Gusty Glade (Donkey Kong Land 2)

Gusty Glade is the twenty-fifth level of Donkey Kong Land 2 and the fifth level of Gloomy Gulch.

Summary
Gusty Glade takes place within a spooky forest. The level's main feature and obstacle is a strong wind that sways left and right, pushing Diddy and Dixie in the direction it blows. There are several pits where the Kongs must use hooks, Barrel Cannons, or the strong wind to get across. The hooks and Barrel Cannons are usually distanced apart and can only be reached if the strong wind carries the Kongs there. The gust sometimes blows in the opposite direction that the Kongs must take, which could easily lead to them falling in a pit and losing a life.

At the very start, the Kongs can enter an Animal Barrel to continue as Rattly the Rattlesnake for a portion of the level. They can reach it by jumping to an invisible hook and continuing to the upper-left across a trail of hooks.

Layout
Gusty Glade has a very similar layout to the eponymous Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest level. Some enemies and items in Gusty Glade were excluded or moved, although the Bonus Levels and other secrets are in distinct areas.

Enemies

 * Kannon
 * Klampon
 * Klomp

 * Zinger

K-O-N-G Letters

 * K: The letter K is inside the first Treasure Chests, which is shortly after the first DK Barrel.
 * O: The letter O is on a thin platform found shortly after the second DK Barrel.
 * N: Shortly after the Star Barrel, the Kongs can find the second Treasure Chest around a few Spinies. Breaking it reveals the letter N.
 * G: The letter G hovers above the second-to-last pit in the level. An Auto-Fire Barrel is beneath the letter G to catch the Kongs when they drop to it.

DK Coin
Near the end of the level, after passing an area with a Kannon, the Kongs must blast across a pit with Barrel Cannons and acquire the DK Coin along the way.
