Elevator Antics

Elevator Antics is the twenty-fifth level of the popular game in the Donkey Kong series, Donkey Kong Country. It is also the third level of the Kremkroc Industries, Inc. area. In the Game Boy Advance remake of the game, Elevator Antics is the twenty-sixth level, as well as the fourth area of Kremkroc Industries, Inc.

Taking place in a long cave, the heroes will have to climb up and down ropes, facing Slippas, Zingers, and Oil Drums. Not far into the level, though, they will meet a new obstacle. Throughout much of the level, the monkeys will be riding on small elevators filled with large amounts of coal. They will have to jump across each elevator to cross wide abysses and also avoid many Klumps along the way. Strangely, this level, because of the elevators, is very similar to the third level of the Donkey Kong arcade game, which also features elevators.

Bonus Level(s)

 * At the very beginning of the level, the monkeys must make a big jump to the right to reach a rope over the area. They should climb it up to reach an opening, leading to the Bonus Level. There, the Kongs will need to hit four barrels so the KONG Letters on them all spell out "Kong", in order. If this is done correctly, the heroes will be awarded, then exit the special stage.
 * After crawling under two walls near the beginning of the level, the heroes will enter an open area with a few ropes, all guarded by Zingers. The monkeys should avoid the foes and climb to the top of the last rope. There, they will need to hop to the right ti enter a hidden area at the top of the screen. Farther on, they will enter a Bonus Level, where they will have to shot through several spinning barrels to collect some special items, including the letter O, an Animal Token, and a green Extra Life Balloon. Once this is done, the monkeys can exit to the far right end of the bonus.
 * When the Kongs begin to go down the last elevator in the level, they will have to stand on it and not jump to the ledge nearby. After they reach the bottom of the screen, they will see an entryway. Walking into it will take them to a Bonus Level. There, they will need to shoot upwards through a barrel to collect many bananas. If they miss the barrel upon trying to land, though, the special level will end.

Trivia

 * In the Game Boy Advance remake of Donkey Kong Country, this level switched positions with Poison Pond, making it the fourth level of Kremkroc Industries, Inc.
