Weighty Way

Weighty Way is the fortieth level in Donkey Kong Country Returns, as well as the third level in the Cliff world.

This level takes place high in the mountains, where Donkey and Diddy Kong must rely on weights to progress. Most of these weights have another weight attached to them by a rope, similar to the weights from Super Mario Bros., so if the Kongs stand on one side of the weight, causing it to move down a bit, the other moves up. Sometimes the weights have giant rocks or enemies on them, so the primates have to destroy them first if they want to use the weights to help themselves reach a high area. However, if the Kongs stand on one side of the weights too long, it may break, causing them to fall and lose an Extra Life Balloon. Another common obstacle in this level is Auto Fire Barrels, which blast the Kongs higher up the mountains.
