| '''Orang-utan Gang''', also spelled '''Orang Utan Gang'''<ref>''Nintendo Magazine System'' (UK) Issue #28, page 58.</ref> or '''Orang-Utan Gang''' in the [[Game Boy Advance]] remake, is the fifteenth level of ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' and the fifth level of [[Vine Valley (world)|Vine Valley]]. In the Game Boy Advance remake, Orang-utan Gang was shifted to the fourth level of Vine Valley, making it the fourteenth level overall. Orang-utan Gang is the last jungle level, and it involves [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] having to walk along the treetops. It is the first level with [[Manky Kong]]s, who stand on the treetops and throw [[barrel]]s at the [[Kong]]s. Shortly before the [[Star Barrel|Continue Barrel]] is an [[animal crate]] containing [[Expresso]]. There are five [[Bonus Level]]s in Orang-utan Gang, more than in any level of the [[Donkey Kong Country (series)|''Donkey Kong Country'' series]]. | | '''Orang-utan Gang''' is the fifteenth level of the classic [[Super Nintendo]] game, ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'', as well as the fourteenth level in its [[Game Boy Advance]] remake. It is also the fifth level of the [[Vine Valley]] area in the original ''Donkey Kong Country'', along with the fourth area of the same world in the Game Boy Advance version (due to [[Temple Tempest]] being pushed to the sixth level of the world). |

| ==Layout==
| | This level takes place in the treetops of a jungle. Throughout the level, [[Donkey Kong|Donkey]] and [[Diddy Kong]] have to run tree-to-tree on lush, green vines and treetops in this dark jungle. Their journey through the jungles leads them to the Kong reject orangutans: [[Manky Kong]]s. These dark orange-colored apes hurl dozens of barrels at the heroes without breaking a sweat, and they can be quite a hazard. Along with these dangerous foes are the members of the [[Kremling]] Krew, [[Klaptrap]]s, [[Kritter]]s, and [[Zinger]]s. Although the level is crawling with vicious enemies, the [[Kong]]s can get backup in the form of an [[Animal Buddy]], known as [[Expresso the Ostrich]]. This buddy can flutter through the air for a short period of time and help the heroes avoid obstacles, or even get them into [[Bonus Level]]s. |

| | ==Level Layout== |
| The Kongs begin the level on a line of treetops. The sets of trees in the level are connected by vines that Kritters bounce along. Behind the start, they can find a Zinger circling a [[Iron Barrel|Steel Barrel]]. They can pick up a [[Iron Barrel|steel keg]] on a tree, circled by a [[Zinger]]. If they pick it up and throw it to the treetop on the left, the Kongs can jump on the rolling steel keg to ride through most of the beginning portion of the level. After another vine, there is a curved trail of bananas nearby that lead to a solid area of land with a [[DK Barrel]] and two [[Klaptrap]]s on it. This area is followed by an abyss with more treetops connected by vines with [[Kritter]]s hopping along them and a Zinger circling the [[KONG Letters|K Letter]] in the middle. More treetops are ahead, and all of them have vines. The Kongs can then find a large piece of land that consists of many ledges that hold a few Klaptraps. A small platform between [[pit]]s holds the letter O. They can also find a crate containing [[Expresso]] on the top of the area, which is followed by treetops with the level's [[Star Barrel|Continue Barrel]].
| | [[Image:DKCI2765.jpg|thumb|left|200px|The beginning of the level.]] |
| | | From the start of the level, the heroes must walk along the vines and treetops over the bright green jungle and defeat a few Kritters. Soon, they will find themselves on a large platform with two Klaptraps. They should beat the enemies and run across the treetops to the right. On the way, they will encounter several foes, including a Zinger, guarding the letter K. Eventually, the Kongs will walk down a few vines to find land again. They should journey farther eastward here and jump up the many ledge of the area to find a crate. Expresso is in the crate, and they can ride on him throughout the rest of the level. After that, the group must head to the right and get back on the treetops, where the [[Star Barrel]] is found. |
| A second DK Barrel is found on another tree following an abyss. After passing some more treetops with [[Manky Kong]]s and a tree with another Steel Barrel, there is a small pit followed by two more trees that are connected to another pair of trees with a vine. After passing another Manky Kong, the Kongs can reach an area of land that consists of a few large ledges. After that, there is a that leads to a Klaptrap and the letter N. They can find an additional Klaptrap on a higher part of the large platform, which is immediately followed by a pair of trees that hold a DK Barrel. After that, there are more sets of trees, vines, enemies, and Manky Kongs.
| |
| | |
| The Kongs then reach another large area of land that features a large alcove with a barrel. The Kongs can also find a tall piece of land behind it that they can reach with Expresso. This area contains a Tire that can help the Kongs break two ground patches that release items. After passing through the rest of the area, they can find two pairs of trees that are connected by twisted vines. Once a Manky Kong is passed, there is a large area of land with a sign on it. The [[exit]] is located after the Kongs climb over a raised piece of land with a Kritter on it, and entering it unlocks [[Clam City]].

