'''Lift-off Launch''' is the fifty-fourth level in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D]]'', as well as the eighth level in the [[Factory (Donkey Kong Country Returns)|Factory]] world.


This level is unique compared to other levels in the [[Donkey Kong Country (series)|''Donkey Kong Country'' series]], as it lacks many components from other levels, being the [[K-O-N-G Letters]], [[Puzzle Piece (Donkey Kong Country Returns)|Puzzle Pieces]], Time Attack, and the Mirror Mode variant. The main feature of the level is a [[Rocket Barrel]] that rides vertically instead of horizontally. Additionally, it is the shortest level in the game and can only be accessed if [[Donkey Kong|Donkey]] or [[Diddy Kong]] find the three hidden switches in [[Cog Jog (Donkey Kong Country Returns)|Cog Jog]], [[Switcheroo]], and [[Music Madness]]. Similar to other factory levels, it begins in a factory, where the Kongs must enter a large rocket. To the right of the rocket, a [[Blow#List of objects that can be blown onto|Lightbulb]] can be found, and it can be blown to get a collectible. A Rocket Barrel is entered when the Kong's enter the rocket, which they launch out of into the skies.
This level is unique compared to other levels in the [[Donkey Kong Country (series)|''Donkey Kong Country'' series]] because not only it lacks [[K-O-N-G Letters]] and [[Puzzle Piece (Donkey Kong Country Returns)|Puzzle Pieces]], but also features a [[Rocket Barrel]] that rides vertically instead of horizontally, without leading the [[Kong]]s to a boss in the same level. Additionally, it is the shortest level in the game and can only be accessed if [[Donkey Kong|Donkey]] or [[Diddy Kong]] find the three hidden switches in [[Cog Jog (Donkey Kong Country Returns)|Cog Jog]], [[Switcheroo]], and [[Music Madness]]. Similar to other factory levels, it begins in a factory, where the Kongs must enter a large rocket. A Rocket Barrel is in this rocket, which the primates ride the rocket out of into the skies.


When the Kongs begin riding, they rise above the trees and head towards a trail of bananas and an [[Extra Life Balloon]]. As they progress higher, the sky becomes darker, and they ascend through a narrow passageway of factory walls. Floating ships full of [[Tiki Tak Tribe|Tiki]]s are just ahead of here and act as obstacles. After the primates dodge the ships for some time, one of the ships begins to drop many bananas. When they pass this ship, they rise slightly higher until reaching the next level, [[Feather Fiend]], which is up near the entrance to the [[Volcano]].
When the primates begin riding, they rise above the trees and head towards a trail of bananas and an [[Extra Life Balloon]]. As they progress higher, the sky becomes darker, and they ascend through a narrow passageway of factory walls. Floating ships full of [[Tiki]] enemies are just ahead of here, and the Rocket Barrel explodes if it smashes into them, thus losing one of their [[Extra Life Balloon]]s. After the primates dodge the ships for some time, one of the ships begins to drop many bananas. When they pass this ship, they rise slightly higher until reaching the next level, [[Colonel Pluck|Feather Fiend]], which is up near the entrance to the [[Volcano]].
