Banandium Gem #1
To get to the first Banandium Gem, you'll need to defeat the spiked-concrete Crockoid sitting on top of the concrete platform.
Defeat a Boomrock-wielding Crockoid and grab the Boomrock it drops, and use it to destroy the spiked-concrete Crockoid. Defeating it unlocks the next area where you'll obtain the first Banandium Gem (Past the First Scrappin' Ground).
Banandium Gem #2
Punch the blue button so that the moving platforms where the Crockoids are standing on are pushed all the way to the opposite side.
Next, quickly jump on the explosive pad and Dive Punch once the platforms are all aligned at the middle to destroy all of them at the same time. This unlocks the second Banandium Gem (Lure and Destroy) that you can collect.
Banandium Gem #3
To clear this area, you'll need to bait the centipede enemies so that they're hovering over the bombs. We recommend running counter-clockwise throughout the stage.
As soon as the first centipede emerges, punch one of the bombs to start a chain reaction which will cause them explode and destroy the centipedes' bodies as they emerge. Destroying all centipedes unlocks the next area where you'll obtain the third Banandium Gem (Past the Second Scrappin' Ground).
Banandium Gem #4
The fourth Banandium Gem is located in the Second-Scrappin' Detour accessed from the left wall where you obtained the third Banandium Gem. Make your way up to the last platform where you'll encounter two centipede enemies.
To defeat them, you'll need to tear off a chunk of the ground and throw it at the floating platform to bring it down on the centipede's body. You can also defeat them by using a ground slap on the platform when the centipede is on the platform, which will cause it to shoot up and break its body.
Defeating both centipedes unlocks the fourth Banandium Gem (Lift and Destroy).
Banandium Gem #5
The fifth Banandium Gem requires you to destroy two hopping concrete enemies by causing them to fall off the platform. The platforms in the area alternate between concrete and spiky vines that will damage you.
Once the platform turns into concrete, bait the enemy into hopping on you then move away so that they gradually destroy the platform they are standing on. Destroying both enemies unlocks the next area where you can get the fifth Banandium Gem (Past the Third Scrappin' Ground).
Banandium Gem #6
The sixth Banandium Gem is located in the Third-Scrappin' Detour accessed from the left wall where you obtained the fifth Banandium Gem.
This area has two hopping enemies that you'll need to bait into the middle area so that the walls will slam down on them. Destroying both enemies unlocks the sixth Banandium Gem (Wallop and Destroy) for you to collect.
Banandium Gem #7
The seventh Banandium Gem requires you to defeat the two circular enemies in the right area behind the yellow wall.
You'll need to use your Charge Punch to destroy their outer shells to reveal the gold enemy inside. Defeating both enemies unlocks the next area where you can get the seventh Banandium Gem (Past the Fourth Scrappin' Ground).
How to Unlock and Use Kong Bananza Form
Banandium Gem #8
The eighth Banandium Gem is located in the Fourth-Scrappin' Detour accessed from the left wall where you obtained the seventh Banandium Gem.
To destroy the two enemies in this area, stand under the enemy and punch up using the X Button just as the rolling bomb enemies approach you. Destroying both enemies unlocks the eight Banandium Gem (Launch and Destroy).
Banandium Gem #9
The ninth Banandium Gem is located in the Fifth-Scrappin' Detour accessed from the left wall just before the final area.
This puzzle requires you to carefully line up and punch a steel ball so that shoots up and destroys the concrete platform that the enemies are standing on. Destroying all three enemies unlocks the ninth Banandium Gem (Bounce and Destroy).
Banandium Gem #10
The tenth Banandium Gem requires you to charge punch a large steel ball into a group of enemies. Simply position yourself in front of the steel ball and perform a charge punch.
The steel ball isn't enough to completely destroy the enemies, and you'll need to defeat their gold skeletal forms afterwards.
Destroying all enemies in this area unlocks a barrel to the next area where you can get the tenth Banandium Gem (Past the Fifth Scrappin' Ground).
Kong Elder's Rehearsal Hall Balloon Locations
Balloon #1
This balloon can be found on top of a stone column in the First Scrappin' Gound, with the balloon being held by an enemy. Destroy the stone column, and reach for the balloon once the enemy descends from the column.
Balloon #2
You can find a balloon at the Second Scappin' Ground, just underneath the lava in the area. Once the lava has been removed, check for a concrete panel on the ground and smash it to reach the area underneath. From there, reach for the balloon.
Balloon #3
A balloon can be found inside a stone wall on the Third Scrappin' Ground. The wall changes from stone to spiked vegetation routinely, so make sure you first turn the wall into stone that you can smash it and claim the balloon.
Balloon #4
This balloon can be found on the Fourth Scrappin' Ground, just inside one of the spiked columns in the area. Use Hand Slap to know which spiked column has the balloon and smash it to access the balloon.
Balloon #5
A balloon can be found just underneath a stone wall in the Kong Elder's Throne. The balloon can be found near the third column on the right of the area, which you can access easily by hurtling the giant metal ball towards the enemies occupying the area.
