Liftshaft Lottery

Liftshaft Lottery is the sixth level in the Game Boy and Game Boy Color game, Donkey Kong Land III. It takes place in a large mill located in the north-west of Cape Codswallop.

This mill seems to be powered by tides rather than currents, as its wooden wheel is driven by the waters of the northern sea. Like in Total Rekoil, Dixie Kong and Kiddy Kong must thread their way through the various stories, defeating Kobbles, Sneeks and Re-Koils. The tiny hedgehogs known as Bristles are introduced in this level to also hinder in the Kongs' progress. To cross the mill, the monkeys must climb up ropes while dodging Buzzes, as well as using the numerous lift platforms. After completing the level, Dixie and Kiddy will venture into the northern sea to confront Barbos, the giant Lurchin.

In the Time Attack mode, unlocked after beating Baron K. Roolenstein in the Lost World, Liftshaft Lottery appears again to represent "Mill" levels. It must be completed in less than one minute and 30 seconds. It is recommended to attack the rows of enemies with frontal attacks, as a successful hit will give the Kongs a short acceleration.

Level Layout
When the level begins, they heroes will be walking along a long pathway through the mill, grabbing the letter K and defeating many enemies, including Sneeks. At the end of the pathway, they will see an elevator lift to ride up. It will take them to the next floor, where they will travel west and watch out for more foes. If they manage to make it to the end of this area, they will ride up another two lifts and jump to the right on the third floor. Jumping into the above Barrel Cannon from there will take them through the letter O and on to another elevator. This platform will guide them to the fourth floor, where they will head east again and climb up a nearby rope. The rope will take them into an area full of several other vertical ropes. Hopping to each one carefully, they will eventually get to the next area, where they will find a Star Barrel.

About halfway into the level, the group will ride down a nearby elevator to reach a lower floor and avoid more enemies, such as Kobbles. Soon, they will see an elevator that will help them reach another lift. This lift will take them to the next floor, where they will journey on to the west and find the letter N. Moving on, they will climb up some ledges and head under a boardwalk to find the letter G. If they continue east from there, they will pass some enemies and soon find a gap. Jumping into it, they will land near a flagpole. Touching the flagpole will end the level.

Bonus Levels

 * Near the beginning of the level, the group will ride up two small elevator lifts to reach the third floor. Looking to the right, they will see a passageway past a lone Buzz. They will have to jump there and head down the path into a Bonus Barrel. It will blast them into a Bonus Level, where they will need to move along several vertical ropes to collect thirty-five stars. If they do this in thirty-five seconds, they will be able to grab the Bonus Coin on a high-up platform with the remaining time.
 * Before jumping into the small gap at the end of the level, used to find the flagpole, the apes will have to jump on the above lift platform to reach a higher area. At the elevator's highest point, they should hop to the left and land into a Barrel Cannon. The cannon will fire them to a Bonus Barrel, leading to a Bonus Level. There, the Kongs will need to run through a mill stage as fast as they can. Avoiding enemies, they will climb up a long rope and head west along a long pathway. At the end of this pathway, the monkeys will find the Bonus Coin, if they made it to the end in thirty seconds.

DK Coin

 * When the Kongs pass a group of bananas in the formation of an arrow for the second time in the level, they will ride up a small elevator lift. They should jump to the next area to the left and wait. Shortly after, another elevator will hover to them and pull them to a hidden area, where they will see a Koin, with the DK Coin, next to a steel barrel. They will have to defeat him to get this special coin. Though his shield will protect him from most attacks, the monkeys can use the nearby and throw it against the wall. As the Koin pays attention to the monkeys, the barrel will bounce back and hit him on the side, giving the heroes his DK Coin.
