Level 7 is the seventh level in Donkey Kong Country Barrel Maze. The level is one of two to feature a 30-second time limit, the shortest time limit out of all ten levels in the game.

Overview

The barrel starts near the base of a long slant that leads to the top of the level. From the peak, the barrel can descend onto some small platforms featuring Enemy Barrels and eventually reach a light slant that goes into a stream. As it lands on the slant, the barrel should quickly cut to a grassy plot of land at the left and continue on to encounter a bridge, avoiding a boulder and reaching the goal.

The starting time limit is rather restricting, but there is an optional path littered with Hourglasses that extend the time. After going up the large slant at the beginning and reaching its peak, the barrel can fall down the yellow platforms on the left and carefully roll down a bevel to encounter the bank of a river, which the barrel can explore to collect the bonuses found there. The bank continues with a bridge to a span of muddy land filled with other bonuses and leading back to the starting point.
