Ostrich Elder Rehearsal Hall Banana Locations

Banandium Gem #1

The first Banandium Gem is located in the center stage near the base of the tower-like structure. Simply fly towards the area and break the Banandium Gem to collect it.

Banandium Gem #2

The second Banandium Gem is located at the end of the Sizzle-Wing Circus area, which requires you to fly through an obstacle course full of rings of fire.

Note: There are spots in this area where you can tear off a chunk of frozen ground to put out the fire.

Banandium Gem #3

The third Banandium Gem is located at the end of the Sizzle-Wing Circus Sideshow, which is accessed through a barrel past the end of the Sizzle-Wing Circus area.

The obstacle course will require you to carefully fly through rings of fire and laser grids to reach the Banandium Gem at the end.

Banandium Gem #4

The fourth Banandium Gem is located at the end of the Bouncy-Bounce Park area, which requires you to bounce over enemies and glide over electric terrain.

Banandium Gem #5

The fifth Banandium Gem is located at the end of the Bouncy-Bounce Park Sideshow, which is accessed through a barrel past the end of the Bouncy-Bounce Park area.

The Banandium Gem is on a floating platform that you can reach by bouncing off the terrain, taking care to avoid the Peekaboopoids that are hiding in disguise.

Banandium Gem #6

The sixth Banandium Gem is located in a floating cage near the Tower of Turbulence. Destroy the concrete block covering the fan and grab a chunk of ground, and then throw it at the platform covering the bottom of the cage.

Next, stand on the platform, then do a hand slap to pull it back up the cage where you can collect the Banandium Gem.

Banandium Gem #7

The seventh Banandium Gem is located on a floating platform with a large lava pool in the center.

You'll need to grab a chunk of the ground and throw it at one of the mines in the lava, which will dig through the terrain to create a passage to an underground layer where you can get the Banandium Gem.

Banandium Gem #8

The eighth Banandium Gem is hidden under one of the platforms to the right of the center stage.

You'll need to break the pink platforms to create parallel blue platforms that will help you reach the hidden Banandium Gem.

Banandium Gem #9

The last Banandium Gem is located at the end of the Tower of Turbulence area, which requires you to reach the end where the Ostrich Elder is located.

Balloon #1

A balloon can be found floating near three large columns, which are located beside three floating turbine platforms that you can use to glide towards the balloon.

Balloon #2

This balloon can be found just above a ring platform coated with lava. You can use a barrel to launch yourself towards the ring platform and claim the balloon above it.

Balloon #3

You can find this balloon can be found clinging above an enemy, which can be found after destroying the black surface on a floating platform. Beat the enemy to claim the balloon.

Balloon #4

This balloon can be found inside a cage atop one of the crawling enemies roaming the floating electrified platforms. Reach above the enemy and use egg bombs to defeat it.

Balloon #5

You can find this balloon floating on the flight path you'll take to reach the Ostrich Elder's Throne Room. Just be sure to avoid the obstacles along the way while you're gliding.

For the Balloon with the lava ring, you can throw the snow you're standing on to cool it. Throw a large chunk in the barrel to hit the very top, and throw the rest on one side to cool it. That way, you can climb the ring.
