Canopy Cannons

In Canopy Cannons, you'll be shooting from barrel to barrel for most of the level. Time your shots carefully, as a single mistake will send you straight back to the last checkpoint.

Points of interest[edit]

  • If a barrel doesn't shoot you somewhere automatically, use the Jump button to shoot yourself from a barrel. Some barrels will not move and are always safe, but for moving barrels, you'll have to make sure that your barrel lines up with the next one.
  • At the very end, you will have to shoot yourself through a series of five barrels while giant statues fall on top of you. Quickly shoot yourself out of the first three barrels, but wait until the fourth and fifth are facing right before you shoot. After hopping on some flower platforms, jump into a barrel, then launch yourself to the next barrel while the statue's mouth is open. Shoot through all the barrels inside the statue to reach the end.

K-O-N-G letters[edit]

  • K: Near the beginning, line your barrel up with the K block and shoot through to the next barrel.
  • O: Immediately after puzzle piece #1, jump into the barrel and fire when the barrel is facing up.
  • N: After the checkpoint, you'll soon come across the N block rotating around a barrel. You need to collect the letter on your path to the next barrel, so shoot yourself when the timing is right.
  • G: This letter is suspended above a moving barrel. Wait until the barrel passes, then shoot yourself up to grab it.

Puzzle pieces[edit]

  1. After shooting from a few barrels, you'll find yourself on a normal platform. Pound the yellow gourd just before the spike pit for a puzzle piece.
  2. After getting the O block, shoot to the top-right into the next barrel, then shoot straight down to grab a puzzle piece in midair.
  3. Once you're back on the normal platform, head to the right to find a trapdoor. Pound it to enter a bonus area, in which you must collect every banana and banana coin by shooting yourself between two barrels while avoiding the one in the center. Collect everything within the time limit, then shoot yourself into the center barrel to grab the puzzle piece.
  4. The next piece is hidden in a gourd to the right of the trapdoor you entered to get puzzle piece #3.
  5. A few barrels after the N block, you'll come across a lone banana floating near the top of the screen. Instead of shooting yourself to the barrel at the bottom, hit the banana and you'll come across the last piece.
