'''Puzzle Pieces''' are [[List of items|items | '''Puzzle Pieces''' are [[List of items|items] in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' (as well as [[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D|its Nintendo 3DS port]] and [[Donkey Kong Country Returns HD|its Nintendo Switch port]]) and ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'' (as well as [[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (Nintendo Switch)|its Nintendo Switch port]]) Each one is orange and curved, and they have a shiny texture. There are either five, seven, or nine Puzzle Pieces hidden in every [[level]], except for boss fights. They can be hidden in a number of ways: some are in secret portions of level geometry, others are in [[Item container]]s or objects the player can [[Blow]] on, still others appear if the player collects certain groups of [[banana]]s and/or [[Banana Coin]]s, and some are clearly visible but require the player to move in specific ways to reach them. Completed [[bonus room]]s reward the player with a Puzzle Piece. Puzzle Pieces do not appear in Time Attack mode. On the results screen for a level, the gathered Puzzle Pieces automatically come together to form an image. The entire picture is revealed when the Kongs obtain every Puzzle Piece, and unlike [[KONG Letters]] the player can achieve this across multiple attempts at a level. Puzzle Pieces that have been collected on past playthroughs appear to be faded. If [[Squawks]] is equipped, he calls out when the player is near an uncollected Puzzle Piece. | ||
Once complete, the picture the Puzzle Pieces created swaps to a representative icon of a Puzzle Piece. In ''Donkey Kong Country Returns'' and its ports, this is a silver Puzzle Piece on a green background. In the original ''Donkey Kong Country Returns'', the second state of the picture replaced the first state, but in the ports of the game the completed picture flips over to reveal the silver design. In ''Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze'' it is instead a black Puzzle Piece with a yellow outline on a green background. After this occurs, the player unlocks a new photo in each game's Image Gallery ([[List of extras in Donkey Kong Country Returns#Image gallery|Returns]]) ([[List of extras in Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze#Images|Tropical Freeze]]). On the [[world]] map, the icon of the representative design appears on levels that the player collected every Puzzle Piece in. | Once complete, the picture the Puzzle Pieces created swaps to a representative icon of a Puzzle Piece.
