Shifty Smashers

Shifty Smashers is the twenty-second level in the Nintendo Wii game, Donkey Kong Country Returns. It is also the seventh and final level in the Ruins world. This level is the Ruins world's secret level, as it can only be unlocked if all of the K-O-N-G Letters are collected in other Ruins levels. As a result, the level is not required to beat the game and does not feature any K-O-N-G Letters.

Set in a temple, Shifty Smashers introduces many golden platforms, which appear to have Donkey Kong themed pictures shown on them. These dangerous platforms are scattered throughout the whole level, taking up most of its space. They constantly move back and fourth about every second, so Donkey and Diddy Kong must carefully maneuver around them as they move to progress and avoid being crushed. The level also features some spikes, which are attached to ceilings that slowly move up and down; they move so far down that the Kongs must crouch down to dodge them. This level does not feature many enemies, and only has a few Tiki Tanks in it.
