Harvest Hazards

Harvest Hazards is the first level of the Juicy Jungle area in Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze. The level takes place inside the jungle, where the fruits are harvested and processed.

Overview
The level starts out in the place covered with huge berries and vines. Before starting the level, enemies, such as a group of Buzzy, Bouncelisks, and a Toucan't, are showed, apparently harvesting some fruits. As its name suggests, the main features of this level are various kinds of fruit, which consist of the fruits that act as a hazard such as spiked fruits and fruits that act as a helpful tools to Kongs such as bouncy red berries. Some varieties of fruits are seen on the background, with some piles of them blocking the left side of the level. Fruit harvesting machines in a shape of a spiked tong continuously swoop on the tree that bears spiked berries, which act as a hazard that can hurt the Kongs if they are on contact with these machines. Other than machines, wooden karts and wooden platforms take major parts of this level; most of them are helpful tools for the Kongs. Enemies are heavily focused on or based on the fruits or animals that feed on them, such as Bouncelisks, Toucan'ts, and so forth.
