Best path to take for post-game?

Hi all -- I just wrapped up>! the K. Rool fight and credits!<, and proceeded to>! beat the first Elder Kong Rehearsal!<. >!Do you guys recommend beating all the Elders in order, and then getting the rest of post-game bananas? Or did you go from the top-layer to the bottom in order, hitting the Elder's on the way?!<

I know that it probably does not matter what you do, but I am curious what you all did, and if you recommend/prefer a certain way. Thanks!
