Donkey Kong 64 DS/Crystal Caves

This article contains a list of all Golden Bananas that can be found in Crystal Caves in Donkey Kong 64 DS, a St. Clair Publications-produced enhanced remake of DK64, and possibly the most radically changed, as it was graphically enhanced to look more icy than it did in the original.
In order to enter this level, you must already have 78 Golden Bananas, 13 more than what the original game required. The boss is Army Dillo, whom DK battles in this game upon collecting 360 regular bananas, 10 more than the original.
Notable for being the only level in this game with no animal friend. Also, due to the Super Duper Simian Slam being unlocked here, a level earlier than the original game, the Kong switches are red here.
==Krusha==
===#1: You Triggered My Klaptrap Kard!===
Next to Candy's, play your trumpet on a Trumpet Pad. Inside, kill all the purple Klaptraps.
===#2: Ice Wall LOL===
Near the beginning of the level, have Chunky Primate Punch down an ice wall. Inside, use the Krusha Pad to melt the ice sculpture blocking this Banana.
===#3: Screwed in the Igloo===
First, get Diddy Kong, in his Jetbarrel, to fly through a DK Star over an igloo to generate musical instrument pads for every Kong. Play your trumpet on your pad to enter your room. Inside, use Twisted Twister to cross the spiky floor and get this Banana.
===#4: Sliver in the River===
Power up with a Krusha Barrel and look for a hole in the river. This Banana is in there.
===#5: Kasplat's Ice Kave===
A black-haired Kasplat also exists in the cave where you got Banana #2.
==DK==
===#1: Ice Bramble Blast===
Play your bongos at the igloo to be let in. This Banana is at the center of a maze with a moving spiked wall. Hit the wall and you lose a whole melon of HP.
===#2: Zinger Hive Bee Gone===
At the cabin next to Candy's, look for a Bongo Pad and play your instrument on it to be let in. Grab the provided Homing Missiles and shoot down all the Zingers inside.
===#3: Memory Match===
Continuing from the previous Banana, there's another cabin for DK to enter. This one contains a "memory match" game in which DK must also Simian Slam switches to rotate the house. Beat it in 60 seconds.
===#4: Cannonballer===
In front of Cranky's, there's a DK Pad. Blast off with it, then complete Busy Barrel Barrage (target is 60 seconds with five Kritters at once) at the end of the Barrel Blast course to win.
===#5: Kasplatted by a Squidbagger===
A blonde Kasplat can be found behind the ice castle near Funky's, guarding some of Chunky's stuff.
==Diddy==
===#1: Barrel Blankout===
At the igloo, play your instrument on the Guitar Pad. Inside, pick up and throw the barrels in the exact order indicated by the numbered pads they're on, within 60 seconds. Fail this challenge and Kroc will only give you 1 second to darts get out, after which he hits you with an instant kill shot!
===#2: The Cake is a Lie===
At the giant cabin next to Candy's, play your instrument on the Guitar Pad at the upper level. Inside, beat down the Koshas to get a Diddy Pad, then Simian Spring up to a Diddy Barrel. You'll now notice that Diddy is surrounded by giant candles. Pass over them to light them up. Light up all three for this Banana as well as a Banana Fairy.
===#3: Taking the Fall===
Next to the cabin, a Bonus Barrel can be found inside a waterfall. Jetbarrel to that and win Mad Maze Maul (7 enemies, Kritters and Kasplats) for this Banana.
===#4: The Star of the Show===
High above the DK Star you had to fly through to make the igloo accessible, there's this Banana.
===#5: When Tiny Sees Red, Diddy Makes it Dead===
First, Tiny must get her third Banana. Getting that Banana will generate a Bananaport Pad that Diddy must use to get this red-haired Kasplat.
==Lanky==
===#1: All That Effort to Hide a Lanky Pad...===
The igloo again. Beat down two Gnawties, then two Kritters to spawn a Lanky Pad, then inflate with it and climb the "cactus" up to this Banana.
===#2: Koshas' Kabin===
The cabin again. Lanky doesn't have a room there; instead, he must go to a separate cabin near another waterfall and play a Trombone Pad there. Inside, while avoiding two Koshas, Lanky must inflate his way up to a Lanky Barrel, then step on a switch and grab the resulting Banana within 3 seconds.
