Slammin' Steel

Slammin' Steel is the forty-eighth level in Donkey Kong Country Returns, as well as the second level in the Factory world.

The whole level takes place inside a factory where there are many platforms pounding the ceiling and floor. A bulk of the level has machinery that will crush players if they are caught in it, losing one heart. Conveyor belts are also a common sight in this level, with many Electroids proving to be a nuisance. The steel machinery can crush the Kongs against the floors, ceilings, and some can even smash them against walls.

In the Time Attack mode of the game, a time of 1:32:00 is needed to get a gold medal, a time of 1:40:00 for silver, and a time of 2:13:00 for bronze.
