Congo Carnage

Congo Carnage is the eighth level in Donkey Kong Land and of the first world, Gangplank Galleon Ahoy!. It is the last jungle level in the game.

Summary
Congo Carnage is a short level in similar vein to Rope Ravine except that it takes place in the jungle. Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong swing from ropes to get across the wide gaps below. The Kongs encounter many Zingers circling the ropes, as well as Kritters, Gnawtys, and perched Neckies, who first appear in the level. The Steel Keg also first appears in the level, and it can be used to defeat several enemies consecutively or to break open walls in the level.

Layout
From the start of the level, the heroes must hop in a barrel to shoot to a rope. The rope will guide them to the letter K, and then take them to a high ledge. There, they will have to drop down a smaller ledge and come up to a Steel Keg. They should throw it down the path and defeat all the enemies walking by. Once the Kongs follow the barrel until it falls into a pit, they must sneak under a nut-throwing Necky and quickly cling onto a nearby rope. It will lead them to another rope, which must be grabbed onto. This rope will take them to land again, where the Continue Point is.

Halfway through the level, the Kongs need to continue east and sneak under another Necky, before it hits them with its coconuts. Traveling down more of the path will lead the Kongs into a ditch. The walls here are too large to jump over, but there is another Steel Keg which they should throw at the wall on the right to break it, opening a small tunnel they can walk through. The group must journey along more of the jungle from there and soon reach a rope. It will guide them over a large pit. However, as it moves to the other end of the abyss, the heroes must watch out for many Zingers flying all around the area. Shortly after collecting the letter G, they will make it to a platform with a barrel on it. When they jump in the barrel, it will blast them to a portal. Jumping into this portal will take the Kongs to the next level.
