Rickety Rapids

Rickety Rapids is the twenty-seventh level in the Game Boy sequel to Donkey Kong Land and Donkey Kong Land 2, Donkey Kong Land III. It is also the third area in the Tin Can Valley.

In this waterfall level, the Kongs will have to make their way across many wide abysses. The only way to cross these pits, though, is with the help of Tracker Barrels. These barrels will follow the monkeys' path in the air and shoot them around the abysses. They should be careful, though, as if they move too fast, the Booster Barrels below them might not be able to keep up with them and miss. If this happens, the heroes will have to climb up a large portion of the waterfall all over again. Not only is this level filled with Tracker Barrels, but it also has many Booster Barrels in it. These special barrels will help the monkeys travel to higher areas of the level. To make things tough, this level is filled with several enemies, Re-Koils, Sneeks, Buzzes, and even the mighty Krumple. Kopters and Knockas also appear here near the end of the level.

Bonus Level(s)

 * Right before the Star Barrel, the monkeys will find a small gap with some bananas in between it. If they jump through the gap, they will land in a Tracker Barrel. The barrel will have to guide them west as they shoot in and out of it, until they fall in a Bonus Barrel. It will take them to the Bonus Level, where they must hop up a few collapsing cloud platforms to to reach a Booster Barrel. This barrel will take them to a Tracker Barrel. The monkeys will need to head west with the barrel and blast over a Buzz to encounter another Booster Barrel. It will lead them to another Tracker Barrel. This Tracker Barrel must simply be used to head to the Bonus Coin to the left.
 * Shortly after passing the letter G, the heroes will be shot to a high area with a Booster Barrel. There, they will see a formation of bananas, forming an arrow pointing east. The monkeys should not follow this arrow, and instead head west. Soon, they will come up to a Bonus Barrel. Once it blasts them to the Bonus Level, they must shoot through a few kinds of barrels, Auto Fire Barrels, Tracker Barrels, and Rotatable Barrels. With all these barrels, they should try to grab a few stars scattered around the area. By the time the Kongs are at the top part of the stage, they should have all the stars. If so, the Bonus Coin will appear at the highest platform.

DK Coin
Just before the the flagpole at the end of the level, the heroes will see a barrel. They will need to pick it up and jump over the flagpole to find the Koin. With the barrel they have, the monkeys should defeat the foe. Although the Koin has the DK Coin, being used as a shield, he can be beat if the Kongs stand on him and throw their barrel at the edge of the screen. If this is done, the barrel will bounce back and hit the Koin, thus giving the group the DK Coin.