===#3: It's the Hardly Great Ice Pumpkin, Charlie Brown===
In front of an ice castle near Funky's, slam a Lanky Switch to enter the apparent "throne room" of an ice pumpkin, who wants to play a game with you. The game involves a 4×4 grid; when you Simian Slam a square, a "DK" icon is revealed, but when he slams one, a K. Rool head pops up. After 60 seconds, have more DK icons showing than K. Rool icons to win this banana.
===#4: That Damn Beetle Strikes Again===
There's another Lanky Switch at the ice castle, that opens the turret on top. In 30 seconds, balloon your way up there...and promptly regret it. The Scarab Beetle wants a rematch with you, which is half-sliding, half-footrace. Power up with the Lanky Barrel, beat her, and get 50 DK Coins to put her away for good!
===#5: Red vs. Blue===
A blue-haired Kasplat can be found on a lone island near Funky's, but Diddy Kong must go up there first and turn on a Bananaport Pad.
==Tiny==
===#1: Expand Gong===
The igloo again. This time, a giant Kosha, who will respawn in just 15 seconds, guards a target. Simian Slam the target, then in 30 seconds, slam the now-moving target two more times. It shrinks each time. Fail and Kroc will get you after just 10 seconds. Getting the Banana unlocks a Banana Fairy.
===#2: Hotel Kongifornia===
The cabin again. This WAS one of Diddy's Bananas in the original, but now it's Tiny's; the Banana that was Tiny's was given to Krusha. You have 50 seconds to kill the four Klobbers in the middle of the room, as well as two Klumps and two Kritters in the corners, all on elevated platforms. Fail and Kroc gets you after 10 seconds again. Remember that in this game, Klobbers can now be attacked to make throwable barrels, making this challenge easier (and creating the only instance all game of Tiny throwing barrels, which went completely unused in the original!)! The lack of Diddy Barrel might be a letdown, though.
===#3: Cranky's Cache===
Near Cranky's, look for a small hole, and shrink down with the Tiny Barrel. Inside the hole, beat Krazy Kong Klamor (5 Bananas, lights flicker fast). Getting this Banana also generates a Bananaport so that Diddy can get his stuff.
===#4: Funky's...uh, Fache?===
Near Funky's, look for another hole, and shrink down again. Go in that hole and Monkeyport. You'll wind up next to this Banana in an otherwise blocked-off igloo near the big one. Before Monkeyporting, make sure you activate the Bananaport, as Chunky Kong has some stuff in here.
===#5: Checking Out of Kasplat's Kabin===
Next to the cabin holding DK's third Banana is a purple-haired Kasplat, who seems to be guarding the big lodge. Beat him down and scoop up his blueprint.
==Chunky==
===#1: Rock and Roll===
This should be the very first Banana you ever get in this level. Behind the ice castle, pick up a boulder and place it on the Boulder Switch. This unlocks a bigger boulder in a hidden room near Cranky's. Primate Punch down the ice wall blocking the entrance to this room, power up with the Chunky Barrel, and place that boulder on the bigger Boulder Switch. This destroys an igloo near the big igloo, which not only gives Chunky this Banana, but also allows Tiny to get rid of the giant Kosha that's been raining down icicles on you all level.
===#2: Elmer Fudd's Revenge?===
The igloo again. Chunky has to deal with the Rabbit, who seems to be tied up to a TNT Barrel. Defend him from walking flames for 60 seconds to get this Banana.
===#3: Metal Gear Chunky===
The cabin again. You're in a dark room with moving spotlights. Pass under one of them and Kroc insta-kills you after just 1 second. Simian Slam the targets to make a Chunky Pad appear, then go invisible (rendering you immune to the searchlights) and win the ironically-placed Searchlight Seek (6 Klaptraps).
===#4: Funky's Other Fache===
The same area that held the Monkeyport for Tiny's fourth Banana also holds a Chunky Pad. Go invisible with it, and this Banana spawns right in front of you.
===#5: The Igloo's Reward===
The igloo again. A green-haired Kasplat is on top of it. Beat him down and claim his lunch money, as well as his blueprint.
