Terrain Types Explained
Terrain Types Affect How You Interact with Them
There are different types of terrain that you can interact with depending on their terrain property. Some affect how chunks behave when you use it to Swing, Thrown, Chunk Jump, and Turf Surf.
Terraform Using Soft Terrain
For example, terrain types that have Soft property can be used to stick to Sturdy and Extra Sturdy terrain types to terraform the area. Use this to create bridges and platforms to make platforming easier.
Layers Have Terrain Strength
Each layer has a Terrain Strength that you can check on the map screen. More stars mean that the terrain takes a longer time for DK to destroy.
Upgrade DK's Skills to Destroy Terrains Faster
Use Skill Points that you obtain from Banandium Gems to upgrade DK's Punch Power. This skill reduces the number of punches you need to destroy the terrain.