| | Halfway through the level, the monkeys and their animal friend must travel east and encounter a Manky Kong. The villainous monkey should be defeated, and then the heroes must continue along the treetops, beating a few more Manky Kongs. Farther on, [[Donkey Kong|Donkey]], [[Diddy]] and Expresso will find themselves on solid ground again, where they can find the letter N, as well as a few foes to defeat. Carrying on, the group will get back on the treetops and have to head a long distance across some twisted vines. Manky Kongs and Klaptraps will try to hinder their progress as they make it through the area, so the heroes must be careful. When they get back to land again, the Kongs and Expresso will need to beat a few Kritters hidden in a small alcove and pass a barrel to get back on the treetops. There, they must trudge up a vine and dodge a lone Manky Kong. Soon, they will make it to solid ground, where they must jump up a ledge to find an exit sign. Farther on is a cave leading to the next level. |

| ===K-O-N-G Letters=== | | ===K-O-N-G Letters=== |
| [[File:Orang-utan Gang 7.png|thumb|The location of the letter K]]
| | *K: Near the beginning of the level, the Kongs can find a small gap between the treetops with a Zinger circling the letter K above it. |
| *'''K:''' Near the start, the letter K is over a small gap, circled by a Zinger, after some bouncing Kritters. | | *O: The letter O is directly under Expresso's Animal Crate on a small platform. The primates must make a small jump in order to cross the small abyss next to it, for if they jump too high, they land on the higher piece of land instead. |
| *'''O:''' The letter O is on a small platform directly under the Expresso Crate. The Kongs must do a small jump to go across the small abyss, else they land on the ground above. | | *N: An area full of Klaptraps is loacted immediately before the second DK Barrel from the Star Barrel. The letter N stands on the edge of a low cliff at the bottom of this area. |
| *'''N:''' An area full of Klaptraps is located immediately before the second DK Barrel from the Continue Barrel. The letter N stands on the edge of a low cliff at the bottom of this area. | | *G: The primates should slam onto a distinguished piece of ground in the fourth Bonus Level to break the letter G from underground. |
| *'''G:''' Inside the fourth bonus level, the Kongs must bounce from a floating, round tire to pound a weak spot in the ground, revealing it. | |

