platform to knock enemies off. The challenge is straightforward but requires precision to clear all enemies from the platform.
Keep charging and smashing until all of the enemies are defeated. Once the area is cleared, you can continue to the barrel and move to the next area.
Rampaging Through the Bull Shooting Challenge
Next up, you'll face another bull shooting challenge. This time, you need to ramp the balls upwards to hit enemies stationed at the top of the platform. You’ll need to carefully aim your shots and try to knock the enemies off the pyramids. It’s a little tricky, but once you get the hang of it, you’ll clear the platform in no time.
Take your time to aim, and once all enemies are defeated, you can collect your banana and break through the next wall to continue on your journey.
The Final Stage: Kong Elder's Throne
As you approach the final stage, you'll find yourself facing a series of enemies lined up in front of you. Charge up your attack, and then release it to punch straight down the middle, clearing a path to the Kong Elder. Once you’ve opened the pathway, jump down and start smacking all the remaining enemies to clear the area.
Before heading to the Kong Elder, make sure to look to the right. There, you'll find the fifth and final balloon. Take the time to break it and collect your prize.
The Final Banana: Wrapping It Up
With all the balloons collected, you can now proceed to the final part of the level. Head to the Kong Elder’s location and collect your three final bananas. Completing the Bananza Rehearsal will reward you with a music disc and a sense of accomplishment!
