Donkey Kong 64 DS/Creepy Castle

This article contains a list of all Golden Bananas that can be found in Creepy Castle in Donkey Kong 64 DS, a St. Clair Publications-produced enhanced remake of DK64.
In order to enter this level, you must already have 96 Golden Bananas, 16 more than what the original game required. The boss is King Kut Out, whom, theoretically, all Kongs can battle in this game, starting with Krusha, upon collecting 480 regular bananas, 80 more than the original.
Because this is easily one of the most complex levels ever created in a 3D video game, to the point where the Bananaport system had to actually be overhauled from the original version, a few definitions are in order:
*The tunnel whose entrances are guarded by wooden cages with holes in them shall be called "Candy's Area", because Candy Kong can be found there. 
*Similarly, the catacomb area below that, guarded by Diddy's Kasplat and with two rooms that each have three shooter switches on them, shall be called "Funky's Area", because Funky Kong is there.
==Krusha==
===#1: Where the Puzzle is the Real Torture in the Chamber===
In Candy's Area, there's a sub-area guarded by a bat, that looks like a torture chamber. Krusha has a Banana in here, accessible by a Krusha Switch. This is similar to one of Chunky's Bananas from Fungi Forest: take the scrambled 3×3 grid and slam all the blocks on it until Krusha's face shows. Watch out for the Dry Kritter, who will only stay out for 15 seconds when you kill him.
===#2: A Grave Mistake===
In Funky's Area, go to the crypt on the left and shoot down a Krusha Switch to get in. Turn left, then left again, then shoot down another Krusha Switch to gain access to a room with numbered switches on them. Use Twisted Twister to hit the switches in order, and the Banana is yours. You will, however, have to intentionally hit a wrong switch in order to get some black bananas, though.
===#3: Greenhouse Gas===
Near the top of the castle, you should find a greenhouse. Slam the Krusha Switch to get inside. You will now have 60 seconds to reach the Banana. Grab it to spawn a Battle Arena Pad. Fail, and Kroc will try to shoot you after 10 seconds!
===#4: Candy's Candy===
Power up with a Krusha Barrel next to the upper exit of Candy's Area, and jump in the pool. A Bonus Barrel is in there somewhere, containing Mad Maze Maul (target is 10 enemies in 125 seconds; almost all Kasplats except for a Kritter and a Zinger).
===#5: In Which Red and Purple Make Black===
First, get Diddy Kong to open up the Ballroom, then put on a Tiny Mask and go inside. Use the Monkeyport to go to the Frantic Factory model in the Museum, then Monkeyport again to the infamous shrine. A black-haired Kasplat is there.
==DK==
===#1: Trees aren't Terrific===
First, blast off with the DK Pad in front of a dead tree and complete the Barrel Blast course. It ends in a DK Star, but is unique in that you have to blast through five rings before that DK Star becomes available. The tree is now open. Inside, shoot a Coconut Switch, drop into a hole with water at the bottom, and swim to a sewer-like area with a Poliwhirl-like target along a back wall. Shoot that target (getting the Sniper Scope from Funky Kong in this level might help) to raise the water level. Shoot two more targets to raise the water high enough for you to get this Banana.
===#2: Mega Minecart Madness===
In Funky's Area, go to the left crypt and shoot a Coconut Switch. Inside, turn left, turn right, and shoot down another Coconut Switch. Inside the new room, Gorilla Grab the three of six levers indicated by a circle on the back wall diagrams, and then enter the newly opened door to be thrust into the final minecart challenge.
For this one, you only have to collect 25 DK Coins, with no TNT Barrel Carts, Krashes, or other obstacles to worry about. Instead, this ride has multiple tracks that you have to use left and right on / to jump between. The main enemy is the "Resident Demon", a Kritter head with floating hands who will steal your Coins. Gravestones may also pop up along the ride.
...And this is where those "added references to Rare" mentioned at the opening of the main article appear. For the most part, this game featured copyright censorship to remove references to Rare (such as the Rareware Coin becoming the SP Coin, and the game required to beat it changing to Triple Play). But in this minecart level, whereas the gravestones just said "R.I.P." in the original game, the gravestones in this version of the game now say "Banjo", "Kazooie", "Gruntilda Winkybunion", "Conker the Squirrel", "Joanna Dark", "James Bond", "", "Saberman", "Saber Wulf", and "Jetpac"!
===#3: Read Another Book!!!===
Near the top of the castle, there's a DK Switch for you to press at the back door of the Library. This will open the front door. Within 20 seconds, get there and make it over the cloud platform. Inside, first turn left at the fork in the road and make your way up a slope to be locked in an "arena" with two "ghost" Kritters and two Dry ones. Kill them all to spawn a DK Switch. Push that switch to open up a hallway back at the fork in the road, on the right path.
On the right path, you're bombarded by obvious ripoffs. Use a DK Barrel to power through them and get the Banana. Then shoot down a Coconut Switch to somewhat awkwardly open the exit by making a wall spin halfway.
===#4: Snide's Secret===
Behind Snide's, jump down to a slightly lower platform and play the Bonus Barrel, Stealthy Snoop (80 seconds), to get this Banana.
===#5: Kasplat the Tree Hugger===
A blonde-haired Kasplat is inside the giant tree.
==Diddy==
===#1: Grave Robbing===
With Krusha having taken Diddy's original Banana in Funky's Area, a Peanut Switch was added to the crypt on the right side alongside the Grape and Feather ones. Shoot it down and go inside, then turn left at the first fork in the road, followed by right at the second one. Above a pool of acid, do multiple Simian Springs to reach this Banana.
