Gloomy Galleon is the fourth stage of the game Donkey Kong 64. It is mainly an underwater stage and argubly one of the largest stages in the game (if not the largest). To get to Gloomy Galleon, one must swim underwater and head into the unlocked gate under K. Rool's Mobile Island Fortress. The most used Kong here is Lanky Kong due to his Enguard the Swordfish transformation that is needed to unlock certain areas. The boss of this stage is Puftoss and is faught by Lanky.

Features

  • Main Cavern: This is the starting area of Gloomy Galleon. It is a rather large area that is mainly grassy. The straight path leads to Cranky's Lab while the two at the intersection either leads to the larger water area or the Lighthouse area.
  • Lagoon: This is argubly the largest area in Gloomy Galleon. Most of the Kongs can earn at least two or three Golden Bananas in this area and Candy's Shop and Funky's Armory can be found here. There is also an area where the seal can be raced with Donkey Kong.
  • Lighthouse Area: This area is located the opposite direction of the lagoon. This is a fairly large area where Snide's HQ can be found in. There is also the lighthouse that only Donkey Kong can enter. Turning on the lighthouse brings a large ship into the area and Diddy Kong can get onto there.
  • Treasure Cove: This area can be found within the lagoon and can be opened using Enguard. This area features many large coins that only Diddy and Lanky Kong can scale up. The water level must be risen in order to climb up to a coin.

Golden Bananas

Donkey Kong

  1. Before starting, Donkey Kong should unlock the way to the lighthouse area while Diddy unlocks the way to the lagoon from the main area. Donkey Kong must head toward the lighthouse and find his Baboon Blast pad. After going through the DK Star at the end, a seal will be freed and will go near an opened gate near Candy's Shop in the lagoon. Donkey Kong should head over there and the seal will give him a Golden Banana.
  2. Now that the seal is free, he'll give Donkey Kong another opportunity at a Golden Banana in a race. Donkey Kong must collect coins and beat the seal in Ship Ahoy in order to earn another Golden Banana.
  3. Near Funky's Armory of the lagoon, Donkey Kong can play is Bongo Blast to open a gate in a ship and has 60 seconds to get there. After entering, Donkey Kong can find a Bonus Barrel inside and complete the mini-game Krazy Kong Klamor to earn a Golden Banana.
  4. For this next one, Lanky must have unlocked the Treasure Cove and Diddy must have gotten a Golden Banana first. In the Treasure Cove area, there is a yellow-haired Kasplat walking around. However, it's too high for Donkey Kong to reach alone so, after completing Diddy's mini-game, Donkey Kong must use Bananaport 4 to reach the Kasplat. Taking it out and taking it's blueprint to Snide will result in a Golden Banana.
  5. Donkey Kong must make his way inside of the lighthouse. Donkey Kong must climb to the top and activate the lighthouse with his Gorllia Grab technique. Afterwards, a ship will appear and a Golden Banana will appear near the exit.
