Red Wharf

Red Wharf is the first level of the world, located south of Cape Codswallop, in the classic Game Boy and Game Boy Color game, Donkey Kong Land III.

In this stilt level, the Kongs will need to walk along a series of boardwalks overhanging a large body of water. Noticeably, this level is the Donkey Kong Land III equivalent of Lakeside Limbo from Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble, and both feature Sneeks and Kobbles. Although Red Wharf mostly takes place on the docks, the monkeys can also swim in the shallow water to find extra bananas and a Bonus Barrel. As the game's first level, Red Wharf does not feature any exclusive hazards and is a rather short level. The Kongs will, however, not only be walking along boardwalks and swimming through some shallow water, but sometimes be climbing along short tightropes or shooting through barrels.

Level Layout
At the start of the level, the heroes will need to walk down a few boardwalks and defeat some enemies. Following some banana trails, the Kongs will pass a few Sneeks and find the letter K. After that, they will need to hop up onto a ledge and continue east, where they will have to run down some slanted pathways and then follow some bananas, in the formation of an arrow, into the shallow water. There, the heroes will find the letter O. Once they get the letter, they will have to jump out of the sea and walk up the path to find the level's Star Barrel.

About halfway through the level, the monkeys will need to walk down more other the path, defeating enemies, and hop into a barrel to be shot into the letter N. They will then land on a higher area of the level. At the end of the area, they will need to follow a banana trail downwards and roll into a small abyss to get the letter G. After that, they will be greeted by more enemies to beat. Knocking each one out, the apes will have to walk down the strait boardwalks to find a flagpole. Touching it will end the level.

Bonus Levels

 * After the monkeys dive into a shallow area of water to find the letter O, they should swim under the wharfs to the left and soon come up to a Bonus Barrel. If they move into it, they will be taken to the game's first Bonus Level. There, they will have to run along some boardwalks and dodge some enemies in search for the Bonus Coin. After crossing a small gap of water, they will find this special coin.
 * Shortly after the letter N, the heroes will drop down to a lower area and see a small tightrope attached to two poles. They should cling onto the rope and jump to the right to find the second Bonus Barrel. Once they get in it, they will be lead to the second Bonus Level. There, they will need to hop into a Rotatable Barrel and blast onto the top of a roof-like part of a wharf. Jumping off of this, they will have to grab many stars in the formation of an arrow. Once all the stars are collected, the Bonus Coin will appear in a high area of the stage where the monkeys will have to blast to.

DK Coin

 * After the letter G, the group will see a barrel in the air. They will have to jump into it and blast through a short chain of barrels to land above the level's flagpole. There, they will meet a Koin with the DK Coin. They will have to defeat the Kremling to get his coin, though his shield will protect most of their attacks. The monkeys will have only one option to defeat him with. They will have to pick up a nearby barrel, stand on the Koin, and throw the barrel into the edge of the screen. While the Koin is distracted, the barrel will bounce back and hit his side, beating the enemy. Once this is done, the apes will be awarded with the DK Coin.

Trivia

 * The name of this level is a pun on the well-known science fiction comedy show Red Dwarf.
