Tidal Terror

Tidal Terror is the sixteenth level in Donkey Kong Country Returns, as well as the seventh area in the Beach world.

This level is unique compared to other beach levels because it features strong waves that occasionally wash over the rock pathways of the level. The waves are so strong that they can easily wipe away Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong instantly, along with any item or banana in their path. Therefore, anytime the Kongs are out of a cave, they must find shelter under large rock walls to avoid being swept away. However, the waves move fast and there are not many walls to protect the heroes, so they have to move quickly from wall to wall, some of which crumble when hit by the waves. Enemies in this level include red and orange crabs, sharks that jump out of the water, and squids.
