Grip 'n' Trip

Grip & Trip is the twenty-fourth level in Donkey Kong Country Returns, as well as the second level in the Cave world.

This level takes place in a cave, where Donkey and Diddy Kong must ride on minecarts to progress. Unlike earlier minecart levels such as Crazy Cart, the Kongs can jump out of their carts in this level, instead of jumping with them. This way, they are able to access different minecarts throughout the level. Another main feature in this level is its many sections of a grassy, green turf that the primates can climb on. Additionally, near the end of the level, a train begins to ride on the track above the Kongs, holding a metal platform with more of the turf on it. The heroes are able to jump between the minecarts and the turf to obtain collectibles and avoid obstacles. The only enemies in this level are flying Tiki enemies, making Grip and Trip one of the only levels in the Cave world to not feature moles as enemies.
