Freezing Fun

Freezing Fun is the second level in Donkey Kong Land, and also the second level of Gangplank Galleon Ahoy!.

This level takes place on a cold, winter area, high atop a snowy mountain. There are a few barrels to shoot Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong to their destinations. The level also features lot of rather large abysses, and to make it even harder, they Kongs might slide off slippery surfaces by accident. Although the temperature is low and chilly, many enemies thrive in this level. Kritters and Slippas reappear, as well as the newly introduced enemies, Gnawtys, Zingers, and Hogwashes.

Level Layout
Starting from the beginning, the heroes must travel east down the slippery hill. Enemies of all kinds appear as they move along, and they can attack a kong if they are not careful. Later, the Kongs get into a barrel and shoot a little bit farther through the level. From there, they need to keep going and avoid a few enemies. Hogwashes fly right up to them, and a Kremling also lurks nearby. Eventually, they pass the letter K and have to jump across a small gap, then leap into a barrel. As the barrel before, this one shoots them a little farther through the level. Moving on, the group must go more eastward and bounce off of a Hogwash to cross a large gap that can be tricky to cross without assistance. After this, they must avoid more enemies and grab a Kong Token, which is in between two dangerous Kremlings. If the heroes keep going east, they get to the Continue Point.

Halfway through the level, the kongs must continue east and dodge a few more enemies. There are also two large gaps as they travel through, and one involves the Kongs bouncing off of two Hogwashes to get across. Later, they pass the letter O and cross another abyss, although this one is easy to cross, as it is quite small. Soon, the group can find the letter N under a Zinger, and then have to travel east from there. They need to cross a few gaps as they go through the rest of this level, and then go into another barrel. Again, it blasts them farther through the stage, where they must bounce off of a tire to cross a large abyss. This is followed by another tire, and there is a Zinger above it to get in the way this time. After this, they pass the letter G and avoid one last Kremling, until they soon find a portal leading out of the level.

Bonus Area(s)

 * To get to the only Bonus Area of Freezing Fun, the Kongs must look upward when they get to a short gap after a large hill. They can see a barrel above them. It is too high to get to with a simple jump. However they can go back to the top of the hill and run down fast to get an extra boost on their jump, and then hop up to the barrel as they go down. If they do this correctly, they can get into the barrel. It shoots them to the Bonus Area, where they can just freely collect bananas and then leave. Two Life Balloons are here, too, but they float away fast.
