Hey everyone, I just wanted to share something that I figured out. If you enter the King Louie fight with no boomerangs and no pea shooter shots left, King Louie will take an insane amount of damage from the Double Bananas.

• No Pea Shooter shots: 17 Hits
• No Pea Shooter Shots & Boomerangs: 11 Hits

I've started to change to the boomerangs at the start of Collapsing Ruins and throwing a boomerang on every jump that I make until I run out. Then I switch to the pea shooter and continue as normal.

Here's a video to show the differences and how I perform the Collapsing Ruins level:

Is there a reason why Im out of boomerangs and pea shooters but Im not getting increased damage?

If my memory doesn't fail me here, I believe you're not allowed to switch through all the ammunition like getting to the invincibility totem and then back to what you're trying to empty/bananas. So, never go full cycle. But not completely sure on this one. I give it a try tomorrow after work what causes it to not work, but maybe tell us or even show how you're doing it if you are able too. Easier to spot things then. Can always hit me up on Discord or via DM's if you want.

@Bronkel is correct. What I typically try to do is completely use up one of the weapons (let's say the boomerangs first) and it will automatically set the weapon back to the single banana. After that, I would cycle to the pea shooter and completely use it up until it sets the weapon back to the single banana. After this, set it to the double banana and you should be good to go.

Do NOT cycle through all the weapons because once you get to the invincibility totem, it messes up this trick. I'm not entirely sure why it messes it up, but it does.

Edit:

Something I did not share in this video (we've learned a lot about this game since this video was made) is that you can avoid collecting the boomerangs at the end of the climb, on this level. I would recommend watching Bronkel's WR to see what I mean: Skip to 4:24 (right after the monkey and before the elephant checkpoint)

We're basically just trying to land on the platform with the boomerang pickup, as far to the right as possible, so we can avoid collecting it. If you happen to collect the boomerang, you can still get rid of them in time for the King Louie fight.

I hope this helps!

Thanks guys! Was confused as to why I'd get it sometimes and not the other. Just started learning the run so appreciate the quick feedback.
