The Gorilla Ghost then throws both of them into the pit near the snake exhibit. As they try to figure out how to exit the pit, Bones takes out a handful of popcorn kernels. Donkey Kong Jr. takes out the kernels and rubs them in his hands to create frictional heat and pop them. They succeed in exiting the pit, but lose track of the Gorilla Ghost.

Uncle Julius tells the duo that all of the elephants were stolen, and that he might be the Gorilla Ghost's next victim. Donkey Kong Jr. then reassures his uncle, pointing to Bones, now in an ape costume. The Gorilla Ghost then appears, and Bones manages to distract him long enough. However, the tree branch he is standing on collapses, and he falls right on top of Donkey Kong Jr. just before the Gorilla Ghost drags him away. Donkey Kong Jr. tries to unleash "Monkey Muscle!" again, but is easily knocked away. Sensing the peril, Uncle Julius unleashes his own "Monkey Muscle!", knocking out the Gorilla Ghost to find that he is actually a [[human]]. As the Gorilla Ghost continues to chase Bones, Donkey Kong Jr. knocks down all of the [[banana]]s from a nearby tree, quickly eating the bananas and tossing the peels at the Gorilla Ghost, causing him to slip. The trio celebrates their victory, but their celebration is cut short when the suspicious woman from earlier (whose name is revealed to be [[Aurora]]) captures them and takes them to her mine, which is nearby.

Aurora and the Gorilla Ghost are revealed to be the masterminds behind an animal slavery movement to speed up the search for gold in her mine. As Aurora goes to check on the elephants, the Gorilla Ghost mocks Bones for his not-so-superhuman strength. Bones manages to stub the Gorilla Ghost's toe with his boulder, as Donkey Kong Jr. tosses him into a mine cart and pushes him away. The trio breaks out of their chains, and Donkey Kong Jr. manages to break down some boulders for all three of them to hide in.
