Ford Knocks

Ford Knocks is the third level in the Game Boy and Game Boy Color game, Donkey Kong Land III. Located in the south of Cape Codswallop, it is the third level in the area. This stilt level takes place on a series of boardwalks hanging over a river. The stilts supporting the docks are much higher than in Red Wharf, so if the Kongs fall into the shallow river, they may not always be able to get back on the wharf. Though the river may be the easier way to cross the level, most bonuses, including the K-O-N-G Letters and the first Bonus Barrel, are found in the upper half of the level. Therefore, it is wiser for Dixie and Kiddy to stay on the boardwalks. Sneeks and Kobbles are seen again here, but Ford Knocks also introduces new enemies such as Buzzes, Knik-Knaks and Booty Birds.

In the Time Attack mode, unlocked after defeating Baron K. Roolenstein in the The Lost World, Ford Knocks appears again to represent "Stilt" levels. It must be completed in less than 48 seconds. The Kongs must not fall into the water, as doing so will slow them down considerably.

Level Layout
At the start of the level, the heroes will have to walk down some boardwalks and cross a small pit containing the letter K. After that, they will need to walk along the wharves, instead of swimming underwater, getting over a few gaps. Eventually they will begin walking along a strait path and then on to a high platform, supported by large stilts. Jumping off of the roof, they will make their way up and down some boardwalks to an area full of tightropes. Without falling into the water, they should climb across the ropes. As they trevel, they will have to avoid some Buzzes. After getting back on the boardwalks, grabbing the letter O, the apes will find the Star Barrel.
