'''Arctic Abyss''' is the twenty-eighth [[level]] of ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'' and the first level of [[K. Rool's Keep]]. Arctic Abyss takes place in an ice cavern largely involving [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] and [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] swimming in the water. Because of this, they have to avoid several underwater enemies along the way. There are two [[Animal Barrel]]s of [[Enguarde]] along the way.
'''Arctic Abyss''' is the twenty-eight [[level]] of ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'', as well as the first level of the fifth [[world]], [[K. Rool's Keep]].

From the start of the level, the monkeys must swim down the path and turn into Enguarde. Then, as the swordfish, they must continue between the icy walls of the abyss and defeat several enemies. Enguarde needs to use the help of [[banana]]s to guide him through the path, as there are many twists, turns, and dead ends. Once the fish makes it all the way down, he must swim upwards through another path. There are more enemies here, including Shuries, Flotsams, and even Lockjaws. Puftups also expand in tight spaces to become a hard-to-pass obstacles. Soon, the animal will pass the No Animal Sign, and turn back into the Kongs. The no longer transformed heroes must then hop over a few gaps and beat foes, including Spinies and Klampons. Then, they will pass the Star Barrel and walk along the path.  


Halfway through the level, the monkeys must dip into the water and turn into Enguarde again. This fish needs to then swim downwards and defeat several enemies with his sharp nose. There are still the usual foes, Lockjaws, Shuris, Flotsams, and Puftups, as he makes his way down the watery abyss. At some point, the swordfish must make a U turn, and go upwards through a different path. As he travels between the icy walls, there are many, many Puftups in the way, and they must be avoided at all costs. With the help of the banana trails, Enguarde should be able to maneuver around each of the foes, and soon make it to another No Animal Sign. This will turn him back into Diddy and Dixie, who need to cross two abysses out of the water, as well as dodge a lone Spiny. After this, they will find a spring to bounce them out of the level.'
This level takes place in an icy cavern. Water is preponerant here, hosting many underwater [[enemies]], which include [[Flotsam]]s, [[Puftup]]s, [[Lockjaw]]s, and [[Shuri]]s; nevertheless, there are also land enemies, which include some [[Klampon]]s and [[Spiny (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Spinies]]. [[Enguarde the Swordfish]] makes another appearance, helping the [[Kong]]s swim easier and safer.

==Items and objects==
Halfway through the level, the monkeys must dip into the water and turn into Enguarde again. This fish needs to then swim downwards and defeat several enemies with his sharp nose. There are still the usual foes, Lockjaws, Shuris, Flotsams, and Puftups, as he makes his way down the watery abyss. At some point, the swordfish must make a U turn, and go upwards through a different path. As he travels between the icy walls, there are many, many Puftups in the way, and they must be avoided at all costs.

This will turn him back into Diddy and Dixie, who need to cross two abysses out of the water, as well as dodge a lone Spiny. After this, they will find a spring to bounce them out of the level.'
The following items and objects appear in the following quantities:
*[[Banana Coin]]: 1
*[[DK Barrel]]: 3
*[[Red Balloon]]: 1
===KONG Letters===
*K: Found above two Puftup floating high.
*O: At the bottom of a pool of water to the left of the Star Barrel.
*N: In a corner high above a lone Shuri.
*G: At the end of a small cavern. Taking a left turn at a fork in the path will lead to the "G" Letter.


===Cranky's Video Game Hero Coin===
==Secrets==
To the right of the Star Barrel, either Diddy or Dixie must perform their respective [[cartwheel]] or [[Helicopter Spin]] move to get on an elevated platform. As they continue, the Kongs can find the [[DK Coin|Video Game Hero Coin]].
====Bonus Level(s)====
*Once the Kongs plunge into the water after the Star Barrel, they should look around the wall to the left. They will squeeze into a small space and have to defeat a few enemies. When they reach the dead end, they must swim right up to the wall, where they'll find the hidden Bonus Barrel. In it's Bonus Level, the monkeys must swim through the area, avoiding foes, such as Flotsams, until they get to the end, where the Kremkoin is.
*Just before the No Animal Sign, the Kongs must float down and spy another small opening on the left wall. They should swim through here and defeat enemies, until they get to the Bonus Barrel, leading to the Bonus Level. Here, they need to collect several stars (which are in the formation of the letters, DK), and then swim to the bottom-center of the area to claim their Kremkoin. Time is short, so they must swim quickly.


==Bonus Levels==
====DK Coin====
{{multiframe|[[File:Arctic Abyss DKL2 Bonus Level 1.png]] [[File:Arctic Abyss DKL2 Bonus Level 2.png]]|size=340|The first and second Bonus Levels respectively}}
Before dipping into the water after the Star Barrel, the Kongs will see a high ledge to the right. They should jump up there and walk along the ice, until they find the [[DK Coin]].
Arctic Abyss has two [[Bonus room|Bonus Level]]s, of the following type:
*'''Find the Token!''': After the Star Barrel, the Kongs must go back into the water, where they can enter an Enguarde Barrel. Enguarde must swim through a narrow path to the left, avoiding two Flotsams along the way, until reaching a dead end. The [[Bonus Barrel]] is hidden at the top-left corner. In the [[Bonus Level]], Enguarde has 15 seconds to collect the [[Kremkoin]] at the end. He must swim down a path shaped like a mirrored 'S' and avoid a few Flotsams and Shuri along the way.
*'''Collect the Stars!''': After the letter G, Enguarde must swim up and then swim into the left. He must defeat a Shuri and two Flotsam along the way and then swim up to a Bonus Barrel above. In the Bonus Level, Enguarde has 20 seconds to collect 25 [[star (Donkey Kong franchise)|star]]s forming the shape of the [[Donkey Kong|DK]] initials. Once every star is collected, the Kremkoin appears.
