Overview

This level is a redone version of Level 3-DK, but the level has a completely different layout featuring several disintegrating platforms stacked on each other to allow the player to reach Donkey Kong. There are also two Thwomp Platforms, one on both sides of the stage, that the player can use as an additional platform. Donkey Kong attacks by throwing down barrels and lava rocks, which bounce on any remaining disintegrating platforms and land on the ground or into the lava below. The player will need to either avoid the lava rocks, or deflect them with a Handstand. When tossing barrels, he will rotate between tossing a barrel that flips up and down as it falls, one that rolls on its side as it falls, and then throwing a barrel directly downward. Barrels that flip up and down and barrels that are thrown downward will always land upright, but barrels that roll on their side will fall through the ground into the lava. However, barrels that roll sideways can be deflected upright with a Handstand. Once a barrel lands upright, the player can pick it up and throw the barrel at Donkey Kong when they are on one of the higher platforms. The disintegrating platforms will disappear when either the player, a barrel, a Thwomp Platform, or a lava rock touches it. Getting crushed by a Thwomp Platform or falling into the lava will result in an immediate loss. Throwing four barrels at Donkey Kong will defeat him and the player can move on to the next world.