===#2: I Can Still Hear You Saying You Would Never Break the Chains===
At the torture chamber inside Candy's Area, slam a Diddy Switch to open up a dungeon that introduces you to the main "gimmick" for this level.
The Banana is right there. But when you go to grab it in the most obvious and straightforward way, the platform it's on turns around. This is where the Sniper Scope comes in. When the platform is showing this Banana, use it to shoot a Peanut Switch which will bring down some chains, and swing on them to get this Banana.
===#3: Ballroom Blitz===
Slam a Diddy Switch near the top of the castle to open up the Ballroom. Inside, beat down all the "ghosts" and Dry Kritters to make a Diddy Barrel appear, then pass over the candles to light them up. This spawns a Bonus Barrel. Jetbarrel over to that and play Minecart Mayhem (60 seconds, two TNT Barrel Carts) to win this Banana.
===#4: Head in the Clouds===
Using the Jetbarrel, fly all the way to the top of the castle to find this Bonus Barrel. Win Big Bug Bash (10 flies) to win this one.
===#5: The Monster at the Beginning of This Article===
That red-haired Kasplat guarding Funky's Area. Kill him.
==Lanky==
===#1: Gotta Go Fast===
Funky's Area, right crypt again. Shoot down a Grape Switch inside, then use the Lanky Barrel to run to the newly opened room in 15 seconds. While inside, play your music on the Trombone Pad to make some vines appear over the acid, then use them to get this Banana.
===#2: More Fun with Acid===
The torture chamber in Candy's Area again. Slam a Lanky Switch to open a long hall with an acid pit. Play your trombone on the Trombone Pad to summon several Lanky Pads, and float to the Bonus Barrel. Win Kremling Kosh (25 Kritters) to win this one.
===#3: Dulce de Leche de Candy Kong===
In Candy's Area itself, near the upper entrance, there's a steeply-sloped hall that requires OrangStanding to get through. Do so to get this Banana.
===#4: Venting===
At the top of the castle, slam the Lanky Switch. Inside, beat the "ghost" Kritters to spawn a Lanky Pad, then shoot down the rather high-up Grape Switches to open the vent and release a wind current. All you have to do now is blow yourself up to the Banana. You are actually given this Banana outright in this game, unlike in the original game, where you had to do a Bonus Barrel. This is because the Bonus Barrel contained Beaver Bother.
===#5: Too Easy for This Point in the Game?===
Near the "central" area of this level, the upper exit to Candy's Area, a blue-haired Kasplat guards the drawbridge.
==Tiny==
===#1: Crazy Hands===
Funky's Area, right crypt again. At the first fork in the road, turn right, Ponytail Twirl over an acid hole, then slam the Tiny Switch to make multiple hands rise and fall out of a larger acid pit. Use them to get this Banana.
===#2: Bat Signal===
At the lower entrance to Candy's Area, Ponytail Twirl over a large pit and play Teetering Turtle Trouble (60 seconds).
===#3: Fly Emirates===
Near Cranky's, shrink down with a Tiny Barrel and bounce up on a mushroom to enter a trash can. Inside, a number of flies from Big Bug Bash appear to have made a home. Kill them all.
===#4: Tiny Kong Racing===
First, get Diddy Kong to open up the Ballroom, then enter it. There's a Monkeyport inside; use that to warp into the Museum. You are now in a room with what looks like a model replica of Frantic Factory. Shrink down with a Tiny Barrel and enter it. The slot car from one of your Bananas in that level is back, and wants a rematch in a replica of the Testing Room. Beat him and collect 10 DK Coins while making sure not to miss more than five slalom gates.
===#5: The Monster at the Edge of the World===
Go beyond the entrance to Funky's Area, and you'll eventually find a purple-haired Kasplat very close to where the level entrance is.
==Chunky==
===#1: Ellie's Metals===
As part of Alex's crackdown on Beaver Bother, this Banana changed quite radically. In the giant tree, there's a wood panel for Chunky to Primate Punch down. Do so to encounter a large pool of acid. Use the Sniper Scope to shoot down a Pineapple Switch and reveal a crate with Ellie the Elephant inside. Turn into her and use her suction ability to make a "bridge" over the acid pool with Steel Kegs, which will lead you to this Banana.
===#2: Dancing on Graves===
Funky's Area, left crypt again. Go right at the first fork in the road, then shoot the Pineapple Switch to be met with a big tomb in the middle and four smaller stand-up tombs lining the walls. It's tempting, but don't Simian Slam the big one...you'll just be met with multiple "ghosts" and Dry Kritters. Instead, Primate Punch the wall coffins. One of them has a Bonus Barrel inside; enter that and play Searchlight Seek (8 Klaptraps) to win this Banana.
===#3: Wild Zubat Appeared!===
Near Tiny's trash can and the greenhouse, look for a wooden "garage" of sorts and Primate Punch your way in. The room contains multiple bats, which are invisible unless they're attacking you. Kill them all for this Banana. The intended method is to Primate Punch the ? Crate in the middle and use the Chunky Pad to shoot them down after making them visible, but you can also play your triangle.
===#4: Chunky's Art Exhibit===
Slam a Chunky Switch to open the Museum. Inside the main room, on your left, Primate Punch down three brass shields. This opens up the mouth of a statue and reveals a boulder. Take the boulder and put it down on the plunger in the center of the room to keep the mouth of another statue open so that you can get this Banana.
===#5: Candy's New Boyfriend?===
In Candy's Area, right outside Candy's Music Shop itself, there's a green-haired Kasplat.