| ===Bonus Levels=== | | ===Bonus Levels=== |
| Orang-utan Gang has five Bonus Levels, listed by their type in the [[Donkey Kong Country (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance version]]:
| | *To find the first Bonus Level, the Kongs must travel about halfway through the level and find Expresso. When they get on the ostrich buddy, they should head west and travel backwards. When the group makes it to the area in the beginning of the level where two Klaptraps were once found, they have to jump off the edge of the cliff to the left. In the air, Expresso should flutter under the treetops as far as he can go. Soon, the heroes reach a hidden platform with a small cave. They must walk into the entrance to enter the first Bonus Level, where they need to hit several moving letters, which orbit the area. They must be hit in the correct order to spell out an Animal Buddy's name, particularly "[[Winky]]." If they touch all of the letters in the correct order, they are awarded with an [[Animal Token]] of the animal name they have spelled out, and then exit the bonus. |
| | | *To get in the second Bonus Level, the heroes must make sure they have Expresso with them, and then travel to the area with the letter N. Expresso, with the Kongs on him, should jump off of the cliff and flutter over an abyss to the right until he lands on a safe platform. There, they must fly over another abyss and land in an area with a barrel. The Kongs must dismount from the ostrich and break open a nearby wall to reveal an opening. If they walk into it, they are sent into a Bonus Level, where they have to bounce off of a tire and land on certain parts of the ground to find special items, including a [[DK Barrel]], an [[Extra Life Balloon]], and a [[Banana Bunch]]. They can exit the stage when they are done through a small opening. |
| *'''''Spell it Out!''''': Reaching the first one requires Expresso. From the first DK Barrel, Expresso must jump off the left edge and flap all the way down to the bottom left of the level; from there, he and the Kongs can land on a hidden platform with an opening that leads to the first Bonus Level. Here, the Kongs must jump at orbiting letters to spell out the names of the four Animal Friends, in order of: [[Winky]], [[Rambi]], [[Enguarde]], and [[Expresso]]. For each Animal Friend's name that the Kongs spell correctly, they are rewarded an [[animal token]] of that Animal Friend. In the Game Boy Advance version, the Kongs only spell out "Winky", because if they get three animal tokens, they do not continue to an Animal Bonus until after the Bonus Level is completed.
| | *Shortly after exiting the second Bonus Level, the Kongs discover a lone barrel near the treetops. They should pick it up and jump into the small abyss to the right to land in a hidden area. There, they need to fall through the next small gap, still holding the barrel, and then blast open the wall to the left. When it breaks, they must walk into the opening and get into the Bonus Level. There, they must bounce off of a tire and land on two distinguished areas of the ground to win two Extra Life Balloons. Once done, they can exit through a nearby opening. |
| *'''''Collect the Prizes!''''': Reaching the second Bonus Level also requires Expresso. He and the Kongs must go to where the letter N is, jump off of the cliff, and glide over an abyss until reaching a platform. From there, Expresso has to glide over another abyss and land on a platform with a barrel, which can break open a wall on the right, opening access to the Bonus Level. There, the Kongs must bounce on a floating round tire to land on three ground patches, which hide a [[DK Barrel]], a [[Red Balloon|Life Balloon]], and a [[Banana Bunch]], respectively. Donkey Kong and Diddy can exit through a small opening to the right. | | *When the heroes get out of the third Bonus Level, they end up next to a barrel. Just as before, they must jump through the closest abyss and land in a hidden area. At this point, they must jump over a small gap, where the third Bonus Level was found before and bust open the wall to the right. An entryway appears as a result, and they should walk into it to enter the fourth Bonus Level. In this special level, the need to bounce off of a lone tire and land on a distinguished area on the ground to find the letter G. Once they are finished with this, they can exit the stage through a small opening. |
| *'''''Collect the Prizes!''''': After the letter N, the Kongs must cross another set of treetops and pass two bouncing Kritters, then two Manky Kongs, and another two bouncing Kritters. The Kongs must pick up a nearby barrel, drop with it in a gap between the ground and treetop, move past a tire stuck in the ground, and go down another gap and hit the barrel against the left wall in the second gap to reveal the Bonus Level entrance. They have to bounce on a tire and land on two distinguished patches on the ground to win either two Life Balloons or two Banana Bunches, one per ground patch. Once done, the Kongs can exit to the right. (In the original version, there is a glitch where if the Kongs bounce on the nearby tire, the opened cave closes back up.) | | *When the Kongs discover the level's final Manky Kong, they should jump to the right of him and wait a moment. Once the foe throws a barrel at them, they need to hop over it and watch as the barrel crashes into a nearby wall, located near a sign that indicates that the end of the level is nearby. It creates an opening in the wall, which the Kongs must walk into to enter the stage's fifth Bonus Level. There, they have to break a crate with Expresso in it. When the bird is found, they should get on him and ride over a wide abyss, collecting many [[banana]]s on the way. At the end of the stage, they can find an Extra Life Balloon to collect, as well as the way out of the stage. |
| *'''''Collect the Prizes!''''': The fourth Bonus Level is accessed similarly to the third one, but instead of dropping into the gap with the third Bonus Level, the Kongs must jump over the gap and run the barrel into a wall to the right. This creates an opening into the Bonus Level, which looks almost the same as the second and third ones, except that there is only one patch on the ground, and it contains the letter G. They can exit the area to the right. | | ===Photograph (Game Boy Advance version only)=== |
| *'''''Find the Exit!''''': To access the Bonus Level, the Kongs must jump over the last Manky Kong, near the third and fourth Bonus Levels. They must wait for Manky Kong to throw a barrel, which rolls along the ground before eventually hitting a nearby wall to the left of an arrow sign pointing to the nearby exit. It creates an opening in the wall, which the Kongs must walk into to enter the stage's fifth and final Bonus Level. There, they must break an Expresso Crate and ride him over a wide abyss. There are four groups of bananas pointing to the right. A platform with a Life Balloon is at the other end, along with the exit. | | *Expresso and the Kongs fly into a camera icon as they travel towards the entrance to the first Bonus Level. The item gives them a [[photograph]] of Diddy Kong riding Expresso for their [[scrapbook]]. |
