Freezer Layer Walkthrough
Freezer Sublayer 500
| Step-by-Step Guide | |
|---|---|
| 1 |  Collect the Banandium Gem near the starting point. |
| 2 |  Pick up the large brown rock rooted on the ground, then use it to Turf Surf down the path. Afterwards, talk to the Zebra wearing a green shirt at the bottom of the path. |
| 3 |  Pick up the large metal platform next to the Zebra, and use it continue turf surfing down the path. |
| 4 |  Stop in front of the small ice bridge. You will not be able to cross it unless you have the Zebra Bananza Form. Instead, go up the side and talk to the Zebra at the top. |
| 5 |  Go underneath the bridge and follow the path that leads to a cave. Make sure to either Turf Surf, Chunk Jump, or roll in midair to cross the gaps, since jumping alone isn't enough to avoid the ice water. |
| 6 |  Head deeper into the cave until you reach a wall of lava guarded by a round enemy. Defeat it and punch its core towards the lava wall to clear a path for you to climb. Once on top of the wall, follow the path to the outside and use the Barrel Cannon to get to the Snowy Crossroads. |
| 7 |  Talk to the Zebra near the bridge to the Cooling Tower. They will tell you to talk to the elder at Coolstripe Cavern. |
| 8 |  Turn around, and you'll notice an area covered in Voided Terrain. Follow the Void trail until you reach a yellow ice cream hut. Punch you way in and destroy the Terravoider inside. |
| 9 |  Dive Punch on the pressure plate to open a path to Coolstripe Cavern. |
| 10 |  Traverse to the end of the cavern. Throw chunks at large icicles on the ceiling to bring it down and create bridges. |
| 11 |  Upon reaching the Coolstripe Cavern Exit checkpoint, drop down and defeat the enemies in the pit. Punch their cores toward the lava to create a path for you to climb. |
| 12 | Destroy the Void Stake on top and drop down to the next sublayer. |
Freezer Sublayer 501
| Step-by-Step Guide | |
|---|---|
| 1 |  Upon landing, talk to the nearby Zebra. He will point you towards your next destination, the Canter Creamery. |
| 2 |  To cross the lava lake, you will need to bait the icicles into falling in front of you. This will immediately transform it into walkable terrain. |
| 3 |  Use the ice block to grab ice chunks and throw it into the lava to create a pathway ahead. |
| 4 |  Use your Hand Slap to raise a tall dirt tower. Using that vantage point, throw a chunk at the icicle to your left. After the icicle falls, you can use it to get ice chunks and throw it at the lava wall. |
| 5 |  After reaching Canter Creamery, approach the Zebra Elder. He will task you with finding three Ancient Record Pieces in exchange for a new bananza form. |
| 6 |  Talk to the Zebra to your immediate right. He will tell you that the first Ancient Record Piece is across a lava pool near the Cooling Tower. |
| 7 |  To cross the lava pool, you will need to activate the ice machine. Head up the path to your left and pull the chain at the top. You can use the surrounding snow to cool the lava blocking your way. |
| 8 |  After turning on the machine, dig a path for the ice cubes to get to the lava. If you get stuck, you can reset the terrain by pressing + on the map screen. Resetting the terrain will return you to your last save point, so make sure to save nearby before resetting. ▶︎ How to Reset Terrain |
| 9 | Once you're able to walk over, pick up the Ancient Record piece and return it to the Zebra Elder's feet. |
| 10 |  Talk to the Zebra across the first Zebra NPC. He will tell you that the another Ancient Record Piece is located in the fans. |
| 11 |  Climb up the terrain and activate the platform to reach the first fan, which is covered in void. After destroying the Terravoider, the fan will begin to move. |
| 12 |  Time your jump to grab onto the mesh of the next fan. Make your way to the end of the moving fans until you reach another fan covered in Void. |
| 13 |  Climb up this Voided fan to find the Terravoider above. Destroy it, then get the Ancient Record piece. With this in hand, jump down the platform to get it back to the Zebra Elder. |
