| | '''Hideout Helm''' is the eighth and final world in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''. The hideout is unlocked after players have returned the [[Boss Key]]s from [[Crystal Caves]] and [[Creepy Castle]] to [[K. Lumsy]]'s prison, but at least 100 [[Golden Banana]]s are required to actually enter. |
| '''Hideout Helm''' is the eighth and final level of ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''. It is the [[Kremling Krew]]'s battle station located inside the head of [[Crocodile Isle]]. Hideout Helm is the control room of the Crocodile Isle and the location of the [[Blast-o-Matic]]. The Kongs must decommission the Blast-o-Matic before it fully charges, which [[King K. Rool]] plots to blast at [[Donkey Kong Island|Kong Isle]]. The Kongs have a limited amount of time to meet this objective, which is shown from a timer. It counts down from ten minutes by default, but [[Snide]] can delay it by a minute for each [[Blueprint]] he has received. There are forty Blueprints in total, meaning that the highest possible countdown is 50 minutes. The timer does not take pauses, even when selecting a Kong from a [[Tag Barrel]] or on the "Try Again" screen shown when losing a Bonus Barrel challenge. If the timer runs out, the player gets a [[Game Over]], and the associated cutscene plays. | |
|
| |
|
| The Hideout Helm lobby is accessible after the [[Kong]]s unlock Padlocks 6 and 7 on [[K. Lumsy]]'s cage (meaning the player must collect the Boss Keys in [[Crystal Caves]] and [[Creepy Castle]]). After K. Lumsy's celebration, the mouth of Crocodile Isle is knocked open, and is where the Kongs can enter the lobby. The mouth can be reached by climbing up the ship, or if [[Tiny Kong]] uses her [[Monkeyport]] ability from a [[Cranky's Kong Pad|Tiny Pad]]. To enter the level itself, the Kongs must have a minimum of 100 [[Golden Banana]]s. | | The goal is to shut down [[K. Rool]]'s [[Blast-o-Matic]] before it destroys [[Donkey Kong Island]]. The amount of time players have to complete the stage depends on how many [[blueprint]]s [[Snide]] receives from the [[Kong]]s; the player is given ten minutes automatically, plus one minute for each blueprint retrieved, for a total of up to 50 minutes. |
|
| |
|
| Hideout Helm has few key items unlike the other levels. It only features five [[Banana Medal]]s and a [[Battle Crown]], the former of which replaces the [[Golden Banana]]s. The [[Kong]] family shops and [[Snide's H.Q.]] are not featured. There is only one pair of [[Bananaporter]]s, the first pad being at the entrance and the other being in the control room.
| | If the player fails to complete the stage before time is up, Donkey Kong Island is blown up by the Blast-o-Matic, causing a [[Game Over]]. After completing the several Kong-based challenges, the timer ends with the Blast-o-Matic turned off. The player then needs to have collected four [[Battle Arena Crown]]s and have finished [[Cranky Kong|Cranky's]] ''[[Jetpac]]'', and [[Frantic Factory]]'s ''[[Donkey Kong (game)|Donkey Kong]]'' arcade [[minigame]]s in order to reach the room with the final K. Lumsy key. |
|
| |
|
| Hideout Helm has a throne room where King K. Rool is located. It has a door depicting both the [[Nintendo Coin]] and [[Rareware Coin]], which are both needed to open it. The final [[Boss Key]] and two [[Banana Fairy|Banana Fairies]] are located behind the door. It is possible to capture them without accessing the door, by using the [[Banana Fairy's Camera]] from the outer glass window. | | Hideout Helm does not have any of the collectibles found in the game's other worlds (such as Golden Bananas) except for five [[Banana Medal]]s (which are obtained by completing each Kong-specific Bonus level) and a Battle Arena Crown. The [[Kong Family]] shops and [[Snide's H.Q.]] are also absent. |
| ==Enemies==
| |
| *[[Kritter]]
| |
| *[[Klaptrap]]
| |
| *[[Klump]]
| |
| *[[Kasplat]] (Battle Arena only)
| |
| *[[Kosha]] (Bonus Level only)
| |
| *[[Mechanical Zinger]] (Bonus Level only)
| |
| | |
| ==Layout==
| |
| First, [[Lanky Kong]] must use his [[OrangStand]] technique to get up two slopes. A Kritter and Klaptrap come before the first one while a Klump precedes the second slope. Lanky then ends up in a circular, symmetrical room with another Klump and a [[Target Switch|Pineapple Switch]]. He must jump into a nearby [[Tag Barrel]] and have [[Chunky Kong|Chunky]] shoot the switch. Doing so moves down a stone wall and reveals another pathway. Here, the Kongs must jump between five vines over the lava.
