Forest Frenzy

Forest Frenzy is the thirteenth level of the classic Super Nintendo game, Donkey Kong Country. It is also the third level of the Vine Valley area on Donkey Kong Island.

This level takes place in a forest around Tree Top Town and Vine Valley. The area is filled with numerous abysses and enemies, and the only way to get away from them is with the use of many mobile ropes, which move from left to right when grabbed. As the ropes carry the Kongs over the abysses, they have to watch out for numerous enemies by sliding around the twines. These enemies include Neckies and Zingers, who attempt to knock the primates off of the ropes and down through the trees. Some Kritters also appear here to attack the Kongs as they walk along the ground areas.

Level Layout
From the start of the level, the Kongs must head east and swing along a rope to cross a wide abyss. When they get off the rope, they must beat a few Kritters and then grab onto another rope. It will swing to them to small platform where another rope is located. When they cling onto this, it will take them to the next rope. This rope will lead the heroes back to land, where they will find another rope. It will take them over a large pit and then to a platform. Another rope waits nearby. When the monkeys grab onto it, the rope will guide them over the trees. As it takes them, however, they will have to watch out for many dangerous Zingers scattered all around the area. Once the rope stops, the monkeys can jump off and hit the Star Barrel.

Halfway through the level, the group must grab onto another rope. The rope will glide them to a small platform where the next rope waits. When they get on this rope, they will be taken to an area with several Zingers. The monkeys will have to avoid them all and then reach two platforms with Kritters on them. These foes should be defeated, as well as the Necky between the platforms. Once this is done, the heroes must grab onto a rope and be lead to yet another rope. This rope will guide them across an area filled with numerous Zingers, swarming all over the place. When the Kongs near the end of the area, they will encounter a group of vicious Neckies. These foes must be dodged just like the Zingers. After Donkey and Diddy get off of this rope, they will be on land around several Kritters, all perched on small ledges. They must all be defeated as the Kongs come by. Once they drop down the final ledge, the heroes will see the exit sign, as well as the way out of the level.

K-O-N-G Letters

 * K: The letter K can be found in the second abyss in the level. A super-jump is required to reach it.
 * O: The letter O is located next to a Zinger in the fourth abyss in the level.
 * N: The letter N can be found above the third abyss from the Star Barrel between a trail of bananas placed under a Zinger.
 * G: The Kongs can find the letter G in the final abyss in the level as they swing between a pair of Zingers found before another Zinger that orbits an Extra Life Balloon.

Bonus Levels

 * While the heroes ride on the last rope in the level, they encounter many Neckies flying at them. At this time, they should look down and try to spot a barrel that leads to the level's first Bonus Level. They can discover this barrel near the end of the area. Once it is spotted, they must climb down the rope and get in, entering the Bonus Level. There, they must watch an Animal Token of Rambi the Rhinoceros as it moves around four barrels at a fast stopped. When it stops, they must choose the barrel they think it is in. If they chose correctly, the Kongs are awarded with the token. Once they are done with this bonus, they are brought back to the main level. They are also forced out of the bonus without a prize if they fail to choose the correct barrel.
 * After the Kongs jump off the last rope, they must glide over a Kritter and hit into an area of the ground. A barrel pops out of the ground after they slam into it. This barrel should be carried up the several ledges through the rest of the level. As they take it around the area, they must try to keep the barrel away from enemies so they do not break it. Once they see the exit sign, still with the barrel, they must blast open the wall to the left. An entryway is revealed when they blast it away, and they should walk into it to access a Bonus Level, where they need to grab onto a rope and grab many bananas, all scattered throughout the area. Once all of the bananas are collected, they can grab an Animal Token of Enguarde and then head out.

Photograph

 * When the Kongs ride on the final rope in the level, they should slide to the bottom of it. Soon, the rope reaches the end of the area and stops, pulling the heroes next to the level's photograph as they dangle at the bottom of the rope. The item gives them a picture of a Mini-Necky.
