This level takes place in the cargo hold of a crashed [[Kremling]] galleon, which is full of boiling hot water that the [[Kong]]s cannot swim through safely. Fortunately, [[Clapper the Seal]] is located all around the level to cool down the water to a survivable temperature for both [[Diddy Kong]] and [[Dixie Kong]]. The water stays cool only for a limited amount of time, so the Kongs cannot waste any time while in the liquid. This level is also populated by [[Neek]]s, [[Klampon]]s, [[Flotsam]]s, [[Lockjaw]]s, [[Puftup]]s, [[Kaboing]]s, [[Click-Clack]]s, and a [[Klobber]] who are not affected by the hot water.

However, in ''Donkey Kong Land 2'', the only enemies that appear are Flotsams, Puftups, Klomps, and Lockjaws. Luckily, [[Enguarde the Swordfish]] appears in this level, and he can help the heroes defeat enemies and move faster through the water.


Unlike most levels, there are two [[K-O-N-G Letters|letter N's]] in this level. However, after one of them is collected, the other one disappears.

The Auto Fire Barrel can blast them upwards into a higher area with another Auto Fire Barrel in it, which can then shoot them onto some crates. As they shoot through the barrels, the water level quickly rises. Additionally, after shooting out of the first of the Auto Fire Barrels, the primates can move along the left side of the wall to head through a crate and into a thin area that contains another Auto Fire Barrel, which can blast them onto the higher crates and to a Banana Coin. After the heroes reach the top of the area with either of the two paths, they can find a Klampon and another Clapper next to an area of water. Once the seal cools down the water, they can safely swim through to find some bananas along the ground. Some Flotsams and two Lockjaws also swim through the water, which the letter O is located above in an alcove. A small gap is also placed at the top of the underwater area, and if the primates jump through it, they can find an area above the water that contains an [[Invincibility Barrel]]. If they continue through the water from here, they soon reach a Banana Bunch in a small alcove and a passage leading upwards, where the heroes can find some large crates above the surface of the water that hold a Klampon. A [[Star Barrel]] is located above these crates.

A [[Star Barrel]] is located above these crates.


Two small gaps full of water are ahead of here, and a Kaboing jumps on the thin platform between them. There is a Clapper placed after the pits, and the heroes can bounce on the helper to cool down a nearby area of water. As they swim through this water, they come up to a DK Barrel and a few crates in the bottom-right corner of the area that they can swim through to find a hidden room with an [[Animal Barrel]] containing Enguarde in it. A Banana Bunch is also located next to this crate. If the primates head west through the underwater area, they make their way past some bananas and Puftups. After they pass the foes, they make their way up a passage that take them to some large crates and barrels positioned above the surface of the water. A Clapper is on these objects, and once the heroes approach it, the water level rises. After the water rises, the heroes must make their way through a passage that is placed above a group of bananas that form an arrow pointing upwards. If they follow the arrow and head upwards, they make their way into a large area full of Lockjaws.

Once they drop into the gap, they can find a thin passage leading to the west that is full of Click-Clacks. At the end of the passage, they can find a Clapper next to a pool of water. As they swim through this water, they come past several Puftups that rise and fall in the water. Alcoves are also scattered throughout the area, and they contain bananas and a Banana Bunch. Soon, they Kongs make their way into a thin passage that leads to both a small area with the letter G in it and another room with a Clapper in it. A hidden area can be accessed if they swim through the crates to the right of the Clapper, and it holds several bananas, an Invincibility Barrel, and a [[DK Coin]]. An Auto Fire Barrel is also located at the end of this hidden room to blast the heroes out of the water before it burns them. If the primates do not take this hidden path, they must instead swim upwards through a narrow passage to reach the surface of the water, where they can find some large crates and barrels with a Klobber on them. An [[End of Level Target]] follows the enemy, and the level is completed successfully if it is jumped on. Additionally, if the primates use a nearby [[Dixie Barrel]] and blast to the target with it, they complete the level and win a prize.

From the start of the level, the monkeys must jump on the first Clapper, who cools down the water. When it is safe to go in, the heroes need to quickly jump in the liquid and swim to the other side of the pool, before the water heats up and burns them. They then go east across the crates and jump on the second Clapper. When that water is cooled, the group can swim through. On the way, there is a barrel with [[Enguarde]] in it. They can break it and turn into the fish. The animals must then swim slightly south, and then go east, until a dead end is reached. After that, the group should move north, but before the water heats up. They soon cross a "No Enguarde" sign, causing them to lose Enguarde, and then jump up onto more luggage. The monkeys should then jump on the third Clapper, who, yet again, cools down the hot liquid. The apes should hop into the pool and swim around. Enguarde can be found again straight down through the water to ride through it faster. When the pool's exit is found, the heroes cross another "No Enguarde" sign and lose the swordfish. There is another Clapper nearby, whom the monkeys must jump to cool down the warm water. When the liquid is at a good temperature, they need to go through it again and swim around the crates, avoiding underwater pests, such as [[Flotsam]]s. Once out of the water, the heroes can break the Star Barrel.  
The Kongs begin the level under a DK Barrel on a pile of large crates and barrels. A Clapper is ahead of here with a pool of water next to it, which contains a pair of Flotsams that are surrounded by bananas. The heroes also can find a Banana Bunch in a small alcove as they swim through the underwater area. After they pass the Flotsams, they makes their way upwards to the surface of another part of the water, where they can find more large crates that they can walk on. The letter K is located on the other side of the water to the left of here, and some crates are in front of it that the duo can jump through. If they continue east from here, they come past a Klomp and a Clapper, who can cool down the nearby pool of water. As they swim through this water, they head down into a wide room with a Lockjaw and a Flotsam in it. An [[Animal Barrel]] that contains Enguarde is southwest of here, and if the primates continue after passing the barrel, they come into an area full of Lockjaws. The letter O is below the enemies in a small alcove. After they travel to the rightmost part of the underwater area, they must head upwards past more Lockjaws to find a No Animal Sign that makes Enguarde disappear when crossed.