| |
| | |
| Another circular, symmetrical room appears afterward. [[Tiny Kong]] is required in this part, as there is a nearby [[Cranky's Kong Barrel|Tiny Barrel]] that Tiny must enter to use her [[Mini-Monkey]] ability to travel through a small pipe that leads to the room with the Blast-o-Matic. This Tiny Barrel somehow grants Tiny indefinite [[Crystal Coconut]] energy. A gate door automatically opens for Tiny just before she exits the pipe.
| |
| | |
| Tiny must jump into a Tag Barrel to swap out for [[Donkey Kong]]. He must walk behind the Blast-o-Matic and then use [[Gorilla Grab]] to pull a switch. This causes five DK stars to surround the Blast-o-Matic's second floor, and a Diddy Barrel also appears next to the Tag Barrel. There is a 60 second time limit for [[Diddy Kong]] to utilize [[Rocketbarrel Boost]] and fly through the stars. Doing so successfully opens five doors (which have a roman numeral on them, either 1-5) each leading to a room with a power generator for the Blast-o-Matic.
| |
| | |
| Each room has a differently colored generator powering a power stream of the Blast-o-Matic with the same color, and must be deactivated by a Kong of the associated color. The generators are protected by a force field, which take away a quarter melon of the Kongs' health if touched. Every room (aside from Diddy's, which can only be reached with his Rocketbarrel Boost) is blocked off by a flimsy gate that can only be removed from Chunky's [[Primate Punch]].
| |
| | |
| Every room has a glass door that prevents the Kongs from entering, and each one can be opened by a [[Music Pad]]. These pads only appear individually, as the next one appears after a Kong has completed their two challenges. The challenges are done in the order of Donkey Kong, Chunky, Tiny, Lanky, and lastly Diddy. Each generator room either features one or two enemies. Donkey Kong's room features a Kritter, both Chunky's and Lanky's have a Klaptrap and Kritter, Tiny's has a single Klump, and Diddy's has two Klaptraps. After every power stream is deactivated, the Blast-o-Matic shuts off, the timer stops, and the door depicting K. Rool's head opens up.
| |
| | |
| The active Kong must go down the newly-accessible hallway leading to the control room, which has the steering wheel, some computer screens, and the second Bananaport Pad. A single Klaptrap is at the left side, near the steering wheel, while a Kritter is on the right side. There is also a door depicting the Battle Crown and the number 4 on it, indicating a minimum requirement of four Battle Crowns to enter. This leads to the throne room. Just as the door opens, a cutscene shows K. Rool retreating into his [[Kremling craft|aircraft]]. The last objective is for the Kongs to obtain the Boss Key behind the Nintendo/Rareware Coin Door.

