  • Bosses and Troff 'n' Scoff. Each boss door opens after you feed Scoff enough coloured bananas through Troff 'n' Scoff.
  • Hideout Helm and the final fight. Hideout Helm asks every Kong to clear timed barrel challenges to shut down the Blast-o-Matic.
FIELD NOTE

Bring the Kong who matches each boss's door colour: the game chooses which Kong fights based on the boss.
