Rope (ghost)

Ghost Ropes are long, rope-like ghosts encountered in the game Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest and its pseudo-sequel, Donkey Kong Land 2.

In Donkey Kong Country 2 and Donkey Kong Land 2, Ghost Ropes are first encountered in the level Ghostly Grove, which is the first level in the area Gloomy Gulch. Here, Ghost Ropes appear and constantly disappear. Diddy and Dixie Kong must use Ghost Ropes like normal ropes to cross Ghostly Grove's various large abysses. If the Ghost Rope Diddy and Dixie are currently on disappears, they will fall, so they must hop from Ghost Rope to Ghost Rope quickly. As the level progresses, Ghost Ropes appear and disappear at an even faster rate. Ghost Ropes later appear for a second time in the level Web Woods, but only in Donkey Kong Land 2. However, they are seen only at the very beginning of the level and are not seen again from that point onward.
