Gusty Glade (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)

This article is under construction. Therefore, please excuse its informal appearance while it is being worked on. We hope to have it completed by February 14, 2010.

Template:Level Gusty Glade is the twenty-fifth level of Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest and Donkey Kong Land 2. It is the third area of Gloomy Gulch.

Although taking place in an eerie forest, this level has strong gusts of wind that can push the Kongs into abysses. Sometimes, the wind can be tricky and change directions suddenly, so the monkeys must watch their footing. To make things a little easier, Rattly the Rattlesnake can be found in this stage, but is hidden behind a high ledge right at the beginning of the level. Enemies here include,Klampons, Kannons, Neeks, Spinys, Click-Clacks and Flitters, as well as Kutlass, who only appears in Donkey Kong Country 2's version of Gusty Glade.

It should also be noted that this is the only level in Donkey Kong Land 2 that is almost entirerly the same as Donkey Kong Country 2's version of the stage. Although some enemies or items may have been excluded or moved, the layout remains very similar. Even though the layout is alike in both games, however, Bonus Levels and other secrets are still hidden in distinct places.

Level Layout

Donkey Kong Country 2/Donkey Kong Land 2

When the Kongs begin their quest through this level, they must travel east or climb up the ledge behind them to grab Rattly. As they move through the strange forest, they need to jump up a big ledge using the help of the wind, and cross a large abyss after that. They are able to grab a Banana Coin as they get across this gap. From after that gap, the monkeys must defeat a few enemies and soon cross another giant abyss. On the other side of it, they'll have to hop over a small gap and bounce off of some foes on small platforms. After beating the several Neeks and Klampons on these platforms, the heroes must jump over another large gap and defeat some more enemies. From there, they need to leap up to a hook and get on top of a high ledge with it. Right after this, the monkeys will pass the No Animal Sign, causing Rattly to disappear if they got him. Once he is gone, they must hop into a barrel and hit the Star Barrel.

From that point, the heroes must shoot across an abyss and continue east. Here, they need to use a hook to get up a high ledge, and then defeat a few more enemies. They will have to cross two gaps after that. One of them has too Zingers in the center of it, so the monkeys should be cautious. Once they get to a cannon, they must get over a very large gap, using a few hooks. However, the wind is switching back and fourth, so they must watch their timing on when they jump, or else be blown off course. After that, the Kongs need to trudge through the wind, and beat a nearby Kannon on the way. Eventually, the monkeys will get into a barrel and shoot to the following barrels. But, again, the wind is tricky, and can blow them away from their destination. When they reach land again, they must drop down a big ledge and cross a few abysses with the wind's help. Soon, they will get into a barrel and try to blast to the other barrels. As before, they wind is tricky, and they m=need to be careful on their timing. After that, the group will finally hit the Ending Pad.
