Template:DK64World Crystal Caves is the sixth world in Donkey Kong 64. As the name suggests, it is a cave made of ice. An icy wind blows forcefully through the catacombs of DK Island. The caves inside the highlands of the isles are encrusted with rimes of ice, as well as jagged ore deposits. A giant Kosha lurks in the highest part of the cave, raining stalactites down on the unsuspecting Kongs. The area has all the Kong shops in it. The area's boss is a rematch with Army Dillo, the boss from Jungle Japes, and requires 350 regular Bananas to give to Scoff and allow Troff to unlock the door to the boss.
Entering Crystal Caves requires 65 Golden Bananas. After Chunky beats Dogadon for a second time and takes the key K. Lumsy, his jumping up and down will cause vibrations which explode a rock out of the ear of DK Isles. It is then reached with Tiny's Ponytail Whirl or with Diddy's jetpack.
