Angry Aztec

Angry Aztec is the second world of Donkey Kong 64 that can only be accessed once five Golden Bananas have been collected. It is located in the desert, and models the ancient civilization of the Aztec.

Lanky Kong and Tiny Kong are both being held captive in Angry Aztec by King K. Rool, and after they are saved, become playable characters from that point onwards. In this level, Diddy Kong gets the chance to practice his Rocketbarrel Boost skills with a buzzard. Donkey Kong can free a llama from a cage, which later assists the Kongs by cooling a pool of lava with his spit in the Llama's Temple allowing Lanky Kong to be freed. There is also the Beetle that Tiny races on a large slide. The level's boss, Dogadon, is a giant insect-like dragon (a pun on "dragonfly") that tries to hurt Diddy with fire. A notable area in this level is the five-door temple in which the Kroc resides.

 * The main theme for the level was originally composed as part of Mayahem Temple while it was going to be a level in Banjo-Kazooie, also while it was known as Project Dream. The music track was named "Lost 2" by the composer of both Banjo-Kazooie and Donkey Kong 64, Grant Kirkhope.
 * If the player defeats a Zinger and its body falls into the sand, the body will disappear in a burst of flames, and it won't give away a melon slice.
 * After the player frees the Buzzard held captive outside Snide's HQ, completes its challenge and receives its Golden Banana, it will fly away. If the player revisits Angry Aztec later, it will appear inside its cell again, with no way of freeing it.
