Twilight Terror

Twilight Terror is the fifth level of Bright Savannah in Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze. It is a Rocket Barrel level that takes place above water, with Gargantuan Gills attacking from the background. It is also the only level in the game with two secret exits.

Another cover of "Mine Menace" from Donkey Kong Country Returns, titled after the level's name, plays throughout the Rocket Barrel sequence, while a cover of "Stickerbush Symphony" from Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest plays before and after it.

Overview
At the start of the level, Donkey Kong will encounter a single Waldough, and a raft with a DK Barrel floating on the water. Once they start up the Rocket Barrel, the gate to the right will open. As the Kongs proceed through the first part of the level, a blue Gargantuan Gills will arrive from the background and act as an obstacle. Collectibles encased in bubbles will also appear from the water. The Kongs will also need to avoid sea stacks, and Green Finleys that leap out from the water.

After reaching the first checkpoint, the Kongs will enter what appears to be a fishing ground for Tucks, where fishing nets carrying schools of fish are being raised and lowered and as a result get in the Rocket Barrel's way. As the Kongs make their way through, the Gargantuan Gills will reappear in the background and topple over some of the wooden fishing structures, creating more obstacles for them. After passing through a small shack, the Kongs will leave the fishing ground and find the next checkpoint.

In the final part of the level, more Gargantuan Gills will appear from the background and swim towards the camera, including purple ones, which jump out from the water instead. Eventually, the Rocket Barrel will reach a waterfall and begin to sputter. A blue Gargantuan Gills will then leap towards the Kongs, but unsuccessfully catches them as they dismount the Rocket Barrel and dive into the water below. The Slot Machine Barrel is found on a raft on the water's surface.

First secret exit
Dixie Kong is required to access this secret exit. The portal leading to it is found at the bottom of the lake, where the blue Gargantuan Gills lies unconscious. Using Dixie's hair, the player must swim through the water current here to reach the portal, which leads to a small area with the Slot Machine Barrel. This secret exit leads to Rickety Rafters.

Second secret exit
Either Dixie Kong or Cranky Kong must be used to access this secret exit. The portal leading to it is be found above the entrance to the fishing shack. Once inside, the player must use Dixie's hover spin or Cranky's cane to reach the Slot Machine Barrel. This secret exit leads to Bramble Scramble.
