....Are you asking for a recommendation or something though?

Yeah, I guess so.

Anyway, I did fight that boss in the Galleon stage, and it was pretty easy. You play as Lanky in an inner tube, and you basically just have to circle around the boss, and go through some targets in a limited amount of time. I also beat the boss for the next stage(I'm starting to feel restless with the game again already). It was really just a rehash of the first Diddy Kong boss, except that there's a part at the end where you become giant Chunky and have to hit the boss as quickly as possible.

I thought that would have gotten me further than I had gotten when I played FO's copy of the game. But no, I had made it to the next stage (the Castle), I had only forgotten about it (I probably hadn't gotten very far into it).


I finally found Chunky's last banana (it was one where you have to become giant Chunky and climb a tree) from the first stage, meaning the first stage is now completely cleared out. I had been working on clearing out all the stages. However, at this point, they're becoming annoyingly large and obnoxious to explore. For one thing, you have to switch back and forth between the Kongs way too often. And in the last stage (which is technically called something like Fungi Forest, but I think of it as day/night stage), you [i]also[/i] have to switch back and forth between day and night, so it feels like you have to explore all the little parts of the stage 10 times to cover all the variations. For the last stage, I pretty much just rushed to get the minimum number of bananas I needed to fight the boss.

I did do a few other things, however. For one thing, I got one of Chunky's golden bananas by completing a mine cart course with over 50 coins. I had to do it about 5 times before I was successful. It's mostly an issue of memorization: There are several times when you're ambushed and lose a few coins; it also helps to know in advance a few cases where you can pull a lever and switch to a more coin-rich part of the track.