| 14 |  Go up the dirt and chocolate sprinkle path to the right of the Zebra Elder. Talk to the third Zebra for the last location of the Ancient Record Piece. He will point you to the lava area straight ahead. |
| 15 | Just like before, bait the icicles into falling to create a pathway. For larger icicles, throw a chunk to make them fall down. |
| 16 |  Be careful of enemies along the way. Either roll to dodge out of the way or defeat them by down punching on top of their backs. |
| 17 |  At the last section, throw chunks at the two icicles above to make them fall. We do not recommend fighting the lava enemy, since it will respawn some time after you defeat it. |
| 18 |  Jump onto the voided terrain and destroy the Terravoider at the end. |
| 19 |  Tear off a chunk of the ice block below your feet, and Turf Surf on it to get to the Ancient Record piece. You can then use this to Turf Surf all the way back to the Zebra Elder. |
| 20 |  After completing the Ancient Record, you will unlock the Zebra Bananza transformation! ▶︎ How to Use Zebra Bananza Form |
| 21 |  Talk to the nearby Zebra NPC and he will point you to a Barrel Cannon that you can use to launch yourself back to the Freezer Layer Surface. |
Freezer Sublayer 500 Part 2
| Step-by-Step Guide | |
|---|---|
| 1 | After taking the barrel cannon, you will find yourself back at the Cooling Tower Entry. |
| 2 |  Use the Zebra Bananza Form to go up the crumbling ice path and talk to the Zebra in front of the tower door. |
| 3 |  Go around and take the ice path behind the structure to get to the Cooling Tower Top Floor. |
| 4 |  Clear up the snow ahead then Down Punch on the ice center. Be warned that this will trigger a boss fight. |
| 5 |  Defeat Poppy Kong. Use the snow to locate Poppy's location while she is invisible, then stun her using the Zebra Bananza transformation. This will knock her out of her invisibility and you will be able to inflict damage. ▶︎ How to Beat Poppy Kong |
| 6 |  Talk to Poppy to obtain the Void Key then jump down to the Cooling Tower Interior. |
| 7 |  Talk to the Zebra by the pull lever. |
| 8 |  Pull the chain to dispense a pile of ice cubes. |
| 9 |  Dig down below the ice cubes and guide them to the molten lava below. |
| 10 |  Once the lava has cooled off, dig down the middle of the pit. |
| 11 |  Destroy the Void Stake and jump down the newly made hole to proceed to the next sublayer. |
Freezer Sublayer 502
| Step-by-Step Guide | |
|---|---|
| 1 |  Talk to the Zebra to the right. |
| 2 |  Climb up the white pillar and pull the chain lever at the top to activate the ice machine. |
| 3 |  Go towards the ice path beside the Getaway. Use the Zebra Bananza to get to the ice machine at the top. |
| 4 |  Break the wall of the ice machine to drop ice cubes into the lava. This will create a path to the heat source. |
| 5 |  Head down towards the heat source. Punch through any tall walls that block the way of the ice cubes, and dodge enemies rolling your way until you reach the compressor. |
| 6 |  Jump down the hole on top of the compressor. Be warned that this will trigger a boss fight. |
| 7 |  Defeat Inflammonite. Dodge out of the way of its rolls, and bait it into hitting the walls until snow falls on top of it. Break its outer shell, then chase after its core using Zebra Bananza. ▶︎ How to Beat Inflammonite |
| 8 |  Destroy the Void Stake once Inflammonite is defeated. |
| 9 | Jump down the sinkhole to proceed to the next layer. ▶︎ The Junction Walkthrough |
Freezer Layer Boss
Poppy Kong
You will encounter Poppy Kong when you enter the inside of the Cooling Tower. Poppy can turn invisible, so use the surrounding snow to locate her. It is best to use the Zebra Bananza form in order to stun Poppy, allowing you to see her.
Inflammonite
The Inflammonite is the boss guarding the Freezer layer's sinkhole. When it is in ball form, it is impossible to hit Inflammonite without getting hurt. Instead, bait it into hitting the walls so that snow can fall on top of it.
You are going to need the Zebra Bananza to defeat the Inflammonite, since it will try to create ice paths to escape when it is vulnerable.
