A Puzzle Piece
First appearance Donkey Kong Country Returns (2010)
Latest appearance Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (Nintendo Switch) (2018)

Puzzle Pieces appear in Donkey Kong Country Returns, Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D, and Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (and its Nintendo Switch port) as items with a shiny curved orange appearance. There are either five, seven, or nine hidden in every level, except for boss fights. Most Puzzle Pieces directly appear in hidden parts of a level itself, but a few are obtained if the Kongs collect every item within a bonus room before the time runs out. On the results screen, after the player completes a level, the gathered Puzzle Pieces individually make up an image. The entire picture is revealed when the Kongs obtain every Puzzle Piece. From the world map, an icon of a Puzzle Piece also appears on a selected level if the Kongs have collected every one in the level itself. When the Kongs obtain every Puzzle Piece in a level, the player unlocks a new photo in the Image Gallery.