Halfway through the level, the group must jump on another Clapper and cool down the water. When they jump in the liquid, then need to swim in a large U shape around the luggage, following some bananas on the way. Once out, the Kongs should go east and go down to the next Clapper. When in the water, they need to, yet again, swim in a U shape and hop out of the water, going to the right. Another Clapper is waiting nearby, who cools down the water. The heroes must move through the liquid quickly, watching out for more underwater enemies, such as Lockjaws and Flotsams. Finally, the monkeys should find their way out of the water and jump on a spring leading out of the level.
A large, flat pile of crates follows the sign, and it holds a Clapper that can cool down another pool of water located nearby. On the other side of the water's surface here, the Kongs can find a Banana Coin floating high in the air. As they swim through the underwater area, they head down through a wide passage with a pair of Puftups in it. After they pass the enemies, they discover another Animal Barrel that contains Enguarde and a group of bananas that form an arrow pointing to the right. There are two passages to the right of this arrow; the passage on the top leads to a Flotsam, while the other leads to a Puftup, another Flotsam, and a Banana Coin. Once the heroes reach the other side of the two passages, they can find a passage above them with a few Puftups in it. If they avoid these enemies and make their way the whole way up, they can find a No Animal Sign that makes Enguarde disappear when crossed and a pile of crates above the water that hold a Clapper. If the heroes pass the sign with Enguarde, they are also given a Banana Bunch as a prize. The nearby Clapper can be jumped on to cool down another water area, which contains more bananas and enemies. After the primates reach the bottom of the underwater section, they must travel east past some Flotsams and Puftups to progress. Soon, they can find a passage leading to the surface of the water. As they swim through the passage, they reach a lone Puftup and then a pile of large crates above the liquid that they can walk on. A Star Barrel and a DK Barrel are above the crates.
 
The Kongs can find a Clapper and more hot liquid ahead of here. After the seal cools down the water, they can safely swim through it. As they begin swimming through the water, they make their way down a long, straight, passage with some bananas around it. Eventually, they reach a passage leading to the west, which contains some Flotsams and a Lockjaw. A small area is to the north of the Lockjaw, and it contains a Puftup and the letter N. If the primates continue to the right from where where this area is located, they reach a group of bananas that form the shape of an arrow pointing upwards. If they head to the east from here, they come past a Lockjaw and a Banana Bunch, which is located under a passage with a DK Coin in it. If the Kongs instead follow the arrow, they make their way up through another long, straight passage with bananas around it. At the top of the area, they can find the surface of the water with some crates surrounding it. The group of crates to the left of here lead to a [[Bonus Barrel]], while the crates to the right of the water take the two friends to a ledge with another Clapper on it.
 
If they swim through the water ahead of the seal after cooling it down, they make their way down into another passage that leads to the east. As they swim through here, they reach some Flotsams and a Puftup, along with a Banana Bunch in a small alcove. Another passage is to the north of the Banana Bunch, and the heroes come up to a Puftup as they swim through it. Shortly after dodging this foe, they approach a pile of crates that they can walk on to progress over the water. A DK Barrel and a Klomp are along these crates, as well as a Clapper, who can cool down another section of water. As the duo swims through here, they come towards a Lockjaw and a Flotsam, who both guard an Animal Barrel with Enguarde in it. A Banana Coin is to the left of this barrel in the corner of the area next to a dead end. A thin passage that the heroes must swim through to progress is near Enguarde's Animal Barrel, and once they swim through it, they enter a large room that contains a group of bananas that form the shape of an arrow pointing to the right. To the left of this arrow, they can find a few Lockjaws and a Banana Coin, along with a small alcove that contains the letter G. If the primates head to the right of the arrow, where it directs them to, they enter a wide passage leading upwards. As they journey through the passage, they reach a Puftup, a Flotsam, and a Banana Bunch, which is placed in a corner. After they pass the two enemies, they reach a No Animal Sign that makes Enguarde disappear when crossed. Some crates are above the surface of the water near here, and they hold a spring. If they jump on this spring, they complete the level successfully.
