Pirate Panic (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)

Pirate Panic is the first level of Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest and Donkey Kong Land 2. It is located on the Gangplank Galleon. In this level is Kaptain K. Rool's cabin, which holds a Red Balloon and a note from the crocodile himself, stating that he's kidnapped Donkey Kong, and is holding him ransom for the Banana Hoard. The level is populated by many Neeks, Klomps, and Klobbers who are not much of a threat to the Kongs. Much like in the first level of the original Donkey Kong Country, the Kongs will discover Rambi, who is needed to bust open the entrance to a Bonus Level.

''Donkey Kong Country 2
From the start of the level, the Kongs must simply travel forward. As they go, there are few Neeks in the way, but they can easily be beat by being jumped on or by being hit by a barrel. As they continue to travel on, more enemies are be encountered. At some point, the monkeys should meet two Kremlings, who they can jump on, and afterward, find the Star Barrel. Halfway through the level, the Kongs should meet more Neeks and then have to jump across a small gap on the ship that they can fall through. Then, they should see a pile of large barrels, and on the top of it is a box with Rambi the Rhino inside. Diddy and Dixie can open that box and ride on Rambi to get through the level more easily. The group of animals should then jump off the pile of barrels and make their way down the ship, climbing down some more barrels. Almost through the level, they must move on and avoid some Kremlings in their way, until they cross the "No Rambi" sign, which makes Rambi disappear when passed. Finally, the Kongs should reach the end of their first level with the End of Level Target.

''Donkey Kong Land 2
In Donkey Kong Land 2 the level is much different. From the start, the Kongs must go east across the ship and avoid many Neeks. Not long after, they must jump on a pile of barrels to reach a high ledge on the ship. They should safely climb up every level of the ship, and then drop down near some more barrels. As the monkeys continue, they must defeat some more Neeks and a few Kremlings, and then enter an area where they must jump across a small gap in the ship. The heroes then must continue east and break the Star Barrel. Halfway through the level, the Kongs should continue east and defeat even more enemies in their way. There are more barrels as they go to climb on and grab bananas as they travel in that direction. Once the monkeys both walk up some stairs, they should find a spring leading out of the level.

Bonus Level(s)

 * The first Bonus Level is found in the large crack in the ship. If Diddy or Dixie jump into it and more right, they can be blasted to the first Bonus Level. Here, the Kongs must jump on piles of barrels. The coin is on the highest pile. They can simply climb on each barrel and reach the Kremkoin.
 * The second Bonus Level is found at inside the ship near a group of barrels (Rambi is needed to reach the Bonus Level). Here, Diddy or Dixie should find an arrow of bananas pointing to a closed door. When facing the closed door, they then must use Rambi's charge attack to smash through the door, which leads them into the second Bonus Level. Here, they must defeat all the Neeks and Kremlings who are scattered around on barrels all over the ship. Once they are all beat, a Kremkoin appears for the monkeys to get.

DK Coin

 * The DK Coin is found next to a formation of large barrels. The Kongs must jump up on the stairs of barrels, where the DK Coin can be seen to the right. The monkeys must simply jump up and reach the coin to get it.

Golden Feather (GBA Only)

 * To find the Golden Feather, the monkeys must travel to find bananas in the shape of the letter R on top of four barrels. If they use their Team-up move, they can throw one monkey up higher, who will possibly grab the feather in mid air.

Photograph (GBA Only)

 * To find the photograph in this level, which can be used to add a picture into Wrinkly's Scrapbook, the heroes must first visit Wrinkly at Kong Kollege and learn about their "homework". After that, they must head to Pirate Panic's second Bonus Level and defeat the first Klomp. Once this is done, they are given the photograph.

Kremkoin Secret
Inside Kaptain K. Rool's cabin every single Kremkoin can be collected in the following way:
 * 1) Enter Kaptain K. Rool's cabin and leave without touching anything.
 * 2) Do not collect the two bananas outside, then go to the Kremling near a bunch of bananas. Collect it and return to the cabin (still do not touch the two near the entrance).
 * 3) Repeat this process, then return to the cabin, jump over K. Rool's note, and collect the balloon, then a single Kremkoin will appear. It is worth 75 Kremkoins.

Bonus Barrel(s)

 * Near a large pile of barrels, Diddy and Dixie should see a Banana Coin with a trail of bananas under it. If Dixie Kong is used at this point and flutters to the right, she should see a Bonus Barrel in the air and get into it. In the Bonus Level, the Kongs must go across another ship that is much smaller, jumping on barrels and reaching higher ledges. At the end of the ship is the Kremkoin.

DK Coin

 * On the pile of barrels near the letter N, the Kongs must jump to the right and get into a smaller barrel. It should shoot them to the DK Coin, then to the ground.