| ==Bonus Barrels== | | ==Bonus Barrels== |
| Unlike previous words, the [[Bonus Area#Donkey Kong 64|Bonus Stage]]s take place inside a steel drum with K. Rool's head. Each Kong must complete two challenges, which then deactivates their corresponding color of the Blast-o-Matic. Each Kong wins a [[Banana Medal]] for completing both challenges.
| | ===Donkey Kong's=== |
| ===Donkey Kong=== | | *'''Left Barrel''': Jump into the [[Barrel Cannon]] and shoot Donkey Kong into three of the four targets. |
| *'''Left Barrel''': Jump into the [[Barrel Cannon]] and shoot Donkey Kong into three of the four targets in under 30 seconds. | | *'''Right Barrel''': As [[Rambi]], defeat 18 [[Kritter]]s while avoiding the electrical pylons. |
| *'''Right Barrel''': [[Rambi]] must defeat 18 [[Kritter]]s while avoiding the electrical pylons in under 30 seconds. | |
|
| |
|
| ===Chunky Kong=== | | ===Chunky Kong's=== |
| *'''Left Barrel''': In a twenty second time limit, Chunky (as [[Hunky Chunky]]) must break open ? crates with his [[Primate Punch]] until he finds a lone Kritter, whom he must defeat. | | *'''Left Barrel''': As Hunky Chunky, break open the large crates with the Primape Punch until finding a lone Kritter, then defeat him. |
| *'''Right Barrel''': From the podium, Chunky has fire at five Kritters in 30 seconds. The challenge is easier with homing missiles, because the Kritters tend to move around. | | *'''Right Barrel''': From the podium, use the sniper scope and shoot the five Kritters at the far end of the room. This challenge is easier with homing ammo since the Kritters are somewhat fast and tend to change direction suddenly. |
|
| |
|
| ===Tiny Kong=== | | ===Tiny Kong's=== |
| *'''Left Barrel''': Tiny has to Ponytail Twirl through three DK stars. She is on top of metal boxes and cannot touch the ground, otherwise she loses. The third star is at an extreme angle. After she touches the stars, Tiny has to [[Simian Slam]] a switch. | | *'''Left Barrel''': Fly through all three DK stars using the Ponytail Twirl without touching the floor and step on the grey switch at the end. |
| *'''Right Barrel''': Similar to the left barrel, Tiny must bounce off mushrooms and Ponytail Twirl through three DK stars. She also does not lose from touching the ground. | | *'''Right Barrel''': Bounce off the mushrooms and Ponytail Twirl through all three DK stars. |
|
| |
|
| ===Lanky Kong=== | | ===Lanky Kong's=== |
| *'''Left Barrel''': Within 25 seconds, he must use [[OrangSprint]] to quickly navigate through a maze, hit a switch, and cross the finish line. Lanky must also avoid some Klumps and Koshas. | | *'''Left Barrel''': Using the Orang-Sprint, step on the switch hidden in the maze, then cross the finish line. Avoid the enemies as they'll slow Lanky down. |
| *'''Right Barrel''': Lanky must shoot down three [[Mechanical Zinger]]s, who get defeated from three hits each. The homing ammo makes the challenge easier because the enemies move around fast. | | *'''Right Barrel''': Shoot down three [[Mechanical Zinger]]s; each one requires three hits to defeat. This challenge is easier with homing ammo since the Zingers move fast. |
|
| |
|
| ===Diddy Kong=== | | ===Diddy Kong's=== |
| *'''Left Barrel''': There are a lot of Kritters in the room. Within 30 seconds, Diddy has to defeat the Kritter who activated the switch, and then press it. A sound effect plays if he defeats the right Kritter. | | *'''Left Barrel''': Defeat the Kritters until defeating the one that actives the switch in the center of the room (a chime can be hear when doing so), then press the switch. |
| *'''Right Barrel''': Within 45 seconds, Diddy must use [[Rocketbarrel Boost]] to go up and fire at four up-arrow switches. Then he must go down, avoid Koshas, and [[Simian Slam]] on the blue switch. | | *'''Right Barrel''': Using the [[Rocketbarrel Boost]], shoot each of the four switches along the walls to lift the cage blocking the switch, then press the swtich. There are also four Koshas in the room, but they have nothing to do with the objective. |
