Minky Mischief

Minky Mischief is the eighth level in the Game Boy and Game Boy Color game, Donkey Kong Land III. Located in the eastern woods of Primate Plains, it is the second level in this area as well as the first tree level.

During this tree level, Dixie Kong and Kiddy Kong will need to make their way through a forest of giant trees, whose trunks are hollow for the most part. They will be able to stand on bark platforms and branches to navigate the vegetal maze, but unfortunately for them, the woods are inhabited by a territorial tribe of Minkies. These unfriendly monkeys will throw acorns at the Kongs as they try to climb up ropes, however, Dixie and Kiddy can avoid the projectiles by hiding behind several Barrel Shields. The Kongs will also encounter a few Nids, who may unwillingly help them reach higher branches. Though the level may become difficult at some point, the monkeys will find an Animal Barrel, which, upon being broken, releases their friend, Squawks the Parrot. This parrot will then take over until passing a No Animal Sign. With the limited amount of time the player will have playing as the bird, Squawks will be able to use his egg-shooting skills to defeat many Buzzes.

Minky Mischief is reminiscent of the Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble level, Barrel Shield Bust-Up.

Trivia

 * Although the correct spelling of "Minkey" includes the letter E, this level's name is spelled without one. Other similar mistakes exist in the Donkey Kong series, such as Krochead/Krockhead Klamber or Re-Koil/Total Rekoil.
