Level 9 is the ninth level in Donkey Kong Country Barrel Maze. It is the final level to feature mud, as well as the final level to feature Buzzards. The level heavily features Enemy Barrels, which are the enemy encountered most frequently throughout the level.
Overview[edit]
The barrel begins on a small patch surrounded by multiple cliffs and a river stream. Throughout the level, it has to cross bridges over pits and, go up ramps, consecutively pass through muddy puddles and fields patrolled by Enemy Barrels. A Buzzard eventually appears above the highest ledge and attacks the playable barrel. The goal is located a few bridges beyond, on the brink of a ledge. Near this area is a secondary path that features four Gold Barrels, a bunch of bananas, and an Hourglass at the end of it. However, if the player chooses to go down this path, it does not appear that they have the option to go backward to the goal. Instead, it appears that they are forced to fall off a ledge and try the level again.
