Zebra Bananza: Pop Party Ancient Ruin
Zebra Bananza: Pop Party Ancient Ruin is a challenging course in the Freezer Layer of Donkey Kong Bananza. It is different from most other courses in this game.
Normally, these levels have one hidden Banandium Gem, with two more found in the middle and at the end. In this level, however, all three gems are hidden. But don’t worry, we’ll help you find them!

Where To Find The First Banandium Gem
At the start of Zebra Bananza: Pop Party Ancient Ruin, you’ll land on a sturdy platform. This is the only place you can stand still without falling through.
To find the first Banandium Gem, drop down into the main area. Instead of moving forward, go backward around the column that supports the platform. The first Banandium Gem is hanging from the ceiling. Just jump and punch it until you collect it.
The third Banandium Gem is nearby, so it’s a good idea to collect that next before looking for the second one.
Where To Find The Second Banandium Gem
The second Banandium Gem is a bit trickier because it requires several steps. However, it’s also the easiest to find, as it rewards you for completing the level as intended.
In the main area with rotating platforms, you need to pop five balloons. The platforms are set up as north, south, east, and west around the center, with one balloon on each. There’s also a curved path leading to a higher podium, where you’ll find the last balloon.
You can pop the balloons in any order. Once you pop all five, the Banandium Gem will appear at the entrance.
Where To Find The Third Banandium Gem
At the very start of the level, when you drop down to the crumbling path, there is a barrel directly behind you. This barrel will lift you back to the entrance.
If you stand near the barrel, the floor will break away, and you’ll fall onto a hidden platform below.
On this platform, you’ll discover the third Banandium Gem along with another barrel that will take you back to the entrance.
