Surfing in Shadowis a Challenge Course on theRadiance LayerofDonkey Kong Bananza, and is something of an obstacle course with a twist. To complete it, you’ll need to surf on the corpses of your fallen enemies (it’s cuter than it sounds) by dragging their carcasses over a tangled mess of thorns. Look, it really is cuter than it sounds.
As you might expect, the key here is to surf in the shadows. But that’s not the only thing you need to know, and that will only help you get two of the three Bananadium Gems, so read on to find out every secret in Surfing In Shadow.

The only issue is youmust stay in the shadows. In the light, it turns back into a purple shell, and rapidly erodes. This is why the red enemy is needed for the secret path.
For the second part of the course, it’s the same deal. Lure the enemy into the shadow, grab it, surf, and reach the end. Youcan jump while surfing, so clear the moving obstacle course by leaping over the middle - just remember not to step into the light, my child.
