Spiked-Tide Slope is an obstacle course found in Donkey Kong Bananza, situated in the game’s second major area, Hilltop Layer. You can access this stage by heading to the base of the banana-shaped mountain, which is just across from Fractone Village.
In this level, Donkey Kong and Pauline must run up a hill filled with various threats. Like other challenge courses in Donkey Kong Bananza, there are three hidden Banandium Gems to discover throughout the stage. Collecting these gems will earn you valuable stat points to unlock new skills and abilities.
Locating the First Banandium Gem
The first Banandium Gem is positioned at the top of the first slope. Be cautious of spiked rolling balls that can cause damage. To protect yourself for a short time, press R1 on the glowing floor spots to lift them.
Tip: The spiked balls roll in a regular pattern. If you observe closely, you can time your movements to reach the first Banandium Gem more easily.
Finding the Second Banandium Gem
The second Banandium Gem is located at the very end of the course, serving as a reward for completing the stage. To get it, all you need to do is survive the challenges on Spiked-Tide Slope and make it to the top.
Discovering the Third Banandium Gem
You can find the third Banandium Gem beneath the platform that holds the second collectible and a barrel which can launch you back to the overworld. To access this gem, jump off the left or right side of the last bridge you encounter to land in a hidden area. Here, you’ll find two Boom Bombs. Aim one at the ceiling’s concrete and the other at the concrete containing the spiked balls.
After using the Boom Bombs, turn around from where you found them and climb the pillar to reach a part of the ceiling you can climb on. Follow this path until you can drop down and collect your reward.
Warning: The Boom Bombs do not respawn. If you miss, you will have to restart the stage to try again.
Completing Spiked-Tide Slope
Your first challenge is a small incline with a stream of spiked balls rolling down. You can either activate R1 on the glowing sections of the floor for protection or learn the spiked balls’ movement pattern to avoid them on your way up.
Upon reaching the top, you’ll encounter a longer path filled with even more spiked balls. Thankfully, you can find Boom Bombs on the ground to alter their trajectory. Aim to blow up an area on the edge of the map so that the balls roll off and clear part of the path for your journey.
You will encounter another area with more Boom Bombs, which you can use to create a fresh path for the spiked balls. After managing this section, simply cross the bridge to finish the course.
