Treacherous Track

Treacherous Track is the fifty-third level in Donkey Kong Country Returns, as well as the ninth and final level in the Factory world, and the seventh secret temple level.

This level features a gear that moves along a grooved path. Donkey and Diddy Kong must guide along with the gear and turn all the red pendants to yellow in order to reveal a missing piece of the track. As the Kongs goes by with the rotating gear, platforms will pop out from the wall, some of which require the gear to be used to keep the Kongs safe. If Donkey Kong or Diddy Kong do not open a missing part of the track in time, the gear will fall off, and the level cannot be completed without that key item. Common enemies in this level include Tiki Goons, Tiki Buzzes, and Firehead Neds.
