Parrot Chute Panic (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)

Parrot Chute Panic is the twenty-sixth level of Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest and Donkey Kong Land 2. It is the fourth area of Gloomy Gulch in both games.

In the last of all the hive levels, the Kongs must use the help of Flapper the Parrot to descend through the dangerous area. The monkeys must use the bird to slowly glide downward, and avoid several Zingers below. Without the Animal Buddy, they would have to jump down at a fast speed, making it hard to dodge the foes on the way. Because of this, Flapper a huge help to this level. Though the Zingers themselves are the primary obstacle in this level, Klampons, Spinies and Click-Clacks will also stand in the way of the Kongs.

Donkey Kong Country 2
When the begin the level, the Kongs must jump down a large abyss and collect several bananas. Then, they have to walk through some sticky honey, and grab onto Flapper. Flapper will start to descend down the hive, where the heroes will find many Zingers. After safely maneuvering around the foes, the Animal Buddy will drop them and the monkeys will then have to walk west. Once they dodge only a few enemies, the monkeys must get on another Flapper, and glide downwards. After they avoid each Zinger in the way again, Flapper will drop the Kongs onto safe ground. Here, they need to jump over a Zinger and defeat a few Klampons. Then, they should grab onto the Flapper nearby. The parrot must guide the heroes to their next destination. Once it takes them around several Zingers, it will let go of the group, who must then grab onto another Flapper. After squeezing through the tight, Zinger filled spaces in the next area, this Flapper will let go of the monkeys, just as the others. As they fall, the monkeys will run into the Star Barrel.

After that, the Kongs need to cling onto yet another Flapper. It will guide them around many Zingers in one small space, and soon drop them off on land, where they must jump up to another parrot buddy. After this one takes them past a few foes, it will drop them to safe ground again. Here, the heroes need to beat a Spiny and get on another Flapper. This time, it will take them a longer distance than the before Flappers, and try to sneak the Kongs between many close together Zingers. Soon, it will drop them to an area with a lone Klampon. After they defeat this enemy, they must jump down a gap to beat three Click-Clacks, and hop over to the next Flapper. It will guide the group to another Flapper. This bird must descend through the deep hive and watch out for several bee swarms. After it dodges all the Zingers, the parrot needs to squeeze into a tight space and drop the Kongs off to the Ending Pad, which will allow them to exit the level.

Bonus Level(s)
Near the beginning of the level, the monkeys will defeat two Klampons and then descend through the hive with Flapper. After the bird maneuvers around several Zingers, it will enter a more spacious area. Here, the bird should hurry to the left side, where it will creep over an small ledge. A No Animal Sign will cause the bird to disappear, and then the Kongs must walk into the nearby entryway. It will take them to the Bonus Level, where they need to get on Squawks the Parrot and fly upwards through the area. Eventually, they will reach the Kremkoin.

After the heroes let go of the second Flapper past the Star Barrel, they must jump across an abyss and grab onto a hidden, gooey honey wall. They need to climb up the wall, and enter the Bonus Level through the opening in the wall. In this Bonus Stage, the Kongs must cling onto Squawks and fly around the hive. After the animals defeat all the Zingers scattered around the area, the Kremkoin will appear.

DK Coin
When the Kongs jump down the abyss at the beginning of the level, they should feel around the left wall. They might land right into a small gap in the wall. The DK Coin is here.

Golden Feather (GBA Only)
After passing three Click-Clacks, the heroes must descent through more of the hive with Flapper. As they go, they should see the Golden Feather in plain sight. It is up in a tight corner, though.
