Bonus Coins, DK Coins and Krematoa
Separate the coin rewards and solve Koin's defended treasure.
Original 1996 SNES release. Pacifica, the revised soundtrack, extra Banana Birds and other additions of the 2005 Game Boy Advance version are outside these guides. Original Wrinkly Save Cave and vehicle progression apply.
Defeat Koin from the exposed side
Koin guards a level's DK Coin behind a shield. The steel barrel usually needs to bounce off a surface and hit his unprotected back while he faces the Kong. Inspect the nearby wall or platform and arrange your position before throwing. A direct frontal hit is normally blocked. Many Koin puzzles ask you to manage the direction of both the Kong and the returning barrel.

Bonus rooms award a Bonus Coin when you satisfy their stated challenge, which may involve collecting stars, destroying enemies or grabbing green bananas under a timer. Read the instruction before entering the action. The original SNES game has eighty-five Bonus Coins, and Boomer spends them to open the five Krematoa levels. Ordinary Bear Coins are a separate currency used for local services and exchanges.
Open the lost world and finish its route
With the Hover Craft, circle clockwise around the four rocks near the southern islands to raise Krematoa. Visit Boomer to unlock its stages as your Bonus Coin collection grows. The first four stage openings cost fifteen coins each, and the final one costs twenty-five. Those levels supply cogs that Boomer needs for the later submarine route. Keep a checklist of missed bonus rooms rather than mixing their count with DK Coins.
A blocked steel barrel means Koin is protecting that side; arrange the bounce behind him.
