Slipslide Ride

Slipslide Ride is the eighteenth level of Donkey Kong Country, and the second level of the Gorilla Glacier area.

The level takes place inside an icy cavern. The Kongs must climb ropes to get around. However, the ropes are frozen, and are therefore slippery. The Kongs will slide either up (blue ropes) or down (purple ropes) the ropes as soon as they cling to them, and they must avoid enemies as they do. The enemies here include Zingers, Kritters, Armys, Klaptraps and Neckys, who are scattered throughout the whole level.

Slipslide Ride is the only ice cave level in Donkey Kong Country, and as such, the only one in which the tune "Ice Cave Chant" can be heard. This level may have inspired the icy levels in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest, namely Arctic Abyss, Clapper's Cavern and Black Ice Battle.

Bonus Level(s)

 * Right at the start of the level, the Kongs should bounce off of a few nearby Kremlings to reach the rope above them. When they cling onto this rope, it will pull them upwards, where they must jump onto the platform to the left. Here, they must pick up a barrel and throw it into the wall to the left. Once hit, an opening will be revealed in the wall, and the monkeys must walk in to enter the Bonus Level. Here, they will have to hit a few barrels and spell the work "Kong" out of them. If they can spell the word without any mistakes, they will be awarded with an Animal Token.
 * Farther on in the level, the Kongs will slide down a rope and see an alcove to the right. They must jump here and pick up the nearby barrel. Then, they should jump down to the end of the rope they were just on, and break the wall to the left. An opening will appear, and they should walk in it. They will end up in a Bonus Level, where they have to hit the blinking letters flying around to spell out the word "Nintendo". When this is done without mistakes, they will be given a reward.
 * After the letter O, the monkeys should grab onto a set of ropes and jump over a gap. At the third rope, they must continue to ride upwards, and then jump to the left, where they will find a Bonus Barrel. Once taken to the Bonus Level, the Kongs will need to jump around several blue and purple ropes while grabbing as many bananas as they please. Afterwards, they can exit by taking the entryway to the right of the area.
