Longshot Launch

Longshot Launch is the thirty-third level in Donkey Kong Country Returns, as well as the fifth level in the Forest world.

This level is set in a forest where Barrel Cannons are the only way to move from one place to another. The bulk of the level uses Barrel Cannons to reach higher and farther places. Some of these Barrel Cannons are stationary while others move erratically. Towards the middle of the level, the Kongs will have to time their cannon blasts as there are now wooden Tiki statues they have to fly through. If they hit one, they will bounce right off and fall to their doom. Some of the barrels fire the Kongs long distances across the forest. There is also a giant Tiki statue with moving teeth that can easily crush the monkeys. Common enemies here are Tiki Boings, Skittlers, Tiki Zings, and Flaming Tiki Buzzes.

In the Time Attack mode of the game, a time of 1:01:00 is needed to get a gold medal, a time of 1:34:00 for silver, and a time of 1:37:00 for bronze.
